The Republic of Argentina shares many sociohistorical parallels with the Republic of Ireland. Both have been traditionally conservative, christian nations, with the Roman Catholic Church having a privileged position of power in all areas of public life. Even so, due to massive demonstrations and strong activist commitment, coupled with horrifying stories which came to the attention of the press, it became impossible for the government to stay impassive any longer. While abortion hasn't become legal in Argentina, this article will explore its history, the parallels with Ireland, and recent developments which may be opening the way for safe and legal abortion in the South American nation. read full story / add a comment

This morning the State gave assurances to the Council of Europe that the health and Safety of Irish prisoners would be upheld. This unusual occurence happened because it is the second such report from outside the state which highlights the problems in our prisons. Both the Amnesty International report for 2006 and the European Committee for the Prevention of Torture highlighted the murder of Gary Douch in a holding cell int the basement of Mountjoy and the continued medieval practices of slopping out in that prison. The Committee visited ten Garda stations, seven prisons and the Central Mental Hospital. The report is damning. read full story / add a comment

It is scarcely enough to make a gesture towards mental patients and the mentally ill on one day of the year only. However, to mark World Mental Health Day (10 October 2007) I am posting an article which I wrote quite a few weeks ago to suggest to indymedia readers the extent of real globalisation in establishment efforts to overcome the problem of mental illness. However, as with globalisation in other areas, the question arises of how far we are on the right track? read full story / add a comment

this started as a letter to my philosophy lecturers expressing my disatisfaction about the passiveness of acadmic philosophy. Then i got carried away and started to spew my frustrations about youth orientated consumerism. I never hear this subject, that i believe is the root to most of the flaws in society today, debated in the media. I sent it to the major newspapers but got no response. Maybe some of you could give me your views. read full story / add a comment
