The healthcare system, upon which people in Ireland depend, is an apartheid system. Simply put, some lives are worth more than others. Rare attempts at reform have been stymied by historic, chronic underspending and vested interests. This legacy has forced the vast majority of working people to take out private health insurance and has laid the foundations for a neo-liberal push towards an American-style system of private medicine. read full story / add a comment

Many readers will ask- what on Earth is this person on about?? Of course the Government wants to stop violence!!!!!!!! Does it really?? No, that is propaganda. Violent men and women are rewarded by the system in secret courts not open to the public. Secret courts are supposed to keep the childs identity secret.!! That is not what is being kept secret at all. Rather- it is the corruption of the state agents, lawyers, judges etc that is kept hidden. read full story / add a comment

I'm sitting here in a wee village with row upon row of empty houses in sight. The rumour is less than 10% have sold. They're building even more. If I was them buildermen I'd give up and go home or take them diggers and go digging for gold in the mountains. The shit is hitting the fans BIGTIME. They'll try to paper over the cracks until after the EU constitution referendum but I don't think they'll succeed. read full story / add a comment

This is personal with me! Without going into detail, I personally know people who are very ill, and who could die if they don't get check-up, examinations, tests and treatment soon. Of course, if they have money, they will get seen to straightaway. It's not right! That's why it's good to see that the Dublin Council of Trade Unions (DCTU) have launched a Campaign Against The Health Cuts. Full details in the main article below. read full story / add a comment

Institutionalised religion is concerned in retaining control: the reality of power is more important than the prospect of exploring multiple realities. Anything new or different raises the alarm bells. The words of church officials come from dogma not from the heart, influenced by tradition, not intuition. read full story / add a comment

Dark tales of babies for breakfast and drugged up doctors on muscle -relaxants racing in dark nights of Belfast operating theatres (in the nineties) provided an evening of food for those inclined to Carteresque tales and shape-shifters of the Danish variety. This evening of story-telling of shamanism and shrimps was brought by the good offices of Coilin- the Oh-Aissieux, of the Narratvie Arts Club:-http://www.indymedia.ie/article/84746.

This is a short opinion and analysis based in an article written in December 2006 regarding the Press laws introduced by the then Minister for Justice, Michael Mc Dowell. He published a Bill entitled 'The Privacy and Defamation Bill 2006'. http://www.indymedia.ie/article/78780 The Bill did not get legislated for in the form introduced and the 'Defamation 'section was 'shelved'. Last night at the Launch of the Press Council of Ireland, current Justice Minister , Brian Leninhan TD threatened the re-introduction of the defamation section , which had garnered international criticism. read full story / add a comment

It is not so easy to build a time line on the issue of Tara and all that this entails. For starters the issue began many years ago and the campaigns have largely evolved with new people coming on to help as was necessitated, however, the General Election of 2007 provided a useful focus and of course saw a corrupt Minister for Environment replaced by one who is morally inept and constitutionally Hamstrung.. but I will give it a go. http://www.savetara.com/articles/2007/122707_contractor....html read full story / add a comment ![]()

A member of my family was supposed to be on Phuket on the day of the Tsunami but had been dragged away on holiday by his partner.He lost his friends and co-workers and it took us a while to ensure he was indeed alive.. Today is the third anniversary of the Great Sumatra- Andaman Earthquake and a lot of help is still needed, unfortunately the links to the Isis site are not working so I cannot offer a Grassroot perspective of what has been achieved and what is still needed. read full story / add a comment
