For many people who do not read Private Eye - it is just the magazine that is always being sued. This is because the only time the public ever hears about it is when the newspapers report that a libel writ has been issued or an out of court settlement has been reached. The impression is therefore widespread that Private Eye is constantly being bombarded with writs and at any moment it would go out of business as a result (1979: Goldenballs book Richard Ingrams)............ read full story / add a comment

Almost 210 years ago on the 23rd of May 1798 the largest popular republican rising in Irish history began. Across the island tens of thousands fought under the banner of the United Irishmen. Hundreds of thousands had been sworn into the organization in the preceding four years. On four occasions revolutionary France sent thousands of troops to aid the rebellion, the United Irishmen had built contacts with revolutionary republicans across the globe, including the USA, France, Hamburg and England. The response of the British state to the rise of the United Irishmen was a brutal counterinsurgency campaign that stirred up sectarian conflict on the island. 1798 thus came to shape much of the political struggles that took place in the following centuries. read full story / add a comment

To Precede this 'Opinon and Analysis' on the Constitutional crisis of May and June 2006 and right up to this election, I want to state that the statute which came about as a result of emergency legislation equally mitigates against the 12-17 year old pre-consent boy; but the sub-title of the piece is focussed on the creation of an under-class. The collapse of the 1935 legislation which came about as a direct result of the Laffoy Judgement on the 'A' case led to the introduction of the Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) Bill 2006, (amended 2007), this included the insertion of the unconstitutional section 5 into the statute, which still stands , without repeal and without re-visit. read full story / add a comment

This is just a short Opinon and analysis, because details are sketchy and the Irish Times has the story. COSC was set up rather rapidly by the Dept of Justice in the run-up to the General election. It involved a reply to the burgeoning problem of violence against women and was set up under the aegis of 'Equality'- there seems to be a problem with the issue , as last night a press release from combined Violence against women campaigns including Amnesty, The Rape Crisis Network, the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre and other concerned Non-Governmental Organisations asked for it's remit to be published and for it's work to be stopped. read full story / add a comment

"The Primary focus of a small piece like this would generally be accompanied
by the two images which I had considered putting up, but everyone who is regarding
the debasement of their culture in the face of Globalisation would have an
image in mind that fulfills the picture My focus in usually on Gender and Debasement" http://www.indymedia.org.uk/2007/05/370522.html read full story / add a comment

This is just an attempt to see if some of the large social changes taking place in Ireland right now are the result of deliberate government policies, aimed at controlling dissent, rather than just random acts. read full story / add a comment

Thomas McLaughlin assures us that “no one actually tried to steal last Thursday’s ballot” (Glasgow Herald, Letters, 7 May 2007). But how do any of us know? If a team of e-fraudsters had succeeded in shifting one vote in ten from Party X to Party Y would they have left a calling card out of sheer bravado? read full story / add a comment

Esperanto and the libertarian movement The purpose of this short article is, firstly, to inform readers of the benefits to be had learning the international language –Esperanto, secondly, to illustrate how the Esperanto movement, through the efforts of its world body SAT (Sennacieca Asocio Tutmondo, or non-national world association of Esperanto) is strongly committed to the fight for workers’ rights worldwide, and against the rise of global capitalism, and finally to look ahead to the possibility of forming a Workers’ Esperantist Movement throughout Ireland. read full story / add a comment

The Inter-Faith Roundtable is a loose affiliation of people of different beliefs (from Christians, to Muslims, Hindus to Sikh etc) who seek to promote peace, tolerance, respect and understanding between the creeds and those of none. We believe that integration is an essential part of that process, as the lessons of Europe so starkly indicate. read full story / add a comment

100 years ago Belfast saw the first big battle between the working and employing classes in Ireland. The dockers' and carters' strike was the spark which lit a fire of working class militancy. Workers were flexing their muscle, Catholic and Protestant were uniting, 'Larkinism' was giving the bosses nightmares. Even the police got caught up in the new mood and mutinied. read full story / add a comment

The nurses’ work-to-rule and their threat to escalate the action has been met with an outraged onslaught by Mary Harney and Bertie Ahern. The sight of a group of workers standing up and demanding their rights has become so unusual that it seems as if the government cannot believe the temerity of the nurses in doing just that. read full story / add a comment
