Gardai armed for May Day
18/04/04 00:00
By Barry O Kelly, Crime Correspondent
Armed gardai will patrol the streets of every Dublin city Garda district from tomorrow week as part of an unprecedented security operation to combat violent protests during the EU May Day celebrations.
The Sunday Business Post has learned that gardai will have six water cannons on standby, that surveillance will be mounted on ports, hotels and guest houses, and that a record 7,800 officers - more than half the force - will be on duty on May 1. The armed street patrols will begin six days before the celebrations on May 1.

A Sanctuary for Dissent
Going to where the silence is. That is the responsibility of a journalist: giving a voice to those who have been forgotten, forsaken, and beaten down by the powerful. It is the best reason I know to carry our pens, cameras and microphones into our own communities and out to the wider world.
[....]
That's why people are so hungry for independent media – and are starting to make their own.
By Amy Goodman
host of Democracy Now!, [ http://www.democracynow.org ] which airs on more than 200 radio and TV stations across the United States and around the world. David Goodman is the author, most recently, of "Fault Lines: Journeys into the New South Africa."
Of the many poets of the Great War, one who received several pages in the print editions of the Penguin paperback war anthologies is Isaac Rosenberg.
For various reasons, his prophetic telling work is not found that readily online.
Well now with editors permission, one of his poems will take its place as a comment to the Mayday Mayday compilation.
-----
Soldier : Twentieth Century
I love you, great new Titan!
Am I not you?
Napoleon and Caesar
Out of you grew.
Out of unthinkable torture,
Eyes kissed by death,
Won back to the world again,
Lost and won in a breath,
Cruel men are made immortal,
Out of your pain born.
They stolen the sun's power
With their feet on your shoulders worn.
Let them shrink from your girth,
That has outgrown the pallid days,
When you slept like Circe's swine,
Or a word in the brain's ways.
*************
(I'll think you agree that is thought provoking and scans nicely) and was followed by "the Girl to soldier on leave" goto a bookshops or library read the rest.
another poem by Rosenberg - sure why not?
*************
The Tower of Skulls
These layers of piled-up skulls,
these layesr of gleaming horror - stark horror!
Ah me! through my thin hands they touch my eyes.
Everywhere, everywhere is a pregnant birth,
and here in death's land is a pregnant birth.
Your own crying is less mortal
that the amazing soul in your body.
Your own crying yon parrot takes up
and from your empty skull cries it afterwards.
Those whose dark activities unenchanted
days from gyrating days, suspending them
to thrust them far from sight, from the gyrating days
which have gone widening on and left us here,
cast derelicts lost for ever.
When aged flesh looks down on tender brood;
for he knows between his thin ribs' walls
the giant universe, the interminable
Panorama - synods, myths and creeds,
He knows his dust from his seed.
(I suggest that our young and old people read the poetry of Rosenberg, and learn that that poet's name means more than merely one character from the block busting movie "pelican brief" with the truly gorgeous prety girl with the longest legs imaginable whose name i can't quite remember)
