The evidence that the Gaza casualty numbers from the Hamas-run Health Ministry (now over 32,000) are wildly inflated continues to mount. Mark Zlochin looks at what the proportions of male and female UNRWA workers tell us.

Don't be fooled by the 'Britain is growing' fairytales, says David Craig. Any 'growth' is accounted for by the hike in the benefits bill and in civil servants' pay and a heap of other unproductive deficit spending.

A Sense of Place: Irish Community Resistance to the Globalisation of Hazard

Takes place at 8pm on Wednesday, 28th April

Room 4, SU Building, University of Limerick

All welcome

A Sense of Place: Irish Community Resistance to the Globalisation of Hazard
by Robert Allen (first delivered at UCC, March 4, 2004, published in Blue http://www.bluegreenearth.com)

Abstract:
Irish community opposition to the globalisation of hazard - industries that pollute and poison - has gone through radical change since its first battles against state and industry in the early 1970s. After two decades of conflict, which did not prevent the globalisation of Irish society, the atavistic nature of the protest has begun to employ new techniques and different strategies. Communities are locally committed but globally oriented and wise; the issues are no longer environmental or social, they are now about injustice - and communities are beginning to realise that their sense of place is more important than anything else, if only because there is no place left to go.

Robert Allen is the author of No Global: The People of Ireland versus the Multinationals, Pluto Press, London/Sterling/Dublin, published in April
2004.
