Justin Trudeau wants to prorogue Parliament to buy time before the election. Voters will punish him for it, says Prof James Allan, but it's a mistake he must be allowed to make without activist judges getting in the way.

Irish Republican Bulletin Board

Beginning on September 1st, 2007, The Irish Republican Bulletin Board (IRBB) will be hosting a reading/ discussion group. Our project will be the reading and discussion of the late Terence Mac Swiney's inspirational book, The Principles of Freedom.

Those that do not have a hard copy can participate by accessing free, online versions of the book. Listed here:

This will be an invite only project, those wishing to participate need only to reply to the thread on the IRBB before August 24th. After that access to the Reading/Discussion forum will be closed (at least until another project is announced, if this one is successful.)

Go raibh maith agat,
Saer.

Should be a good debate. That said, the IRBB frustratingly does not allow contributors to start new threads, unlike for example the IRSM fourm. ThIs presumably means that what are and are not relevent issues are to be decided on by those who run the site. How conveniant for the custodians, RSF supporters whose support for crazy and feeble armed actions requires a clampdown on genuine open contributions from those who could contribute alot more if they were allowed to speak on issues more important than the next love ulster march, the prospect of which seems to have become a fettish for readers of the IRBB.

I have downloaded the e-book, and will be reading it in the next few days. I have also joined the forum, and am waiting for the admin to send me the link for log in. I will be traveling September 14th-28th, so may not be able to join in on the discussions.

Blessings,

not a regular contributer to the forum, but i am a member and i read it on an almost daily basis. while not always agreeing with the consensus held there,it still is far superior to any other of the republican forums in that the majority are at least intelligent, the others being overpopulated with semi literate users who write in "text speak".

i also think it was unfair of mouth peace to say its love ulster that is the focus of the forum, far from it, the crisis at both tara and rossport are regular topics. ive read topics on labour and social issues as well. i know of no other forum where alternative energy as a regular discussion topic.

don't think i don't have any complaints. i would like to see more traffic there so i could read more, but i do not want it to go down the road of the others that are simply unreadable.

looking forward to reading the results from this book group.

The reading is going very well. Its the first time Ive come accross this book and Im amazed at how relevant it is to today's politics in Ireland.

I dont know why the above poster says he has found difficulty in posting. Of course, you must first regester, but this is a very simple procedure like on any discussion board.
