Larry Murpy was arrested by the gardai,after he kidnapped a woman and raped her,and was very close to killing her..Only for two deer hunters,actually came across her in a distressed state,muddied,bloodied,and with no clothing,she was brought into her local garda station by these two men,who then later tried to catch larry murphy with the gards in tow. He was also suspected of killing a number of other women,and was even one of the top names on ireland's cold case list.. It is evident the irish justice system has let us down,when a man of such evil can not only walk the streets of ireland,but of spain. As there is no RESTRICTION on suspected serial killers,(who are freed by the irish judicial system) travelling throughout Europe.. He was released 5 years early on good behavior,good behavior should be relevant to the crime committed..and in a cell with other predominantly male prison guards,surrounding the cells,how can this be proven. read full story / add a comment

FAS,the troubled state agency has lost all credibility,and this has not just been recently,this has been happening for years,with the government of the state 'training educational' agency,standing by still in support of these 'services',to provide free labour,and continue to not pay the people making FAS happen,the ce workers.FAS pay employers who take on their FAS employees hundreds of euros,while the FAS ce or apprentices,get paid by social welfare,this is not a system that works for the unemployed,currently only 3 % of former fas workers are employed in the jobs market,so what good has FAS done for the unemployed minus themselves and thier business associates apart from making the dole stats look good,what use is that when FAS are draining our economy and providing no job oppurtunities across the board. brainstorming for a new name will not solve the old problems in the well heeled FAS senior management. read full story / add a comment

It is with great despair that I read about the 6000 tip - offs to the Dept of Social Protection in last weeks papers. While I gladly welcome any crackdown on fraud, we must be mindful about the double edge side of this particular sword. People have to remember that these so - called welfare fraud lines can be used by a person with an axe to grind with a person that they don't like or have falling out with in the the form a malicous and false call to the dept just to cause bother to that particular person. read full story / add a comment

In recent weeks, there have been a host of news reports, columns and internet blogs seeking answers to the growth of dissenting Republicanism. Much of which has focused on the morality surrounding armed actions.However, what many have failed to grasp has been the shift in ideological terms between mainstream and dissenting republicans. A much better description would be contemporary and socialist republicans. read full story / add a comment

On the 6th of September Monday,Brian Dobson today interviewed the Director of FAS 'services',Paul o Toole,he was given very few questions,and praised for his efforts in FAS,and so soon.. Fas are allocated a budget increases in the Dail every year,despite all the scandals(which are not one sided soundbites).. FAS complaints have increased and the government and Rte's cronies are doing nothing to stop this or question it in a fair and equal manner. read full story / add a comment

By april 2011,what the new (or not so new) road user will need before applying for their test is £1,125 euros,and a lot of time on their hands,as they will be expected to undertake 20 lessons,after completing their theory test,which will set them back an extra 50 euros. Not everybody passes their test on the first round,and the driving testers,sometimes have the wrong attitude and no people skills,and will just fail you for the smallest slight non endangering mistake. read full story / add a comment

Human trafficing has been dramatically clamped down on in the North of Ireland,while in the Republic we are still struggling to deal with the old criminal gangs of ireland,and not succeeding. And we certainly are nowhere near reform in our police force in the south ,tackling such issues as cyber crime and prostitution in the repulblic it is most definately red light zone,a free for all.. read full story / add a comment

As speculation mounts about a visit by the British Queen to the twenty six counties, Fine Gael has sunk to a new low, dismissing the victims of British state violence and mocking those who dare to question the appropriateness of a Windsor visit. read full story / add a comment

The group the WIL is holding as meeting to launch a campaign for a labor party in the USA. This article questions why this group has taken this initiative on its own and why it has not sought a united front approach. It raises the issues of left sectarianism, ultra leftism and opportunism and how these have damaged the workers and left and radical movement in the USA and internationally. read full story / add a comment

Before FAS existed ,there were training agencies in ireland such as MANPOWER AND ADCO..They were services that worked for the people and not for the purposes of furnishing their greens(euro).. For example,300 people may be required for employment in a warehouse in cork and they would,have people working for manpower and adco,who have the necessary skills to train them,most would have 10+ years experience in a factory setting.. read full story / add a comment

Israel's Hypocrisy Can someone please tell me if the Ireland has become the new Pro - Israel proxy. The reason I asked is there seem to be endless letters published in various papers that support Israel's right to do this, that, and the other, while not coming under any criticism for its actions. People in this country need to remember that Israel has played the 'hard done by' card since its creation in 1948. read full story / add a comment

FAS complaints of abuse and mismanagement, are at an all time high, FAS registered employees has risen by nearly 50 pc. Staffing levels to cope with this has only risen by 5 pc. FAS in recent years has come under attack, due to media reports,including recent documentation on fas activity in Castlebar and other towns across Ireland.. They even recieved funding for a FAS space project!! which has nothing to do with increasing job prospects for the unemployed of Ireland. read full story / add a comment
