Ireland is supplying troops to fight the Bush/Blair “war on terror” in Afghanistan, and it has been doing so since July 2002. Not many, it’s true. But Ireland is a contributor to ISAF, the NATO-led multi-national force there, which has killed hundreds, if not thousands, of Afghans in recent months. read full story / add a comment

As Christmas approaches we all need to be aware of the importance of proper animal care, in particular dogs and cats, many of which when puppies and kittens are given as Christmas presents. It might be a great idea at first but what about when reality sinks in and by the time New Year arrives your puppy has chewed your child's favourite new toy? Or your kitten has clawed her way round your new leather handbag? Animals are exactly that- animals, and without lots of advanced planning and preparation it is un-realistic to treat them like cute Christmas presents that can be played with then put away. read full story / add a comment

A few things happened on 'Budget day', Minister Mc Dowell wasn't in the house (at least for the analysis) - and why should he be? his very public campaign to abolish Stamp Duty for first time buyers was ignored by the wealthy FF party. That is humiliating now isn't it? Kyoto was ignored- indeed , hats off to Joan Burton and her engaging quip-"he,Mnister in charge of climate change cannot even get the electoral register right." read full story / add a comment

Last night Minister Mc Dowell informed the media that the Privacy and Defamation Bill would not be going throught the Oireachtas together/in toto and that the Defamation Bill, alone, was on the table at Seanad Eireann. He has to re-adjust and re-appraise the 'Privacy' section- this was the section which criminalised 'certain forms' of news-gathering. It had been criticised throughout Europe for 'reining' in the press. read full story / add a comment

The victory is a confirmation of Chavez's policies of targeting the needs of the poor with the huge profits from the country's oil industry. Until Chavez's election most of these profits went into tax breaks for the middle and upper classes in Venezuela. read full story / add a comment

Bengemin Disraeli said that there were three kinds of statistics- Lies, Lies, and damn Lies. The Irish Government has been manipulating statistics of late. So now we are told there were only 6 complaints made by peace activists about suspicious US aircraft at Shannon? There were at least 60 such complaints, many in writing and many more verbal. Shannon Gardai now claim that it is necessary to come to Shannon Garda station to make a complaint, otherwise they refuse to acknowledge it. So if your neighbout is being murdered, or raped, and you ring up to inform the gardai at Shannon will they ignore your call. The people of Iraq and Afghanistan are our neighbours. read full story / add a comment

As Ahern does his best false outrage, he also quielty suggest he will ban the Guantomano Express from Ireland. A plane he described yesterday as more likley coming here for a golfing holiday, yet now he agrees to ban it, what other planes will be on this list and how will he ban them from Irish airspace if civilian planes don't need to give notice. http://www.rte.ie/news/2006/1129/cia.html In his written submission the the cmttee he desrcibes how many thousands of planes go through Ireland and the Gardai have investigated 6 complaints (It was 4). http://foreignaffairs.gov.ie/Press_Releases/20061130/22...2.htm read full story / add a comment

Isn't it strange that when in sniffing distance of getting back into power the local parties shy away from association with opposition to separate water charges. Is the thought of missing out on the double tax so hard to swallow. Maybe the truth is as suspected that all allong the likes of the DUP SF really agreed with the policy. read full story / add a comment

The most immediately striking thing about Guillermo del Toro’s latest film “El Laberinto del Fauno” (Pan’s Labyrinth) is that it is entirely in Spanish with English subtitles yet still draws large crowds in Dublin’s ordinary multi-screen cinemas. The film, a mixture of fantastic fairy-tale and dramatic account of life in post civil war Spain, follows the journey of a highly imaginative young girl called Ofelia. Ofelia’s mother has married a sadistic fascist army Captain, who is engaged in a battle with local guerrillas throughout the film, and she is forced to move to his remote outpost despite a complicated and pregnancy. read full story / add a comment

If a high dose of radiation element, Polonium 210, can be a tool of quick assassination, lower doses (as in typical cigarettes) are no less tools of homicide. Ask health officials, et al, why Po-210 is still permitted in cigarettes, with zero warning to anyone. Ask why smokers and Pub Proprietors bear the burdens of law, but the cig makers, ingredient suppliers, and complicit regulators go free. read full story / add a comment
