The attempted construction of a high-pressure gas pipeline and onshore refinery in Rossport by the consortium of Shell, Statoil and Marathon has been resisted since 2001. Through the constant vigilance of the locals and activists in the solidarity camp, any attempts to access the site to work have been blockaded. If you've been living under a rock for the last while here's a rundown of the situation, the safety of the Rossport community will be at risk from contamination of their drinking water, environmental pollution, articulated vehicles on tiny bog roads and last, but not least, the potentially explosive pipe less than 80m from some of their houses! read full story / add a comment

'The silent majority of locals SUPPORT Shell's gas refinery and believe that it will be SAFE. What's more, they've been victims of a TERRIFYING campaign of bullying and intimidation - much of it led by Sinn Fein THUGS. Got that everyone? That's SUPPORT SHELL, SAFE. SINN FEIN TERRIFYING THUGS. Palmer has carefully crafted a version of events to suggest that it is the multi-billion dollar international oil interests, the huge police force in the area and the business- led political establishment who are the beleagured and innocent victims in the situation.

He’s a crook and we know it well before now! Why waste more time? I’ll tell you why I say that it is unimportant what Bertie took in any single scoop, because while our political wasters are up there in the Dáil, supposedly discussing why we should or should not allow a crook at our helm, the Irish state is blazing into Rossport along with an international crime syndicate and are stealing our resources with the aid of our so called protectors – an Garda Siochána. We have oil and gas off our coast, which is the envy of all of Europe and our political elite are cover up its theft right under our very noses. read full story / add a comment

Minister Mc Dowell , not content with the role of Tanaiste and the over-long data retention of all Irish citizens e-mail/phone/fax records for a period of three years introduced on July 4th 2006 two bills, known as the Privacy and defamation bills. The choice of date was ironic given that it ties in with the whole US/UK terror alert and concommitent reduction in civil liberties which we have fought for and taken for granted through the last couple of centuries. It has been criticised by Journalists all over Europe and In Ireland, but that is just grist to the mill. The elite in fortress europe will protect their rights and reduce yours and those of your children. http://mediaforum.ie/?p=52 Has a short analysis of the Privacy Bill. http://www.justice.ie : Has three or four pdf downloads which comprise the junket rationalisation of Privacy/Defamation, but no-one is fooled. http://www.digitalrights.ie/category/defamation (for information on the other half of the package) read full story / add a comment

This is a summary article of a thesis I wrote, and titled.. ‘Contemporary Critical Theory....Transgressing the logic of Capital..... Deconstructing Post Industrial Capitalism and Reconstructing an Alternative......Radical Theory for Modern Pirates' whilst doing a philosophy MA in Amsterdam. The overall thesis would be far too long to post in its entirety so I thought that I would post this summary. I posted it on this site as I feel that a lot of people using it would share my basic arguments and that such a modest theoretical contribution to a budding anti- capitalist literature might make for an interesting online debate. read full story / add a comment

The subject of climate change is getting increasing attention in our media, although articles on the subject still tend to be confined to small pages on the back pages of our newspapers. Al Gore's film 'An Inconvienient Truth' finally gives the issue of global warming the attention it deserves and it makes for compelling viewing. read full story / add a comment

Its time to clean corruption out of Irish politics and focus on the real issues that are affecting people. The cosy relationships between politicians, developers and big business that engulfs the political elite in this country must end. read full story / add a comment

The Indus Delta faces major degradation threats that could well result in catastrophe. The major cause of destruction of the Delta is the reduction in the flow of fresh water from Indus River. As the delta dries up and the mangrove forests decline, the sea is slowly sweeping in. The Delta is now said to be only 10 percent of its original area. read full story / add a comment

As two countries enter the EU in 2007 are we nuturing the seeds of racial tension by opening our borders to people who wish to import their ways and culture into our society.Are we ignoring the threat of Islamic terrorism by endeavouring to be politically correct when dealing with asylum seekers, refugees and others entering this country. Is it time for change and a time to take stock of the ways in which we allow people freely enter this country? read full story / add a comment
