The 26-County Justice Bill, which was signed into law on May 9 marks yet a further erosion of civil rights in the 26-County state.

As an exercise in representative government the current General Election campaign is a shambles. Instead of a debate about the future direction of government we have the second round of a controversy that should never have had a first round. If Taoiseach Bertie Ahern had any questions to answer about his personal financial arrangements fifteen years ago, the place for him to do so was and is before the Mahon Tribunal. Instead we have a distracting witchhunt against a politician with a long, well regarded record of service to the state.

The segregated wings in Maghaberry are quickly filling up, and regrettably a significant body of criminals have entered these wings. The Republican Prisoners' Action Group is concerned that Republican POWs may be forced to double-up with other prisoners in their cells, and if the Brits or those acting on their behalf in Maghaberry attempt to force the POWs to share cells with criminals they may be forced into taking some form of action in protest against such a distasteful policy. read full story / add a comment

Tony Blair stated that today's events at Stormont should represent an end to a dispute between "two warring traditions", and was subsequently described by Bertie Ahern as "a true friend of Ireland. True Republicans were only ever at war with England, and whilst she continues to maintain her Occupation of this country further conflict is inevitable. Those who have sought to ensure the continuation of English rule in Ireland are only ensuring continuing warfare between these countries, and cannot plausibly be described as our friends. read full story / add a comment

The recalling of the Stormont assembly today (May 8 ) serves to block the possibility of a just and lasting settlement of the conflict in Ireland. The Stormont assembly is an obstacle to Irish freedom and unity, it is one of the pillars of the failed partitionist set-up imposed on the Irish people by the Treaty of surrender in 1921. read full story / add a comment
