international / worker & community struggles and protests / other press Wednesday August 26, 2009 17:42 by Maziar Razi
Maziar Razi outlines the reality of life for workers in Iran and points out why chavez is mistaken in his support for Ahmadinejad. The appeal is made to the workers of Venezuela. Full story at url below.

The Revolutionary Marxists of Iran are aware of your achievements as part of the Bolivarian Movement and have always supported this movement against the widespread lies and the interference of imperialism. In order to defend your invaluable movement labour and student activists have set up the ‘Hands Off Venezuela’ campaign in Iran and during the past few years have stood together with you in confronting the imperialist attacks. It is obvious that your achievements were gained under the leadership of Hugo Chávez and, for this reason, you reserve deep respect for him.

In terms of his foreign policy, however, Chávez has made a mistake. By supporting Ahmadinejad he has ignored the solidarity of the workers and students of Iran with your revolution, and made it look worthless. read full story / add a comment

Article on RTE.ie

University College Dublin will this year introduce fees for its student health service. Students were informed of the new charges by email on Monday. From the start of the academic year, charges will include a €10 fee for a nurse visit and a €25 fee to see a doctor. Charges will not apply to students on medical cards, while counselling services will also remain free of charge.

UCD student union president Garry Redmond says the new system will not affect vulnerable students.

national / eu / opinion/analysis Tuesday August 25, 2009 11:58 by FSB!
Newspaper opinion pieces are naturally partisan in content and often aim for controversialism, but such is the display of imposture in one from Tony Kinsella in the Irish Times of the 24th of August 2009 that it takes a whole plateful of biscuits.

'I don't have to imagine myself back in some dark age in order to be subjected to fact-free arguments. Tony Kinsella is doing it to people right here and now in the early 21st Century. He's wrong if he thinks it's going to go unchallenged or be accepted unquestioningly, though.'
