Here is the full text of Noel Dempsey's speech to the Fianna Fáil Ard Fheis, in which he explains that -

-Fianna Fáil had no idea that bankers, builders and developers were running wild with the possibilities of the unregulated economy.

-If they had known about the corruption and endemic and dishonesty, they would have done something about it, but just because these people were funding their election campaigns, playing golf with them, loaning them their holiday homes etc, does not mean that they were aware of where the money was coming from.

-It could be much worse.

-It will get worse.

The new group formed in Swords called SEED is a social group set up to facilitate different opinions and to introduce alternative and radical ideas for 'newcomers' to activism.

In a town like Swords, which has been disgustingly overdeveloped with no social facilities, it is important for young people interested in taking control of their lives to come together to share their experiences and ideas to re-establish a sense of community and to work together to make a better and more sustainable society for all. read full story / add a comment

Peter Tatchell writes on the need for principled solidarity with Iran: Support the People of Iran against US Imperialism. But also against the Theocratic Regime. Full text at link.

Principled, consistent left-wingers do not base their politics on the unprincipled, inconsistent geo-political manoeuvres of western powers. We stand with the oppressed against their oppressors, regardless of what the west (or anyone else) demands or threatens. US sabre-rattling against Iran is worrying. A military attack must be resisted. However, opposition to Washington’s war-mongering and neo-imperial designs is no reason for socialists, greens and other progressives to go soft on Tehran. read full story / add a comment

There is no money left, it’s all gone. At least that’s what you might think after listening to Peter Robinson, Caitriona Ruane, and the parade of capitalist economists and pundits who parrot this nonsense. Yes, we are heading into a deep recession but guess who is expected to pay the cost? read full story / add a comment
