The power outage in Spain and Portugal wasn't caused by extreme weather, but by an over-reliance on wind and solar. If the UK continues on its headlong path to Net Zero, we can expect similar failures.

Why do we fail to deport those whom we should deport? It's due in the end, says Dr David McGrogan, to an excess of pity. We are pitying ourselves into disorder and social decay. We need to be willing not to be nice.

Red Ink Books Closing

Red Ink Books, Dublins only radical book shop to close in Febuary

hello there everybody,

yes, red ink books and murder city will be closing down the last week of Febuary. Why? many reasons. Anyway,

The book shop will be gone, but we will still be operating sort of as a distro, as in, if something comes out and it's too good not to get, we will distro it at gigs or whatever. Eg. new cometbus book or something.

We will be putting in one last order before we close, so if there is anything anyone wants please get in touch. PM me here or go to the shop.
You can check these publishers to see whats hot! deadline is 5 days from today.

www.akpress.org

Thanks so much to everyone who has helped out since May 04. And thanks for helping to spread crazy books and zines into Ireland. We will miss the shop a lot ourselves, but dublin rent is too much to deal with!

Also, if anyone has any sale or return items in the shop, please come and collect them, or get paid out. Otherwise you will not get paid and loose your stuff. After the shop is closed we take no responsability for those items.

Any red ink books activity after the shop closes will be posted up on the net, so we're not gone forever.

Thanks again.
Willie & Natalia

I'm very sorry to hear this - it's Dublins loss. Red Ink was an important part of the radical and anarchist scene in Dublin and we are going to miss it very much. Thanks to you both for the time and energy you put into the project.

Sorry to hear you are closing but you are not the only radical bookshop in dublin the CP have a bookshop as well in the new posh street that Wallace built.

don't think that connolly books counts as radical.
Obscure and irrelevant are more fitting.

Connolly Books is a grand little shop in my own opinion,but I will miss Red Ink.A lot.

It covered everything from local zines to Chomksy! It was a great collection of stuff in one place ran by great people.
I'll be sure to pay a visit before it closes,I'm actually pretty sad to hear this news.

Without sounding stupid,with the exception of Connolly and Red Ink,can anyone reccomend anywhere else that offers reading material up that tree?

I'll miss it too, even if it did insist on stocking bollocks like "Green Anarchist" and Hakim Bey.

The only other radical bookshop I can think of is the Sinn Féin bookshop on Parnell Square. Anyone else think of any others?

Anthology Books in Temple Bar is a book store serving the queer community, carrying some good material and Books Up Stairs has its little leftie pamphlets section with the trot papers and Red Banner et al.

author by Oispublication date Thu Jan 19, 2006 02:12author address author phone Report this post to the editors

Yeah Anthology books is pretty good. Their good for social theory. Post modernist, post structualist etc stuff in particular. And their literature section is great but their politcs section is pretty awful.

Well done to red ink anyway, it was more than a worthy venture.

I cant sleep, the conservatives just won the election tonight, we have a new prime minister in Canada, Stephen Harper, and since i am getting my irish citizenship, soon I can now get the fuck out of here before us canadians get screwed over. I lived in dublin for a few months this summer, and I was missing it, so I searched the internet for places I knew, and I found out this horrible peice of news. Are there any other anarchist book stores in Dublin, or should I now need to move there and start one up?
