In the early hours of Saturday 1st
September activists occupied the archaeological site of Carrickmines Castle in a non-violent direct action that could rival the Glen of the Downs protest. The excavation of the site, which is still incomplete, was wound up on Friday evening to make way for its destruction for the completion of the M50 motorway.
Cian O'Callaghan, media spokesperson said: "575 million euro is being spent on the South Eastern Motorway which is the final part of the M50 C-Ring Motorway around Dublin. It is outrageous that such a large amount of money is been spent without preserving the archaeological site at Carrickmines Castle. The excavations, which ended on Friday, are still vastly incomplete." Over the weekend, more than 400 members of the public visited the site over the weekend but protestors emphasised that the excavation work was not disturbed at any time. A call has gone out for others to join the protest. Earlier, An Taisce had stated it was considering legal action to prevent the destruction of the site. Carrickmines update: Protesters who are occupying Carrickmines castle have issued an appeal for assistance. This follows the arrival of workmen with chainsaws to the historic site over the last few days. 1 2

 Representatives of Irish environmental NGOs are in Johannesburg
countering the government glossover of the serious social and
environmental costs of the Celtic Tiger. Under the banner of Earth Summit Ireland
groups ranging from An Taisce
and Coastwatch to Friends of the
Irish Environment and the Irish
Peatland Conservation Council have produced a comprehensive report
highlighting a wide range of deeply unsustainable practices occuring
in Ireland.
'Telling it like it is - 10 years of unsustainable development in Ireland', uses 34 stories of unsustainable practices in Ireland as examples of how the government has paid only lip service to the main international environmental treaties that it has signed. Since Ireland is held up internationally as a model of development through the pursuit of globalisation and neo-liberal policies, this report is globally important to show the international community that the Celtic Tiger has not been cost-free. The report describes how Ireland is burning its last remaining boglands at a rate of 1,500 ha per year to put even more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Another story highlights the mercuric soap factory that was expelled from Britain for poisoning its workers, which sells a toxic and illegal product to Africa - and that got Ł750,000 from the IDA. There's an overview of how local authorities in Galway ignored over half of the 3,266 submissions received about a controversial road project because they were deemed to be 'in the wrong envelopes' and of the Aghafad 'pig production unit' in which 100,000 pigs are crammed onto a 40 acre site in a factory 'farm' of horrific suffering and vast pollution? Other stories contrast the obsession with road building with the decay of public transportation, the continued favouring of landfill over recycling, and how Ireland is ignoring its obligations under the Kyoto Protocol on climate change.

From an Irish Citizen involved in the No to Nice Referendum Campaign
This war is happening everywhere including Ireland. The Irish government is at present using draconian new laws to move Indigenous Irish Travellers from anywhere that they attempt to camp. They are the Irish equivalent to the Indigenous Peoples of Mexico and they are being described openly by members of the establishment in Ireland as 'Terrorists'. They, unlike the EZLN, have never taken up arms to fight for Justice, Peace and Dignity. They have done nothing except live their lives as their ancestors have for generations. They are a nomadic people. Just today I read of 30 families who had moved their caravans to an unused portion of land near the city of Dublin (our capital) being driven from this land by the Irish Police.

Available On Web Now Through Indymedia
After two tribunals, numerous trips to the High Court and a further delay to allow for printing, the Ansbacher Report, detailing suspected tax evasion, illegal banking operations and numerous breaches of company law right up to the 1990s, and pointing the finger at builders, bankers, restaurant owners and former Taoiseach Charles Haughey, was finally published. It stretches to ten thousand pages and comes in two large boxes. A CD-ROM version was also made available, at a cost of E25.40. The vast majority of official reports are now made freely available online, for example the benchmarking report. However, the Director of Corporate Enforcement (Paul Appelby) decided not to publish the report on the Web, due to fears over the State being sued in other jurisdictions for defamation - if this was to happen, it would mean a serious restriction on the freedom of the media and even sovereign Governments to report on controversial issues. You can read the full report online for free, by clicking here. Some sections to note are the conclusions of the inspectors and of course the infamous "list of names", published on the newswire. The Dáil has been recalled to discuss the report. None of the people or corporations named in the report have been tried before a court, however the Socialist Workers' Party have called for the Ansbacher Gang to be jailed. The Director of Corporate Enforcement in a press release was not willing to commit to any particular course of legal action, and fears are growing that, as was the case with the Beef Tribunal, no prosecutions will follow. Charles Haughey, the subject of much criticism (1) in the inspector's report (2), had a previous trial suspended when his lawyers argued that the statements of Mary Harney and the SWP contributed to a climate where a fair trial would be impossible. The commercial media have reported on the findings in depth, with many journalists writing that those who are alleged to have evaded tax were innocently "caught up" in the illegal banking scheme run by Ansbacher and Haughey's accountant, the late Des Traynor.
