I’ve just spent 3 days at Jampa Ling Buddhist centre 2 miles from Bawnboy in West Cavan. I’d been thinking about going there for over a year, having heard a very favourable account about the place from a friend. Then, due to start out on a new job, I finally decided to make the time and go, to think and meditate, to re-organise my brain and my heart, to re-evaluate my priorities in life. read full story / add a comment

The Alliance for Natural Health filed nine applications to Annex 1 of the EU Food Supplement Directive and a further six to annex II in Late Feburary and early March 2007. The primary subjects of the applications were natural vitamins and minerals which were ommitted from the Directive's Annexes ('positive list'). On the 16th of March , the ANH informed the EU Commission that it had filed the applications and would scrutinise it and the European Food Safety Authority's (EFSA) procedures with regard to their evaluation. read full story / add a comment

Next Protest at Shannon Many people wonder why so few protesters turn up for protests at Shannon airport. They frequently ask why does'nt someone organise something. The answer to this is, why dont you? This is your airport too, and the children killed in Iraq and Afghanistan are all of our children. Please don't give up on this most serious of issues, please make it an issue in the comming election. We need weekly protests at Shannon airport on a continuous basis not only up to the election at the end of May but also afterwards, so that the next Government don't take our silence as agreement with Irish Government complicity in crimes against humanity. read full story / add a comment

Everybody but the most myopic neo-conservative agrees that the invasion of Iraq has been an utter catastrophy. It seems inevitable that US troops will be withdrawn, if not in the lifetime of the Bush administration, then certainly in the lifetime of the next US administration either Democrat or Republican, when a realist will certainly occupy the White House with the mandate of a US public who have awoken from the hysteria after 9/11 which brought to them to war in the first place. But only a fool would believe Iraq will be peaceful after the US withdraw. Indeed it seems obvious that Shia and Sunnis will slaughter with impunity once the ineffectual US referee is removed from the boxing ring.That is why the UN must send peacekeeping troops to the region to prevent this catastrophe from occuring. read full story / add a comment

I have been contacted recently by a number of foreign workers who have been screwed over by their employers in both money and health and safety issues. None of them speak much english and none were in a union. Finding it hard to get them help through Solicitors, any advice on how to proceed would be appreciated. read full story / add a comment

In 1996, what we know today as the Corrib Natural Gas Field was discovered by Enterprise Oil, which was subsequently acquired by Shell in 2002. The Shell oil company had entered into talks with An Bord Pleanála about securing planning permission for a gas pipeline through north Mayo. read full story / add a comment

The European Court for Human Rights today held that Poland was in violation of the human Rights of Alicja Tysiak who had sought an abortion due to a medical condition which had caused irreversible eye damage. She had been refused a certificate authorising the abortion, which had left her forced to continue with the pregnancy. By Law Poland allows women to have abortions when their health is in danger, in the Tysiac case the Polish State had failed to meet with it's legal obligation. read full story / add a comment

The age old-adage that nobody celebrates quite like the Irish rang true this weekend. As is common during Irish festivals a large proportion of the population chose the local pub as the most appropriate venue to celebrate our patron saint. However, reports of over two hundred arrests relating to drink driving and eight fatalities on our roads this weekend leads this writer to question why in this day and age do we still refuse to follow the rules and ask is it not time we started to celebrate a little less haphazardly and a little more sensibly? read full story / add a comment

We can speculate on alternative scenarios that may have arose if Hitler had won WW2 or JFK had not been shot in Dallas or Cantona had not attacked a spectator with a kung fu kick. But the most important question we must speculate about is the great "what if" of our times. "What if Al Gore had won the US Presidential Election in 2000?" This is what I think might have happened: read full story / add a comment

I have been trying to review Joe Higgins famous attack on Ahern and his builder friends on the RTE server but it has disappeared. Ahern's reply however is still intact. Is this an insidious form of censorship of Joe's finest moment or no? read full story / add a comment

The world is in a state of chasis as Sean O'Casey might say. Since the advent of George Bush to the White House every other year seems to bring forth a war or talk of war. Few commentators believe that this will stop at Iraq. Last July even Newt Gingrich was quoted as saying that "we are in the early stages of what I would describe as the third world war..."(1) Many people are now openly speculating about who is next. Syria? North Korea? Saudi Arabia? And especially Iran are the subject of fevered speculation even in the established media. This writer would just like to opt for Russia as the next ultimate target. read full story / add a comment

It's hard to know where to start with this. Is it that they have reduced the whole notion of Irishness to a running shoe with a leprachaun on it? Is it the weird notion of having the colours of the Republican tricolour on an ugly pair of runners? Is it the "kiss me I'm Irish?". Is it the design of the lining showing an overflowing beer mug? Is it the sheer awful, "Americaness" of it all? read full story / add a comment

Today, live-line listeners heard first hand from the distressed lady whose rapist was let walk free from the court after a jury had found him guilty. On the very same day, the same judge Kearney, committed another rapist to 15 years in jail followed by 10 years supervised release. Both men broke into the womens houses, both men were under the influence, both men traumatised their victims and both victims were totally innocent of any provocation. What is the difference? According to judge Kearney, One was a young man from a "good family" and the other wasn't. So what is a "good family?" read full story / add a comment

Seo é a leannas, mo bhronntanas fágála tar éirí as an bhfoireann eagarthóireachta (an comharchumann féin mar dheá) ar ball.

Is it a sign of modern Ireland? Is it an attempt to get down with Ireland's Yoof? Whatever it is, the rise in party political electronic campaigning/propaganda has, at the very least, a few funny moments as a reward for those with a penchant for punishing yourself by daring to have the images burned into your memories. The wonders of the Inter Web are now being utilised to in the name of the party political cause... read full story / add a comment |
