You would think, with all the work that he has done with unions and for people with disabilities etc. that this TD would be in favour of a measure designed to protect the health of workers - whether they work in bars or otherwise. But yet we see him standing up in the Dail to speak against the tobacco regulations. Not only this, but he also tried to claim that most cancer deaths were caused by other factors! Now it is true that the Government are using this issue as a distraction from the mess they are making of the health service - and also that anti-cancer measures need a lot of work - but seeing him try and belittle the cancer-causing properties of tobacco smoke is disgusting; it reads like a script written by the tobacco industry. read full story / add a comment

The following poem appeared like a light of hope and reality in last Thursday’s Anglo Celt, a conservative Cavan based newspaper. The author, ‘Rhymin’ Simon’ provides a weekly platter of poetry and medicine to those of us who just don’t identify with the usual Fianna Fail shite that local Ireland is forced to digest. All hail Rhymin’ Simon and remember: the smallest candle can drown out all the darkness in the world. Now – get localising! read full story / add a comment

Recently the Department of Justice looked for submissions on their plans to place 18 CCTV cameras in Galway City. I sent in the one on behalf of the Defend Free Speech, Assembly, and Activity Campaign. (see http://www.indymedia.ie/newswire.php?story_id=61744 ). We raised various concerns, potential for misuse, invasion of privacy, issues over use of resources and inefficiency of CCTV as a deterrent, and the lack of real consultation as it seemed the decision had already been made to introduce these regardless of submissions made. The sham of a consutation process became even more obvious during the week. This is relevant to the whole country not just because of plans to bring in new CCTV cameras to 17 locations around the country, but because it shows how the government and state works. Anyway here is some information on the issue. read full story / add a comment
