Respected commentator Liamy MacNally wrote an interesting column on the Corrib gas scheme in The Mayo News this week. He does a good job of getting to grips with the various strands of the conflict regarding the production pipeline, gas pressure, the history of the Glinsk proposal, and Minister Eamon Ryan's responsibilities. He also raises the leaked minuttes of an internal Shell meeting where the fact that the refinery had been denied planning permission (in 2002) and the intriguing response of company's executives to this setback. read full story / add a comment

TEEU rejects treaty over real practical concerns in relation to workers rights. The premise of their argument is the ambiguity surrounding the right to industrial action for those working in 'goods and services'. Other concerns include the acceptance of unequal wages for migrant workers in the 'goods and services' industry. Several judgements from the European Court have fallen in favour of Employers. The court recently found that a Polish subcontractor operating in Germany was entitled to pay workers less than half the agreed minimum wage for the construction sector, because the right to provide unrestricted services took priority over collective wage agreements. These are concrete valid reasons that highlight how Lisbon is a bad deal for workers across Europe. The following article is copylifted from the Irish Times read full story / add a comment

ONE-SIDED REPORT OF CASE INVOLVING JUDGE Yesterday, 29 April, the report of a case for defamation in several national newspapers failed to cover in a fair manner much of what happened in Dublin Circuit Court on Monday but gave a one-sided account which favoured the Plaintiff (a Judge) and denied the Defendant fair reportage. Journalist Ray Managh wrote a lopsided piece pubished in most morning newspapers in one form or another. In all cases the reports make no mention of the case for the Defence but recount at length much of tthe Presiding Judge's remarks and the Prosecution's case. This report tries to redress the balance in the interests of fair reportage. Any errors are regretted and are entirely the reponsibility of this author read full story / add a comment

2008/04/29 The leaders of the Alliance for Workers Liberty (AWL) argue socialists should not fight for the withdrawal of US/UK troops from Iraq and Afghanistan. They claim that were the occupation to end immediately the Iraqi labour movement would be annihilated by reactionary Islamic forces. At a recent AWL day school, leading member Mark Osborne specifically claimed that the movement behind cleric Muqtada Al Sadr had a policy of "killing trade unionists". Curious to know whether there was any truth in this claim Simon Hardy contacted Iraqi exile and academic Sami Ramadani, from Iraq Occupation for Focus, for his thoughts. Sami replied quickly, exploding the argument of the AWL that the occupying forces provide any cover for the Iraqi labour movement. With thanks to Sami, we publish his reply here. read full story / add a comment
