This year will mark the first ever Connolly Festival, taking place in the Teachers Club on Friday 16th and Saturday the 17th of June.

The idea of the festival is to organise an event to commemorate James Connolly by looking at issues and campaigns that are relevant today. It is hosted by Labour Youth and the event is open to all left wing activists. It is our hope that the workshops will be informative and interactive with the clear intention of a unified campaign emerging at the end of each session. Although speakers have been asked to speak, it is hoped that all activists present would make contributions and help ensure a lively discussion.

Director Ken Loach spoke to Tom Behan about his award winning new film The Wind That Shakes The Barley, which is about Ireland’s fight for freedom

Even though Ken Loach’s new film The Wind That Shakes The Barley hasn’t yet opened in cinemas, it has already won a high profile award and created controversy. Ken Loach is on a high after winning the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival. Some elements of the British media have insinuated it was just a fluke, or that he won as a kind of “lifetime achievement award”.

Seeing as RTE 's website today has no story about the body found at Carnmoney Cemetery on Monday , here’s a link from BBC northern Ireland . A mans body was found by a workman with what looked like a knife sticking out of it , but the PSNI do not suspect murder . The catholic plot in the cemetery has been repeatedly vandalized by unionists over the past couple of years.

In a forthcoming BBC documentary Richard O’Rawe once again will be claiming that the republican leadership rejected a deal from the British government shortly before the death of Joe McDonnell on July 8th 1981. Richard is a former blanket man and PRO in the H-Blocks. Whilst in jail Richard never raised his claims with the leadership in prison or the leadership outside. After Richard’s release he worked with me in the Republican Press Centre for a year and never mentioned the allegations he now makes.

He neither approached Brendan ‘Bik’ McFarlane, O/C of the prisoners, nor me to ask us our recollections of this period when he was preparing for his book. Last year Richard alleged that in late July 1981 I sat at a meeting with hunger strikers’ families with a deal from the British government in my back pocket and didn’t tell them. When I pointed out that I had been in hospital in Dublin during that period Richard realised his memory was false and discreetly dropped the claim. He claims he wrote the book out of concern for the relatives, yet he never told them. Instead, he published extracts from the book in the ‘Sunday Times’.

Preempting the backlash

Mark Dooley in the Sunday Independent preempts the opportunistic war critics in one of their rare moment of "I told you so":

"Get used to hearing the name Haditha, a city in Iraq's Al Anbar province. Last November, a homemade bomb exploded beneath a US military vehicle as it patrolled the city. It killed a 20-year-old marine, Miguel Terrazas." read full story / add a comment

Guests: Éamonn McCann, a regular commentator and a former leader of the civil rights movement in the occupied six Irish counties and Martin Ingram, a former British Force Research Unit (FRU) agent. Ingram was the first to say that Freddie Scappaticci, the head of the Provo security apparatus and a lethal killer, was the notorious British agent known as 'Stakeknife'. He had also named Dennis Donaldson as another British operative within the Provos.

s book would not attempt to be the definitive statement on Indymedia. Rather, it would be an overview of some of the triumphs and struggles of the network over the past five-and-a-half years. Its entries would range from dramatic, stream-of-thought, first-person pieces to more analytic chapters on the meaning of Indymedia. The book, while thoughtful, would avoid being overly academic and would be graphic/picture heavy. read full story / add a comment

Shell's Hi-tech Pipeline Scheme in Rossport
national / rights, freedoms and repression / other press Saturday June 03, 2006 02:07 by Dublin Shell to Sea   text 2 comments (last - tuesday june 20, 2006 18:48)   image 1 image
We've gotten used to Shell's slick Public Relations, from John Egan to Andy Pyle, to that woman with the strange accent who was on "Questions and Answers", but we haven't heard anything from them yet about this story.

To sum up, Shell have been carrying out work on their scheme illegally and without planning permission.

Perhaps the PR people have run out of statements of regret, or apologies, or are just fed up with this continuing crazyness. Maybe even they are asking Andy Pyle whether it's really a good idea to install a dangerous experimental pipeline between the bottom of the Atlantic ocean and a giant refinery miles inland, through a special area of conservation.

Does anyone why they won't go offshore?

America has been steadily reducing its active presence in the South Pacific over the past decade. Australia (the deputy sheriff) is expected to ‘step up to the plate’ and safeguard western interests in that region. Timor is the first test of deputy (dog) in the region and to date the deputy appears to be weakening at the knees. read full story / add a comment
