It is with great despair that I read about the 6000 tip - offs to the Dept of Social Protection in last weeks papers. While I gladly welcome any crackdown on fraud, we must be mindful about the double edge side of this particular sword. People have to remember that these so - called welfare fraud lines can be used by a person with an axe to grind with a person that they don't like or have falling out with in the the form a malicous and false call to the dept just to cause bother to that particular person. ... read full story / add a comment

In recent weeks, there have been a host of news reports, columns and internet blogs seeking answers to the growth of dissenting Republicanism. Much of which has focused on the morality surrounding armed actions.However, what many have failed to grasp has been the shift in ideological terms between mainstream and dissenting republicans. A much better description would be contemporary and socialist republicans. ... read full story / add a comment

On the 6th of September Monday,Brian Dobson today interviewed the Director of FAS 'services',Paul o Toole,he was given very few questions,and praised for his efforts in FAS,and so soon.. Fas are allocated a budget increases in the Dail every year,despite all the scandals(which are not one sided soundbites).. FAS complaints have increased and the government and Rte's cronies are doing nothing to stop this or question it in a fair and equal manner. ... read full story / add a comment

By april 2011,what the new (or not so new) road user will need before applying for their test is £1,125 euros,and a lot of time on their hands,as they will be expected to undertake 20 lessons,after completing their theory test,which will set them back an extra 50 euros. Not everybody passes their test on the first round,and the driving testers,sometimes have the wrong attitude and no people skills,and will just fail you for the smallest slight non endangering mistake. ... read full story / add a comment

The group the WIL is holding as meeting to launch a campaign for a labor party in the USA. This article questions why this group has taken this initiative on its own and why it has not sought a united front approach. It raises the issues of left sectarianism, ultra leftism and opportunism and how these have damaged the workers and left and radical movement in the USA and internationally. ... read full story / add a comment

Israel's Hypocrisy Can someone please tell me if the Ireland has become the new Pro - Israel proxy. The reason I asked is there seem to be endless letters published in various papers that support Israel's right to do this, that, and the other, while not coming under any criticism for its actions. People in this country need to remember that Israel has played the 'hard done by' card since its creation in 1948. ... read full story / add a comment

FAS complaints of abuse and mismanagement, are at an all time high, FAS registered employees has risen by nearly 50 pc. Staffing levels to cope with this has only risen by 5 pc.

Nicolas Sarkozy's presidential decree ordering the expulsion of Roma gypsies from the French state is currently being carried out. It marks another milestone on an age old road of antiziganism (the hostility, prejudice or racism directed at the Roma / Romani people, also known gypsies or Romanian gypsies. An age old road tread in Europe which has not yet brought them early 20th century literacy rates. An age old road which has seen them pass & passed through camps, squatted sites, the Holocaust, forced sterilization & in this age of Facebook Ryanair globalisation their prettiest children have become the fodder for 21st century sexual slavery. ... read full story / add a comment
