Another protest is planned for 23rd March outside Dail Eireann at 12.30.

Two women from Athlone with a child each in their care are presently being brought to Dublin Airport. Some of their kids are not with them.

People are being picked up from all over country.

Residents against Racism reckon it will be a large number in total and that most likely the Gardai etc have chartered a plane.

A Woman from Mill Street resident here for four and a half years who is sick and disabled (she was taken ill at Burgh Quay last week) with two daughters in school here one in primary and one in secondary is in custody en route to Dublin airport. This is despite her having huge support in favour of her remaining from her community.

Peace activist Ed Horgan (ex Irish Army Commandant) has been arrested at Shannon Airport for taking a picture of a US Hercules aircraft. This picture was taken in a public area. It looks as though the Irish State will stoop to nothing in its desparation to hide the evidence of illegal US troop movements. A private jet similar to the ones chartered by the CIA for illegal transport of prisoners for the purposes of torture was also spotted by him. He was unable to confirm this because he was arrested. read full story / add a comment

Six Trident Ploughshares activists have occupied the Irish Embassy in London. They are demonstrating their solidarity with the widely popular cause of the Pitstop Ploughshares activists who are going on trial next week in an Irish court.

The fifth World Social Forum (WSF) which took place last week in Porto Alegre, Brazil was a vital event for all those who are concerned with the state of the world. The WSF showed clearly that five years on from the Seattle protests, the ‘alter-globalisation’ movement continues to grow in strength and importance. 120,000 registered for the forum, almost 200,000 took part in the opening march and three hundred and fifty two proposals and calls for action came out of the more than 2000 panels and workshops that took place. read full story / add a comment
