Stop SOPA and ACTA in Ireland #SOPAireland
You may have heard of the recent announcement by Labour's Sean Sherlock TD to amend the Copyright and Related Rights Act 2000 without Dail debate, by means of statutory instrument. It will give away a lot of the freedoms we currently enjoy on the internet by giving a small number of unaccountable people the power to censor your internet, restrict vast amounts of content and decide who is infringing a copyright without due process.

No question, now, what had happened to the faces of the pigs. The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.

#NotOurDebt Interview with myeurop.info
I was emailed some questions today by a journalist with myeurop.info about the #NotOurDebt campaign against paying unsecured and unguaranteed Anglo bondholders. Here are some of my responses.
Don't pay the UNSECURED Anglo Bondholders - Not Our Debt #NotOurDebt
Dear TD/Senator,
I write to demand that the so-called "debt" of 1.25bn Euro (one billion, two hundred and fifty million) due to be paid to UNSECURED Anglo bondholders be not paid.
Since the Irish people had no hand in this debt; we do not consent to paying it. Since the Irish people will not benefit from its payment; we do not consent to paying it. Since Ireland has no moral or legal duty to pay this debt; we do not consent to paying it.
It would be a very simple exertion for you not to pay this debt; all you need to do is take the pen that is about to sign the cheque, and put it back in the drawer.
Again, and finally, WE DO NOT CONSENT TO PAYING THIS DEBT.
Regards,
YOUR NAME.

Radical TDs aim to move Private Members Bill to abolish hare coursing in 2012
The so-called "sport" of live hare coursing continues over the Christmas season and in fact escalates at this time of year. In the new year radical members of Dail Eireann will move a Private Members Bill in an effort to abolish this cruel practise.
They will aim to achieve protection for the Irish Hare, one of the gentlest and most inoffensive creatures in our countryside and an intregal part of our wonderful wildlife heritage.
