Champion Palestinian Self-determinationIn less than five weeks the genocidal war by the Israel government against the Palestinian people will enter his second year. Having ruthlessly and cruelly waged war against the Palestinian residents of the Gaza Strip for 11 months Israel's war machine has now shifted to a full blown pogrom against the Palestinian people in the occupied territory of the west Bank. Violence from the Israeli military, and from settlers eager to steal Palestinian land and water, had already seen over 600 Palestinians killed in the west Bank since last October. Six hostages died also executed, it appears, in Gaza hours before Israeli forces reached them. All this must be brought to an end. That means dialogue. Two Good Women GoneThe recent deaths of Nell McCafferty and Edna O'Brien sparked a period of deserved and fulsome praise across the media for these two outstanding Irish women. I am sure this was a consolation for their families and friends and I extend my condolences and sympathy to them all.

Feminist, journalist, activist and writer Nell McCafferty was a pioneering – arguably a revolutionary – figure in Irish feminism. Her death at the age of 80 has prompted much discussion of her impact on Irish society. Mary Shanahan, who’s from the same generation as Nell, explained the importance of the Derry woman. At the end of her interview, Mary noted that Nell’s death came as there were many negative comments aired about Kathryn Thomas who co-presented the Rose of Tralee on TV this week. Mary observed that some of the comments focused on Kathryn’s hair and dresses.

Milano, 29 aprile 1945: Marcello ha 16 anni e con alcuni famigliari decide di andare in bici in centro per vedere dal vivo come si stava festeggiando la liberazione.

In the year 1984, Ireland was a very different place. Contraception, Abortion and Divorce were illegal. The country was dogged by religious conservatism and was facing into a terrible recession. Amidst this, the body of a baby boy was found on a beach in Cahersiveen, Co Kerry. The police began to look for the likely suspect: an recently-pregnant unmarried mother. Joanne Hayes was accused and charged of the murder of the infant. She and her whole family eventually confessed to the murder, despite Joanne's baby being located. So what had caused the family to confess? A judicial inquiry was set up to investigate Garda maltreatment, but it soon turned into a trial of Joanne's character.
