The Liam Mellows Society Seminar The backdrop to the Liam Mellows Society seminar was the gathering of a group of people who have worked and continue to work for the establishment of a democratic, socialist republic in Ireland. That aim and objective was shared by the majority of the people assembled in Arklow over the weekend of the 20/21 April. Over the years, many of the people at the seminar had sought to achieve that objective through different political parties, different organisations and by different [^] even antagonistic tactics.

Around the classroom many like myself were chewing on our pencils hoping the answer would miraculously appear on the page. When entering this difficult stage the words echoed past us 'find the common denominator.' Usually the discovery of the common number lead to a sigh of relief. The common denominator enabled the adding, subtraction, division and multiplication of numbers. [The Blanket] Comments: Google It! 7:06:27 AM

Free the Colombia Three The trial of the three Irishmen arrested in Colombia in August 2001 - Jim Monaghan, Niall Connolly and Martin McCauley - begins tomorrow, Friday, 4 October. Spokesperson for the Bring Them Home campaign, Caitríona Ruane, speaking as she was departing for the trial, said that there were huge concerns that the three men would not receive a fair trial given the level of misinformation and political interference that has dogged the case in the last 14 months. She said that even at this late stage the men should be released and brought home to their families. [AP/RN] Comments: Google It! 7:01:26 AM

North Kerry No A declaration by EU chiefs on a "peacemaking" force in relation to Irish objections to a European Army is as useless as a Fianna Fail election pledge, the North Kerry branch of Republican Sinn Fein stated today when a NO to NICE campaign was launched.

SOS - Save Our Stormont Anthony McIntyre David Trimble is like the persona we sometimes assume in bad dreams - running through quagmire to escape something malign. While our legs might just manage to shake off the torpor sufficiently to keep a pace ahead of whatever is snapping and snarling at our heels, it never provides enough respite in which to sit down unafraid of being devoured.
