Date: Wed, 2013-04-10 15:31
In the North of Ireland, abortion is prohibited under the Offences Against the Persons Act (1861) - with some common law exceptions.

Defeating Croke Park 2 – Every Vote Counts
Date: Thu, 2013-03-28 22:29
An analysis of the voting results on the first Croke Park Agreement shows that the votes of a few hundred union members in a couple of unions could decide the fate of the ‘Croke Park Extension’ deal currently being voted on by union members. Because of the bizarre - and rather anti-democratic - system of voting at the public services committee of the ICTU, a small margin in favour or against the deal in any particular union swings all the votes of that union either for or against.
Should unions who are opposed to Croke Park leave ICTU in order to lead a campaign against threatened paycuts?
