Protest Meeting at Eircom HQ (near Heuston Station) - Tue 24th Feb at 12.30pm
Eircom plans to award a major contract to Israeli company Amdocs. This is despite the recent murderous Israeli assault on Gaza, which claimed the lives of over 1,300 people, including more than 300 children. Israel has shown a blatant disregard for international law and the norms of civilised behaviour.
Protest against this to show your opposition to Eircom’s “Business As Usual” attitude.

Campaign Against EU Constitution - Say No to Lisbon
Press Statement – Embargo - 26th February, 2008 - UNITE Offices on 55-56 Middle Abbey St
RTE Coverage of 2008 Lisbon Debate Unbalanced and grossly in favour of Yes Side
In a 71 - page report entitled “Falling at the Feet of Power” launched on Thursday 26th February, the Campaign Against the EU Constitution (CAEUC) – NO to Lisbon argued strongly that RTE’s coverage of the Lisbon debate in 2008 had been unbalanced in favour of the Yes side.
The report analysed RTE’s six top News and Current affairs programmes and found problems in relation to fairness and balance.. The CAEUC research revealed, for example, that 63% of the speakers who spoke on the top six RTE news and current affairs programmes were supporters of the Yes side. The report also documented 115 incidents where RTE did not comply with its own Charter to “strive to reflect fairly and equally the … political diversity of Ireland and its peoples”.
