Protest: Lets take back our country

Sunday, August 8, 2010 - 16:46

A lot of people have been saying that they want a change in government. Lets all stop talking about it and do something. What we are proposing is a peaceful protest in front of Leinster House when the Dáil next sits on September 29th.

While this event has been planned by members of the Pirate party this is about more than just the party. This is about giving the people of this country back the control they have every right to hold over their government.

A sickening Joke

The ACTA negotiators from the Commission came to the European Parliament today, to inform the Parliament about what happened in the last round of negotiations in Luzern.

However, the meeting where the information was to be given was declared ”in camera”, i.e.: closed to the public.

Eircom customers: Have you been struck by a 3-strike volley?

Wednesday, June 16, 2010 - 13:28

Today the Times has an article about how Vodafone is also being targeted for a 3 strikes regime by IRMA and that the negotiations are coming along.

With Vodafone doing the dirty deal and of course Meteor working out the battle plans with IRMA too it seems like we will not be seeing an end to this foolishness any time soon. Especially given the upcoming court actions against O2, 3 and UPC.

It goes without saying that the Pirate Party is opposed to the current government. We can only hope that some of the members of the current government value their constituents more than their salaries and do the right thing. The motion of confidence is currently being discussed.
