Some actions of humans are so dark that we prefer to ignore them, and may be quietly grateful when truthtellers are censored. But we must stop being willing to overlook the sacrifice of children, writes Dr David Bell.

Why are climate alarmists so impervious to facts, so averse to rational cost-benefit analysis? It has all the hallmarks of a religious cult, says James Allan. They can't let it go because it gives meaning to their lives.

Dublin City Council unanimously backs Green Isle workers

Members of Dublin City Council tonight (1 March 2010) voted unanimously to support an Emergency Motion from Sinn Féin backing the workers at the Green Isle Foods plant in Naas. One of the workers, Jim Wyse, has been on hunger strike since 17 February.

Members of Dublin City Council tonight (1 March 2010) voted unanimously to support an Emergency Motion from Sinn Féin backing the workers at the Green Isle Foods plant in Naas. One of the workers, Jim Wyse, has been on hunger strike since 17 February.

Sinn Féin TD Aengus Ó Snodaigh said: “I am delighted that the motion put tonight by my colleague, Cllr Críona Ní Dhálaigh, was passed but it is especially important that it was passed unanimously. This is a clear and unambiguous message, cutting across party lines, that the elected representatives of Dublin City back this protest and the members of the TEEU.

“Jim’s hunger strike has brought national attention to an industrial dispute that has been going on now for six months as workers at the Naas plant protest against the firing of three of their colleagues.

“The company has callously ignored proposals from the Labour Relations Commission and the National Implementation Body to resolve the dispute. It has rejected a Labour Court recommendation that backed the workers and demanded their reinstatement.

“Green Isle Foods must reinstate the men immediately and enter direct talks with their union, the TEEU, to resolve the dispute.”

A number of media outlets persist in describing the dispute between the Technical Engineering and Electrical Union and Green Isle Foods in Naas as being about inappropriate emails.
This is not the case.
The dispute is over the unfair dismissal of three workers and union recognition.
The Labour Court, which has adjudicated on the dispute and which heard evidence from the TEEU and from IBEC on behalf of Green Isle Foods, found that the dismissals were unjustified. It recommended the immediate return to work of the TEEU members, no victimisation and compensation for the three dismissed men totalling €180,000 if the company was not prepared to re-employ them.
The persistent misrepresentation of the dispute is extremely damaging to the TEEU members on strike and particularly distressing to the hunger strikers, who did not access inappropriate material
