| Title: Irish Soldiers in Mali |
| In February Irish Justice Minister Alan Shatter announced that Irish soldiers, under British control, will go to Mali in support of France’s re-occupation of its former colony. He did not say why.

| Title: Trade Unions: time to grasp the nettle. |
| Is money a thing in itself with no relationship to the real economy? The boom seemed to have created a load of it, easily accessible and easily spendable. Wage determination in 1990s Ireland was a State-funded affair. Under Social Partnership the Trade Unions agreed to restrain demands for wage increases to help restore the competitiveness of the economy. In return workers’ real take home wages were to be increased gradually by way of generous tax reforms. And the Unions got to play a central role in economic and social planning. It was a strategy that worked and was seen to have helped create the growth environment of the 1990s....Read Full Article |

| Title: Therapeutic Abortion |
| The death of Mrs. Savita Halappanavar as a result of medical shortcomings in connection with complications in a miscarriage is likely to bring about a much-needed reform of arrangements in such situations. The only statute law governing abortion is the 19th century British-made Offences Against The Person Act. That is modified by the clause in the Irish Constitution that there is an equal right to life between an unborn and its mother, enacted by referendum. This provision came about as a result of a legal case, brought by an underage statutory rape victim. Her family was appealing an injunction brought by Attorney General Harold Whelehan to prevent the girl from leaving the country to obtain an abortion. Whelehan was over-ruled by the Supreme Court and the person concerned travelled to England for an abortion. Subsequently, referendums confirmed the Right to Information about Abortion to be made available in Ireland and the Right to Travel for Abortion. The X-Case ruling was not overturned by referendum...Read Full Article |
