SIPTU Deputy General Secretary, Ethel Buckley who is lobbying the Government for the union along with Congress and affiliates said: “Unfortunately, as the Bill stands it is largely toothless in dealing with the scourge of precarious work which is destroying the quality of life of workers across the country. It simply does not go far enough in a Amy Kelly, USI Vice President for Campaigns and SIPTU/DCTU Activist Des Derwin at the National Homeless and Housing Coalition number of key areas to provide workers with the protections they need meeting in Liberty Hall on Saturday 10th February.

Posteriormente inició estudios de Derecho en el Trinity College de Dublín, la más reputada casa de estudios de Irlanda y ampliamente ligada a la cultura protestante. Entonces esta universidad seguía poniendo muchas barreras al acceso de los católicos; ella estaba resuelta a labrarse la carrera en la institución, así que se sometió a sus requisitos y solicitó un permiso especial del arzobispado católico para poder matricularse. Estudiante brillante, en 1967 sacó el bachiller universitario con altas calificaciones y fue becada para continuar su formación jurídica en la Universidad de Harvard. El año que pasó en Estados Unidos influyó decisivamente en su orientación profesional. Esto sucedía a finales de los años sesenta, un período de agitación en los campus y de protestas contra la guerra de Vietnam y la discriminación racial, y la experiencia adquirida en la salvaguardia de los derechos cívicos le convenció que debía dedicarse a la asistencia legal en este terreno. En 1968 obtuvo la licenciatura en Derecho y regresó a su país, donde continuó los estudios en el Trinity College hasta terminar una segunda licenciatura, en Humanidades, en 1970.

Midwest ACIS Comes to Milwaukee The annual Midwest Regional meeting of the American Conference for Irish Studies (ACIS) was held on the UWM campus from Thursday, October 14, through Saturday, October 16. ACIS is an interdisciplinary scholarly organization founded in 1960. The conference was organized by José Lanters, Nancy Walczyk, and John Gleeson, under the auspices of the Center for Celtic Studies. On Thursday evening, the meeting kicked off in great style with a reception for the delegates in County Clare Irish Inn, with Irish music by Cé. In the course of the evening, James Liddy’s autobiography, The Doctor’s House (Salmon Press, 2004), fresh off the plane from Ireland, was launched, read from, toasted, sold, and sanctioned by the presence of emeritus archbishop Rembert Weakland, who had joined us for the occasion. Friday was a full day, with an exciting academic program of eight panels of four speakers each, on topics ranging from literature and history to music, art and politics. Professor Seamus Caulfield’s Frank Gleeson, Tom Kilroy, James Liddy, plenary lecture, “Neolithic Rocks to Riverdance,” accompanied by Jose Lanters, Josephine Craven, Joe slides and presented with verve and humor, gave his enthusiastic Dowling and Eamonn O’Neill audience an insight into the many and varied aspects of the archaeological excavations at Céide Fields in Co.

A reception at the Irish Cultural and Heritage Center, hosted by Charles Sheehan, Irish Consulate of Chicago, concluded the day, and included even more delights, in the form of James Fraher’s photographic images of Ireland, and enchanting music by Melanie O’Reilly and Seán O Nualláin.

As “parodies of esteem”, both plays challenge the ultimate electoral victors of the peace process (the Democratic Unionist Party and Sinn Féin) as well as critiquing the cant, chicanery and cynicism that have characterised their political rhetoric and the peace process as a whole.
