Save the Market

A campaign to fight for the rights of the people of one of Belfast's oldest communities to survive and thrive in the city they helped build.

[Save the Market @Save_the_Market]

Victory to the Market Community ✊️

After a long hard fought campaign the Stewart Street land is now in public ownership for housing led regeneration

Unlocking the Market Tunnels project and our communities full potential

Dunnes Stores workers made history by striking against handling South African goods under apartheid. This discussion revisits that courageous stand, explores the power of boycott, and considers its relevance today in movements like BDS for Palestine.

I’m heartbroken to hear that Muhammad Khalifa has been murdered by Israel.
Khalifa was one of the amazing #Gaza Kids that came to Ireland.
He could achieved anything if Israel hadn’t slaughtered him.
Sympathies to all his friends and family.
May Khalifa Rest in Peace🙏💔 🇮🇪 🇵🇸

My latest film, ‘Journacide: The War on Truth’ will premiere at Docs Ireland on Thursday the 18th of June at Odeon Cinema, Victoria Square, Belfast. 7.30pm.

[Michael Pierse @michaelpierse]

This should be an excellent event on Monday at Queen’s, on the writing of Palestinian Refaat Alareer, who was murdered by Israel two years ago.

Many - even in Ireland - are astonished to find that English aristocrats still “own” extensive land holdings in Ireland from colonial times. And they are -still- charging the Irish punishing rents to live - and farm - in their own country.

[Roy Greenslade @GreensladeR]

British absentee landlords haven't gone away, you know. The Duke of Devonshire (aka Peregrine Andrew Morny Cavendish) is turning the clock back a couple of centuries by imposing a rent rise on farmers in Co Waterford. Well, he is down to his last £910m...

🔥Tromlach ollmhór, 92% (4,607) ar son Ollscoil Dhátheangach i mBéal Feirste agus toradh cinniúnach ar reifreann chun an Ghaeilge a chur ar chomhchéim leis an Bhéarla in Ollscoil na Banríona

🚨Huge majority 92% (4,607) endorses ‘dual-language University’ as defining referendum signals new era of language rights putting Irish and English on equal-footing in Queen’s

[Michael Pierse @michaelpierse]

Not so much division on campus regarding dual-language signage after all, by the looks of it. Well done to @AnCumannGaelach and all who campaigned for this magnificent result, which is another step toward equality, inclusivity and tolerance. Maith sibh go léir!

[The Ditch @wereontheditch]

The Irish journalist credited with bringing state broadcasting to Ireland – who chaired the first RTÉ board after a spell working in Britain – spent three weeks at Louis Mountbatten’s Sligo home while the royal was being monitored by British intelligence.

@FAIreland How many dead children will it take to boycott this game? Can you please put a figure on it?
Many thanks.

[The Irish News @irish_news]

British intelligence agency MI5 had an office at BBC headquarters in London that was used to vet all journalists, a snooping tribunal has been told.

The claim is made in a submission to the Investigatory Powers Tribunal by veteran Belfast based journalist Chris Moore.

Ahhhh, the independence of the fourth estate.

Tell me again how exactly the BBC is not a state broadcaster… in fact don’t bother.

[The Irish News @irish_news]

High-profile Belfast based veteran reporter Chris Moore - responsible for exposing the Kincora child abuse scandal - has not been told why he is being investigated by a powerful spy tribunal in London.

The London based Investigatory Powers Tribunal (IPT) heard this week how Mr Kearney was unlawfully spied on by MI5, which admitted its role last year, the PSNI and Metropolitan Police between 2006 – 2014 when he worked with the BBC.

[The Centre for Investigative Journalism @cijournalism]

At the Investigatory Powers Tribunal, the PSNI and MI5 admit a “long and consistent campaign of unlawful interference” surveilling a local journalist's phone.

Huge thanks to Jude Bunting KC, Ciaran O’Shiel of @ALGoodbody + incredible @BBCNews legal team for uncovering scale of illegal monitoring of my phone data by PSNI, MI5 + other law enforcement agencies, and pressing for more. And thanks to @NUJofficial + @rte for their support
