		The Minister for Foreign Affairs, Mr Dermot Ahern, T.D., today announced that a Report into the courts-martial and execution of twenty-six Irish soldiers by the British Army during World War 1 has been formally submitted to the British Government through the Embassy of Ireland, London.
		In fact, the number of Irish soldiers condemned to death by courts-martial during WW1 represents 8% of the total number of condemnations, while the number of Irish troops corresponds to only approximately 2% of the British Army numbers at the time”.
		It was agreed at this meeting that the British side would forward the courts-martial files of the twenty five Irish soldiers in their possession (the other courts-martial file is in the possession of the Canadian authorities), and the Irish side would review these documents and submit an official paper on the matter.

		IRISH voters told Europe last week to get lost, sort of, and what that did to the Treaty of Nice, which sets out the foundation for a European superstate, was not very nice.
		Irish voters, ignoring instructions from their government, their newspapers and television networks and businessmen eager to trade sovereignty for bigger markets in trusses, brassieres, bedpans and other stuff, refused by a decisive margin to ratify the treaty.
		The Irish vote is crucial because unless all 15 members of the EU ratify it (or unless the Europeans decide to ignore the terms of the union) there can be no further expansion of Europe.

		The minister said he agreed to a request from Bigley's family for the passport, saying that it was an attempt to indicate to the kidnappers that Bigley was as much an Irishman as British.
		But it is certainly an attempt to present Bigley as Irish and therefore less an enemy of Iraq than a citizen of the United Kingdom, the foremost ally of the U.S. in Iraq.
