Comment on China admits Three Gorges Dam has ‘urgent problems’ as drought persists – CNN by Jennifer

The World Bank estimates that forcible “development-induced displacement and resettlement” now affects 10 million people per year. According to the World Bank an estimated 33 million people have been displaced by development projects such as dams, urban development and irrigation canals in India alone.

India is well ahead in this respect. A country with as many as over 3600 large dams within its belt can never be the exceptional case regarding displacement. The number of development induced displacement is higher than the conflict induced displacement in India. According to Bogumil Terminski an estimated more than 10 million people have been displaced by development each year.

Athough the exact number of development-induced displaced people (DIDPs) is difficult to know, estimates are that in the last decade 90–100 million people have been displaced by urban, irrigation and power projects alone, with the number of people displaced by urban development becoming greater than those displaced by large infrastructure projects (such as dams). DIDPs outnumber refugees, with the added problem that their plight is often more concealed.

This is what experts have termed “development-induced displacement.” According to Michael Cernea, a World Bank analyst, the causes of development-induced displacement include water supply (dams, reservoirs, irrigation); urban infrastructure; transportation (roads, highways, canals); energy (mining, power plants, oil exploration and extraction, pipelines); agricultural expansion; parks and forest reserves; and population redistribution schemes.

Comment on “Dead Weight” – free travel for pensioners, legacy allowances for gardai, free childcare., free school bus scheme – to be axed by Park Childcare

It’s very sad to be losing the free childcare option for a year, when the childcare costs are already so high, compared to other countries in the EU. In most countries, the government actually contributes to the childcare costs so that parents are not asked to finance the whole creche operations.

Comment on $1 Billion (€700 Million) Anglo–Irish Bond paid in full on November 2nd by frank sheehan

Alan Dukes became animated on the Marion Fenucan radio show on Sunday 6 November, when a member of the panel was about to name the recipients of the 700 million bond repayment. Remember that these bonds were purchased by ‘unknown speculators’ for a 50% discount. I would place a small wager that these unknown speculators are very close to the the bond guaranteeing government.
At a guess the names of Seanie Fitzpatrick, Michael Fingleton, Brian Cowan & Sean Quinn are all names on the ‘unknown speculators’list,who have just scammed us all.
