IRELAND	Irish Times letter 5 August 2008: International protest by professionals against privatisation & the market's dominance
	Archaeology needs to recover its core principles and ethics Irish Times, July 15th 2008 There was lively debate on the M3 motorway at the recent World Archaeological Congress in Dublin but also disturbing developments about the congress itself, writes Maggie Ronayne.
	The State We're In On the Eve of World Archaeological Congress (WAC) 6: Archaeology in Ireland vs Corporate Takeover An article by Maggie Ronayne, Global Women's Strike, Ireland, on the privatisation of archaeology which prioritises development over communities and important historical sites that are their heritage. The article deals with the site of Tara and its landscape, which has evidence of sacred, pre-Christian ceremonies and later was the seat of the high kings and queens of Ireland. In recent centuries it was the scene of rebellion and political meetings in the struggle against the British empire. There is a major campaign against building the M3 motorway through this valley and for this heritage, considered by archaeologists to be of international importance, to be preserved. This article appears in the academic journal Public Archaeology to coincide with the sixth World Archaeological Congress in Dublin and is also online at: www.ingentaconnect.com/content/maney

	The Constitution of Ireland: Why the Irish Constitution Must Recognise Workers in the Home and Pay Equity Endorse Our Wording for Article 41.2 "While it is sexist to refer to work in the home as a woman’s “life” and “duty”, it would be even more sexist to obliterate the only constitutional recognition of unwaged caring work done at great personal cost by generations of women, and its vital contribution to society’s survival and welfare."
