Cadbury’s factory, Coolock, Dublin
Strike action over outsourcing continues with a full withdrawal of labour for an indefinite duration.
Three hundred and thirty production staff downed tools at 7am yesterday following a Labour Court recommendation to outsource 17 jobs in the factory’s stores section.
Trade unions Siptu and Unite will begin talks this afternoon at the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) on behalf of Cadbury’s staff in attempt to settle the dispute.

Al Quds University in Abu Dis, East Jerusalem
Dr Ronit Lentin, of Academics For Palestine, writes:
Dr Brendan Browne of the Irish School of Ecumenics, Trinity College Dublin, will give a public lecture on education under occupation next Wednesday evening in TCD.
He will reflect on his time lecturing in The Palestinian Al Quds University, located in the Jerusalem suburb of Abu Dis. It is the only Palestinian university in occupied East Jerusalem.
With particular focus on the impact of the recent escalation of Israeli/Palestinian hostilities, Dr Browne highlights the disruption to the university as a result and the need for a flexible pedagogical approach to reflect the challenging circumstances.
Wednesday, March 9, at 7.30pm
Jonathan Swift Theatre, Arts Building, Trinity College Dublin.

Today’s Irish Independent
Gerry Adams had simply recounted an incident in which the IRA raided the offices of the newspaper on 19 December 1919 during the Tan War. He also said during the speech that he ‘obviously wasn’t advocating anything like that’.

What you may need to know:
1. Two sons (Jesse Eisenberg and Devin Druid) deal with the death of their mother.
2. I’ve said it before, but from Bracken to Ghost Ship (2002), Gabriel Byrne is a consistently better actor than the roles he’s offered.
3. Eisenberg’s Honest Film Review for The New Yorker irked a lot of film critics. Fair point, in fairness.
4. Was “Louder Than Bombs” everyone’s first Smiths album? How could you say no to 24 songs for the bargain price of £4.99 (on cassette)?
5. Broadsheet prognosis: Heaven Knows I’m Miserable Now.
Release Date: April 22.

As Trump keeps on coming on strong,
His opponents suggest something’s wrong,
With the size of the junk,
That protrudes from his trunk,
But he says that he has a great schlong.
