For the last few years since the CV19 scamdemic undocumented immigration into Ireland has surged. No one is allowed discuss it because they do not want any rational debate about it.

However this out of control immigration is fully facilitated by the Irish government and the EU and the shady figure behind the Neo Con movement pushing for endless war, wokeism and globalist agenda.

" I'm gonna have to knee him into the water......" CABHAIR Christmas Swim , 25th December 2010 , Dublin.

Hi ! It began - properly structured and organised - in 1976 ,as a ‘fundraiser with a difference’ , combined with the need to gain extra publicity for a situation which was then - as now - making world headlines . Those that sat down together in early September 1976 to tighten-up the then ‘hit-and-miss’ affair were a dedicated team who fully understood that to fail in their business would not only bring derision on them and the issue they sought to highlight , but would give their enemy a publicity coup which they would exploit to the fullest extent . With that in mind , the team persevered - favours were called-in , guarantees were secured , provisions obtained and word dispatched to like-minded individuals in the near-locale . At the appointed time on the agreed day - 12 Noon , Christmas Day 1976 - a soon-to-be 35-years-young event was ‘born’……. The CABHAIR Christmas Day Swim is , thankfully , still going strong and will be , as mentioned , 35-years-young on December 25th next! Sponsored Swim * Christmas Day * 12 Noon * Grand Canal * 3rd Lough* Inchicore* Dublin* Pics and a write-up re the 2010 Swim can be seen at the 'Related Link' below.

All Welcome!

Thanks,

 Sharon.

Hi !

 CABHAIR have confirmed five (heavily-sponsored!) swimmers , so far , with another two 'probables' and one 'possible' : also confirmed is the arrival of 'Santa' , mince pies , swans in 'attack mode' and evil elves 'guarding' the gateway !

It's looking like this year's Swim will be as successful as the thirty-four that have gone before it , and all in aid of thirty-two..... ;-)

I'll post more updates here re the Swim as soon as I get same.

Thanks,

Sharon.

Hi ! The 35th consecutive CABHAIR Christmas Swim was held , as planned, yesterday in Inchicore , Dublin - on what was , compared to last year , a fine Summer's day ! Five sponsored swimmers took to the water (with 3 doing the same in Craigavon Lake and 5 in Wexford) , with one early 'casualty' who wasn't allowed by the Organisers to take part , for possible health reasons. Also , Santa was in great form , despite a twenty-five minute delay forced on him by armed State thugs , and a man with a guitar entertained the crowd in competition with twin-speakers blasting out Irish Rebel songs : in between all of which money was raised for Republican prisoners..... More at the 'Related Link' below , including a few pics and a link to three 'Swim' videos and over eighty additional pics ! Thanks , Sharon.

All won Gold , but wrapped themselves in 'Silver' !

Hi M. Brody ! Thanks for your comment - appreciated ! And it gives me the chance to 'butt' in and add that each of the five swimmers in Dublin was presented with a hankie from the prisoners in Portlaoise , and a raffle for a bodhrón was held between the swimmers after they had earned their money - the winner was Dougie , one of the regular swimmers for CABHAIR. Thanks again , Sharon.

Our blog was emailed a few pics from the CABHAIR Swim in Wexford , but only the following one was deemed suitable for publication - the rest of the pics showed the five lads in various stages of dress and distress as it finally dawned on them that 'the beach' was not , alas , the new nickname for the local , heated, swimming pool....... ;-) ! Also - our 'non-swimmer' in Dublin spent the last four days contacting those who had sponsored him , and offered them their money back (Declan was unable to fulfill his side of the bargain , for health reasons) : not one person asked for the few bob to be returned to them , asking, instead, for it to be donated to Cabhair ! Much appreciated , folks - grma ! Thanks, Sharon.
