Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8great stuff. None of that freeman bullshit. Just honest to goodness solidarity, community spirit and mutual support against the banksters who would throw people out on the street, wins out. Good to see this kind of solidarity emerging at last in Ireland. Well done to all. This stupid imported US selfish individualism that's still prevalent won't serve us well in times to come. It's community solidarity and working together like this that will.
It seems Connolly was right and in an Ireland without socialism, nothing has changed but the accents of the landlords.

I share your enthusiasm regarding the support provided by the local community in this case, and I greatly admire the people involved.
However, and based on the initial successes of protesters at places like Tara, it seems to me that such protests -- on their own -- can at best only delay, very useful and encouraging though such delays can be in the circumstances described so far relating to this particular case.
The trouble is, and shocking and almost unbelievable though it is, for all practical purposes the "Money Power" (i.e. the Global Banking Cartel) has successfully hi-jacked the Republic of Ireland's Constitution (Bunreacht na hEireann), and as a result the Government of the Republic of Ireland (Executive, Legislative, and Judicial) is now FULLY under the control of the "Money Power".
Consequently, if, from somewhere deep behind the scenes, and as seems very likely to me, the Money Power instructs our Government to complete this eviction (and the many others like it which I suspect are in the pipeline), then our Government will (I believe) do EXACTLY as it's told: which is what I believe happened at Tara (for example): please see at http://www.humanrightsireland.com/IndyMediaIreland/4Jul...e.htm
In addition to protesting, protesters need to be doing EVERYTHING they possibly can (in my opinion) -- on a parallel basis -- to get back our Constitution (Bunreacht na hEireann) from the Money Power: which has been UNLAWFULLY given away, bit by bit (through unconstitutional activities which include unconstitutional legislation), to the Money Power by our grossly CORRUPT governments of recent decades.
I sent a letter through the registered letter to former Prime Minister Brian Cowan about this "constitutional hijacking business" on May 9th 2008, and a copy of it can be seen at:
http://www.humanrightsireland.com/PrimeMinisterCowen/9M...l.htm
Though former Prime Minister Cowan (and all the other politicians and lawyers the information was sent to) ALL appear to have COMPLETELY ignored the entire contents of the letter at the www address just above, my hope is that the protesters in this, and the many other similar protests I suspect are likely to occur around the country in the future, will not do the same as Mr Cowan and his Government colleagues did.
Basically, and in other words, what I'm suggesting is something like this: "It's community solidarity and working together like this, for the purpose of getting our Constitution (the Supreme Law of the Republic of Ireland) back from the Money Power, that will serve us well -- The People of the Republic of Ireland -- in times to come."
Well done to the family and the community.
I hear the protests are continuing despite the weather!
Great work from all involved.
Just an update on the Byrne family eviction. As of today the bank have lifted their threat of eviction to allow discussions to take place. Family think that some sort of arrangment can be reached with the bank that will allow them to stay in their home of twenty years. Fair play to everyone over the last few days. My faith in the people of the area has never been higher. Let the Anti-Eviction Movement Begin!
I can't help feeling this might be a "win-win" situation for ALL involved, starting of course with Mr Byrne’s family and the Bluebell Community, but by no means ending there.
If the truth was fully known, I wouldn't mind betting that the bailiff and the guards involved might also also be very happy with this "some sort of arrangement can be reached" outcome: which materialises as a sensible and a workable alternative to eviction. By complete coincidence, an old friend of mine informed me some months back that the grandfather of a mutual acquaintance we both knew years ago, who was a County Galway bailiff in the 1800s, got so upset on what was to be his final eviction, that he decided to pay the outstanding rent owed to the landlord out of his own pocket (thus enabling the about-to-be-evicted family to stay on in their home): and, he then promptly went on from there to retire from the job immediately.
It's also a "win" situation (I suspect?) for all the many reasonable people who work for the banks.
In addition, and assuming there are any left -- and I personally still believe there must be a few, at least -- it's also a "win" situation for the more reasonable (i.e. more balanced) people working in and around our Government (Executive, Legislative, and Judicial): who are genuinely still trying their best, against all the odds, to serve the People of the Republic of Ireland.
Perhaps the most encouraging thing of all, and as has already been mentioned on this thread, is that this "Bluebell Precedent" might now -- easily and quickly, hopefully -- replicate itself in all of the many other Republic of Ireland local communities in need of it at the present time?
nice one absolute brillant
Check your facts...Its not every stupid piece of individualistic rubbish that comes from the wicked United States.This Freeman rubbish is actually a UK idea.
To give its correct title its The Freemen of the land and has as much sucess as ofh...The communist party in America!
Never said the freeman bullshit came from the US. I know it's a UK idea.
Wasn't referring to it when I said
"This stupid imported US selfish individualism that's still prevalent "
I was just referring to the general selfish individualism that seems to be prevalent
I think it's fair to say we HAVE adopted US selfish individualism from watching all their stupid TV shows, and that it's still prevalent.
