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. If you do you are labelled an extremist. 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.

Applications for asylum were up 14% on the previous 12 months after a surge in migrants reaching Britain in small boats, according to official figures. So much for Labour's promise to "smash the gangs".

The Truth About Britain?s Wildfires Thu Aug 21, 2025 15:00 | Paul Homewood
It is simplistic to blame the recent spike in wildfires on climate change, writes Paul Homewood. A more likely cause is the rewilding of uplands, supposedly to cut carbon emissions, and poor management of forested land.

Jump To Comment: 1 2The 13th annual winter workshop organised by Cooley Environmental and Health Group took place in The Strand, Omeath, Co. Louth, on Saturday 26 January 2013 as planned. With a break at 15.30 the business end of the workshop lasted from 14.15 until 17.00. 16 people attended including the facilitator, Dermot Mooney. I am not going to give a blow by blow account but the workshop was stimulating, earnest, lively; well up to the standard of previous years.
A youth worker, Kevin Moran, forecast that the number of crisis interventions would mushroom in the next 10 years at a time when resources were diminishing.
It was pointed out by Joe Walshe that there were increasing resources deployed in suicide prevention. I noted that the graph was rising and opined that the work being done in this area, PR, etc., was doing more harm than good. An "evidence based" opinion?
Everyone attending got a good insight into the life and difficulties facing the mental patient and into the mental health system.
Michael Corrigan gave an authoritative survey of how the idea of peer support is understood internationally and how it is received. It seems to be accepted that there are benefits but the "how" of it seems to be of crucial importance.
Stanley Millen pointed out that the whole business of mental health has come to occupy a central position in people's minds now where spiritual considerations might have had pride of place previously. He asserted that there is a lot of jargon surrounding modern concepts of mental health and he recommended John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress as helpful reading.
It was not clear whether the basic idea of Peers in Progress has any value. Can early peer support forestall "crisis" and avoid the task of trying to rescue people from the mire in the aftermath of "crisis." ?
The following committee was ratified at 16.00 to sit for the year 2013. Chairperson; Dermot Mooney: vice-chairperson; Mrs. Anne Muldowney: secretary; Archbishop Michael Desmond Hynes, Abbot OMD, PhD: treasurer, Seán Crudden. Professor Dennis Pringle will continue as mentor. His role is one of oversight. He is not technically a member of the committee and his position is not subject to annual election.
