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.

Why Does Everything in Britain End Up Like An Episode Of Dad?s Army? Tue Sep 02, 2025 09:00 | Guy de la B?doy?re
Why does almost nothing get done properly in Britain? It's because they follow one simple law, says Guy de la B?doy?re: every organisation, committee and project will inevitably degenerate into a scene from Dad's Army.

Can the Tories? Junking of Net Zero Be Trusted? Tue Sep 02, 2025 07:00 | Ben Pile
It's great that Kemi Badenoch says the Tories will now drill in the North Sea. But can the party that brought us the fracking ban and windfall tax be trusted while its wet-green wing is still at large? asks Ben Pile.

It does raise the question.
Although Mick Wallace,the crook is no angel himself,he has filed false tax returns,and has raided public funds,are the people of wexford mental voting him into power,i know its his first term but on first impression this guy is a clear crook and his actions are not the actions of a man that represents you or me joe public.
He is an independant alright,a self serving rat. There is a good reason why i dont vote independants most of them are greedy double jobbers,and are self serving rats.
Yes of course he did it to smear him. Why else would he?
The whole point of the constant attacks on Wallace is that FG & Labour want him out of his seat and they are working hard to ensure he doesn't get in the next time around because FG expect to take that Wexford seat in the next election. If you check back at the 2011 election (see link below), Wallace topped the poll so FG & Lab know there is a lot of work to do to whittle away all those votes.
If we were to listen to the mainstream media you get the impression that Wallace is responsible for all the corruption and tax fraud in this country. It is possible that he has got more newsprint and media air-time than all the other rogues put together.
And while we are at it let's remind ourselves of some of these other rogues, taking some of the names that people might know and who are in NAMA or have loans from them -all of whom have been bailed out and we the public are paying for the gambles and speculations of these people. This is not the full list by any means.

This information was gleaned from: http://namawinelake.wordpress.com/the-developers/ -where they maintain a more complete list.
For the election database see the link below or just see the attached image which is a snapshot of the same
Wexford 2011 election results. Wallace topped the poll. And FG & Lab need to knock him out for next time around
It reads like a rogues gallery,that big bill we are now (the public) footing,has certainly brought this country to its knees.
We are getting no thanks for it either.
The current government need a booting out the door.
Alan shatter has written a romance novel full of hard core erotica,has this man any sense of propriety or appropraiteness while in his minsterialship?
I hear you can benefit from the artist tax avoidance scam if you get your book published and dont have to pay a penny back to government.

This is a clear case of mud slinging and smear campaigning probably no doubt coming from mick wallace's side no doubt.
This is more about the credibility of political 'personalities' than it is about current political issues relating to the points argument.
Oh boohoo,populist parties want to out the ''independant'' looking out for all our needs(sarcasm) mick wallace.
Didnt that crook raid public funds ,and file false tax returns for his own personal monetary gain,he is a double jobber at best ,and a self serving crook at worst.
Im not one bit concerned populist parties want to out him,i would rather see an honest ''independant'' in there than a self serving double jobbing professional moaner..
Alan Shatter used his office to obtain private information on a political rival to smear him with on a public tv debate.
This has nothing to do with the substantive issue of the removal of fixed penalty points notices from the system after issue to privileged individuals, which is what wallace, clare daly and ming were trying to highlight. The fact that these individuals are not perfect in their own behaviour does not alter the validity of their point and the corrupt behaviour they are trying to highlight. i.e. the "service" of removal of fixed penalty point registered "crimes" from the system for privilleged individuals
Mick wallace was only cautioned in the instance mentioned by shatter. No charge was made. This is a normal use of garda discretion. Since there was no actual crime registered, there was no paper trail so this information was relayed to shatter by word of mouth. He had no business asking for or using such info for political purposes
You and I would be refused access to such info under FOI legislation so why was it ok for shatter to reveal it on prime time tv to smear a political rival??
It's made worse by the fact that shatter is "double jobbing" as minister for justice and also minister in charge of the army.
"He said there could be exceptional circumstances in which a Minister for Justice could receive confidential information about members of the House."
The above excerpt on the time-wasting, money-wasting, energy-wasting, and, worst of all DISTRACTING "big bottle of smoke" (as I see it) Shatter/Wallace drama is from the following RTE www address:

William, a chara
I appreciate that you wish to keep the public informed about your case which is why we allocated you your own thread. It is not fair of you to persist in drowning out other threads with this info.
Please, it would be helpful to the operation of the site if you just keep your thread updated and post a single link at the end of all of your posts so that anyone interested has easy access to that thread and can keep up to date on developments, without the need to make these large off topic posts on multiple threads.

Thank you for the guidance you have provided.
I will re-post the Wed May 22, 2013 08:28 comment of mine in question on my "own thread" (as you have referred to it), using the title:
"Reply from The Standards in Public Office Commission ..."
I hope that will be okay with the Indymedia (Ireland) moderators.
If not, please let me know.

Yes That's perfectly fine William. And whenever you are commenting on anything else, you can just add a direct link to your thread at the end of it for ease of access.

wallace may be a flawed individual but compared to the FG and Lab crooks selling off the country's resources and privatising state utilities, he's a saint.
At least he's standing up for the little guy in his speeches in the dail, and as such he is using his position as an elected TD in the manner he promised to.. As such he's representing the people who voted for him better than those who voted for Labour or FG who reneged on what they said they would do. So they blatantly lied to us to get into office and then proceeded to sell the family silver. I'd prefer wallace to most of those sly gombeens who are dumping austerity on those least able to handle it.
Can you clarify which parties you refer to as populist? I presume you don't mean FG as I can't make sense of the point you are trying to make.
by populist parties,i mean the usual shower of crooks(those currently in the dail) being FG/LAB/FF etc..
