There?s no food getting in so people are starving,? surgeon Tom Potokar says
British doctors working in Gaza have described the territory as a ?slaughterhouse,? where the patients they are treating are severely malnourished.
Plastic surgeons and orthopedic specialists from the UK are based at the Amal and Nasser hospitals in Khan Younis in the south of the territory.
Dr. Tom Potokar, a plastic surgeon specializing in burn injuries, has worked in Gaza 16 times but said this mission had revealed a level of destruction far greater than his last visit in 2023,
It is time to talk about the Out of Control Immigration. Mon Mar 31, 2025 22:12 | imc
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.

Phantom, Hot, Ministry and a few others. all of which affects the 15_30 age group listeners. More info later.
Jazz FM should be OK as it only broadcasts at the weekends.
I really hope so....
Sun 101.2FM (Specialising in 1980's music) is also off the air presumably also as a result of these raids, as is another station (Name eludes me for the moment) that also specialises in pre-1990's music broadcasting on 92.5FM. The cute hoors typically picked a day to raid all the pirates when most people would have assumed that the silence on the airwaves was caused by the bad weather conditions (Lightning, torrential rain and high winds - All of which we suffered from in Dublin today). Thats what I thought was the problem myself till I logged on to IndyMedia Ireland a few minutes ago and saw this story. Another first for IMC Ireland. Well done! PS. JAZZ FM (89.8FM) is still on the air, or was at least till 1/2 an hour ago.
COMREG has also been hitting security companies,taxi companies,and intrestingly enough spy shops that sell covert electronic equipment.Funnily enough COMREG claimed on the last that some" radio surveillance devices" were used in the peace camps and by anti war activists in shannon to jam or interfere with aircraft radio comms.Comments?
Some of the above pirate stations will be back on air within days / hours. There will be protests and demos at selected intervals and locations. We are all in communication with each other to counteract this suppression of free music and speech. Must strike whilst the iron is hot. Any further news on how and when this takes place will be posted here on IndyMedia. Thanks lads.
Phantom is the only station I listen to. This is joke.
On Tuesdays between 9PM-11PM on Phantom 91.6FM :-(
2FM are being cute. As write this at 9:37PM 2FM are playing London's Calling by The Clash! When was the last time 2FM even acknowledged that The Clash existed, let alone played them?
Now we need to tell the goverment that we had enough. Yes they are Illegal stations some very good like Phantom fm.

I got this off their website .
Please Show them that you care.....
I think there will be a more co-ordinated effort soon..on air as well as on the ground stay tuned on FM and here at IM.
something is going to have to be done about this, but I doubt a letter to Bertie is going to do anything. Is someone organiseing a protest?
Useful link: http://www.radiowaves.fm/news/index.shtml
so what's going to happen to phantom now?
Why are phantom fm being turned on again, there one of the best pirate stations in ireland and their the oonly rock station in ireland. They get emails form Anmerica even, they are good and they have been going with the laws of the radio world , please let phantom fm broadcast and get a lisence , im sure there will be protests for phantom if they dont get back on air
Well they got avisit again Sunday of all days overtime I guess. Here is the news from Radiowaves. For those that dont read Radiowaves.fm its the only site for radio in Ireland a must read....
Thanks to John Flemming for this great site!!!
DUBLIN: I.C.E. FM receive visit
I.C.E. FM Dublin received another visit from ComReg today. The regulators came onto the station's land without a warrant but they took nothing. This led to I.C.E. FM Dublin ceasing broadcasts for the day but station manager Joe Doyle, who believes that he had an agreement with the government to be allowed broadcast this weekend, remains defiant. "It was my intention to close the station at 9pm this evening, but given that the government seem to have gone back on their word, we'll stay on," he told Radiowaves News tonight.
I.C.E. FM were using Easy 105FM's studios and link transmitter for the day.
It would be a tragedy if Jazz FM went off the air as in my opinion it's the best radio station in Dublin. What harm are they doing?
Conor Maguire the head of the Broadcasting Commission of Ireland was also Bertie Aherns Senior Counsel at the recent tribunals. Coincidence? I dont think so. Pirate radio stations threaten the advertising revenue of commercial stations, most of which are FF owned or FF friendly, and threats or even potential threats to their pockets wont be tolerated.
Phantom broadcast on the internet aswell as FM. I take it the Gardaí are allowed confiscate equipment used to broadcast illegally by radio. However, are they allowed take equipment used for Phantom's Web-based broadcast (as this is perfectly legal)? Could Phantom claim all of their equipment is used for Webcasts and not FM broadcast?
