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.

get some local people from the old head or ballinspittle or kinsale involved,do a public meeting in kinsale or ballinspittle,this way you might actually get local people supporting you and not being nearly as hostile to ye as the owners of the old head.
I understand it went to the supreme court, who backed the golf club. If you follow the link to the Cork anarchism web page you should find more details.
The last time we posted a notice for this protest to indymedia there was some controversy because some lazy journalist decided this must mean we were organising the protest. Anyway here is a correction letter we subsequently sent to the Examiner - don't know if they actually printed it or not.
Incidentally there are also articles on the 'Old Head' at http://struggle.ws/wsm/environment.html

Dear Sir,
The article on the picnic protest at the Old Head of Kinsale Golf Course (Irish Examiner, May 18th) was incorrect. It stated that the Workers Solidarity Movement and the Cork Anti-War Campaign were the organisers of the event. On behalf of the Workers Solidarity Movement I would like to clarify for the record that we were not the organisers of last Sunday's picnic protest. As an anarchist organisation we wholeheartedly supported the protest but our involvement in the campaign has always been through the broad-based Free The Old Head Campaign - the actual organisers of Sunday's event.
You quote Mr O'Connor as saying that the protesters on Sunday had 'no mandate or no accountability'. Whatever about the veracity of this claim, one has to ask in reply: what is his mandate? We know he is a millionaire and that he has purchased the land on which his golf course is situated. But, it must be emphasised, Mr O'Connor does not own the Old Head of Kinsale Lighthouse nor does he own the coastline surrounding it - yet we are all being denied access to these. It needs to be emphasised that tens of thousands of people have enjoyed the pleasures and the scenic beauty of the Old Head over the decades. Is such a peaceful and relatively passive recreational activity really such a grave threat to 'a game of golf'? I'd doubt it. Mr O'Connor's real interest appears to be in the marketing of the scenery and pleasures of the Old Head of Kinsale to a small and exclusive set of very wealthy clients. Perhaps this explains why he is so heavy-handed and intransigent in his dealing with the Free the Old Head Campaign.
Yours etc.,

Then count me in! What's the story with metal spikes? Are there local rules in force which mandate the use of plastic ones on golf shoes? Will the fee include the rent of a buggy?
Will the Large Garda be present again?
Domnic Haugh will be there.
I found the info. regarding the legal situation on http://struggle.ws/wsm/cork.html a bit scant though.
According to www.theirishcrimes.com its ongoing in the courts but bogged down (not too sure the date of this piece though):-
"Protests are currently taking place at a rate of about one a month, during the summer season. The court action by An Bord Pleanala is bogged down in the Courts ,but with both parties becoming more entrenched it looks like the Campaign to free the old head of Kinsale may take another few years."
Stumbled across a Cork Indymedia page along the way. Whats the story with that!?
http://homepage.tinet.ie/~indycork/
I don't know what the latest is there... I know there were a bunch of people interested in creating a Cork indymedia (and there were other possible local groups elsewhere), though they were interested in creating something less computer-based than indymedia.ie. The regional categorisation offered by Oscailt may mean people don't need to create their own sites, but I don't know. (The general attitude of the indymedia collective to local groups is that we think they'd be great, but they have to come from below, and they have to decide for themselves what they want to do and how they want to relate to .ie)
I see. Certainly would be a good idea I reckon for Indymedia Worldwide, in the longterm, to have Indymedia's in all cities around the world - indeed anywhere there are computers!
