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.

As one of those who was on today's protest I have to say well done to everyone. Its hard to get anyone at lunchtime on a working day, so credit to all who turned up. People who were there were very supportive of what we did. Brendan Behan's daughter came over to us and held our placards for a few minutes. The man himself (Brendan Behan) must have been spinning in his grave to see Ahern and his ilk trying to capitalise in for a few cheap photo opportunities and stunts. Have to say the Gardai were a bit on the aggressive side. They threatened to arrest us under the Public Order Act if we didn't stop shouting and heckling at Ahern! Since when is shouting a crime?

From todays "Irish Times":
......Mr Behan addressed Mr Aherne directly saying "There is nobody further removed from Behans spirit than yourself"....... and went on to say.........."What has Bertie Aherne got in common with Brendan Behan, other than they are both Irish? When you see what is happening with the fat cats in this country, with Bertie Aherne and his government, I can't think of anyone further from the spirit of Brendan Behan.

Ahern incurs wrath of Paudge Behan
By Olivia Kelly
It was not appropriate for the Taoiseach, Mr Ahern, to officially unveil
a statue of Brendan Behan as there was "nobody further removed" from the
writer's spirit, a member of the Behan family has said.
Mr Paudge Behan, the son of Brendan Behan's widow Beatrice, said his family
did not choose to have Mr Ahern officiate at the unveiling of a statue to
Behan at the Royal Canal, Dublin, yesterday, and he "was not happy" that
the Taoiseach attended.
Speaking at the event, Mr Ahern said that along with other Dubliners he
was proud that Brendan Behan, "hailed from these parts". Referring to the
statue of Patrick Kavanagh at the Grand Canal, on the south side of the
city, he added, "I know I'm slightly biased as a northsider, but I think
it's about time the scales were balanced."
When asked to say a few words after the Taoiseach's address, Mr Behan addressed
Mr Ahern directly saying: "There is nobody further removed from Behan's
spirit than yourself."
Mr Behan later explained that his family had not been consulted about who
would attend the event in an official capacity and he wasn't pleased the
Taoiseach attended.
"What has Bertie Ahern in common with Brendan Behan, other than they are
both Irish? When you see what is happening with the fat cats in this country,
with Bertie Ahern and his Government, I can't think of anyone further from
the spirit of Brendan Behan. Shannon being used as an American air base
for waging war on another country, was that in the spirit of Brendan Behan?"
Mr Behan said he was very pleased with the statue, a life-size bronze sculpted
by John Coll, depicting Behan as a young man seated on a canal bank bench.
"It's a beautiful piece of art, very cleverly designed."
The unveiling of the statue was attended by the Lord Mayor of Dublin, Mr
Royston Brady, the Dublin City Manager, Mr John Fitzgerald, and actor Niall
Tóbín.
I have been told that there is an article in The Sun that carried most of the press release. Will have to steel myself to purchase The Scum. Oh well!
Overall a nice little shower on Bertie's Parade.
