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,

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.

Reclaiming the Beauty of the Spheres Sat Aug 09, 2025 13:00 | Dr David Bell
AI is a distraction from what it means to be truly human, says Dr David Bell. We should aim for far greater things, find again the vastness of the jewelled sky and the light that only shines in another's eye.

Why Are the Irish Media Ignoring an Apparent Islamist Knife Attack? Sat Aug 09, 2025 09:00 | Andrew Devine
When a man in Dublin stabs a police officer while shouting "Allahu Akbar" you can be pretty sure it's not the work of an indigenous Irishman. So why are the media at pains to pretend it is, asks Andrew Devine.

It's on the northside running down near the coast at Fairview. It's pretty big but I don't know the acerage and is famous for its rose garden.
is opposite the main entrance to Bull Island (ie not the bridge) as you go along the Clontarf Rd. The other side of it is in Raheny. It's about 250-300 acres and is IIRC the largest park in Dublin. Lovely place.
gifted to the people of dublin.
along with the records and the stout and the iveagh houses and jobs and lots of other stuff, how many holes does it take to fill the albert hall? being an oblique reference to one of the Beatles songs the "all you need is love bunch", reflecting on the tragic death of one of that family, many of whom but _not all_ have been victims, like any family really.
look ye here:-

remember you will need to install flash.
also another blast from the past:-
definition and symbology of "interdit".
you have mostly been excomunicated and didn't recognise the traditional symbol.
in all faiths to boot.
didn't see that coming did you?
black ribbons on your cathedral doors?
above the altar?
rabbinical scholars on the street?
no you didn't see it, because you had forgotten. and filled your head with fantasy, monsters, ambition, pride and politicians who's names are those of the demons of old.
find an imam and ask him if you don't have a trustworthy parish priest, oh yes you haven't had trustworthy parish priests for a long time have you?
Boo!

we are set free by truth.
you are imprisoned by lies.
our internet is different to yours.
id like to hear your opinions on this please?
This proposed rezoning of St Anne's Park is a massive threat to all green and open spaces.
Basically the City Manager is saying that there are absolutely no industrial sites anywhere in Dublin that could accomodate their planned waste facility.
About 2-3 miles away from the present unlicensed waste facility, is Clonshaugh Industrial estate. There are at least 10 vacant factories there, one of which is the massive Gateway building which has been idle for 3 years.
Why not buy or rent one of those and put the waste facility in a properly zoned industrial area right off the M50/M1. You have the added benefit of having a traffic infastructure in place, rather than bring massive waste traffic volumes into a residential neighbourhood. Renting or buying an already build factory could well be cheaper than building two very substantial waste "factories" in St Anne's Park.
Has the City Manager looked at these options?
If he did the logical thing and went with this option, you wouldn't have to materially contravene the Development Plan, nor then go to An Bord Pleanala to try to get planning permission to industrialise a park that is a designated Conservation Area.
If it goes ahead, then any City or County Manager can do what they like with any green space in a park, or housing estate, or anywhere.
The Minister for the Environment can direct the City Manager to withdraw this proposal, and that's where people need to direct their opposition now. The website below has some sample letters that could be sent.
This has to be one of the daftest ideas to coe out of City Hall for years but I don't share the optimism of some that it is too crazy to happen. The risk is real, and major, and as someone said above, if the City's biggest park can be attacked, all green spaces will be under threat. Actually, in a sense this is a second attack, as I understand rezoning of green spaces in Ballymun has already been done.
St. Anne's, with 270 acres of park, is a jewel and in other cities would not just be preserved but grown and invested-in. Rather than worn paths and damaged signage, it would be a feature for visitors. Perched between two settled areas (Raheny and Clontarf) and readily accessible by bus and DART, it, and the nearby Bull Island, shared by the same areas, this is a "lung" essential to a healthy city. Greedy developers have long had their eyes on the greenery but they must be kept at bay for all our sakes.
The argument of "no alternative space" is daft too. There are empty plots in Bayside/ Kilbarrack, Coolock and Santry, at least. In fact, as the commentator above said, the Coolock area, with M1/ M50 links, would be much better. Clontarf and Raheny are off the beaten track.
Time is tight, so get your objections in (see the link in the comment by Mr. Cummins) and if you're in Dublin, put some pressure on those all-too-presistent election candidates.
The website above and the one at (http://www.fortunecity.co.uk/safaripark/eagles/16/stannes/stan001.htm) are good, the one below gives some information too.
after saying it was probably not going to happen i rememberedthey aleady had palns for it on display in raheny libarary....
that first link don't work
how did your protest go, saw pic in the times
all councillors voted against the proposal on 5th april
a rare event im told....
county manger continues to ignore commensense
To get information on the park, look at the Dublin Corporation website.
http://www.dublincity.ie/parks/details.asp?id=101
some one has to
from the site
"It appears that City Manager John Fitzgerald has already begun building work in Saint Anne's Park on the proposed site for the new waste facility. He claims that it is unrelated and for a different purpose, but he's not fooling anybody."
An Bord Pleanala has given an oral hearing on the rezoning of St Anne's Park. It takes place from Tuesday 26th October at 11 a.m. in the O'Connell Suite of the Royal Dublin Hotel.
Anyone who is concerned about the future preservation of parks and green spaces should try to attend and make their views known.
If you don't, and you suddenly find plans for a sewage treatement works on YOUR football pitch, don't say that you haven't been warned.
