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.

Jump To Comment: 1 2I believe that it is intolerable that three people who are members of a free independent and sovereign state have been arrested for exercising their right to protest against what they believe to be an injustice.

Five jailed over protests against Corrib gas pipeline
From:ireland.com Wednesday, 29th June, 2005
Five men from Co Mayo have been jailed for breaching court orders stopping them protesting against a proposed Shell pipeline going through their land.
The five - four landowners and a supporter living in the area - had been served with notices of the proceedings, after Shell was granted a temporary injunction last week preventing named protesters from obstructing access to its compound at Rossport, Co Mayo.
Philip McGrath, Willie Corduff, Vincent McGrath, James Brendan Philbin and Michael O'Seighin were taken to the Bridewell Garda Station after today's High Court decision by Mr Justice MacMenamin
A number of other local persons are also facing imprisonment when proceedings alleging breach of the same order, granted on April 4th last, come before the court on Friday.
The protesters say Shell does not have ministerial permission to carry out the works, that an independent safety assessment has not been carried out and that the pipeline would present a safety threat.
In a statement this afternoon, Shell said the jailing was "most regrettable" but that the men had "continually obstructed Shell E&P Ireland (SEPIL) from carrying out preparatory work on the Corrib onshore pipeline at Rossport, Co Mayo".
"While today’s developments are most unfortunate, SEPIL has undertaken numerous efforts to meet with and reach agreement with this small number of landowners for access arrangements, however, the landowners in question have been unwilling to meet with us."
The group has already tried unsuccessful legal action to halt the Corrib gas pipeline route, which comes within 70 metres of residences.
However, the government has come under immediate pressure from the opposition to address the situation.
Labour Spokesperson on Energy Deputy, Mr Tommy Broughan, today described the outcome as a "disturbing development that must be brought to an end as quickly as possible for the sake of these five men and their families."
"Minister (for Communications, Marine And Natural Resources) Noel Dempsey must now intervene and seek agreement on the appointment of an independent and mutually respected arbitrator who can resolve this dispute to the satisfaction of all parties and avoid any similar scenarios where protestors are imprisoned as witnessed today."
Green Party Energy spokesperson, Mr Eamon Ryan, said: "These local people have simply been asking the Minister and Shell to show for certain that a high pressured gas pipeline through their lands is actually safe.
"Rather than pursuing the legal course, which has resulted in the imprisonment of these people, we are asking Shell and the Government to do whatever they can to provide for their immediate release and to respond to the valid concerns that the residents have raised."
"In two years of investigating this development I have yet to see reassurance that such a high pressured pipeline for untreated gas will not be endangered by bog movement in the area," concluded Mr Ryan.
