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.

Despite three record years of coral growth, the mainstream media keeps pushing doom and gloom on the Great Barrier Reef ? a story that doesn't quite add up, says the Daily Sceptic's Environment Editor.

Implications for democracy and rights
We are running a seminar on the “Strategic Infrastructure Bill”, its effect on our democratic rights and how best to coordinate a strong response.
Many feel it is a further erosion of our rights. To explore this further we cordially invite you to the seminar. The Strategic Infrastructure Bill
A citizen’s alliance to understand the Bill’s implications
and co-ordinate a national public response
Date: Sunday March 12th
Time: 2.45pm – 5.45pmVenue:
Taylor’s Hall, Back Lane, Dublin 8
Why we are issuing this invitation
We invite you to a working meeting to explore how to respond meaningfully to the Strategic Infrastructure Bill, which proposes to radically reform the current planning system. It will be brought before the Dáil shortly, and the Minister hopes to enact it in law by the summer.
The Bill is intended to fast-track decision-making on projects that are considered to be of ‘strategic’ importance and if it is passed, it will limit public participation in the planning process for the most controversial projects.
We believe there is a need for real concern about its consequences. There are many groups currently challenging projects considered to be ‘strategic’. These groups are already significantly disadvantaged by the current system. If passed, the Bill will restrict public engagement even further.
Format and Purpose
This meeting will go beyond information and education. If people believe this is important, it is intended to co-ordinate a move to action on this Bill.
We have invited a number of experts (legal, planning, EU law, etc) to give their opinion on the Bill from their perspective, and we will share these opinions in brief. Then time will be spent by the participants discussing its implications, considering if a national citizen’s response is needed, and if so what that might be and how we might co-ordinate it.
Stronger Together
Throughout Ireland, people are discovering how difficult it is to challenge planning decisions. These decisions are often discovered relatively late in the day. And those who try to challenge or modify them often find themselves without the know-how, information, or experience that could make their efforts more fruitful. There is an important gap in citizen’s capacity that needs to be filled if we are to be more effective.
A number of us, representing different groups throughout Ireland, have been engaged in an exploratory conversation, considering how we might co-ordinate a more powerful and effective citizen’s voice in relation to these matters. We intend to bring our proposals to others, when these are more fully formed.
However, the timing of this Bill is an opportunity to widen the conversation to include groups from all over Ireland who recognise, as we do, the potential to become stronger together.
This Bill joins us together in common cause. If passed, it will render each one of our challenges meaningless. However, if we come together to understand it, respond to it, and shape it, we have the possibility to become more strategic in our efforts to influence development in our country. Please join us on Sunday March 12th. And please pass this invitation to other groups you are aware of who will benefit from this alliance and forward their email to us so we can begin a register of groups engaged in trying to shape the decisions that affect them.
