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 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12I should point out that the above is cut and paste in its entirety because access to the Sunday Independent requires a log on.
If Maura Harrington is in the public eye and is claiming to be acting in the best interests of the public then surely the public has a right to know about the endorsement she received from Republican Sinn Fein, the alleged concerns of unnamed parents who have questions to ask about whether her involvement in the protest is affecting her role as school principal and also the opinions Dr Mark Garavan spokesperson for Shell to Sea.
... from the Independant?
To claim to know something is to claim to know the truth about something.
The Independant promotes lies?
If you chose to believe those lies it's because you are not vigilant enough even about your 'own 'right to know' and correctly informing your own self.
We understand that smear from 'Oil & Gas newspapers' such as the Independant & Sunday World etc mean nothing, and we refuse to allow their propaganda to misinfom our opinions about our friend Maura Harrington.
Stay strong Maura sweetheart. Beir Bua.
Allowing for the fact that media baron Sir Anthony O'Reilly owns Independent Newspapers, and for his massive financial interests in gas and oil reserves off the coasts of Ireland, it all seems very obvious to me as to why he might like to see people like Maura Harrington rubbished.
Personally, I'm far more impressed by Maura's activities than I am by those of Sir Anthony's and his puppets.
I dont normally enertain idiotic uniformed commentary but this was too good to miss.
"acting violently towards the state"
Oh Im sorry ,can you substantiate that comment in ANY way?I expect,that unlike me,you have not been to Rossport during the protests and thus have not witnessed the many =acts of violence,all perpetrated BY the state.Maybe you didnt see Maura being knocked to the ground for having the audacity to peacefully protest.
"She is violent and undemocratic "
I think you are confusing Maura with the two personalkities below,violence and undemocratic practices are the lynchpins of their appraoach to thsi issue.
Now go and troll elsewhere.
Violence
democracy?
I will have to scan in the hilarious Provo bogey man cartoon in the SIndo althought I think some might have already thrown it out or used it wipe their arse one or the other.
Declan Lynch using his impressive investigative skills to go back to 2005 for find his info on SF orchestration of the Rossport 5 campaign.
http://www.unison.ie/irish_independent/stories.php3?ca=...14910
here's were he dug up the info from
http://www.corribsos.com/index.php?id=14&event=1
If someone can remember the Rossport 5 were still in jail at the time and widest range of people were disgusted and conerned by Shells and Courts actions at the time. Listing Shell stations doens't exactly mean you dominated that campaign. It was a Sinn Fein Day of action, afterall what did he expect?
Look here some of them are, Boo scarey http://www.indymedia.ie/article/70753
It is a strange article it could be written by shelltosea supporter describing the corporates tactics in reagrd to the campaign
So if we see anything than looks or sounds like the North, or even gives the slightest impression that it is influenced by events which took place in the North at any time over the last 100 years or thereabouts, we are not interested. We do not want to know.
“We remind Shell and their Irish Government partner that imprisonments have historically and will always fail as a method to secure the agreement of the Irish people.”... At this point too, the cause was lost.
no sorry at this point the men were freed...
Here a Jim Colgan cartoon that accompanied a Declan Lynch article where he 'analyses' the association of SF, the cartoon and the papers editorial line unfortunalety are no joke.
A Joke or the Indo's Editorial line or both
Know what I mean ?
Sir Anthony is laughing ...
I wonder why ?
So who is pulling whose strings here ?
Who are the real puppetmasters ?
I come from Erris and now live in the United States. I had to leave Erris to make a living. Maura Harrington on the other hand has lived a life of privledge not available to many of us forced to leave to find work an live outside of our beloved Ireland. I follow this story with interest and it seems clear to me that this protest is being led by idealists like Maura who do not undersand what it is like to have no job and be forced to leave. With respect to Maura she has been controversial all her life and its hard to take her seriously. When I saw her name associated with this campaign it immediately lost any credibility it might have had for me. I see this as an opportunity for the people of Erris and if they worked with Shell not against them it could be a real win win all round. I mean her no disrespect but if I were the parents of Inver school I would have serious issues wiht such a role model for my children.
Maura Harrington supports the Shell to Sea campaign, not vice versa.
Anyone who think s that the paltry few jobs on the onshore refinery site will compensate for the huge losses to the tourist industry is crazy. As an example, there used to be divers who came to Pollotomish to scuba dive in the bay . It was a small but growing trade, with people coming from different parts of England and continental Europe. Then the work started and they stopped coming.
Is that Maura Harrington's fault?
Maybe you could find another fenceline community somewhere in the world that has a good relationship with Shell, or a good word to tsay about them...
