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.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7This is a terrible disgrace.
The school that I teach in, Mercy College Woodford, was promised an extension in 2000 - we currently host 264 students on a campus built for 200. Seven years later, we have been told that we are now on 'Band 2' and nothing will be built until we are on 'Band 1'.
The school that my wife teaches in were told about 30 years ago that they are due to have a sports hall built (at present there is none whatsoever) but it has not materialised - THREE DECADES LATER .
It's hard to believe that the Minister for Education is a former teacher - or perhaps she left the profession because of the state it is in. Either way, it's all to no avail.
Mark.
You say at the start of this article that you will include the letter of the pupils and staff below - but all I see is a letter from Chris Murray, an ex pupil. So is there actually any letter from the pupils and staff or is this just another unclear C Murray posting to Indymedia?
It is one of over 2,000 letters drafted by the school staff and students.
I asked for a copy of it and permission to put it up here.
Crumlin is not an affluent area and the catchment includes pupils from
Harolds X , Dolphins Barn, Drimnagh, City Centre , Walkinstown , Perrystown
and Clondalkin.
It is a state school.
The letter stresses the positive effect it will have on the community.(a decent sports facility)
it is an excellent school.
the staff are de-moralised.
There is a need for community support.
I hope that is not distracting from the issue of the appalling difficulty at the school
or the one hot meal a day that some kids get in the school,
Or the lack of admin block.
or the lack of Sports facilities.
or the lack of canteen.
They also had an: library. Orchestra. Choir. [and all within the State school system].
Sex education programmes. Science and Tech. a high rate of Leaving certs who attended
the universities.
This was during deep recession, we are now the wealthiest Country in Western Europe
and cannot provide facilities to the state school system and the Dept of Education
deliberately underspent on School building programmes last year- go work that
one out....
What do you expect from the political wing of the developers.
They don't give a damn about you, me or any of our kids.
Hanafin is a slick talker with no substance.
How did you vote in the last election?
How will you vote in the next?
If you helped elect any of this govt. then shame on you.
I was always a middle-of-the-road voter but now the unthinkable has happened -
I will be supporting SF before any of the 3 main parties.
FF took up where the british govt. left off. Their first act when in govt. is to betray those
who elected them.
There is a report in the indo today that states the irish writers such as Maeve Binchy, Roddy Doyle
and Cecilia Ahern should be included in the Junior cert curriculum.
Roddy is good.
Teachers unions are criticised for : choosing staples like 'To Kill a Mocking Bird'
(boo is cool, is he not?)
Anyway- C. Ahern is considered 'Challenging'. yep-[ Russian Roulette challenging].
Question?- would inclusion on the junior cert programme increase the wage
packet of the daughter of the Taoiseach????
[Hearts and flowers book covers on the desks of the State's Schools- what is that
book title- about the Rainbow?- Over the rainbow ;-)
I think that the Junior certs are incredibly discriminating about their reading
material with most loving 'the Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime' by
mark haddon.
The campaign to highlight lack of community and school resource in
loreto College continues- and hopefully they won't be subjected to bullying,
afterall it always gets out (as it did in Sandymount over the focus group on
incineration).
Mary Hanafin TD has attacked the Irish Language approach to learning in Primary schools and is
facing mutiny by principals.
[Irish Independent, 15/05/07]
She cut the Traveller Capitiation Grants. [enforced mainstreaming of indigenous communities]
She has underspent on the school building programmes.
There is a scandalous underinvestment in educatonal psychology and hidden figures
regarding adhd/autisim/dsylexia.
Meanwhile our bank machines and newspaper ads are bilingual !
Polish bi-lingual.
It is a cosmetic excercise to Have a cultural and language that is nodding
to the needs of a people whilst investing in the rich through active globalisation.
if the government had spent 1/10 of what Bertie has invested in the republican
graves at Glas Naion (13 million) and on that stupid military parade
and invested it in the future generations of our country and not on a fetished
memorial to our glorious past-would we be in this mess.
The Taoiseach worships Pearse- its a known fact, but allows his deputies
to destroy Ireland through greed and robbery. The next generation has
ts wealth stolen and given back to them in lego boxes.
