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,
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.

yea but who was you one with the flamethrower?
I'm horrified to see the fire is lit directly on the ground - sacred site how are you but of course these new age "druid" types know it all don't they. The reports on the message boards about Tara that night are horrific. Get those hippies off the Hill - they are just attracting the wrong type and creating havoc.
theirs always one, well the next time you use loo roll think about your comments on sacred ground and fires , ohh ill even tempt you to dare see a sacred fire? mmmm well on holy land the sacred fire was on the ground, holy ones didnt have a mining industry to bring iron hearths, have a lovely day mr carbonfootprint begrudging moaner do good instead if not go to tara with some sizzors and give it a trim tara is love and love is learning
The fire was lit directly on the ground -in a gravel pit that was established years ago and where many fires have been lit in previous years.

Hi all,
Thank you to those who took such lovely photos to share with us :)
Thank you to all who attended and gave their support and those who helped in any way. It was a wonderful two nights despite the best efforts of a yob group to destroy things on Wednesday. Luckily the rain kept them at bay on the Saturday and a truly Fabulous night of food and entertainment was enjoyed by all. Pipers, drummers, guitar players, poets , storytellers and other entertainers put on a fabulous show , the highlight for me being the Harp playing by Laoise Kelly.
On Wednesday, the first fire to be lit was at Tlachtga, Hill of Ward in Athboy. This event has been running there successfuly for several years now and this year, flames were taken from it to light the Beacon at Tara. At Tara their arrival was greeted by a Warrior Escort blowing horns to call the people to the Fire. Once gathered, the fire was lit following a short speech explaining the Historical, Cultural and Spiritual significance of the event . This was greeted with warm appreciation, great applause and great pride knowing that we were all standing together for Tara and linked to so many more across the country and around the world.
People were asked to add wood to the fire along with their wishes. We stayed chanting and singing with musicians until it was time for the 7 teams to come forward and light their candles from the flames which were growing ever higher , before setting out on their Sacred Pilgrimage to the 7 hills around Tara herself. The drumming and chanting continued around the fire as the teams set out on their mission.
Before long all 7 had signaled that their Beacons were lit and we watched them twinkling back at Tara. It truly was momentous. Beyond that, I have no words to explain how that felt. Amazing!
Blessings,
Carmel
Well done
