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.

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.

Successful Shell To Sea Picket On The Finglas Road (29/03/08)

category dublin | anti-capitalism | news report author Saturday March 29, 2008 14:45author by Nikita - CYM Report this post to the editors

This afternoon, activists gathered at the Shell station on the Finglas road for a picket called by the Connolly Youth Movement. Comrades from many different political backgrounds joined us in our support of the Rossport people and opposition to the dangerous pipeline being built in Mayo without the consent of the local community.
Shell To Sea!
Shell To Sea!

The picket started around 12pm and lasted for an hour and a half until 1.30pm. Around 20 activists attended the action in good spirits and hundreds of leaflets were distributed to the local community who were very supportive of the cause. Buses, taxis and passing cars all tooted their horns in solidarity as well.

During the picket, we managed to block both entrances to the station meaning it was virtually deserted for the duration of the action, much to the annoyance of the Shell manager. As usual the police turned up rather late but in quite large numbers, thankfully however, this time the special branch wern't around to harass the activists.

At the end of the picket, the weather was declining but we all headed off into town anyway to go support the march for a decent health service. The picket will continue again next month on the Finglas Road as we continue to put pressure on Shell to go offshore and respect the rights of the local community.

The Struggle Continues!

In what an anarchist might describe as the biggest and most exciting monthly event on the left in Ireland, some people gathered at the petrol station in Glasnevin to raise awareness of the situation in Mayo.

Currently, Shell have still not named a route for the production pipeline to pump gas from the wellhead to the refinery at Bellanaboy, but it seems likely that they intend to install it at the bottom of Sruth Fada Conn, the estuary between Rossport and Pollatomais.

This week Shell received permission from the government to drill boreholes in the beach there, even though this is a protected habitat and a Special Area of Conservation. The Minister for the Environment has not commented on this.

Thanks to all the people who stopped and chatted today, and bought their petrol somewhere else.

well done lads, a tough day for it given the weather early on. I would've loved to be out there meself but it just wasnt possible this time. Keep up the good work

The Irish government cannot provide a health service without insane levels of bureaucracy and waste.
What leads you to believe that the Irish government has any competancy whatsover in drilling, refining and distributing gas?
Aer Lingus was leaking money like a sieve for many years and had to bailed out by the government to keep operating.
If the Irish government were operating a gas field they would be running it at a loss.
Your faith in nationalisation is not supported by the example of state management worldwide which is a byword for inefficiency, financial waste and bureaucratic insanity.

the kinsale gas cept my parents home work for about 20 yrs now. Irish people all well able to take advantage of the gas of the west coast

author by Tadhgpublication date Mon Mar 31, 2008 15:04author address author phone Report this post to the editors

Many people would agree that Kinsale is a model for the way to manage natural resources. The Corrib project is completely different from Kinsale however. Check out mayogasinfo.com for details on the Corrib scheme.

On nationalisation, even if Bord Gais, which seems like a fairly efficient company to me, took a fifty per cent stake in the profits from Corrib and lost 49 per cent at the races, WE'D STILL BE DOING BETTER.

The current deal provides no stake for the people of Ireland from their own resources. Not a cent of the gas will belong to us. Even the United States, home of capitalism, takes a royalty payment on oil and gas found in its waters. But not us.

So a deal which gave us even one per cent would be better than what we've got now.
