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.

Updates on Student anti-fees protest this afternoon (Wed 22nd Oct).
I left the protest just as it was about to begin - there were approx. 3,000 protestors gathered at the Garden of Remembrance and hundreds more (including OAPs) streaming up O'Connell Street to meet them. Plenty of buzz, noise and colours, and, it must be said, a general feeling of resentment towards Bat O'Keefe & crew.....
Updates to follow.
RTE Aertel are reporting up to 10,000 at the protest outside Leinster House and it says about 80 gardai are guarding the main gates of Leinster House on Kildare Street.
Activists from many countries around the world are staging simultaneous protests against the commercialism of education (including the paying of fees for third level education) on Nov. 5th.
I think the WSM might be holding an event in Ireland to mark it; certainly FEE (Free Education for Everyone - UCD) have mentioned that they will try to hold an event.
I would be great if other groups did likewise.
A brief update, from an email I received yesterday, on what is happening today and tomorrow and the next day:
* On Oct.22nd (Wednesday) students in Ottawa will go to the Premier's office with a petition against top-up fees containing 20,000 signatures. The group is keen to receive greetings of solidarity via phone (11.15am local time). A few hundred students are expexted. So far they will receive a call from Germany. If any other groups are willing and able to do so, then please contact Iain: iain-b@hotmail.com --- The Canadians are also willing to call you back, if you give them a ring on Oct.22nd. Since that will be cheaper. Will Canada call Greece?
Maybe just one or two more calls would be great. The majority of "live solidarity greetings" will take place on Nov.5th itself.
* Strikes (also by students) are planned on Oct.23rd in Colombia. Anybody willing to deliver greetings of solidarity on that day? Colombia will receive one call from Germany. Anybody else willing and able to call? And ask them to join activists around the world on Nov.5th as part of the call? Calls are welcome from 9am (local time) onwards.
* Kentucky (U.S. of A.) is looking for groups to call them (via Skype or phone) on Nov.5th to deliver "live greetings of solidarity". Protests in Kentucky will probably be between 11.45am and 1.30pm Please contact Lisa for details: greenlady81@yahoo.com
* You are all asked to put a local event notice on your local indymedia site. See: indymedia.org (scroll down and on the left sidebar search for your local indymedia) --- Activists in Germany are planning to write a feature on Indymedia Germany on Nov.5th.

For more on the call to action on Nov. 5th see:

and
http://www.emancipating-education-for-all.org
Indymedia.ie will also have a feature especially written for the day.
Absolutely brilliant turnout
Really great to see so many young people making their voices heard!!
I see in one of the pictures there are five lads with black body paint spelling out NO FEE. What happened to the S? Was there someone wandering around alone with just an S on his chest, looking for his mates and trying to explain to people what he was up to?
