The Faux-Radicalism of Kneecap Wed Apr 30, 2025 19:00 | Andrew Doyle
Kneecap's vocal support for Hamas and call for fans to murder Tory MPs is obviously reprehensible. But it's just for show, says Andrew Doyle. The police shouldn't waste their time investigating rappers.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4The Irish government claims that the favourable terms are worth it to ensure
Ireland’s energy security
This is a common theme spouted by government mouthpieces, and spin doctors, and parrotted by hack sand lazy minded fools.
The argument being that the government cannot be in the business of using taxpayers' money to go drilling holes all over the place looking for gas and oil.
And we don't have to look abroad to see how it is done properly.
We have a prime example of how it should have been done off the coast of Clare... albeit, by the wrong cast of characters.
Providence Resources, (40% owned by 'sir' Tony O'Reilly) didn't spend it's own money drilling holes in the Porcupine Basin. They struck a deal with an exploration company called Chrysaor, which saw Chrysaor get a minority stake in any field that they found, in return for Chrsaor doing all the expensive drilling.
There was NO reason why the Irish state could not have come up with a similar plan (we're supposed to be paying these TD's 100k p.a. for their leadership and expertise right?)
One hears very little of this deal in the Indo, Evening Herald or Belfast Telegraph, (all part of the O'Reilly media empire) ... the same newspapers who publish claims of IRA infiltration of the Shell to Sea campaign, but can't back it up with photographs or names of these phantom IRA agitators, despite the huge garda presence and the ease of photographing people coming and going in an isolated part of Mayo.
I wonder how much 'evidence' we will here from Paul Williams on TV3 tonight, or if he will mention what deal went down for the Porcupine Basin.
