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.

Great article.
Its inspiring stuff knowing that all of this is going in in and around the city we live in.
I'd like to be more involved in community gardening -when is the best time for me to come to the SCR site to learn and share?
Hi Thanks for your comment. We are in the Garden on Saturdays from 1pm till about 4.30. You can see a map on our blog (www.southcirculargarden.blogspot.com)
Look forward to meeting you
As a gardener who lives just across the SCR Community Garden I am a great supporter of the initiative.
I have seen that:
- it is a space that nurtures community spirits as much as it provides food for the gardeners.
- it allows to keep the area save and purposeful.
I live just across the road from the garden. It is great to pass by every day and look at the life growing there especially being aware that I have contributed to it. It is a gift from everybody for everybody. Anytime I walk in, regardless of the time I have managed to dedicate to the project, the guys readily offer me something: a bunch of herbs or a bag of seasonal vegetables.
It is great to know that in the heart of the city I can still walk out of my tiny home and enjoy gardening in spacious and welcoming grounds.
But even more than just the gardening in its own right, the garden is a playground for grow ups! It allows people from different walks of life to contribute by expressing themselves through their work. So far the garden has propelled several community projects, there were video and radio footage of the work here and it has been greatly supported by the Irish Food Board.
Now I am grabbing the hand of my toddler, putting the baby in her pram and I am on my way to visit the garden and pick a couple of organically grown peppers for my children's lunch from the garden across the road. Free, healthy and fresh food for my babies and the chance for them to roam in great open space. There are things that are beyond money and the change of times (recession or otherwise) and it is a great relief to have a daily reminder of that in front of my eyes.

Lovely video, lovely work. Keep at it everybody. Hope your example inspires ventures in several other towns and cities.
Just came across a very interesting project in Brooklyn, NYC. BK FARMYARDS - which came about as a finalist in the 2009 Buckminster Fuller Challenge (bucky was a design genius who, amongst other things, developed the geodesic dome - they even found his structure in the atomic world and called a newly found molecule a buckminsterfullerine) .

see their final boards and written idea at http://challenge.bfi.org/application_summary/475
They have been largely inspired by the Cuban experience and from their site there is a link to another interesting project / collective: Not So Vacant Lots- http://brooklynbased.net/everything/not-so-vacant-lots/
