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.

Starmer?s Palestinian Pledge Exposes the West?s Moral Collapse Thu Jul 31, 2025 15:05 | Laura Perrins
The fact that either Britain or France would recognise a Palestinian state while Hamas still holds hostages sums up the moral rot at the heart of Europe, says Laura Perrins.

An eight-minute video , from the Swim site in Inchicore , Dublin , in which one of the Swim organisers , John Horan , gives a brief history of this Annual CABHAIR event, can be viewed at the ' Related Link' , below.
All is going well with the organising of this event , and we're told that, once again, Santa will be paying us a visit on the day!
Thanks!
Sharon.
Warming-up for their next dip.....
I always admire people who do an outdoor splash on Christmas Day, for whatever charity. I am sure their friends turn out with blankets, dressing gowns and essential medicinals such as brandy and whiskey for the hardy boys and girls. One thing has puzzled me about canal dips - has anybody ever scientifically tested samples of Dublin canal water for pollutant substances, and has anybody taken a thermometer reading of the water temperature on the day? Whether or not you answer, have a good splash and celebration afterwards folks. Nollaig shona agus athbhliain faoi mhaise diobh go leir.
Hi Harvey !
Warm clothes and equally warm drinks are the order of the day after each swimmer has earned his/her sponsorship money , as they try and warm-up at the fire!
We have never tested the water temperature on the morning of the swim , and it wouldn't make any real difference anyway - an outdoor swim anywhere in Dublin in December is bound to be uncomfortable , to put it mildly .
However , the organisers of the Swim will not allow any of the potential swimmers to take to the water if they have a fresh cut (ie from shaving that morning) as water-born diseases can enter the body that way.
Thanks for your comment ,
Nollaig Shona dár léitheoirí go léir !

we're looking forward to this gig but it sure doesnt seem like a year since we were there the last time
we'll have a hot whiskey or two and promise again to think about actually swimming next year ;-)
see ye then
Hi Larry !
We'll keep the usual place by the 'bar' for you and the lads , and Santa will keep the kiddies busy for the hour or so , as always !
I'm told that there are six confirmed swimmers (so far) , each of them heavily sponsored to do the business. If any of them hesitate at the waters edge , I'll give ye a shout ;-) !
Thanks!
Sharon.
Please help the children of irish political prisoners this christmas
Please consider forwarding on to all on your email list and repost anywhere appropriate THANK YOU
This is a rough time of year in Ireland for the children of Irish political prisoners, all of whom have been jailed thru non-jury courts. In most cases the primary breadwinner has been taken out of the household. Ten or Twenty dollars can make a difference. Those who donate a $100 will be given a home made ornament as a thank you. More information at www.irishfreedom.net
The Annual CABHAIR Christmas Swim will be held this year on Christmas morning at the Grand Canal in Inchicore, Dublin. This year marks the 33 Anniversary of this event. Over the last few years, here in the U.S. we have growing support and sponsorship for those who take the chilly morning plunge in support of the prisoners’ families.
With the holiday season fast approaching, many families will benefit from your donation of any amount in support of the Annual CABHAIR Swim. Your contribution means something truly special to them, especially in days such as these. If you have been meaning to contribute all year, this is the time to do so. Your support will raise the spirits of a family - who have sacrificed themselves to raise the spirit of a Sovereign Irish Nation.

its going to be a very cold one this year for the lads who do this! impressed that ye have kept this running for over 30 years, that takes dedication.
Hi Peadar !
I think it's safe to say that we have had worse - twice , that I know of over the 32-year history of this swim , a thin layer of ice covered the water and had to be broken with sticks!
We're told that Christmas Day will start dry , frosty and bright , with rain/sleet showers developing in the late afternoon. The temperature is due to be between 3-6°C , which is an improvement (!) on the -6°C that we have been experiencing this past week.
And 'Thank You' for the "dedication" comment - I know that there is a determination within the CABHAIR organisation and its supporters to keep this event going for another three decades , and longer , if need be.
Thanks again ,
Sharon.
"Lemme OUT !"
Hi !
Republican prisoners in Portlaoise Jail have made and signed a bodhran and a framed etched mirror , which they have asked CABHAIR to raffle at the Swim site , between the swimmers. One or other of those items might have to be used beforehand to break the ice ;-) !
All the arrangments and preparations for this fund-raiser have been made and double-checked , and all we need now is good weather.
Anything above freezing point will do...
Thanks!
Sharon.
Uploaded few photos from this year Christmas swim. Enjoy!
