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.
Dr. Tom Potokar, a plastic surgeon specializing in burn injuries, has worked in Gaza 16 times but said this mission had revealed a level of destruction far greater than his last visit in 2023,
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.

Have the INTO backed this protest? I've heard nothing of this- great if they were?
A motion will go before INTO meetings in the next couple of days looking for support for a protest at the Dail on Budget Day. I expect that it will be agreed and that there will be a sizeable INTO representation there, as people are very annoyed about the attempts to foist a pay cut on us in the guise of 'unpaid leave'.
The CPSU is having a protest at the Dail on budget day at lunchtime and is calling on other public sector workers to join them. How can the INTO have a protest at the Dail on budget day when the schools will be open and the teachers will be working?
Probably by protesting after work rather than during their lunch hour?
The SSN put out the call for 5-7 because we recognised that is when number can be maximised (well short of a spontaneous general strike which would seem unlikely). I guess quite large numbers of INTO teachers could get there by 4pm and as the original statement points out there will probably be protests from a number of organisations called throughout the day. So whatever groups should simply call demonstrations for whatever times they can get people there at, we'll all be on the streets together once we are down there and we are pretty much all fighting against the same thing.

Press Statement issued by Social Solidarity Network
Budget Day: “Show You’re Angry. Make Lots of Noise”
Campaigning Group Social Solidarity Network (SSN) has called on people to come to the Dáil on Budget Day this Wednesday at 5:00p.m. to show their anger at “government attacks on ordinary working people and the poor across Ireland.”
“This budget will be a disaster for ordinary people,” said SSN spokesperson Mark Malone. “The government has made it clear that they are going to make ordinary people pay the cost of the financial crisis.”
“We can expect huge attacks on the living standards of ordinary people in this budget,” Malone continued. “While those who benefited from the Celtic Tiger get away scot free, the rest of us are being asked to pick up the pieces. But the rich must be made to pay for the crisis they created. So we’re asking people to rally under two slogans - "Reverse the Cuts Make the Rich Pay" and "Tax the Greedy Not the Needy".
“We’re also asking people to come prepared to make lots of noise. It’s time that we let the government know the level of anger that there is in the country. So people should come and join our protest in huge numbers and show our anger outside the Dáil as the politicians waffle inside.” Mr. Malone concluded.
The SSN protest is just one of a large number of protests planned for the Dáil on Budget Day.
The Social Solidarity Network is a grouping of people who have come together to provide a forum for workers and communities to unite to resist the attacks and to build links across the many struggles which will break out over the coming months.
Statement concludes
I do not know what most people may think, but will this goverment just step down, they already got a mandate from the people to go at the local elections.
So the question is will go willingly or do they have to be removed by force, the way they are running the country is no longer, democratic, but a dictatorship, for their high wages, which they do not deserve and their pensions.
When will we all stand and tell these criminals to get out of office.
You'll get your chance at the next election. Thats the way democracy works. You elect people to do the job for a few years; if they mess it up, you can vote them out next time and pick someone else to give it a shot.
