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.

The ?Golden Age of Nuclear? is a Sham Thu Sep 18, 2025 07:00 | Ben Pile
Rejoice! For we are at the dawn of a "golden age of nuclear", according to the UK Government. There's just one wrinkle, says Ben Pile. It's reactors for shiny data centres, but unreliable renewables for the rest of us.

Instead of 4 packets of Walkers!!!!! Surely there'd be some tayto lying around in a silo or somewhere?
Hi Crisp Man !
We actually had three brands of crisps available at the Swim site (all donated by local shops) , including Tayto but, despite what Gary Winston Lineker OBE may have you believe , one of those brands did not prove popular. Whilst you're trying to figure out what brand that is , I'll just have a word with the adults that are reading this.
Hi Adults!
We had a hectic four-hour marathon on the banks of the Grand Canal in Inchicore , Dublin, yesterday (Friday 25th December 2009) with about 200 people to look after!
CABHAIR had ten swimmers at the event , Santa was ambushed and robbed by the Special Branch and blood was spilt (well , dripped , actually!) and we had a raffle for the swimmers (did YOU win one?) .
A report on the proceedings can be read here - http://1169andcounting.blogspot.com/ (post dated Saturday 26th December 2009) , pics from the Swim site can be viewed at the 'Related Link' below and , thanks to Paula , on this 'Indymedia' thread - http://www.indymedia.ie/article/95195?language=en&comme...63769
- and Oxana has some pics posted, too - just type oxan@ flickr into a search engine and click on the first link.
It was a very busy , noisy and successful event , for which the organisers , the crowd of about 200 people and the ten swimmers are to be congratulated - well done to ye all !
Thanks!
Sharon.
Santa rescues some of the Swimmers....
while id like to congratulate all those who took part in this event and affirm support for all republican prisoners Id suggest publishing a picture of someones bare arse was somewhat ill advised and lowers the tone .
Hi Kevin !
Thank you for your message of support for the aims and objectives of the Swim , but regarding the photograph in question , I don't agree with you that it lowers the tone .
It helps to highlight the length that some of the Cabhair swimmers are prepared to take to do their bit on that morning - the frost and freezing fog are clearly visible , yet that man was quite determined that he was going to 'earn' his sponsorship money regardless of those , and any other, obstacles.
The nature of that particular event practically guarantees that 'flesh will be flashed' , but it's not done maliciously or on purpose.
Thanks!
Sharon.
...ever heard of Weils Disease? Very prevalent in canals and rivers, spread by rats and very deadly.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leptospirosis
Hi Tim !
Thanks for the good wishes - much appreciated . And we remember our Fenians everywhere !
Hi Ken !
Yes , the organisers are aware of that disease and how it infects , and do their best to stop it materialising . In the 33 years that this event has been held , we have not had one infection but our defences are never down when it comes to that issue.
Thanks!
Sharon.
