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.

Jump To Comment: 5 4 3 2 1Community and political groups today criticised the continuing use of Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) to fund the building of civic and residential developments. Speaking at a protest held alongside the opening of the €300m Criminal Courthouse in Dublin’s Parkgate Street, Eddie Conlon of the People Before Profit alliance dismissed the use of PPPs as “part of a neo-liberal agenda”. Conlon contrasted the new courthouse development with conditions in nearby residential areas.

protesters gather outside new courts building
Keeping a judicial boot on the neck of the working man is far more important to the government and its corporate vulture capitalist friends than providing housing or services for him. The working man's tax money is not to be spent helping him out but putting in place the machinery to oppress him. That's the whole beauty of our system, don't you see? The serf pays the cost for his own oppression.
Lock Up Corrupt Developers- Kick Out Their Fianna Fail Backers
On January 16th, the Government officially opens the doors of its latest Public Private Partnership venture – the new Criminal Courts of Justice on Parkgate Street. Multinational Babcock and Brown, the private partner, will not only get money for building the facility but will also continue for 25 years to receive a monthly fee for managing the building. This will bring the project total closer to €300 million, a far cry from the original estimate of €120 million.
The message is clear to the people of nearby O’Devaney Gardens: they will not get new housing. While the Fianna Fail / Green Party coalition government is willing to spend millions on a courts complex, it won’t spend anything on decent housing for ordinary people.
Remind our welfare-cutting Government that we haven’t gone away.
Join our picket: 2 pm, Saturday, 16th January
at the Criminal Courts of Justice on Parkgate Street.
Last year, multimillionaire developer and former Fianna Fail councillor Bernard McNamara pulled out of a PPP deal with Dublin City Council. McNamara and other private developers have left the O’Devaney residents – and those in the St Michael’s Estate, Dominic Street and Croke Villas communities – high and dry because, as McNamara said, the housing downturn and the economic slump had “rendered these projects unviable” Basically, they wouldn’t make enough profit. In-built into these PPP schemes, approved by Dublin City Council, was an excessive amount of apartments for sale. When the housing market collapsed, the developers pulled out. (In Fatima Mansions, the present day jewel in the Council’s crown, many private apartments lie vacant).
This is the problem with PPPs: when the private partner is afraid they won’t make enough money, they can just pull out with minimal consequences. And PPPs are actually dearer than the direct public route – the Comptroller and Auditor General found schools provided in this way cost up to 13 per cent more than the traditional route.
The government has no problem finding money to lock us up. But when it comes to adequate accommodation, it doesn’t want to know.
People Before Profit says
• No to PPPs that line developers’ pockets but leave families living in substandard housing.
• Yes to immediate state-funded immediate regeneration of inner city communities: to build new housing and provide jobs for local people.
• No to NAMA – the bail-out for developers and bankers
• No to the €4 billion cuts in public spending that penalise working people.
