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.

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.

Why Are the Irish Media Ignoring an Apparent Islamist Knife Attack? Sat Aug 09, 2025 09:00 | Andrew Devine
When a man in Dublin stabs a police officer while shouting "Allahu Akbar" you can be pretty sure it's not the work of an indigenous Irishman. So why are the media at pains to pretend it is, asks Andrew Devine.

50 Primary Principals speak out against Independent Newspapers’ “Building for the Future” promotion.

press release
 Thursday January 14, 2010 09:25 by Mark C - Campaign for Commercial-Free Education fogarty.joseph at gmail dot com 086 3220688
“We the undersigned 50 Primary school principals condemn and refuse to partake in the Irish Independent’s “Building for the Future” scheme being launched this week.
We abhor the quota of 20 tokens per pupil from Independent Newspapers required of all schools wishing to submit a project for this sponsored competition.
Independent Newspapers while posturing as benefactors are, in reality, seeking to exploit schools, boost sales and make life uncomfortable for children whose parents do not buy the sponsors newspapers.
Further Information: Joseph Fogarty, (Contact Details Above) or your nearest participating school below. The same Independent Newspapers who have railed ceaselessly about the apparent brevity of our school year now demand that principals spend our days collecting quotas of tokens, pressurising children, pestering parents and wasting teaching time.
Each single stream school that enters (8 classes X 27 children X 20 tokens X €1.80 per copy) must give the teacher-bashing Independent Newspapers €7,776 in sales plus thousands more in free advertising and promotion within the school and wider community.
Our stance is supported by the Irish Primary Principals Network and INTO whose executives have recommended that schools should be free from commercial presentations aimed at children and their families, including token redemptions schemes such as Building for the Future.
Having suffered months of insult and contempt from the pages of Independent Newspapers, we refuse to act as salespeople and urge other schools to boycott this commercially-driven promotion. We are content to use newspapers generally as aids to literacy development and teaching tools within the classroom.”
