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.

Labour Must Halt its War on Pubs Tue Sep 09, 2025 19:30 | Will Jones
One pub is closing every day. And Labour's 'banter ban' ? Clause 20 of the Employment Rights Bill ? is only going to make it worse as pubs are left with the escalating bills to cover their legal costs.

The African Countries Demanding Reparations Are Astonishingly Hypocritical Tue Sep 09, 2025 15:46 | Will Jones
The African Union's demand for colonial reparations is an act of cynical opportunism that ignores that slavery was already endemic in Africa, and African kingdoms resisted abolition even as the British forced it on them.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6Just read your story and i am appauled at the very thought of Tesco being so closely involved in
what has to be viewed as blatent cruelty to greyhounds ..Its a National Disgrace , end of .
I have sent in an e-mail to Tesco Ireland ( customer service ) in relation to your story , i have
also received a reply , same oul ' we'll get back to you ' , please keep sending e-mails to Tesco.
After sending my concerns via email I received the following response.
Thank you for contacting us. I am very sorry that you are unhappy with
our decision to include greyhound racing in our Clubcard Deals scheme.
Clubcard Deals is our way of thanking customers for shopping at Tesco.
We reward Clubcard holders with a variety of deals, from money-saving
vouchers and airmiles, to magazine subscriptions and days out. Greyhound
racing is a popular activity in Ireland and this particular deal is just
one of a wide range of options that customers can choose from, so that
they can pick the one which is right for them.
I sincerely apologise for any distress that this may have caused you.
Please let me assure you we have passed on your concerns to the Irish
Greyhound Board.
Kind regards
Samantha Kaylan
Customer Relations Manager

It seems that Tesco are not going to consider removing the offer anytime soon.
Hi I got exactly the same but surely if enough complaints go in they might take it seriously .
Looking at other forums, many have had the exact same response so Tesco clearly have had enough complaints to warrant a standard email response. Let's keep them rolling in, have faith, we can make a difference!!
I have just sent an email to Tesco. I also noticed that Cork Groupon (www.citydeal.ie) has an advertisement up for a discount on tickets and food at Curaheen Park. I linked this page plus several others on their Facebook fan page and told them why I would no longer be following their site, nor would I allow their advertisements to appear on the websites I administer.
I think starting a petition on a site like Change.org could be very useful for getting the attention of both Tesco and Citideal.ie (perhaps 2 separate petitions). As a relatively recent resident of Ireland, however, I think someone with more knowledge of the politics and business scene would be better equipped to set this up. It looks fairly simple, I just don't know to whom the complaints would most effectively be addressed.
Will you take a look and set one up? I will happily sign and get my friends and family to do likewise.

Thank you.
Cordially,
