Fianna Fail denies free competition in the soul industry. Are Fianna Fail entitled to prevent the free flow of religious opinion and the recruitment of new followers by different christian factions ?If the trade unions are now in charge of Leinster House,the Bishops are hard on their heels! Bertie Ahearn,s interference with the evangelical endeavours of rival christian groups via media advertising,for the wayward souls of our misbegotten citizens,is truly hilarious.Now that the current regime of soul savers(headquartered in Rome) is almost defunct (except in the heartlands of Fianna Fail,s backwoods) I view it as hilarious that he is assisting them to preserve their monopoly! Mary Harney... where are you!! |

Indymedia readers;
It is emerging from reports in various newspapers that the incidence of illegal disposal of bags of garbage in beauty spots around the country is on the increase.The back yard burning of waste is also on the increase in areas where charges are levied on the quantity involved.We have witnessed also,in recent weeks a deluge of applications in many counties and beauty spots(Kerry etc) for “one off house”applications,-before the notorious housing” levy “ deadline approaches. Is Fianna Fails legacy of corrupt practices to include a scattering of rubbish on every corner and field in rural Ireland…and a” one off” holiday habitation on every hilltop?
John McDermott,Ashtown,Dublin
a good man to stand up for the rights of our citizens:
Sunday Business Post 2000
"Three taxi plate holders have agreed tax settlements totalling almost £150,000 for undeclared income and Vat, following an investigation by the Revenue Commissioners.
The single largest settlement for £108,684, including interest and penalties, was by John McDermott of 56 Martin Savage Park, Ashtown, Dublin. His occupation is listed in Iris Oifigiuil as "taxi/landlord".
Seeing as we have been subsidising your taxes for years, I feel your right to rant and rave about the state of our politicians is somewhat lessened however true your comments might be
