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.

No Wild Circus Animals In Fingal…motion Unanimously Passed

category dublin | animal rights | press release author Tuesday October 09, 2007 21:00author by Ciaran Long - Alliance For Animal Rightsauthor email pagan_animal_liberation_front at hotmail dot com Report this post to the editors

‘circuses which use wild animals are prohibited from performing in any part of the local authority area’

The Alliance for Animal Rights and Circuswatch Ireland welcomes last night’s landmark decision by Fingal County Council. This decision instigated by Socialist Party’s Cllr Clare Daly is the first of its kind in this country. It will mean that ‘wild’ animals will not be allowed perform in Circuses in the Fingal area.We congratulate all of the Council for making the unanimous compassionate decision which is the first of its kind in Ireland.

‘We are looking on this as the beginning of the end for circuses with animals in Ireland. This is the first council to get this motion passed unanimously (despite the issue being raised in other areas in the past). Hundreds of emails were sent to Fingal councillors from animal rights activists which helped enlighten them on the plight of animals confined in the beastwagons of travelling circuses.’ Bernie Wright, Press Officer AFAR’. See below for synopsis.

From Cllr Clare Daly……

However after a lengthy debate, which you will be able to view on the Council’s webcast, www.fingalcoco.ie, go to Quick Links on the right hand column, and click on “View Council Meetings”, the motion below was passed unanimously –

“That Fingal County Council supports the introduction of by-laws or other measures which would ensure that circuses which use wild animals are prohibited from performing in any part of the local authority area in light of the well-documented evidence of suffering endured by the animals involved and the serious animal welfare issues raised.”

The issue will now be brought to the Community Strategic Policy Committee in order to work out the details of the By-Laws and how the decision can be implemented. Hopefully in this way a very comprehensive policy on the issue can be developed within the parameters of the motion that was passed.

While, I would have been happier if it was all animals, I believe that it is an important step forward, and I hope it can be used to assist debate in other local authorities. If I can be of any assistance at any time on this issue, please do not hesitate to contact me. I can honestly say that your emails and correspondence played a big part in getting the vote through. Keep up the pressure, as with everything else it’s the only way to get results.

All the very best,

Clare Daly

Statement from mayor od fingal, you havn't won yet.

It has been reported this morning that wild animal performances in Circuses within lands owned by Fingal County Council have been banned. This is not the case. The motion below was referred by the full council to the Community, Recreation & Amenity Strategic Policy Committee for further consideration. The SPC is made up of Councillors, Fingal County Council staff and community activists.

It was further agreed to allow broad discussion on the matter involving representatives of Circuses in Ireland and that any ban would encompass all of Fingal, rather than just state owned land. It is most likely that any policy emanating from Fingal will take months to come into force and will only be completed following thorough debate and agreement from the full council.

Reports of an outright ban are premature and factually incorrect.

The debate can be viewed at http://www.fingalcoco.public-i.tv/site/

“That Fingal County Council support the introduction of by-laws or other measures which would ensure that circuses which use wild animals are prohibited from performing in any part of the local authority area, in light of the well-documented evidence of suffering endured by the animals involved and the serious animal welfare issues raised.” (The motion was amended to include the word wild & the deletion of the final line of the original motion.)
