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.

I note that Michael D. makes a measured statement about the Corrib gas project - "Our delegation hopes that Norwegian political and civic society representatives will play their part in ensuring that Statoil develops a Corrib gas project that has the support and consent of the people of the Erris community.”
The Erris people from the above statement are not against the project as such but hope to see one that meets their environmental and social concerns. Indymedia threads have focused understandably on activist campaigning against the current sorry and cynical mess created by the company and its shareholder backers and the unsatisfactory EPA and government consultation and decision making procedures. It would be urgently useful for the Erris residents to spell out once more what they seek from the Statoil company and the Irish Government. I think their voices, not those of weekend blow-in city activists, are what need to be heard clearly and often.
"Weekend blow in city activists".. for fucks sake.
Do you think Statoil is a local company? Do you think the billions upon billions of dollars from the natural gas in Corrib should be shared amongst the people of Erris, and the rest of the country can go hang? Doesn't the taxpayer deserve a return?
Do you think Michael D Higgins ( a weekend blow in from Galway) should keep quiet while the people of Erris sort out the local issue of having a two giant multi national companies supported by the national government of Ireland on their doorstep?
Thanks god for weekend blow-ins and God preserve us from stay-at-home hot air merchants.
As far as I know the shell project has support of the local people. But what is the enviromental concerns? I ask this seriously because I see it mention on indymedia frequently without much explanation. I dont believe everything I read. I'd like some facts please.
For anyone interested, shell dont print promotional t-shirts. I e-mailed and asked.
Michael D. Higgins was a member of the Government from 1992-1997. Labour were in power when the Gas was given away to these multinationals.
Was it not the previous FF/PD government that sold the oil?
"As far as I know the shell project has support of the local people"
You don't know much then. Here's some reading for you :

if you're unable to sopare ANY time more than a couple of minutes, there's a nice, recent overview of the Corrib issue from a blog here: http://capedcrusading.blogspot.com/2008/03/irish-govt-s....html
'Labour were in power when the gas was given away'. Wrong and stupid. The current deal was done from '87 to '92, by Ray Burke,
Bertie et al. Will you please read up on these issues before you make an amadán of yourself again.
Did anybody know what happen in Norway, did the goverment give any help?
While FF are no doubt to blame for the lion's share of this giveaway, Labour were in power since. They were in coalition with FF and then later with FG. Democratic Left politicians who now in positions of power in Labour were also part of this later coalition. They had ample opportunity to change things in regard to royalties and licences, but they did nothing.
So of course people are confused and uncertain as to whether they mean it when they say they would change it. Dick Spring called the deal an act of economic treason in 1992, but then he was in power himself later and did nothing to undo it. Shame.
Anyone interested in the history of Ireland's recent involvement with the Oil companies could take a look at the latest posting on the S2S
website.
It's a brief but accurate synopsis of the sort of corruption that we used to think only happened in the most abject Third World dictatorships.
For the record, between '92 and '96, the oil companies were as secretive as ever about the level of activity and/or success in the Irish
offshore. Even when Corrib was announced in '96, Enterprise played down its signifigance, describing it as 'marginal'. This was enough
to confuse the lúdramáns in Leinster House who were still trying to figure out the difference between the E.E.C and the E.U.
In '97, when Enterprise were ready to make their play, Bertie was back in power replete with the 400,00-plus we now know he was given
circa '92-'94. Thus with Bertie in place and a little help from Frank Fahey, a schoolteacher with a multi-million euro property portfolio, the
stage was set for the ongoing nightmare we're suffering today. By the way, in explanation for Labour/FG inactivity, it's accepted practice
for oil companies to buy the opposition at the same time as the sitting Government, so they would have been told which way to look a
long time before they were in power. Sad but true.
