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.

16 Year-Olds Like Me Shouldn?t Be Given the Vote Sat Jul 19, 2025 09:00 | Jack Watson
16 year-old Jack Watson says teenagers like him shouldn't be given the vote. Many of his peers waste money, sleep in all day, play games and are clueless about politics. Keir Starmer's move here reeks of desperation.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7We need one of these in every city centre. People need to start talking about the class warfare that is currently being waged on them, and how we can turn the tide.
Great initiative here. I wish it every success
"A revolution is a change of mind" is writtten in quotation marks. I tried googling the phrase , but couldn't find out who said it in the first place.Also,at the Project Art Centre link , three of the invited speakers are described as "Theatre Makers". I haven't been able to find a definition for "Theater maker" on the web .
I'm not sure I understand? Why shove people away into a corner or 'officially sanctioned' space. No one is stopping you from speaking your mind around the city, and sorry to sound pessimistic, but I don't like the idea of 'freedom of speech' being confined to one area.
Just a thought.
It says on the Project site that entrance is "free" . Despite this, it all sounds to me like gift-packaging freedom of speech and serving it up as a Temple Bar cultural commodty. How to brand it though? As a gig, an event, a happening -a safe alternative to Occupy ?
People are free to get up and talk anywhere they like (subject to the whims of the cops etc) , but it makes sense that there should be some structure (e.g. time / place ) to it so we know where to go and when if we want to hear them speak etc., or where / when we can toddle along to speak ourselves, with the hope of having a few people who have come along to listen to us.
By building a tradition (time / place), it makes it a little harder over time for the cops / wardens to justify "moving people along" for expressing less mainstream views and information publicly.
I also think the megaphone technique of Charlie Veitch in this video is also worth considering in regards to this initiative and should be tried more widely.

Less than a year ago, the Gardai worked with officials from Dublin City Council to dismantle the Dame St Occupy Camp. In the run-up to the royal visit and the visit by President Obama in May last year ,DCC banned all political postering : Those applying for permission to erect posters were sent the following email by the council:
'I wish to advise you that your application has been refused. This decision has been taken on the basis that no postering applications for events between 15th and 25th May are being granted in the interest of promoting a clean environment for Dublin City during forthcoming State visits.' see:http://www.indymedia.ie/article/99733
Now, Ray Yeates ,the recently appointed Arts Officer for Dublin City Council , is given pride of place by the DCC funded Project Art Centre to promote freedom of speech , the right to free assembly etc.
Yes that's certainly pretty hypocritical.
I definitely won't defend DCC postering policy, or their cynical 4am attack on the occupy Dame street camp..
