Suella Braverman is Right to Plot the End of the Tyrannical Human Rights Regime Tue Jul 22, 2025 15:00 | Dr David McGrogan
Suella Braverman is right to plot the end of the human rights regime, says Dr David McGrogan. Much of the current dysfunction of the British state stems from judges usurping Parliament in the name of 'human rights'.

The Solar Mirage Tue Jul 22, 2025 07:00 | Tilak Doshi
Solar's cheerleaders continue to make extravagant claims for its "transformative" power. But the reality is solar remains propped up by subsidies, mired in practical challenges and far from 'clean', says Dr Tilak Doshi.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3Hi!
Supporters of this event, from the Kilmainham area of Dublin, have kindly organised and donated 40th anniversary commemorative medals for those brave enough to seek sponsorship and earn it on the day - don't know if the medals are waterproof, but they're surely 'proof' of the dedication of all involved!
More re same at the 'Related Link' , below.
Thanks,
Sharon.
Commemorative medals will be presented to the Cabhair swimmers on Christmas Day next, to mark the 40th anniversary of the event.
Hi!
There has been a fantastic response to this annual event from people in the area and the so-far confirmed four (sponsored) swimmers have been dining out for the last two weeks on the strength of their up-coming derring-do to the extent, I think, that those attending will be expecting the four lads to walk on the water rather than swim in it!
The usual 'goodies' are being donated and stored and Santa has promised to visit - it's good to go, and we're all looking forward to meeting up with old friends, and making new ones.
If you're around that part of Dublin on Christmas Day, between 11am and 1pm, drop by and say hello, pull a cracker, have a mince pie and a sup of 'lemonade' - you'll be welcome!
Thanks,
Sharon.
1,000 printed items of a republican nature have been collated into 'packs' and distributed pub-to-pub and door-to-door in the 'Swim' area.
Hi!
Done and dusted, until the 41st in '17!
We had decent enough weather - mild, overcast and windy - a fairly good crowd and six swimmers, each of whom earned their keep, with hardly any hesitation! The usual 'goodies' were available, the Irish tricolour flew proudly from the Naas Road end of the swim site, the music system blared out some good stuff and we were surveilled electronically more so than physically.
The organisers can be proud of the work they put in and the six lads were proud to receive their '40th Swim Anniversary' medals : all-in-all, a job very well done!
A few words and pics can be seen at the 'Related Link' , below.
Thanks!
Sharon.
The six Cabhair swimmers and their little extra bonus!
