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.

Gas is Dirt Cheap. Only Politicians Make Energy Expensive Sun Jul 27, 2025 07:00 | Ben Pile
Gas is ? or should be ? dirt cheap because it's abundant and easy to extract, store and transport. Only politicians infected with the neo-Malthusian green mind virus make energy expensive, says Ben Pile.

Sponsored swim to raise funds for the family and dependants of Irish Republican prisoners .
On Christmas day next at 12 noon , sponsored swimmers will , once again , swim at least two widths each of the Grand Canal at Inchicore , Dublin , in an event which has been held since 1976 !
The swim will take place beside the bridge opposite the Blackhorse Inn (Kellys) Pub , and is organised by CABHAIR , the Irish Republican prisoners dependants fund organisation : music , fire , food and drink will be supplied by the organisers and all are welcome
Are you only talking about IRA Sinn Fein Prisoners?
the provo ogra statement was about prisoners aligned to the provos, i posted about the cabhair christmas swim, cabhair supports prisoners affiliated with the republican movement.
I saw this on yahoo newsgroup and its good to see that Republican prisoners still have support stateside:
Every Christmas morning a swim is held in Dublin, it is held to raise
funds for the dependants of Republican prisoners. They have a
bonfire, music playing, food, etc and many people come to watch and
take part. It's become a Christmas tradition for many Dublin
Republican families.
This year is also the swims 30th anniversary! On the IRBB (
http://admin2.7.forumer.com/index.php ) a member/poster on there
named "Kat" has started an open ended donation drive to help support
this worthy cause. It started when she pledged $20 USD for every
member of the IRBB who swam, other members have pledged to match her
donation and so far the ante is up to $140 USD per swimmer. After the
swim, those who has taken part will send on their donations to the
National Irish Freedom Committee ( www.irishfreedom.net ) , who raise
funds for Cabhair in America. If you are a member of the IRBB, even
if you have never posted before,when you get a chance read the thread
titled " CABHAIR Christmas swim -30 years underwater" and hopefully
you too will want to get involved in helping alleviate just some of
the finacial burden of prisoners families this holday season!
Cabhair - Irish Republican Prisoners Dependants Fund
Cabhair is a charitable organisation, solely dependant on public subscriptions. It was established in early 1987, following the revolutionary / reformist split in the republican movement, for "the relief of cases of distress arising out of republican activity".
Immediately followimg the Ard-Fheis of Sinn Féin in 1986 when the Provisionals departed from the Republican road a number of Irish political prisoners in England, the Six Counties and the 26 Counties adhered to the revolutionary path and refused to accept support from the Provisionals.
To meet this pressing need CABHAIR was formed and has continued with this noble work. Prisoners that they have cared for have been released on completion of sentence and others have gone to prison. At no time since 1987 have no prisoners been in CABHAIR's care. As long as British rule continues in Ireland, Irish people will resist that foreign occupation and, unfortunately, there will be political prisoners.
CABHAIR currently supports Republican prisoners in Portlaoise prison in the 26 Counties and Maghaberry prison in the Six Occupied Counties.

Hi all !
I posted information regarding the Christmas Swim in the 'Events' section of this site
(http://www.indymedia.ie/article/79923) and would just like to add that John , from the 'Weblog' mentioned below , has attended 29 such outings and will be present this December 25th for the 30th event .
It has in the past drawn crowds of about 200 people (from toddlers on their first trike out with their parents to pensioners who are no doubt fed-up with screaming grandkids in their house!) regardless of the weather , and , hopefully , will do so again this year !
If you are out walking in the area , do drop by - if you are driving past that particular canal bridge , sound your car horn in support !
Thank You ,
Sharon .

Remember- They are in there for us.
The Dublin and British governments do their best to convince the world that there are no political prisoners today in Irish or British jails. We, of course, know that that's not the case. Not only should we remember them but their families as well. What if we all wrote into our local newspapers on that topic? We know that to the mainstream press, there are no political prisoners! A few well placed letters to the editor could only increase awareness in the general population.
Hi Jane !
Good post - thanks for taking the time to put it together.
The Cabhair group have one of these organised for December 14th next -
http://11sixtynine.blogsome.com/2008/09/13/roll-up-roll-up/
- and the annual sponsored Christmas Swim as well , which will be held on December 25th -
http://www.indymedia.ie/article/89342
- all proceeds from both events will be going directly to the prisoners and/or their families .
Thanks again !
Sharon.
