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.

Its from eirigi in donegal. Seen a statement from Cllr Thomas Pringle in the democrat as well. Will try to get it and post it. It was not very good at all.
Just a few last pics including the safe arrival back to shore of the Shell to Sea kayakers and the ship 'occupant'.
Many thanks to the local skipper and crew who brought us out in their yacht to assist one of our kayaking crew who got into difficulty, also making it easier to get some better pics. I'd like to publish a pic of the yacht and crew but I'd be concerned that it'd be sunk in the middle of the night.
Many thanks to the local coastguard who launched to supervise the safety of the kayakers once a decision was made to return to shore.
Very important to note that the local Marine Service supplier - 'Sinbad Marine Services' is happy to host IRMS security on their boats, which is as unacceptable in Killybegs as it is in Mayo.
Important to note also that this action is an indication of the resistance that will continue against the Shell Corrib gas Project in spite of the recent escalation of State force against persons opposed to it. Recent jailings and strict bail conditions imposed on those who remain innocent of any crime only serve to galvanise the will to oppose and resist. The cowardly and shameful conduct of Judge Mary Devins, Garda Supt. Michael Larkin, Garda Inspector Joe Doherty and the Gardai, who behave like petty children in a vindictive game of tale telling and punishment, with no capacity for fairness and justice, tells a sad tale. Even with all the resources of the State behind ye, ye still resort to playing a rigged game and fighting dirty ... against 'Civil Disobedients' and a few boats from 'Toys "R" Us'. Shame on you all.
The Occupant.
Sinbad Marine Services hosting IRMS Security
Irish Coastguard assisting a safe return to shore. Thanks lads.
Safely back.
Stop Shell ... The Resistance Continues.
So much courage and determination in the face of this huge corporation backed by the state only commands respect and admiration. Continue the fight and we are with you

Maith sibh! Well done Shell to Sea protesters!
Fantastic day Monday starting with the electrrcians strike which will delay work at Bellanaboy. Are there any electricans at the Glengad Compound? What a brainwave to go to Killybegs . Such bravery from those in the kayeks especially the protestor in the tyre. Congratulations to all involved. Great for media attention that the campaign is on going.
No arrests and everyone ok!
Well done all - good photos, too!
Yes, people are realising the extent of the theft they've suffered.
above article got translated to polish, for the polish indymedia - http://pl.indymedia.org/pl/2009/07/45820.shtml
Well done all,
It is heartening to see that you young people are using your intelligence to out wit the scumbags.
This buisness will get even dirtier as you rub their noses in it.
The minister for injustice thinks it is ok for fascist merceneries to be deployed against honest Irish citizens,yet would not consider using them against the dishonest crooks in Limerick. He has to rush a bill through the Dail to give more power to the Gardai and the Judiciary, a bill that will not stop the intimidation of witnesses and will not stop the murder of same.
If the brave Gardai that are assaulting the erris people were to do their job properly they could stop the gangs with existing law.
There is another motive behind his actions
Fianna Fail scams are never ending they think they can do anything to the public and get away with it. Their time is running out the people are begining to see what evil rats they are.
Towards the end of the audio interview ( http://www.indymedia.ie/attachments/jul2009/killybegs6j...9.mp3 ) he mentions that Maura Harrington and some of the other locals and campers went down to the electricians picket of the Shell refinery at Bellnaboy this morning to express their support for their demands.
SINBAD Marine Services have IRMS crew on board worthy of note!
Sinbad are a private marine service to boats that work here. Sinbad contracted to Shell also
