The truth?
The Irish public doesn't WANT their national rivers and lakes turned into stinking, dying, cesspools for profit by a particular commercial sector, that also happens to be very heavily subsidised by people's taxes.
Yet that's what this government continues to push for.

A very old oak in Dereen Garden, Kerry. When it started life, the area likely still belonged to the O'Sullivan Beares, before English colonialists took it by force in the mid-17th century and cleared the rainforest.
Just like Palestine now, land theft, racist genocide, & ecocide went hand in hand.

The absurd proscription was a huge political misstep that has led to over a thousand people arrested for sign holding. It must be lifted.

Mad watching England turn into NI
Flags went up in Stirchley a few days ago & were taken down by local residents the same evening.
The men returned with a cherry picker and coned off parts of the road with police accompanying them as they put up new flags along the High Street.
Residents who object have been met with verbal abuse.
