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.

Why is Modernity so Ugly? Fri Jul 18, 2025 11:00 | Joanna Gray
Why is the modern world so unremittingly ugly, wonders Joanna Gray. As yet another interchangeable block of beige bricks springs up in town, the contrast with the glories of the structures our ancestors built is damning.

Gig
Wicklow Against Suicide regrets that it will be unable to take
any funding from the suicide prevention gig due to its
constitution drawn up in 2010 which states " funding cannot
be accepted as we are solely a lobby group. "
Speaking today in a personal capacity co-founder Wayne Flanagan Tobin said:
" Unfortunately we are governed by a constitution and our sole function is to
campaign and lobby for others not ourselves. While we are fully endorsing and
supporting Shane Rowan's gig, it is not for financial purposes we were established
and we merely perform a lobby function. However we will all gladly pull together
to help Shane organise a comprehensive leaflet with a list of helpline numbers and
would only be delighted to distribute this door to door en masse with people power with the
money that he raises from his gig. Shane has done great work for the battle against
suicide prevention".
"The final decision on funding was made by chairman John Curran in conjunction with
Flanagan Tobin" said a statement from the organisation which was set up in 2007.

wayne and those like him campaign against suicide. fair play to him.
Meanwhile FG, the banks, the church, and Eirtricity and the like drive people to suicide in droves.
or the health service lets them die on waiting lists while waiting for medical help.
Such hypocrisy exists in our society. The fact is life no longer matters to those in power (if it ever did)
Why not just be honest about it and give a suicide grant? so people can at least die with some dignity and no suffering?
It's clear the poor are not wanted and their life has no meaning in our society, only money. Its clear they would rather we just "went away" and any payments of any kind to them are resented.
The banks, even defunct ones like anglo Irish come way before human needs.
How many lives could 50 billion save? Thats the real meaning of "bailouts" (for banks). Think of them in terms of human lives.
But no, they're too stingy to even pay for a suicide grant. The troika wouldn't hear of it.
Let the poor all starve or die of cancer .. In the dark. with no water. and the sheriff coming next day to take their house...or the landlord to collect the overdue rent on the rathole he rents them. while thousands of properties lie idle. And the developers plot to have them demolished to "keep property values up" for the rich.
We even throw the mentally ill onto the streets so we can sell the property to give that to banks too.
Ireland has become a right wing neocon shithole like america. where the poor are expected to just die quietly and not inconvenience anybody. There are many more Like that girl in the cold flat that we will never hear about.
Curran is old school and from the greater Dublin area apparently. They are right to steer clear of funding if awareness is what they want to do.
nobody "stopped the funding"
a group made a conscious decision to try to avoid problems of undue influence by not taking or becoming reliant on particular funding.
This way they can stay on message and say what they have to without being influenced by funding.
If they can work like that on that budget then I think thats great.
Thats quite similar to how this very site works as far as I know. only the bare amount needed to maintain it is taken in the form of small donations from the public. Corporate / state / political donations or any form of advertising are completely rejected. And it is run 100% by unpaid volunteers
Its a good way to keep an organisation honest if you can manage to do it.
Kind Hearts & Caring Persons are necessary to propel Wicklow against Suicide , Money is of course secondary in all walks of Life , Greed is the Root of ALL EVIL & evil will thrive no matter what comes or goes , Understand the Person who walks aside you, for someday that person Could Be You .
Wishing you all the very best of Luck ,.
WAS have done a good job in keeping snakes out of their organisation and keeping it tight in Wicklow a corrupt county is advisable. Power to the people.
I doubt if the Parasite Irish Public Sector ever prevented even one suicide.
They are good at pretending to do so.
