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. If you do you are labelled an extremist. 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.

The Epping Protesters Have Had Enough of Being Ignored and Lied To Fri Jul 18, 2025 15:00 | David Shipley
Last night's violence in Epping is the desperate cry of people who have been ignored for decades, says David Shipley. Violence must be condemned. But if the state doesn?t change course, and fast, we will see many Eppings.

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.

RTE Radio 1 Interview with Squeek - 19th March 2008
Interview with professor George Eogan on Rath Lugh national monument, Hill of Tara.
March 21 2008.
The National Roads Authority have just erected a metal fence, to keep protesters from interfering with M3 motorway construction works, which are directly impacting the Rath Lugh national monument, and severing the archaeological complex.
Professor George Eogan
Director of Knowth Research Project and Professor Emeritus of Archaeology, University College, DublinGeorge Eogan (Ph.D., Trinity College, Dublin) is a leading expert in the archaeology of Ireland, with particular interest in the Neolithic and Late Bronze Ages. He is the Director of the Knowth Research Project and has been excavating at Knowth for more than 40 years as part of his investigation of the Passage Tomb builders in Ireland and Western Europe. Professor Eogan is a native of Ireland and has taught and lectured extensively on the country’s archaeology. Now Professor Emeritus of Archaeology, University College, Dublin, his archaeological research has led to approximately 90 papers and nine books, including The Accomplished Art: Gold and Gold-working in Britain and Ireland During the Bronze Age (Oxbow Books, 1994), Knowth and the Passage Tombs of Ireland (Thames and Hudson, 1986), and (with M. Herity) Ireland in Prehistory (Routledge & Kegan Paul, 1977).

Brian Duffy, chief archaeologist of the Department of the Environment, was
appointed to his post even though he has only a general BA degree in archaeology
and no track record of archaeological excavations or publications, The Irish
Times has established.
"He has never directed an archaeological excavation and has no experience in
that area whatsoever, though he might have participated in one as a student 30
years ago. He also got his BA long before landscape archaeology became an
important area of research."
Prof Waddell said Mr Duffy's "incomprehensible lack of knowledge of what
constitutes an archaeological landscape" was evident in the advice he gave
Minister for the Environment Dick Roche on the plan to route the M3 motorway
through the Tara-Skryne valley in Co Meath. "In failing to address the question
that the Tara landscape constitutes an archaeological area . . . the chief
archaeologist, the department and the Minister failed in their duty of care in
respect of the country's heritage," he said in an affidavit for the High Court
case on the M3.
Very moving interview with Prof. George Eogan. I happened to be present during another interview with him at Lismullin by an Independent Film Maker ( Documentary yet to be aired) at the time of the discovery of the Lismullin Stone. At the time he was quite happy with the Archaeology and had no particular comment against the NRA or Govt Policy.
Good to see he has changed his mind.
The Lismullin Stone
so that's not true what you said he may have been happy with how the preservation by record/dismantling of lismullin was being carried out but he never wanted the road to go through their in the first place. http://seanharnett.blogspot.com/2007/05/more-about-tara....html
He also signed the statement in 2005
See

under E.
Of course he was against this route - just that the media interest was not quite the same back then ...

Just to show what happened in the past:

So much has gone on since this first was proposed in 2000. Most of the opposition has gone unnoticed by the media, and as a result, those more recently involved.

* On Wednesday the Oireachtas Committee on the Environment heard from eminent archaeologists who were very unhappy with the proposed route of the M3 near the Hill of Tara. Professor George Eogan, the man who carried out the major excavation at Newgrange, considered the choice of route a very odd decision and Dr Edel Breathnach, one of three academics who had been researching Tara for the last 14 years, claimed that the road will "destroy this immensely important landscape". She also argued that this particular route will lead to protracted delays and significant extra costs due to archaeological work and court actions.
Ed
I didnt say he was pro the route going through the Valley, what I said was that he wouldnt comment for the Independent Film interview that day. He also feigned ignorance of the fact that it was the Rath Lugh protesters who brought the Lismullin Stone to Public attention. He "seemed " unaware of the protest at all that day , or at least that was the impression he wanted to leave us with. It's on film and there are other witnesses. I do not detract from his expertise or his committment to Archaeology , that is there in evidence with decades. Indeed he is a lovely man whom I would never wish to insult and I am also well aware of his stance from previous reports.
That is why I am glad he has spoken out in the above interview, from the heart, standing on Rath Lugh surveying the destruction. It is a moving piece of film. Sorry if I was misunderstood or unclear in my expression. Thanks.
