WHAT HANDGUN DID GARDAÍ RECOVER? I have examined the clearest individual frames from this video rather than relying upon the moving image. The object recovered from the bin is almost certainly a magazine-fed, self-loading pistol. Its rectangular slide, polymer-style frame, trigger-guard profile, grip geometry, and apparent absence of an external hammer are most consistent with a Glock-pattern, striker-fired handgun. The Glock 17 and compact Glock 19 are the leading possibilities. Numerous pistols, including the Smith & Wesson M&P, CZ P-10, Walther PPQ/P99, and Springfield XD/HS2000, share broadly similar silhouettes. The video therefore cannot establish the precise manufacturer or model. My assessment: • Self-loading pistol: approximately 95% • Glock-pattern design: approximately 60% • Glock 17/19 family specifically: approximately 55% combined Nor can the calibre be identified visually. A Glock 17 or 19 would ordinarily be chambered in 9×19mm, while the similarly shaped Glock 44 uses the much smaller .22 Long Rifle cartridge. Replicas, blank-firers, converted weapons, and numerous Glock copies must also remain within the range of possibilities until the recovered object is examined. The significance of a Glock-pattern weapon is its intentionally simple operating system: lightweight construction, few external controls, a consistent trigger mechanism, internal safeties, and a detachable magazine. These characteristics make the platform straightforward to handle, although the condition and operability of this particular object remain unknown. Small calibre must never be confused with harmless. Even a .22 LR projectile striking the torso can penetrate deeply enough to damage organs or major blood vessels, produce serious internal bleeding, permanent disability, or death. The entrance wound may appear comparatively small while concealing grave internal injury. The responsible conclusion is therefore precise but limited: this appears most likely to be a Glock-pattern semiautomatic pistol, possibly within the Glock 17/19 size class. Only examination by the Garda Ballistics Section can establish its make, model, calibre, functionality, provenance, and whether it has previously been discharged.

FIRST UPPER PALAEOLITHIC CAVE ART FOUND IN IRELAND, POSSIBLY AT LEAST 15,000 YEARS OLD If the dating is confirmed, this would be the oldest cave art yet identified in Ireland and could transform our understanding of human activity on our island during the Ice Age. The precise locations are being withheld while the sites are protected and investigated. Formal sampling, dating, analysis, and peer-reviewed publication are still to come. What has already been established is fascinating. There were people in Ireland during the Ice Age. Cut marks on a bear bone from Clare, dating to around 12,500 years ago, are widely accepted as evidence of human activity. A much older, approximately 33,000-year-old reindeer bone from a Cork cave has also been interpreted by some researchers as showing human butchery, although that remains disputed. Now we may have something entirely different: Ireland's first Ice Age cave art. The team is investigating the possibility that some of the marks were made approximately 15,000 years ago, potentially extending the widely accepted evidence for human activity in Ireland significantly further into the Ice Age. How old are they? That is what they are working to establish now. At the coldest point of the last Ice Age, around 20,000 years ago, sea level was approximately 120 metres lower than today. By around 15,000 years ago, the sea between what are now Wales and Ireland was still substantially lower than it is today. The team is investigating whether people could have reached what is now Ireland across, or partly across, that exposed landscape. They call the proposed landscape St George's Land. Importantly, they are not claiming that a continuous dry land bridge has been proved. It may have been dry land, islands, marshes, channels, or some combination of them. Their narrower proposition is that the sea presented a much smaller obstacle than it does today. Nobody had previously identified Ice Age cave art in Ireland. One reason is deceptively simple: Nobody knew where to look. LIACARA - The Living Intelligent Archive of Ancient Culture, Art, and Relational Archaeology To address that, Genevieve von Petzinger's team built an AI-integrated research system called LIACARA. LIACARA, the Living Intelligent Archive of Ancient Culture, Art, and Relational Archaeology, brings together archaeological databases, archives, multimedia, geographic information, published datasets, and artificial intelligence to identify patterns across time and space. It reconstructs what is known about the Ice Age landscape layer by layer and identifies places where surviving prehistoric art may be more likely. That gave the archaeologists candidate sites. The AI did not discover the art. People did. Deciding which caves were genuinely worth entering, navigating them, examining their walls, and deciding whether marks were natural or human-made remained the work of archaeologists, researchers, and experienced cavers. Ireland was LIACARA's first test. The team fed the system what they knew about Ice Age cave-art sites in south Wales and asked where comparable locations might exist in Ireland. Using that modelling together with human archaeological judgement, the team examined 28 caves in County Clare. Eight contained marks considered worthy of further investigation. In the particular cave shown in the accompanying video, reached only after an extraordinary crawl through approximately 20 metres of extremely confined passage, the marks include finger flutings made by dragging fingers through soft deposits known as moonmilk. And on one point the researchers are already emphatic: • Those finger marks were definitely made by human hands. • Some of the flutings have subsequently been covered by calcite. • That is particularly important because the calcite may provide a means of establishing a minimum age for the marks underneath it. The scientific work now begins.

Part 5: The Irish NGO Complex, An Investigative Series - The Remaking of Ireland Race, Identity, Family, Education, & the Transformation of the State The softening of Ireland for the ongoing scheme of mass population replacement is gathering pace through the National Action Plan Against Racism. Officially launched in 2023, this plan aims to cultivate a culture of white guilt among the Irish and to grant special privileges to foreigners, effectively demoting the native population to second-class citizens in their own country. Allegedly, these changes are being implemented because the migrants in Ireland are not feeling safe. In reality, the increasing number of third-world migrants has contributed greatly to the declining sense of safety among Irish women and children. The public face for this cultural reprogramming is Ebun Joseph. Anti-racism is built on only one thing: white superiority. The Nigerian anti-racism activist was given the role of special rapporteur, and her job is to monitor progress and write annual reports on Irish racism. Ebun Joseph, however, is not the brain behind this programme. If we observe her network, we can see that she is the direct protégé of Alice Feldman, a Jewish academic at University College Dublin. It was Feldman who supervised Joseph's PhD, and it was Feldman who groomed Joseph for her current role as the face of Irish anti-racism. She has spent over two decades working against native Irish interests through her advocacy in immigration, anti-racism, interculturalism, and critical race theory. Though a whole host of Irish and ethnic minority names have been listed as authors of the National Plan Against Racism, even the briefest of research reveals that it was first conceived as far back as 2003, and that the author of a plan bearing this precise name was none other than Feldman herself. If we explore further, we will notice that Joseph is also influenced by Ronit Lentin, a Jewish academic who introduced the utterly debunked Critical Race Theory (CRT) to Ireland in 1997. Lentin, who led sociology at Trinity College until 2012, she redefined Ireland as a biopolitical racist state and has actively campaigned for open immigration policies while opposing deportations. She introduced the concept of Irish racism, arguing that the very notion of Irish identity is a white supremacist fabrication. Working alongside Feldman and Lentin on a 2008 collaboration relating to the early National Plan Against Racism was the Irish Jewish writer Katrina Goldstone. As the board member of New Communities Ireland, the largest national network of more than 150 migrant-led groups, Goldstone has described herself as being involved in asylum rights and minority issues for more than two decades. Jewish and liberal activists have also prioritised teaching anti-racism in Western education, aiming to instil white guilt and suppress expressions of white identity. In Ireland, this was advanced by Catherine Zappone, an American lesbian and former Minister for Children from May 6, 2016, to June 27, 2020, who, in 2016, introduced the Diversity, Equality and Inclusion Charter for early childhood education. The Anti-Bias Approach The initiative by Zappone, drawing from the anti-bias approach of American Jew Louise Derman-Sparks, seeks to reorient Irish education against native interests. Derman-Sparks, known for works like Leading Anti-Bias Early Childhood Programs and What if All the Kids Are White?, has directly influenced Irish policy, promoting the idea that whiteness perpetuates systemic racism. By adopting her methods, Ireland has committed to indoctrinating its youth, ensuring the continuation of this suicidal ideological shift. This pattern of cultural manipulation is not unique to Ireland, but reflects a broader Western trend where academic theories, often from Jewish scholars, are used to indoctrinate the next generation of professionals, who then disseminate these ideas throughout society. Ebun Joseph pushes for these anti-racism teachings to be compulsory, aiming to dismantle the very fabric of European culture. According to the logic of critical race theory, the Irish are racist by virtue of their existence, with the only resolution being their cultural and demographic erasure. The strategy is a form of conquest, not by traditional means of war, but through policy, education, and the manipulation of public perception. The 33rd Dáil and the Department of Children Also worthy of mention is that, in the 33rd Dáil (2020–2024), the department's name under Zappone was expanded to the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth. The new department was headed by Roderic O'Gorman (Green Party), a gay man who deleted three out of four files/reports sent by retired District Court Judge Dermot Simms concerning children in the care of Tusla (the Child and Family Agency) from June 27, 2020, to late 2024, and he continued briefly into the new term until January 23, 2025. For eight and a half years, a lesbian woman and a gay man directed all policy concerning Children and Family matters in Ireland, persons who, by their choice of sexual preference, are incapable of natural births with their partners. It was eight and a half years of disastrously intrusive and counter-constitutional Acts and EU Directives which have hollowed out the meaning of Family, Parent, Man, Woman, Mother, Father, and acceptable Children's education programmes. The 39th and 40th Constitutional Amendments Amidst this previously unforeseen destruction of Irish family values and children's education turned into indoctrination, and the interference of unmandated NGOs such as BelongTo, the 33rd presented the 39th and 40th amendments to the Irish Constitution, which sought: The 39th Amendment (The Family Amendment) Goal: To expand the definition of family in the Constitution. Proposal: To change Article 41 so that the state's protected family unit was recognised as being founded either "on marriage or on other durable relationships" instead of strictly on marriage. Outcome: Rejected by 67.7% of voters. The 40th Amendment (The Care Amendment) Goal: To replace language regarding women in the home with gender-neutral care language. Proposal: To remove Article 41.2, which referenced women's life and duties within the home, and insert a new Article 42B recognising that family members provide care to one another. Outcome: Rejected by 73.9% of voters. The Right to Housing Following the heavy defeat of the 39th and 40th Amendment referendums in March 2024, the government slowed and deferred its constitutional timetable, but several proposals had been advanced or committed to under the Programme for Government during the 33rd Dáil. The Right to Housing (Government Right to Compulsory Purchase Order Private Property of Irish Citizens) The Proposal: Enshrining a constitutional Right to Housing and balancing private property rights with the common good. Status: A core commitment under the 2020 Programme for Government. The government established the Housing Commission to advise on and draft potential wording, though political debate and delays within the coalition slowed its formal introduction before the dissolution of the 33rd Dáil. They also intended to introduce: The Judicial Oath Bill (Replacing "Man" and "God") In March 2025, a Private Member's Bill was introduced to the Dáil by Fine Gael TD Barry Ward. The bill explicitly proposed a constitutional amendment to "modernise" the declaration made by judges and the President upon taking office (Article 34.5.1). The proposal sought to: Change the word "man" to "person" in the English text of the oath. Remove references to "God" from both the English and Irish versions of the text.

A Young Teen Girl Collapses Inside Easons, Blanchardstown Centre - One of Ireland’s Largest Shopping Centres - Convulsing and Foaming at the Mouth. Connolly Hospital, with One of Dublin’s Major Emergency Departments and Ambulance Fleets, Is Minutes Away. 999 Was Called Immediately. No Emergency Response Yet. No Visible First Aid Administered. Now 105 Minutes and Counting. This evening, at approximately 6.10pm, a young Irish girl collapsed in what staff described to me as a serious medical emergency on the upper floor of Eason’s two-level unit in Blanchardstown Centre. A 999 call was made. 98 minutes later, there was still no visible emergency medical response at the scene. Let that sink in. A child collapsed on the floor of a major shopping centre in Dublin 15. She was unconscious. Her parents were sitting beside her on the floor. Staff had closed the upper level of the store where the incident occurred. And people still tried to get in. Not to buy medicine. Not to get food. Not to deal with an emergency of their own. The upper level of this store sells stationery, envelopes, picture frames and similar retail items. The ground-floor bookshop remained open. This was not a question of essentials. This was not necessity. This was consumer selfishness stripped naked. The girl was only feet from the entrance. She was plainly visible. Yet people argued with staff that they should still be allowed in, as though a collapsed child on the floor was merely an obstruction between them and stationery. According to the manager, people did not ask how the girl was. They did not ask whether she was alive, conscious, breathing, safe, or being helped. They wanted what they had come to buy. That is not merely disappointing. It is obscene. I am deliberately not showing the girl, her face, her parents, or any identifying image of her in the attached video. This post is not about exploiting a child’s distress. It is about recording the disgrace of what happened around her. Connolly Hospital is only minutes away from this location. It is a large hospital with a major Emergency Department. In a normal vehicle, it is close. With blue lights, in an emergency, it should feel almost next door. And yet, 98 minutes after the emergency call, no visible emergency medical response had arrived. I do not know where exactly the failure occurred. I do not know whether the issue lies with dispatch, capacity, triage, staffing, ambulance availability, or some other breakdown in the system. But I know what I saw. A 13-year-old girl collapsed on a shop floor. Her parents sat beside her. Staff tried to protect the scene. Members of the public argued to get past her. And nearly an hour and forty minutes after a 999 call, the emergency response still had not visibly arrived. This is Ireland in 2026. A child can collapse in one of Dublin’s largest shopping centres, minutes from a major hospital, and the system can leave her on the floor long enough for strangers to become irritated that they cannot buy envelopes. It is now approaching two hours and still no emergency medical response. This is not normal. This is not acceptable. And someone needs to answer for it.
