So a video of Lynn Boylan appeared on my timeline. Out of curiosity I looked up her account, only to find she'd already blocked me despite us never having interacted. The video itself is extraordinary. Lynn Boylan argues passionately for the right to use her native language in the European Parliament. When informed she is free to speak Irish, she replies that she hadn't prepared her speech in Irish. If you're going to make linguistic rights the centrepiece of your argument, surely you'd arrive prepared to use the language you're insisting on speaking. The irony speaks for itself.

🚨 The Helen Ogbu Timeline Scandal: Optics Over Truth When a news station gets your life story completely wrong, you correct it unless the mistake actively serves your political career. On February 11, 2025, Labour’s Mayor of Galway, Helen Ogbu, shared an African TV news report on her YouTube channel. Instead of correcting glaring factual errors, she celebrated the coverage. The Fake Mantra: The broadcast claimed she fled to Ireland as an immediate refugee directly following her husband Sunny's tragic assassination. The Real Motivation: Pre-edited campaign videos and websites deliberately combined her relocation with the 2010 murder to weaponise a tragic, emotive backstory for the by-election. ⏱️ The Real Timeline vs. The Campaign Myth 2001 (The Birth): Ogbu flew to Ireland heavily pregnant, delivered her daughter, and immediately flew back to Nigeria. Under the laws at the time, her daughter gained automatic Irish citizenship. 2004 (The Constitutional Impact): This exact legal pathway directly triggered the 27th Amendment of the Irish Constitution, where the Irish public voted overwhelmingly to abolish automatic birthright citizenship. 2005 (The Return): Ogbu returned to Ireland to claim asylum and establish residency. August 2010 (The Political Rally): Despite claiming she lived in permanent fear for her life in Nigeria, she flew back to Nigeria to attend a political campaign rally for her husband, Sunny. October 2010 (The Assassination): Sunny Orji-Ogbu was tragically assassinated in Nigeria five years after she had already settled her residency in Ireland. Late 2010 (The 4-Month Stay): Following the murder, she flew back to Nigeria a third time for the funeral and remained there for four months. 🔍 The Campaign Omission Why did Helen Ogbu and the Labour Party wipe the 2001 trip and her multiple returns to Nigeria completely from her official biography? Evading Political Sensitivity: Omitting 2001 allowed her to completely avoid public scrutiny regarding birthright citizenship and the 2004 referendum. Fabricating the Narrative: Rewriting history allowed her campaign to tell a seamless story linking her migration directly to her husband's death. When exposed, Labour tried to blame a "typo" by a volunteer activist. But Ogbu admitted on the radio she knew about the errors "last year". This wasn’t a mistake it was a calculated political decision to let a useful fiction travel faster than the truth. #GalwayPolitics #HelenOgbu #LabourParty #FactCheck #IrishPolitics #Accountability

Meet Richard Kamson. To his professional network on LinkedIn, he was the Social Media Manager for DNA Nightclub, a premier student venue in Galway City. Behind the scenes, however, his life took a drastically different turn. Kamson's escalating encounters with local law enforcement ranging from public order issues to a major €81,000 drug seizure ultimately pulling the young promoter from the nightlife scene and into the Galway Circuit Criminal Court. 🎥 May 2020: The Salthill Promenade Incident During a pandemic lockdown weekend, Kamson (then a teenager) was involved in a hostile physical altercation with An Garda Síochána on Salthill beach and the Promenade. The Aftermath: He posted an aggressive video rant targeting the guards on social media, which went viral and caused massive public backlash. The Apology & Court Outcome: He later deleted the video and issued a public apology on Galway Bay FM. Charged with public order and obstruction offenses, the court spared him jail due to his young age, clear record, and athletic potential, placing him on the Restorative Justice Programme instead. 🏠 September 2021: The RTB Eviction (Doughiska) Kamson’s ongoing anti-social behavior at his family's social housing apartment in Straith Fhada, Doughiska, resulted in severe consequences for his household. The Breaches: The landlord, Tuath Housing, issued multiple formal warnings regarding disruptions caused by Kamson. The Tribunal: Tuath ultimately issued a Notice of Termination. Kamson appealed the eviction, but the Residential Tenancies Board (RTB) tribunal rejected his excuses, upheld the landlord's evidence of severe tenancy breaches, and legally confirmed the eviction, forcing his family out. ❄️ September 2021: The €81,000 Drug Raid Concurrently, a targeted Garda raid at the Doughiska apartment exposed Kamson's involvement in large-scale drug dealing. The Search: Gardaí executed a search warrant at his home and found quantities of drugs in his bedroom. The Woods: Kamson cooperated upon arrest and led officers to Merlin Park Woods, where two gear bags were unearthed. Forensic Science Ireland valued the total haul at €81,000 (€57,000 in cannabis and €24,000 in cocaine). ⚖️ March 2026: Court and Custody Remand Kamson appeared before Judge Brian O'Callaghan at the Galway Circuit Criminal Court, pleading guilty to possession of drugs for sale or supply. The Deception: His defense argued for leniency, presenting a probation report stating he was a low risk for reoffending. However, Gardaí strongly disputed this, revealing Kamson had actively come to their adverse attention for separate offenses while claiming to be rehabilitating. The Outcome: Stating that Kamson had misled both the court and the Probation Service, Judge O'Callaghan revoked his bail, remanded him in custody, and adjourned the final sentencing to demand updated, verified background reports. Richard Kamson pleaded guilty to charges under Section 15 of the Misuse of Drugs Act 1977, specifically the unlawful possession of controlled drugs (cocaine and cannabis) for the purpose of sale or supply. Because the financial valuation of the seized drugs reached approximately €81,000, his actions legally fall under the severe criteria of Section 15A of the Act, which dictates trafficking offenses exceeding a €13,000 threshold. 📅 Current Status and Court Updates His final sentencing hearing was formally adjourned by Judge Brian O'Callaghan until June 10, 2026, meaning his case was scheduled to return to the Galway Circuit Criminal Court yesterday. The Remand Status: Kamson spent the period leading up to June 10 held in custody after his bail was completely revoked in March.

Imagine having to put up with this everyday at work. A man goes home to Romania for three months and expects his dole money and rent money to be waiting for him when he gets back. Under EU law, a person from another EU country can move to another country 1. If they have enough money to support themselves and their families . 2. If they have health Insurance. 3. If they are seeking work they can stay in Ireland for three months but again they MUST have enough money to support themselves and their families and have health Insurance. 4. They can apply for an extension of another three months if they are looking for work. So the question is why is Ireland 1. Paying for housing for persons from other EU countries who failed to optain work. 2. Paying social welfare to persons who moved here from other EU countries for extended periods of time. Also bear in mind There is no automatic entitlement to access social welfare payments in Ireland as an Irish citizen. To qualify you will need to satisfy payment related criteria, and either have enough social insurance contributions, or satisfy the HRC "Habitual Residence Condition" and a means test in some cases. Yet this guy wants it all.

Fun times ahead for Ireland and All EU countries under the finger of the EU, Spend just under 2 minutes to watch this, it will put the hairs standing on you neck. When you consider news agencies and TV stations like RT were blocked in the EU this is just another level of control. No wonder EU want Ireland to enact the new hate Speech laws. As it is the NUJ did a deal with the UN that their members would not negativity report on migrants even if they committed crimes. Now The EU wants an extension of hate speech to include The criminalisation of migration speech, criticism of migration WILL become a criminal offense, Also Media outlets that give room to the "criticism of migration" can and will be shut down. The complex for migration is legalisation of mass migration

Lefty lawyer helping an illegal Afghan asylum seeker, despite being on the sex offender's register for a sexual assault that occurred in England however he was granted refugee status because he is a sex offender. His initial asylum claim was rejected, but his lawyers successfully appealed this decision on the grounds that because he enjoys public masturbation and committing public sexual acts deporting him would put him at great at a great risk of "physical violence" if he was deported to Afghanistan. It was also argued that he continues to act inappropriately towards women. He now has full access to the NHS, benefits and free social housing.

This is the mentality we are dealing with in Ireland this is Emmanuel Nkencho, brother of deceased George Nkencho calling for the guards who killed George to be murdered. His Words are "I want him dead whoever he was, who shot him, "I want him terminated" "contact terminated" "I want him finished" "when we find him - yummy" I though calling for a Garda to be murdered is an indictable offence, Why was Emmanuel not charged and brought to court ? Is the state afraid to bring charges ?

MacEntee has a lot to answer for during her term as MOJ she admitted that in 2023 out of 7,300 deportation orders issued only 89 people actually self deported from the country. In my opinion as soon as someone receives a deportation order all social welfare payments should be shut down as well as medical cards and anything the government supplies as well as freezing any bank accounts the person has, it is very simple cut off the money, and deport them.
