Digital ID Warning!. Una McGurk, Senior Counsel, with a powerful message calling on people to join together to RESIST the Irish government's plans to implement mandatory Digital ID through the back door. The government have already announced plans to put legislation in place later in 2026 to link Digital ID with social media. It is up to the Irish people to join as a collective force and push back with all our might to STOP the government in their tracks. We did it against the Hate Speech Bill. We did it against the Referendum. We achieved the highest ever recorded spoilt votes in the history of Ireland, and indeed Europe. We CAN do it again. Digital ID is the line we must not cross or forever regret it. Join Una McGurk in campaigning to push back against the government's attempts to implement a dystopian surveillance Digital ID society through the back door, whereby your every movement will be monitored, traced, tracked and controlled. #NoDigitalID

Maria Steen eloquently destroys Micheál Martin and the government's false assertion that Constitutional change will not bring about changes to legislation in areas such as succession law, immigration law, social welfare law and so forth. Legislation can be amended and overhauled by the government. The government are under a duty to ensure that existing and new legislation does not conflict with our Constitution. Legislation is open to challenge in the courts if Constitutional changes are implemented that conflict with current laws. Indeed, by removing Article 41.2 mothers are left at the mercy of successive governments who can reduce or erode protections and benefits so that she can care for her children at home, as enshrined in our Constitution. We should be fighting for MORE rights for mothers to care for their children at home, NOT cancel those rights as enshrined in our Constitution. Extending the definition of a family to a 'durable relationship' will have a significant impact on existing and new legislation. Do NOT trust the government. #VoteNoNo

Give credit where credit is due 👏. If it was not for Senior Counsel Una McGurk's brilliant expose that An Garda Siochana do not record statistics on ethnicity and nationality on PULSE, this issue would never have seen the light of day. Una McGurk was the first person to publicly highlight that the CSO do NOT publish statistics on immigration and crime because An Garda Siochana do not record statistics on ethnicity and nationality as a mandatory field. At a Press Conference to launch the Womens Coalition on Immigration in Dublin on 2nd December 2025, Una McGurk launched a public campaign to call on the Irish people to hold the Minister for Justice and the Garda Commissioner to account by demanding that there is an urgent review of the mandatory fields on PULSE, so that ethincity and nationality are recorded. As a result of Una McGurk's trojan work the government have been forced into a position of announcing that they intend to change the PULSE system to record ethnicity and nationality.

#NoDigitalID In a Digital ID CBDC surveillance society the establishment would freeze the bank accounts of the Irish hauliers, truckers and farmers with a flick of a switch. "Immediately cease blockades of national infrastructure or face the full rigours of the law."

Labour Councillor Darragh Moriarty is stepping on dangerous territory by demanding that Dublin City Council stamp out the right of Irish people to raise our own national flag. The fact that he is calling for Tricolours to be removed that have been "put up with hateful intent" is a direct attack on our right to freely express our national identity by flying our national flag. Where is the evidence that the flags were put up with "hateful intent*?. Does Councillor Moriarty consider himself to be part of the Thought Police?. Does he believe that raising our national flag should be classified a "hate crime"?. This appears to be where he is going and unless we push back we could soon witness the banning of our national flag in public places. Councillor Moriarty appears to think that raising our national flag is "borrowed" from English nationalism. How did he reach this patronising anti-Irish conclusion?. The same Labour who only last year publicly announced that they were "proud" to see the Palestinian flag raised in Leinster House. What we are witnessing is a full-frontal attack on anything Irish. Dublin City Council need to be reminded that the Irish people have a right to raise our national flag and that any attack on our freedom of expression and national identity will be contested. The locals of Coolock, Ballyfermot, Finglas and the north and south inner city have NOT contravened any law in raising our national flag in their communities. The only thing Dublin City Council can come up with is that they did not get written permission from the Public Lighting Services before they erected the flags. We have no doubt that many flags have been erected throughout Dublin city without obtaining such written person from the Public Lighting Services in advance, without issue. What we are watching in Ireland is the acceleration of the regime's anti-Irish agenda, whereby any expression of our national identity is being vilified and condemned as "far,-right" by the same left liberals who want to destroy our country.

WARRIOR Paddy Holohan calls out the illusion of democracy in Ireland 👏 Independent Councillor Paddy Holahan publicly exposes the UNDEMOCRATIC and RESTRICTIVE presidential election process at South Dublin City Council's meeting for the selection of candidates. Paddy Holohan calls on the people of Ireland to use this presidential election as a platform to campaign for the 1998 Oireachtas Committee recommendation to be implemented so that the people of Ireland have the right to elect their preferred candidate of choice, through popular nomination of 10,000 votes.

IRELAND TO BECOME TESTING GROUND IN EUROPE FOR CHINESE-STYLE DIGITAL ID LINKED TO SOCIAL MEDIA Independent Councillor Paddy Holohan with an important message. If there is one thing you resist in 2026, resist the government's plan to link Digital ID to social media. If they get this over the line, we will be transposed into a totalitarian surveillance society in Ireland whereby everything you do online can be monitored, tracked and traced back to your Public Services Card and PPS number. This is wide open to abuse by successive governments and could be used to implement a social credit system, where your access to social welfare benefits and right to work could be restricted if you step out of line. As Paddy rightly says, the government are attempting to instil in the psyche of the people that this is all about the protection of children. The thinking people of Ireland know that the government have demonstrated time and time again that they do NOT care about the welfare of children. They are only using this to try to curb resistance to their dystopian plans to take away our fundamental right to freedom of expression and privacy. RESIST. #NoDigitalID

"The Government will set out to break the haulage protest, not because they’re wrong but because they’re setting an example to all the other industries of what is possible! Shining a light on the inept Irish government and highlighting that the actual power lays with the people and their refusal to comply! Calling all @gardainsta and @irishdefenceforces to refuse to be used against the people, history has its eyes on you 🇮🇪 Contact any Gardai you know, Soldiers you know - they are our sons, daughter’s & neighbours! Surely the time is now!" Paddy Holohan #peopletogether #ireland

Ireland does NOT record statistics on nationality and crime. Una McGurk, Senior Counsel, in this brilliant exposé explains WHY the CSO do NOT publish statistics on crime and nationality in Ireland, unlike other EU countries. Speaking at a Press Conference to launch the Womens Coalition on Immigration in Dublin on 2nd December, she explains that the CSO use An Garda Siochana's PULSE system to publish statistics on crime. PULSE records incidents of crime from arrest to court conviction. An Garda Siochana do NOT record nationality as a mandatory field on PULSE. The reason for this is a 2017 Expert Group Report on Recording Crime which did NOT recommend that nationality be recorded as An Garda Siochana did not have the legislative basis to require a suspect to provide this information. Una highlights that An Garda Siochana DO have a legislative basis to require a suspect to provide information on nationality under an EU Directive on Law Enforcement (2016), which was transposed into Irish law in 2018. This provides law enforcement agencies with the legal basis to collect data on a suspect's nationality and ethnicity for purposes of crime detection, investigation and prosecution. It is now 7 years since the publication of the Expert Group's report on Recording Crime Statistics on PULSE and the Irish government have STILL not applied the law so that An Garda Siochana record nationality as a mandatory field on PULSE. Una CALLS on the Irish people to hold the Minister for Justice and the Garda Commissioner to account by demanding that there is an urgent review of the mandatory fields on PULSE and, moreover, to apply the law which DOES enable the Gardai to record details of the nationality and ethnicity of ALL suspects. This is the only way to ensure Transparency and Accountability so that measures can be put in place to protect the safety of the Irish People ( and especially women and children).

And I say to my people’s masters: Beware, Beware of the thing that is coming, beware of the risen people, Who shall take what ye would not give. Did ye think to conquer the people, Or that Law is stronger than life and than men’s desire to be free? We will try it out with you, ye that have harried and held, Ye that have bullied and bribed, tyrants, hypocrites, liars! - PH Pearse

Ireland to be the testing ground in Europe for Chinese-style mandatory Digital ID to access social media. Tánaiste Simon Harris trying to push the narrative that the government's plan to link Digital ID to social media access is necessary to protect the welfare of children. Any thinking person knows the reality is that this is about absolute control and surveillance of every aspect of your life. By connecting social media to Digital ID means that every web page access could be traced back to a specific holder of a Public Services Card in Ireland. This is the start of a digital prison. The EU is in the process of implementing a European Central Bank digital euro. If we go along with this we will be transposed into a CBDC Digital ID cashless society whereby your every financial transaction will be controlled, monitored, traced and tracked. The plan by the Irish government to link Digital ID to access social media is already underway. Social media platforms in Ireland have been contacted by the government to take part in a pilot to be rolled out in March and the government have already announced they intend to put in place legislation later this year to get their dystopian plans over the line. We must RESIST this sinister plan to get mandatory Digital ID through the back door. What is to stop successive governments from implementing a social credit system if you say something online that is against the narrative of the establishment?. Your social welfare benefits and right to work could be restricted by this massive government overreach, if you step out of line. If we do not RESIST this with all our might we face the end of humanity as we know it. A digital prison surveillance planet whereby the global corporations, governments and Bankers have complete control over every aspect of our lives. It is up to us to push back against these draconian plans with all our might. We defeated the government's Referendum. We staved off the controversial Hate Speech 'thought police' Bill. We secured the highest ever spoilt votes in Irish history and, indeed, in Europe. We CAN defeat this attack on our fundamental rights and freedoms IF we join as a cohesive force against the government's plans for a Chinese-style dystopian surveillance society. We owe it to future generations to push back with all our might. #NoDigitalID

The fact that these festival revellers at Electric Picnic actually believe that "we can say whatever we want in Ireland" is what is incredible. We can say whatever we want, as long as it is NOT the truth about what is happening in our own country. If you say the truth about Ireland you are labelled "far right", villified and cancelled. Just like Kneecap did when they signed a letter to cancel the Mise Éire festival. Kneecap do NOT stand for free speech. Their brainwashed followers are so conditioned by mainstream mass media that they actually believe that Kneecap are 'rebels'. Kneecap are part of the establishment masquerading as 'rebels'. This is precisely why they were given a platform at Electric Picnic.

The government are deliberately HIDING the truth about crime and immigration by NOT recording the facts. Una McGurk Senior Counsel, speaking at the Women's Coalitiion Press Conference in Dublin, in this brilliant expose calls upon the Irish people to take action NOW to demand that changes are made to An Garda Síochána's PULSE system so that nationality and ethnicity are recorded as mandatory fields. PULSE is the system used to record criminal offences from investigation to arrest to conviction. The nationality and ethnicity of suspects are NOT presently recorded as a mandatory field by An Garda Síochána. This is why the Central Statistics Office do NOT publish statistics on immigration and crime. It is up to the Irish people to join as a cohesive force and demand that the Minister for Justice and Garda Commissioner make it mandatory for nationality and ethnicity to be recorded on PULSE, to safeguard the Irish people. As Una highlights the Irish people have a right to a transparent criminal justice system. How can the Irish people be protected if the government are concealing the facts on immigration and crime, by not recording them?. The Irish people have a right to know the TRUTH.

"The system has been hiding the nationality of suspected offenders which is essential data. We cannot protect Irish people unless there is full transparency in our criminal justice system" Una McGurk, Senior Counsel. In this interview with Maria Maynes from gript Una highlights how nationality and ethnicity are not recorded as a mandatory field on An Garda Siochana’s PULSE system, which is why the CSO do not currently publish data on migration and crime: "This is authorised under law by the Data Protection Act 2018. The law has been in place now for the last seven years and has not been acted on, to the detriment of the Irish people and the Irish criminal justice system". Una calls on the Garda Commissioner, the Minister for Justice and the CSO to URGENTLY review PULSE so that nationality and ethnicity are recorded as a mandatory field. Other EU countries including Denmark and Sweden record and publish the facts on the correlation between migration and crime but NOT Ireland. The Irish people have a right to know the facts.

"YOU CAN'T STIFLE DEBATE" Stephen Rea, Actor. The HYPOCRISY of Stephen Rea signing the petition to cancel the Mise Éire festival. Stephen Rea did the voice over of Gerry Adams during the Section 31 censorship restrictions under the Broadcasting Act, which banned Sinn Féin from the airwaves. In an interview he explained his reasons for agreeing to do the voice over of Gerry Adams: "That's the stupidity of a ban like that, you can't stifle debate. If people want to talk, you should let them talk because that's how things move on..." "..it was pro democracy..". #StephenRea is yet another establishment figure masquerading as an Irish Nationalist.

🔴 IRISH GESTAPO INCOMING SINCE 2020 in particular, we have witnessed a massive overreach on the part of many members of An Garda Siochana in exercising their "powers" under legislation like the Criminal Justice (Public Order) Act 1994. We have seen them make demands that are outwith their legislative authority, accosting and arresting Irish citizens simply for exercising their rights of assembly and expression, and assaulting innocent Irish citizens in the name of "public order". Their tyrannical and often thuggish behaviour has demonstrated that there are a large number of Garda members that cannot be trusted. Instead of holding these Garda members accountable for their actions and reigning them in to respect the fundamental rights of the Irish people, the Garda Ombudsman's office has shown itself to be unfit for purpose, and the State has decided to give them even more legislative authority in the Garda Síochána (Powers) Bill 2026; An outrageously intrusive and dystopian piece of legislation, as can be seen in this slide show of some of its content. And let us also not forget that in January of 2024, the State passed the Policing, Security and Community Safety Act 2024, under which "the Garda Commissioner may, AT THE REQUEST OF THE CHIEF CONSTABLE: (a) appoint a member of the Police Service of Northern Ireland as a member of An Garda Síochána of a rank not above that of superintendent for a period not exceeding 3 years, or (b) subject to the approval of the Board, appoint such a member of the Police Service of Northern Ireland as a member of An Garda Síochána of a rank of Assistant Garda Commissioner or chief superintendent for such period. Why would the Chief Constable of the PSNI request that members of his police force serve as high ranking members of An Garda Síochána? Why is the State trying to create a Gestapo style police force in Ireland? IT IS TIME TO STAND UP! Contact all so-called "public representatives" NOW and demand that they stand against this draconian Bill. DO NOT make it easy for them. Silence is no longer an option. 🇮🇪 👇👇👇

It is hard to fathom why there was such an angry reaction from one of the organisers of the silent rally in Ballaghadereen, Co. Roscommon to the question posed by Philip Dwyer as to what the cause is of the rise in violent crime and anti-social behaviour in the area. It would appear that the focus of some, aside from the evident and welcomed intent to show solidarity with the latest victim and his family, is to be on more gardai in the town, while ignoring the elephant in the room. But how many people from that area does he actuàlly speak for?
