Would someone please come and measure the appalling air #pollution taking place right NOW at Gerrardstown, Ballyboughal. We're unable to breathe here as the stench of slurry is so bad it's entering the house with all doors and windows closed! This is extremely dangerous to health

At last nights meeting of Fingal County Council, I proposed a motion to compel Fingal County Council to release the figures relating to the number of foreign nationals currently on the local authority's social housing waiting list. A similar question asked by a Cllr from Fine Gael in 2011, when answered, found that 51% of the individuals on the housing list at the time were foreign nationals. A figure that has likely only risen after 14 more years of sustained mass immigration. Last nights motion was seconded by Aontú Cllr Gerard Sheehan, who stated that he was against the motion but wanted the issue discussed. The Labour Party Mayor reprimanded Aontú for "working with the far-right", Cllr Ellen Troy jumped in to throw Cllr Sheehan under the bus and declared that Cllr Sheehan's support of the motion being floored "wasn't Aontú", as you will see in the video that will follow. After pushing for a vote on my motion, the motion was defeated 28-1, with both Aontú Cllrs joining the government and leftist parties to prevent updated stats on numbers of foreign nationals on the housing list being released. The actions of Ellen Troy in Fingal County Council last night, as well as her willingness to throw her own party colleague under the bus when he dared to allow open discussion of the effects of mass immigration into Ireland, shows definitively that Troy and Aontú leadership are more than happy to be joined at the hip with the Irish regime. The 28-1 vote result should tell you all you need to know about who the real opposition in Ireland is. Join the National Party.

On Monday night in Fingal, councillors rezoned Dunsink, opening the land to a potential 40,000+ new residents; roughly the population of Leitrim. If those future inhabitants were locals or even people from Leitrim and if the infrastructure was ready, I might have backed the plan - yet they will not be and the council cannot say where the newcomers will come from. I voted against it because they couldn’t guarantee who the eventual inhabitants would be, coupled with the fact that little to no consideration had been given to wildlife, the ecosystem or the already established community in Finglas. The measure passed by thirty nine votes to one. This decision and many others like it flow directly from mass immigration into Ireland. That influx floods the housing market with new arrivals, makes homes scarcer for the native people and drives a speculative bubble. It creates a profitable setting for vulture funds and corporate landlords who often operate under state contracts to house a swelling foreign population. In effect, mass immigration operates as a modern plantation that replaces native Irish people with outsiders and transfers control of land and homes away from the national community. We are witnessing a vast handover of Irish territory and housing stock from Irish hands into foreign ownership. The National Party is the only party that stands in their way. We need a society where home ownership spreads as widely as possible among the Irish people. Without that spread, we face the polarisation, division and resentment that hollows out younger generations. We already see postponed family formation fewer children and serious social consequences on the horizon. High inequality and widespread dissatisfaction will erode private property rights for everyone except the super rich who stay shielded from the backlash. Remigration will reverse the alienation of Irish land from its national community. It will ease pressure on housing supply, which helps first-time Irish buyers and moves housing away from lopsided speculation toward its true purpose of supporting the next generation. There is only one pension scheme that works over the long term, and that is family formation. Getting young Irish people onto the housing ladder early remains essential for lasting economic and social stability. Restricting home ownership to Irish citizens rather than opening it to a vast global population stands as the necessary regulatory step. I recently submitted a motion inside Fingal County Council asking that all housing in the state be reserved for Irish people only, it never even made it to the floor for debate. As well as home ownership being the ideal, there should be a safety net of social housing available solely to native Irish people. Sustainable welfare systems demand high levels of national solidarity something that weakens when the system stretches to serve ever larger numbers of non natives. Irelands housing, land and future must serve the Irish people and the Irish people alone. The National Party will deliver a government that will do just that.

🇮🇪🚨 The Irish Dáil [Parliament] started again today after their summer break and the first thing that happened was a speech from €263,000-a-year plus expenses Ceann Comhairle Verona Murphy, demanding new laws to clamp down on free speech on X. The more damage to Irish society that the Irish Government [Fine Gael & Fianna Fáil] does to Ireland, the more they call for authoritarian behaviour and the cancellation of free speech and debate. Everything these politicians do now is linked to making Ireland a more authoritarian state and to removing our speech and freedoms. Meanwhile, Irish demographics have collapsed. The housing crisis is the worst in the history of the Irish State. It has become incredibly difficult to find places to rent and buy. The immigration crisis is now a complete open-border crisis. Violent crime by migrants is up. They are just not listening to Irish people anymore and are treating us as the problem. There are not enough prisons, hospitals, power stations, or other critical infrastructure. The Irish indigenous economy is weak. Government spending under FG & FF has exploded and we would be running at multi year deficits if they had to rely on the Irish indigenous economy. The US multinational is keeping Ireland on life support, and Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil desperately need to keep these foreign companies staffed with migrant employees. Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil are funding and controlling mainsteam media who are gaslighting and pumping out State propaganda. FG & FF are funding a huge NGO industry in Ireland who behave like a shadow Government. Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil are to blame for all of this.

SOKOTO–BADAGRY SUPER HIGHWAY: TURNING A DECADES-OLD VISION INTO REALITY For decades, the idea of a major highway linking Nigeria’s North-West to the South-West remained largely a vision. Today, that vision is taking physical shape. The 1,068-kilometre Sokoto–Badagry Super Highway is one of the most ambitious infrastructure projects being pursued by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu administration under the Renewed Hope Agenda. The significance of this project goes far beyond the construction of another road. It is about connecting markets, opening up agricultural communities, strengthening regional trade, improving mobility and creating a strategic economic corridor between the North and the South. The highway will run from Illela in Sokoto State, near the Niger Republic border, through Kebbi, Niger, Kwara and Oyo States, before reaching Badagry in Lagos. And the work is already visible. In Kebbi State, which hosts the longest stretch of the project at approximately 258 kilometres, construction is progressing with concrete pavement, earthworks, drainage and other major engineering works. As of May 2026, 19 kilometres of concrete pavement had been completed, while Sections 2A and 2B had reached approximately 40% and 16% completion respectively. In Sokoto State, work is also progressing on a 120-kilometre section from Illela, forming the northern end of this strategic corridor. What makes the project particularly significant is its design. The Federal Government says the corridor incorporates concrete pavement technology, CCTV surveillance and street lighting, with the aim of delivering a road that is not only durable, but safer and more economically transformative. For the North-West, the potential impact is enormous. Agricultural products such as rice, tomatoes and onions can move more efficiently to markets. Farmers can gain easier access to equipment and commercial centres. Traders can move goods across regions with greater speed, while communities along the corridor can become more connected to wider economic opportunities. There is also a wider agricultural dimension. Government officials have linked the corridor to irrigation infrastructure and dams that can support year-round farming and food production, strengthening the economic potential of communities along the route. This is why the Sokoto–Badagry project matters. President Tinubu did not simply inherit a road project and leave it on paper. His administration reviewed the design and masterplan, made adjustments, awarded contracts and moved the project into active construction. The project may take time to complete, but the most important fact is this: A vision that remained unrealised for decades is now being built on the ground. From Sokoto to Badagry, Nigeria is building a new economic connection between the North and the South. The vision was old. The construction is happening now. Renewed Hope. Building the connections that move Nigeria forward.

It’s actually happening New York passed The "COPA Act” and will force sales of certain personal properties to the government and NGOs New York Councilwoman Vickie Paladino actually speaks out against it and confirms they will steal homes “Absolutely ridiculous and shameful, shame, shame on all of you” “In regard to what we're just talking about now, COPA, how wrong can a person be or a body of a government be when we start to take the individual rights away from the homeowner, whether it's a two family house, three family house, four family house, what does it matter? The fact is the person owns the home, they have the right to sell the home to whomever they please. The idea that we have to consult with the building department and give a six month period of time for someone else to make an offer is absolutely outrageous. And to say it's government overreach is 100% true. This is absolutely maniacal.” “I do not understand how this body works when it comes to individual citizens of this city. This is overreach at its very best. I'm a homeowner, and no one is going to tell me or anybody else I know that's worked so damn hard to own a three or a four family home that I have to submit the ability to sell my house first to the building department and then offer it up to a non-for-profit when my neighbor across the street may want to buy it.” “Absolutely ridiculous and everybody in this room should be terribly embarrassed — Absolutely ridiculous and shameful, shame, shame on all of you”

My graphic illustrates the high number of vacant and derelict properties in Dublin City. It also shows 4,666 entire houses or apartments currently listed for short-term letting on the Airbnb platform, with a total of 18,649 across Ireland. By the way, the red blocks in my graphic represent some of the derelict and vacant sites in Dublin City, while the red houses represent Airbnb short-term rentals. The graphic also highlights a new housing development at Fosterstown Place in Swords where Ryanair purchased 25 out of 28 homes. Ireland's housing system is dysfunctional and not fit for purpose as it fails to deter vulture funds from bulk buying properties that could be homes for individual buyers. On May 20, 2021, the Irish Government introduced a 10% stamp duty on bulk purchases of residential houses. This measure aimed to discourage large-scale acquisitions by investors and vulture funds. This is one of the reasons why the housing system is broken in Ireland. Ryanair cabin crew salaries in Ireland are notably lower than those of their counterparts at other airlines. Their pay ranges from €17,000 to €29,000, depending on flight hours and additional bonuses. The average salary for cabin crew across Ireland is approximately €2,120 per month or €25,400 annually, indicating that Ryanair's pay is about 15% lower than the national average for flight attendants. It's worth mentioning that Michael O'Leary's current salary stands at €1.2 million—about €49,271 per month. His total compensation package could reach up to €4.7 million, depending on performance bonuses. O'Leary's net worth, primarily derived from his shareholding in Ryanair, is estimated at around €700 million. It's no wonder Ryanair staff struggle to afford average rent in Dublin. Last January, the airline purchased 25 out of 28 homes in a new housing development at Fosterstown Place in Swords. Ryanair stated that these properties were acquired to accommodate staff who work at Dublin Airport. However, to make matters worse, 18 of these homes are sitting empty—six months after the developer completed them. Homelessness in Ireland has reached another new record high, with 14,760 people homeless and relying on emergency accommodation, including 4,561 children from 2,133 families, according to the latest figures released by the Department of Housing. The Government failed to meet its social and affordable housing targets by 2,680 homes last year and significantly underestimated the number of houses needed to be built annually by 17,000. It's widely accepted that Ireland requires up to 50,000 additional houses each year; however, the government's "Housing for All" plan only aims to build an average of 33,000. The Housing for All plan, launched by the Irish government in September 2021, is their housing strategy aimed at addressing the country's housing crisis. However, since its implementation, statistics have revealed alarming trends: • Total homelessness increased by 74%, from 8,475 to 14,760. • Homeless adults increased by 66%, from 6,131 to 10,199 . • Homeless children increased by 95%, from 2,344 to 4,561. The 2022 Census shows that the country has 166,752 vacant homes and 66,135 empty holiday homes. Notably, nearly a third of these vacant homes (48,387) have been unoccupied since 2016. Predictably, rent has doubled over the past 13 years and house prices have surged by 55%, marking the fastest growth in any major EU economy. Average rents have soared by 43% compared to pre-Covid levels, with Dublin rents now averaging €2,476. In the capital, a typical three-bed semi-detached home costs €517,333. The average house price in Dublin is rising by €469 per week. To purchase a new home in Dublin priced around €395,000, a first-time buyer typically needs an annual income of at least €77,142 and must also have a minimum deposit of 10%, amounting to around €39,500. This financial barrier helps explain why an estimated 10,600 people left Ireland to live in Australia last year, up from 4,700 the previous year—a staggering 126% increase. This marks the highest level of emigration to Australia since 2013. Currently, vulture funds own 1 in 6 mortgages in the Irish housing market, while cuckoo funds and the State purchase 42% of new homes. This situation has led to a record number of first-time buyers competing for the smallest supply of housing stock in over a decade. Nationally, just over 11,000 homes are available for purchase, a stark contrast to 2012 when 60,000 homes were on the market. A garda and a nurse with a combined salary of €89,000 cannot afford a three-bedroom semi-detached house in greater Dublin. To add to the crisis, the income needed to buy a new home in Dublin is €127,000, which surpasses even a TD's basic salary of €108,987. Consequently, 68% of people in their late 20s still live with their parents, a figure that is nearly 26% higher than the EU average of 42.1%. #Dublin #Ireland #HousingCrisis #DerelictIreland #homeless #Airbnb #GE2024 #Ryanair #HousingForAll

BREAKING: Christian barrister blocked from practicing in Irish courts - Senior Counsel runs away when questioned on transgenderism. Martina and Ammi Burke today visited the Ploughing Championships in Co. Laois. The Bar of Ireland were present at the show for the first time, with a prominent message of ‘inclusion’ and welcome for all. The Burkes attended however to question The Bar of Ireland on the ongoing exclusion of Simeon Burke from acquiring a Master and thereafter practicing at the Bar. Simeon is the brother of teacher Enoch Burke who is in Mountjoy Prison for refusing to accept transgender ideology. Simeon was called to the Bar last year. He graduated from Cambridge University in 2022. The Bar Council has stated to the Legal Services Regulatory Authority (LSRA), a statutory body, that "every pupil is assured of a master" (2018) and that "there are enough masters for pupils" (2021). Simeon Burke has sought a master for the last two years. The Bar Council, in contradiction to its statements above to the government, has refused to provide assistance to Simeon Burke. At The Bar of Ireland booth the Burkes met Michael O'Connor SC, a senior barrister. Martina Burke explained to him the situation regarding her son and asked him whether people who don't endorse transgenderism are welcome at the Bar. O’Connor replied that he didn't know and subsequently fled out of the tent. The Burkes also spoke to Ingrid Miley, former RTE correspondent and current Junior Counsel. Ms Miley refused to answer questions and fled out of the tent surrounded by security. Ms Miley was subsequently bundled into a van which left the scene at a high speed. The Bar of Ireland declares itself to be "committed to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion". This is a mockery when it simultaneously condones the ongoing exclusion from legal practice in the Courts of a highly-qualified law student who will not endorse transgenderism. The Bar of Ireland is not welcoming to anyone who will not accept transgender ideology.

My graphic illustrates the large number of vacant and derelict properties in Dublin City. It also shows the 4,666 entire houses or apartments currently listed for short-term letting on the Airbnb platform, with a total of 18,649 across Ireland. Landowners owe councils €50 million as 90% of vacant site levies go unpaid. Intended to prevent land hoarding and accelerate housing development, only €138,335 of €9.6 million owed in 2022 was collected. Thirteen of 31 local authorities issued no demands, and of the 18 that did, only four collected any money. Dublin City Council imposed nearly €4.9 million in levies but collected nothing. The prolonged dereliction of properties should be considered social vandalism, a crime against the state and the common good. An effective vacant and derelict tax, coupled with a compulsory sales order, could dissuade landlords from hoarding land, particularly sites that have been vacant and derelict for an extended period. Homelessness in Ireland has reached another new record high, with 14,760 people homeless and relying on emergency accommodation, including 4,561 children from 2,133 families, according to the latest figures released by the Department of Housing.

We are excited to announce the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Global Gases Group, led by Mr. Deepak Mehta, to establish gas plants for the production of liquefied medical oxygen in Nigeria. This collaboration aims to ensure a steady and reliable supply of high-quality medical oxygen across the country. This partnership is a game changer for Nigeria and the subregion and directly aligns with the Nigeria Health Sector Renewal Investment Initiative (#NHSRII) and the President’s Bola Ahmed Tinubu Government of Nigeria Executive Order to unlock the healthcare value chain. The planned facilities, each capable of producing 100 tons per day, will be strategically located in 3 urban clusters located in North and South of Nigeria in the first phase. This will ensure that medical oxygen is accessible to a broader population, meeting both current and future demands. The MoU outlines several key commitments from both parties. Global Gases Group (GGG) will complete feasibility studies and business case development, invest in technology, gas storage and distribution infrastructure, and provide necessary training and development for the project. Utilizing cryogenic air separation technology, these plants will offer a sustainable, affordable, accessible, and scalable (SAAS) solution for medical-grade oxygen production. This technology provides higher purity levels (>99.5%) and reliability compared to traditional methods. The project will also lay the groundwork for a more resilient and responsive healthcare system capable of withstanding future challenges such as pandemics. Importantly, it will contribute to local skill development and job creation. Reflecting on the #Covid_19 pandemic, many Nigerians and CEDEAO_ECOWAS citizens suffered due to severe oxygen shortages. We extend our heartfelt thanks to the leadership of Global Gases and Dr. Abdul Mukhtar Abdu Mukhtar of the Presidential Value Chain Initiative (PVAC) for their pivotal roles in making this partnership a reality.

San Bernardino County Fire and CAL FIRE Partner on Front Country Fuel Reduction Project SAN BERNARDINO, CA — The San Bernardino County Fire Protection District, assisted by CAL FIRE, began Phase 1 of the North San Bernardino Front Country Fuel Reduction Project. This proactive wildfire mitigation effort is designed to reduce fire risk and improve protection for communities along the northern edge of the City of San Bernardino. The project will establish a 50-foot-wide fuel break extending approximately one mile from Highway 18 west to Devils Canyon. Crews will be removing vegetation and reducing available fuels that could contribute to wildfire growth and spread. Historically, several significant wildfires have originated in this area and threatened homes and neighborhoods throughout North San Bernardino. The construction of this fuel break will help slow the spread of future wildfires, improve firefighter access, and provide an additional layer of protection for residents and property. Work on the project is expected to take approximately one to two weeks to complete. Residents may see firefighting personnel, equipment, and vegetation removal operations occurring throughout the project area during this time. While this project represents an important investment in wildfire preparedness, San Bernardino County Fire reminds residents that the threat of wildfire exists year-round. There is no better time than now for homeowners to create and maintain defensible space around their homes by removing dead vegetation, clearing combustible materials, and following recommended fire-safe landscaping practices. For more information on defensible space and wildfire preparedness, visit Date: June 22, 2026 Location: San Bernardino, CA Media Contact: Christopher Prater, Public Information Officer, [email protected]/(909) 665-2383

Today in Edo Central, Practical Governance was on full display. I began the day inspecting progress at the site of the Edo State College of Nursing, Health Sciences and Technology in Udomi—a visionary project signed just last month. I am pleased to report that work has commenced in earnest, and we are on course for its timely completion and commissioning. This institution will play a vital role in strengthening our healthcare and human capital development agenda. From there, I proceeded to inspect the newly completed 2.5MVA injection sub-station in Udomi, Esan Central LGA—an electrification project that fulfills a major campaign promise. With this infrastructure, over six communities including Udomi I, Ujabhole I, Unogbo, Idimoghodor, Ibhioloulu, and Afuda will enjoy reliable power supply for the first time in decades. This is more than electricity; it's a spark of hope and economic empowerment for thousands. I wrapped up the day assessing remedial works on the Benin-Ekpoma Road, a critical route for commerce and movement across our state. Easing the burden of traffic on this corridor is essential, and we are making real progress. I thank the Edo State House of Assembly for their support in actualizing the College of Nursing and Health Science, and I commend our technical partners, including BEDC, for working with us to deliver power to our people.

Ireland's housing system is in a state of disrepair, primarily due to ineffective Government policies. My graphic illustrates the large number of vacant and derelict properties in Dublin City. It also shows the 4,666 entire houses or apartments currently listed for short-term letting on the Airbnb platform, with a total of 18,649 across Ireland. According to the Department of Housing, 9,671 adults and a record 4,170 children found themselves in emergency accommodation last month.
