Plastic surgeons and orthopedic specialists from the UK are based at the Amal and Nasser hospitals in Khan Younis in the south of the territory.
Dr. Tom Potokar, a plastic surgeon specializing in burn injuries, has worked in Gaza 16 times but said this mission had revealed a level of destruction far greater than his last visit in 2023,
It is time to talk about the Out of Control Immigration. Mon Mar 31, 2025 22:12 | imc
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.

Are Humans Much Less Selfish Than We Thought? Wed Jul 16, 2025 09:00 | Noah Carl
Several economists have argued that humans are less selfish than we thought and there could be a much greater role for the state in guiding the economy. However, these arguments are based on questionable research.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6Last night Dublin City Council voted overwhelmingly to save Cedar House Homeless Unit. The Council is now seeking that the Homeless Agency reverses its decision to close the unit.
Cedar House provides services for up to 50 men per night and up to 50 men and women per day.
Services provided include: emergency accommodation, counselling, methadone maintenance programmes, personal development programmes, educational programmes, doctor/nurse access, life skills programmes, key workers, day drop in centre providing shower facilities, clean clothing, bedding and food.
The motion said:
“This Council condemns the proposed closure of Cedar House Homeless Hostel in accordance with the strategy of the Homeless Agency, “Pathway to Home”. We demand that this unit remains fully open and continues the provision of services to homeless people in our city until such time as alternative and adequate housing alternatives are put in place. An essential 20 bed dormitory is due for closure by 30th March 2010 and no adequate alternative has yet been identified and communicated. 30 individual rooms and all other services are due for cessation by 30th September 2010.”
In proposing the motion People Before Profit Councillor Brid Smith said:
“If the decision makers go ahead with planned closures of these facilities without ensuring continued and consistent access to support services many people will regress dramatically in their struggle to improve their lives. The Pathway to Home strategy can only work if there is an adequate supply of long-term housing. With 60,000 people currently on the waiting list there is clearly a shortfall . Without a guarantee of appropriate long term accommodation it is impossible for us to accept this closure”.
The motion was taken under Lord Mayors Business and was passed overwhelmingly. Councillor Smyth is now calling on the Mayor to ensure that Council officials convey the clear view of the Council to the Homeless Agency.
People Before Profit is fully committed to supporting the staff in their campaign to keep Cedar House open.
Time to recruit the pensioners , ah ye , this poxy government has crossed the line in regards to the basic human right of any
person to have a roof over their head (s) , while we , yes you and i and millions more of us are being hypnotised day in & day
out by corruption on le grande scale by the likes of that runt Cowan & his merry feel- em- fallers , aided & abeited by the
'green purty' who when they are not writing glorious begging letters to members of An Garda Siochana are busy pearing
Cowan's pencils , or ''resigning '' because they have certain baba politicians who are playing tantrums because U-RIP is
never gonna happen or Gormless Gormley 'putting it up to Cowan' ( act 5 , part 7 ) well we are really selling ourselves down
the liffey . Where doe's this shit stop , i'll tell you when it will stop , when we wake ourselves up from our snoozing siesta's
and get up off our arses and take to the streets , en masse , and rid ourselves of the most corrupt ''government'' ever to
have been elected by people who should have known better , DONT depend on Enda Kenny to intervene either as he ought
to be ran out of politics also due to the on going war of principle the people of Mayo are fighting in Kenny's back yard .
We go around our daily mundane chores chanting 'this government is no fucken use' , and do sweet fuck all to change them
preferring to console ourselves with the tried and trusted ''well who else is IN THERE thats any better'' & suck on another
cigarette to 'ease the pain ' & open up another can of piss they call lager to get by ...
People in Ireland 2010 have lost the bottle to fight for what they built , they are so thick they would gladly lend a hand to the
same gurriers who are robbing them blind because they are so comatosed they know no better .
And lest we Forget 'The Liar o'Dea' who would'nt recognise the truth if the truth was to stand beside him , attenshun .
Take to the streets and risk it all on one turn of pitch and toss , Get Cowan out & send the fucker the message to keep
his dirty filthy paws out of local survival units which are in place to assist people who have neither a roof over their head (s)
nor a key to a door to call their own , failure to organise something of significance will simply allow Cowan to 'move on' to
his next port of call , he has got to be stopped and stopped he will be if only people would WAKE UP and get organised.
Enough is Enough .
I have had enough. I want the government out...fast. Let's stage the revolution. Everyone...agree a time and place. Remember Iceland....Pots and Pans..lots of noise...don't stop. We demand change
What is happening with Cedar House? I would be interested to know. It was still open a few weeks ago, as I dropped off a donation there. What is the long term prognosis?
I would also be interested to know more details about its funding, and what rational the government are putting forward for its closure, etc.
Well having just been in the dail bar (maybe not) here’s the gruesome news according to the link below: 177 people have been arrested for so-called ‘aggressive’ begging and ‘delays’ have been experienced relocating from Cedar House. The investigative journalist cannot confirm that all the cedar house residents were accommodated during the ‘delays’ but thankfully the likes of Sean Fitzpatrick and Bertie Ahern did not have to worry about such a predicament. I’m sure the homeless were also happy about the ESB incentive announced today...or maybe not.
A country littered with empty mansions(which WE own, thanks to bailing the banks)but kids being raised in insanitary conditions as they consider how long to leave it before bulldozing them. When will Paddy discover squatting, en masse, and start rationalising mortgage repayments towards REAL values, i.e. an appropriate sum to your income. But then the bondholders would probably call NATO to put down such economic terrorism.
