"Satanic rules" of surveillance may prevent future dissent as Government agrees to meet protestors

Niall Feiritear

Irish Republican James Conway has stated that alleged "Satanic" digital surveillance rules soon to be implemented by the Irish Government may prevent future protests in Ireland.

"Thank you to Christopher Duffy and all the men and women who have protested in Dublin and around the entire country of Ireland," he began.

"This is to garner more support for the protest because it is vital we do not allow a tyrannical- I do not have the words for Micheal Martin, who stood in front of the Irish People and said that in the face of thousands of Irish People going out of business in the next weeks and having no livelihoods, that there was nothing he could do and that the protestors were wrong.

"We are not wrong. You are wrong.

"But I know plenty of people have not got involved because they have doubts about people who are asking them to get involved and the first doubt that they have is ' Is this a political thing?'

"I promise on almighty God- my wife , my children, myself, the land that I stand on, that my family has bled to keep, that I will never run for political office, nor take a Government job in my life.

"Forever and if I break my word, the devil may keep me in hell for eternity.

"Tonight and tomorrow I want ye to ask yourselves questions. I want the Travelling community to ask the question: 'why were ye put off the road?'

"Why were ye put into halting sites? Why then for years did Government paint ye as itinerants and then all of a sudden, every foreigner that arrived into the country could be looked after?

"Why did they destroy the urban community and spread ye all around the country? That was the first migration. Don't forget it. The mid 2000s when they knocked everything down and moved you all around the country and broke up all those communities that had took decades to build up?

"That was the first migration in the modern iteration. If you are a Guard, you're a protector of the peace, ask yourself the question tonight: Do you stand with the Irish People or against them?

"Are you going to take out Government will on farmers and lorry drivers? For what?

"They were the very ones when ye were on with the covid nonsense, they were the very ones that kept the country going.

"If you're in the Army, ask yourself, are you going to operate as a protector of the Constitution? Or a servant of people who no longer serve the Irish People?

"And all ye Independents propping up Government at the moment, you ask yourselves the question: are you going to go down in history as the people who propped up a Government, when the entire country of Ireland was about to go bankrupt in a couple of weeks?

"Ask yourselves that question. And each and every one of you there, and I know that everyone is struggling, and I am at this protest yesterday and today, and I am going again tomorrow- it gives me no joy that I am driving off site people that I know voted this Government in....

"I know it took them a long time to realise what is going on. I do not care left, right, centre, as long as someone can say to the people that they are wholeheartedly for the Irish People. That in every decision they make they put the Irish People first....

"We are sick of these words: 'international obligations.'

"Governments throughout the years had obligations to Irish children, women, didn't bother them, the poor, the needy, didn't bother them. Never bothered them.

"Everyone was allowed to slip through the cracks. But for some un-Godly reason, our international obligations are the most important thing of the whole lot.

"Let me tell everyone, it might be the farmers today, but you are next. Each and every Irish person in Ireland, you are next. Your livelihoods.

"And when you get tight with your mortgages, who will stand with you? Who will stand with you?

"You all ask yourself some serious questions. Because if we allow this tyrannical Government run Christopher and those men from Dublin tonight or tomorrow or whenever it is, we will never get within an asses roar of blocking the capital again.

"Because they will introduce all of this digital surveillance, all of these Satanic rules. I will finish on this: Ireland is a land of musicians and poets and bards, and it was a land of writers and journalists.

'Do your jobs. For the love of God, do your jobs.

"And if you don't shed a tear for Ireland tonight....this will wind up with good young men locked up for the rest of their lives, because you wouldn't stand out on a footpath and show the government that they are putting the world before us."

Irish politician and sports star Paddy Holohan added:

"Just try to imagine for a second if the Army and the Guards stood with the people? If they were told to remove protestors and they just said 'No, we will keep the roads open, we will monitor the situation, but we are not forcefully removing them.'

"I can't image any Guard growing up said 'my job is going to be to stand against the Irish People.'

"The past years has shown us that that is what happened, the Government has bided people against them with unscientific lockdowns, restrictions on the people, and during the IPAS implementation of that billion dollar business, they turned the Garda and the people against each other.

"Surely this is the time the Garda stand up and say enough is enough. And don't be surprised when the media turn on this as well. You can see they are hand in cahoots with the Government on lockstep with whatever happens.

"They will turn and they will try to demonise these people , no doubt.

"The Government has refused to even speak to the protestors. They said they will only speak to the IRHA but a lot of the protestors are not represented by the IRHA, so you cannot speak to the people on the street?

"Does that not tell you it is one big club? Can you imagine the precedence this sends to the other industries? Fisheries? Teachers? Nurses? All the people that have protested and been shut back into a box.

"This sets an example. It needs to stay peaceful. If you know Guards, if you know Army, now is the time to reach out to them, tell them: this is not the day, this is not the time. The Government are not listening to the people and it is time that they did."

Protestor Leon Bradley stated:

"The Government want to send in the Army? Do the maths. Active personnel in Army is 8,000 and Guards is 14,000 that is maybe 21,000.

"How many hard working people on the streets, do you think 8,000 personnel from the Army and 14,000 Guards are going to remove these blockades from all over Ireland?

"Do the maths folks. Don't let them scare you."

Irish Defence Minister Jim O'Callaghan responded to the ongoing protests on RTE:

"Protestors are being manipulated and high jacked. I would urge the people- they have made their point, we have heard it, but now can they stop damaging the interests of the people in this country."

Latest: Irish Government has agreed to meet protestors at 2pm on Friday, April 10, as first reported by the Irish Inquiry.
