Fact check - The EU is NOT 'Europe' , Europe is a Continent
The EU or European Union is a political union of countries located on the Continent of Europe . It is NOT Europe . Europe is a 'Continent' . A giant land mass which scientists say formed some 200 million years ago when the supercontinent of Pangaea split into pieces . On the other hand , the EU was formed just 27 years ago , the 1st November 1993 to be precise when the Treaty on European Union also called Maastricht treaty came into force . Quote from treaty - "we the high contracting parties hereby establish among ourselves a european union" - Title 1 , Article A .

Why can't we do for homeless people what we do for asylum seekers
As temperatures plummet , and homeless freeze to death on streets of our capital , the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission (IHREC) , UN and various migrant rights groups under the leadership of former EU Commission Secretary Catherine Day , have produced new guidelines for the Welfare of Asylum Seekers arriving in Ireland . Under the guidelines , it is a Breach of Human rights to put an Asylum Seeker in a Hotel , the Asylum Seeker must be given their own Apartment or a House . Seven such Housing Schemes for Asylum seekers have already been put in place this year , Galway City , Rosslare , Tullamore , Ennis
Donegal and Ireland is already enriched long before Direct Provision
Donegal TD Thomas Pringle spoke recently about the cultural benefits Asylum Seekers will bring to Letterkenny on foot of a new direct provision centre in the town. While he didn't give any examples or explain what benefits exactly , as someone who has lived with a Direct Provision centre in my own town since 2006 , I can honestly say I haven't felt any cultural or societal benefits from the arrival of asylum seekers some 14 years ago . Our Country is a beautiful country enriched with its own unique culture , we have our own ancient language dating back 2,500+ years , our own ancient sports ,

anyone who holds a different opinion in Ireland is called 'far right' . We used to have great debates in Ireland up to fifteen years ago . until things noticeably started to change with uneven debating panels where only one person with a different view to government would be allowed on , then it became acceptable to have nobody at all representing a different view .
It really is sad as a country that we cant have reasoned debate without labelling people as far right , fascist , naz

A lockdown for 0.02-A release for what,for who.AND DUMBERÂ Â
Charlie, it's almost like you have my home covered with CCTV cameras :o)
I had started a couple of days ago, to write an article on the very same subject. In fact only on Saturday I had finished the research and began constructing it.
Anyway, I have to say as usual, It would have appeared poorly, or at least aged research in comparison!.. Great Job Charlie! Genuinely Great Job!.
But if this keeps up, I will have to exchange email or phone numbers to avoid duplicating in the future. LOL
glad to see someone has started a petition about this
