It is fact that since 1997 the “republic of Ireland”
has inflicted the following processes on its “citizens”;
-
an attempted e-voting proposal whose software developer
did not actually know how Ireland’s
voting system worked. This began in 2002 with a “trial run” at a general
election and ended only in 2009;
-
Two globalizing EU proposals (Nice and Lisbon) were defeated by the citizenry at
referenda and promptly represented ie vote until you give us the result we
want;
-
An attempt was made, defeated only by mass and occasionally
violent protest, to make water charges
compulsory be redefining a citizen as a customer of a private company;
-
Compulsory purchase was used for a private company in Mayo
and Gardai functioned hand in glove with
private security;
-
deterritorialization with a pax Americana rescinding all our land claims on every part of the
island;
-
removal of the universities from the rule of law on the
basis of a fanciful reading of the 1997 universities act, leading – as one
might expect - to abuse of scholars and
theft;
-
allowing music companies operate openly post
dissolution, coinciding with the death of the independents;
-
turning the banks into private cash cows for a new elite,
who burned through the state’s wealth once their debt was shifted to the
sovereign;
-
a quickening of corporatism, leading for example to new
hires in the health services for administrators at a time when a freeze on
hiring doctors and nurses – trained at great expense – meant there were less of
them to administer, as they emigrated;
-
failed attempts at generating IP by dint of
centralizing software in the Taoiseach’s office, and indeed music and film in
the Taoiseach’s family
-
allowing “vulture funds” insist that the householders
they evicted would still have to pay their full mortgage, while NAMA allowed
the new elite regain possession of their empires for 40c on the euro on average;
-
deliberate state intervention in the housing market
making homes unaffordable again after the 2007-2012 crash had allowed market
forces reduce them;
-
In one of the few banking crisis cases that went to
court, the defendents were found guilty but not sentenced by the judge because
he ruled that the state had ordered them to commit crimes. The agent of the
state , Neary, was never charged
-
A private company was corruptly given a monopoly on music
rights, and proceeded to privatize all of Irish music, while its chair amassed
a horde of pirated copyrights;
-
There was
attested abuse of Irish students at the universities, not responded to by the highest
authorities when put to them in the Dail, coupled with their replacement for
the elite academic jobs by foreigner.
-
When a whistleblowing Garda member revealed (inter
alia) abuse of the driving penalty points system, he was not protected; in
fact, he had allegations of penetrative sexual assault copied and pasted from
another’s file onto his and nobody has been charged for this clear fraud;
-
In an effort to get rid of academic tenure, DCU
asserted a bogus contract with fraudulent signatures by dint of an alleged “comprehensive
agreement” with the closed-shop union which the union never even discussed. 8
court case later even after recission of
an illegal disciplinary procedure, the illegal contracts are still being
asserted and the employees dubiously employed – not to mention the perpetrators
– still paid from the public purse
Finally, during unprecedented austerity, the government refused a tax windfall of E15 billion imposed on Apple for its activities in Ireland, but chose instead to appeal the verdict. when the Minister for finance resigned a year later, the money remained uncollected
