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.

Private Health Conference Disrupted

Ógra activists kick up a stink

Private health conference disrupted in Dublin by Ógra activists.

Ógra Shinn Féin have today stopped 'Ireland's inaugural private healthcare conference' in the Berkeley Court Hotel. They did this through direct action protest and will read the following statement to the conference attendees;

We are here to protest against the blood sucking parasites here assembled; those who seek to make a profit from people's pain, profit from people's suffering and profit from people's fears and their ill-health. I refer to those in the so called private health industry who are here today in an attempt to further Americanize and commodify the health of the Irish people. They collude in this with our corrupt right-wing Government, which sees the enrichment of the corporate elite as preferable to the well being of the Irish people.

We in Ógra Shinn Fein believe that health is for people - not for profit! Corporations such as GE make everything from light bulbs to cars, now they wish to treat sick Irish people; as long as they have money. There is a smell in this room, the smell of corruption, the smell of greed, the smell of capitalist pigs swilling at the cash trough that the Government so willingly provides for them. The Irish people are not only paying for their health with their taxes, they are also paying with their suffering and death.

We believe that access to health care is a universal and inalienable right for all; not a privilege for the wealthy, nor should the lack of such universal provision be punishment for the poor.

Onwards towards the Socialist Republic!

This action is to attempt to stop the privatization of the Irish healthcare system by obstructing those who attempt to subvert it for profit from organizing.
Stink bombs were let off to further disrupt the proceedings beyond the tim the activists were removed.

Your message gets lost in your appeal to emotion and invective laden speeches and childish actions.

I'm sure the staff of the Berkeley Court were only too happy to clean up the mess Ógra Shinn Féin created.

Fair play to you lads, the PD's are bringing this country further down into hell of privitisation From all the example of privitisation through out the world, at best, it will keep things as they are, or at worst, it will destroy the system.
Well done lads, shows that people won't just lie down and accept things.

When people are dying on trolleys in hospital corridors I think we can safely say the system doesn't work.
