Sudanese national, Ahmed Adudu has been sentenced to seven months in prison for punching his barrister in the face during a sitting of Galway District Court.

Mr Concannon explained there was “a cultural disconnect with figures of authority” and he described his client was being “bounced around” quite a lot on his journey through Africa and all the way to Ireland.

Sergeant Aoife Curley, prosecuting, said Adudu had 15 previous convictions, including one for violent behaviour in a garda station.

Reading Dr O’Keeffe’s report, Judge Fahy noted Adudu had a propensity towards violence and there was a threat of violence towards gardai mentioned in the report.

She noted a nurse had been assaulted too but had chosen not to make a formal complaint against Adudu.

Desmond Fennell pretty much predicted what will happen with Russia and the West in his 2009 book 'Ireland After the End of Western Civilisation'

Be funny if there was a low turnout and the unionists managed to sneak it. If it became a 3 or 4 horse race and Paddy couldn't decide between which half of jedward or what dragons den host they want as Uachtarán, unionists just standing one guy for the sake of it would probably end up winning.

I'm up next. I'm up on 2 charges: Organising public protest during lockdown and ignoring lawful request of gardai.
Initial hearing this week.

Sinn Féin are going to fail in government. 👍🏻

There are two rates of jobsplus subsidy.

An employer can either be given €7,500 or €10,000 if they employ someone for two years who has been on the dole.

The different rates are dependent on the employee's age and how long they've been on the dole for.

The lower rate is also available to employers who employ someone refugee status, no other criteria attached.

So the subsidy was already discriminatory but now they're taking it a step further.

Employers will get the higher rate if the employee has a diversity factor.

Máirtín Ó Cadhain predicts the future of Ireland without the Irish language.

"If we lose the Irish language, we'll lose our native literature. We'll only have English or American literature. That will be our demise as a people. The vision that every generation of Irish people had will be at an end."

"The future looks bleak unless the Irish Language is restored. We'll be little more than a 'Little England'. It would be pointless being an independent state. It would be much better to be part of a larger state and to enjoy the economy of that larger state, rather than struggling on our own. I see no point to that. The only reason we deserve independence, I think, is that we have a unique cultural identity."

Máirtín Ó Cadhain (died 1969) summing a lot of this up in this brilliant clip about what was going on in the 1960s mindset. What he's saying here is exactly it - if we are not Irish speaking, then there's 2 options. Fight to revive it and continue the Gaelic Revival and revolution sprung from 1916-22 or disband it and instead focus on material/economic matters.

And the latter is what the Reactionary Liberals of the 1960s wanted to do. The reason I'm calling them 'Reactionary' is because they sought to overturn the advancements that the Irish Nation-State had made since 1922 (but mostly since 1932 with Dev's Fianna Fáil) in asserting itself. They rejected the idea of an 'Irish-Ireland' pushed by Griffith, Rooney, D.P Moran, Pearse, Aodh de Blácam, Connolly, A.E Russell etc.

When Ireland hit a road block in economics in the 1950s due to failure of reforming banking/currency system and failing to nourish an entrepreneurial class and reverting for the easy option of foreign capital in 1958 to stimulate the economy (then totalling relying on it) - instead of taking up the task to tackle these matters and continue the stride of the struggling Nation-State, these 'liberals' who got a taste of foreign capital and British/American media, wanted to instead reverse it all and become a 'Little England' or simply an state within some larger global body like the EEC and forget about sovereignty.

"We want nothing to do with a backward-looking idea of sovereignty." as Micheál Martin exclaims today.

They wanted the reverse of what Thomas Davis sung:
And lreland, long a province, be
A Nation once again!

No! - Reactionary Liberals don't want Ireland a Nation - they want Ireland as a mere Province.
