The Irish Constitution acknowledges the right to life of the unborn. Direct and intentional killing of unborn child through abortion is always wrong. A “sunset clause” or anything that betrays the innocent must be rejected. We stand firmly against the spilling of innocent blood through abortion. Let’s continue to pray and act accordingly to stop the shedding of innocent blood in Ireland.

NICK WEBB BUSINESS EDITOR – 14 APRIL 2013
Environment Minister Phil Hogan and some of his departmental advisers clocked up bills of €133,000 jetting around the world – including €800 for a lunch in a Rio de Janeiro restaurant specialising in 'exotic birds and alligator'.
Environment Minister Phil Hogan and some of his departmental advisers clocked up bills of €133,000 jetting around the world – including €800 for a lunch in a Rio de Janeiro restaurant specialising in 'exotic birds and alligator'.
Mr Hogan and his advisers have flown the equivalent of four-and-a-half times around the globe, staying in plush hotels and resting up between flights in airport business lounges, according to documents obtained by the Sunday Independent. As they visited far-off lands in a bid to help save the environment, it has been estimated that the CO2 emissions belched out by the flights are bigger than the entire output of an island with a population of 7,000 people.
Mr Hogan, who is fronting the introduction of the hated property tax, has been out of the country 31 times since becoming Environment Minister two years ago.
His travels for conferences and meetings on behalf of the Government have taken him to Shanghai, Rio de Janeiro, Durban in South Africa and Nairobi in Kenya, as well as New York, Paris and Rome.
"The minister and the department are very aware of the costs incurred due to business conducted abroad. These trips are undertaken as part of the normal business agenda of the department and the size of delegations (which, in the main, comprise officials of the department rather than advisers, as stated) and the costs are kept to an absolute minimum at all times," according to Mr Hogan's department.
"Economy flights are the norm and 95 per cent plus of these trips have been economy class," according to a department spokesman. "Trips abroad are kept to a minimum and the minister only travels abroad on official business. The need to keep carbon emissions to a minimum is always a priority."

Spy Planes in Galway!
Barroughter & Clonmoylan Bogs Action Group
“This type of Cessna plane is used by the NPWS every day of the week to spy on our people as they go about their work. We have recorded this plane flying NINE times a day over our bogs and private homes.
To fly this plane, with a crew and 2 NPWS on board costs €1,200 per hour. It flies 12 hours a day over our people at a daily cost of €14,400. This is a weekly cost of €100,800.”
NPWS ‘Rangers’ and the Black and Tans!
Two photographs of scenes from the 2006 film, The Wind That Shakes the Barley. A modern day type of Black and Tan is trying to intimidate people in Galway. These ‘rangers’ are doing the dirty work of the European Union and trying to make criminals out of rural Irish people.
Turf cutting is under attack, a rural way of life is under attack, Tradition is under attack. You have spy planes flying over homes of people.
With turf to be cut, it is necessary to keep these ‘rangers’ out of your private property. There are laws against trespass and a God given and constitutional right to private property.
As shown in Loughrea on Wednesday, people still have common sense, the common sense and conviction to stand up for what is right and oppose what is wrong.

Support the four turf-cutters in Galway on 28th May
Coverage is given in the 12th April edition of The Connacht Tribune, the main regional newspaper in County Galway. A point to highlight is the aerial monitoring of bogs in South East Galway, which has increased in recent weeks.
With the four men, who are not criminals, back in court in Galway on 28th May, you are encouraged to travel to Galway on the day for a solidarity gathering. Do tell your friends about it and make the effort to support the men on the 28th.
The following is important information
Preamble:
CONSTITUTION OF IRELAND
In the Name of the Most Holy Trinity, from Whom is all authority and to Whom, as our final end, all actions both of men and States must be referred,
We, the people of Éire,
Humbly acknowledging all our obligations to our Divine Lord, Jesus Christ, Who sustained our fathers through centuries of trial,
Gratefully remembering their heroic and unremitting struggle to regain the rightful independence of our Nation,
And seeking to promote the common good, with due observance of Prudence, Justice and Charity, so that the dignity and freedom of the individual may be assured, true social order attained, the unity of our country restored, and concord established with other nations,
Do hereby adopt, enact, and give to ourselves this Constitution.
Article 6
1. All powers of government, legislative, executive and judicial, derive, under God, from the people, whose right it is to designate the rulers of the State and, in final appeal, to decide all questions of national policy, according to the requirements of the common good.
The Family
Article 41
1. 1° The State recognises the Family as the natural primary and fundamental unit group of Society, and as a moral institution possessing inalienable and imprescriptible rights, antecedent and superior to all positive law.
2° The State, therefore, guarantees to protect the Family in its constitution and authority, as the necessary basis of social order and as indispensable to the welfare of the Nation and the State.
Private Property
Article 43
1. 1° The State acknowledges that man, in virtue of his rational being, has the natural right, antecedent to positive law, to the private ownership of external goods.
2° The State accordingly guarantees to pass no law attempting to abolish the right of private ownership or the general right to transfer, bequeath, and inherit property.
2. 1° The State recognises, however, that the exercise of the rights mentioned in the foregoing provisions of this Article ought, in civil society, to be regulated by the principles of social justice.
2° The State, accordingly, may as occasion requires delimit by law the exercise of the said rights with a view to reconciling their exercise with the exigencies of the common good.

Hundreds gather in support of the four turf-cutters in Loughrea
Earlier today, hundreds of people gathered in Loughrea, Co. Galway to show support for the four men, who were back in court. After the short court hearing, those assembled, marched through the town. There was fantastic support from local people and Kerry and the midland counties were well represented.
You are encouraged to attend the court in Galway on 28th May. http://www.galwaynews.ie/31043-turfcutters-be-tried-galway-circuit-court-may
This attempt to criminalise the four men is an attack on home and hearth, an attack on an Irish way of life and tradition, an attack on rural Ireland.
