It has been sensationally revealed by Paul Murphy TD in the Irish Parliament or Dáil that two major Irish anti-war groups cannot be contacted from within the Dáil.
However members (TDs) are free to contact the NATO military machine from within the chambers.
The reason is that the two blocked enties are "advocacy groups".
But NATO? Well, NATO is only a huge military block!
The information was released on the occasion of a rushed debate that seeks to slide Ireland into the ill-named Pesco. Like the similarly ill-named Partnership for Peace into which we were pushed by Parliament into NATO, Pesco is a step on the road to thrusting us into a European army.
The Dáil debate is at present ongoing. All of the passion and logic is coming from opponents of Pesco. All the clichés and faux saluting of our "peace keeping forces overseas" are coming from the supporters of Pesco.
Sadly, these include the main Opposition party, Fianna Fáil, who are propping up Fine Gael on the issue from the Opposition benches.
