The film looks at inner city tenements, a proposed high rise scheme in Ballymun and the difficulties encountered by those seeking houses in Dublin. The report includes interviews with young families trying to get homes including a couple who have been forced to live in a caravan. One young mother describes the problem of trying to get a house in Ireland. The problem is so grave that emigration may be the only option. Reporter Cathal O’Shannon is in Ballymun where a new housing development is being built. He outlines the circumstances which might see an individual rent a local authority dwelling. Denis Larkin the chairman of Dublin Corporation Housing Committee explains the problems the Corporation has had in the past and what it is now trying to achieve. A married couple describe their efforts to get a home and the difficulties they face on a caravan site. Cathal O’Shannon’s report continues with figures for house building and numbers on the Dublin Corporation housing list. One man interviewed, who does not qualify under the statutory regulations, describes how he now finds himself back in his mother’s two-bedroom home with his wife and children. The report ends with Denis Larkin describing the hopes Dublin Corporation have for the construction of new homes and reductions on the housing list. He stresses the need for more land to build on and more resources at government level. This episode of ‘Newsbeat’ was broadcast on 19 May 1966.

Paddypower has built a giant drive-thru confession box outside Phoenix Park entrance after the results from a survey the bookmaker commissioned revealed that more than a quarter of Irish people haven't attended confession in over a decade.

Amidst a crisis in the health sector, the HSA seems to have found time and money to arrange for the selling off of our heritage. The title of the old St Felims Hospital sited on 11.32 acres on the old Belturbet Road out of Cavan Town, along with its cemetery, is in the process of being "regularised" with a view to selling it to the private sector, the HSE has confirmed. The HSE is currently working with a solicitor and the Property Registration Authority with a view to "regularising title" for the St Felim’s property. It is expected that this process will take some time and it is unlikely to be achieved before 2019 at the earliest.

The Out of Africa hypothesis, much propagandised by globalist mainstream media and Establishment might have finally been inadvertently disproven by the Establishment itself through DNA technology and testing! It is already known Africans do NOT contain DNA from Neanderthals and Denisovans, that Europeans and Asians do, but it now appears Africans have ancient DNA that Europeans and Asians do NOT have either! This would make the much vaunted Out of Africa theory mutually exclusive and thus improbable. Sub-Saharan Africa is, geographically, the area of the continent of Africa that lies south of the Sahara. The first large-scale study of ancient human DNA from sub-Saharan Africa opens a long-awaited window into the identity and origins of prehistoric populations. Whole-genome sequences of Sub-Saharan tribal DNA shows that the ancestors of the hunter-gatherers interbred, be it through rape or otherwise, with one or more archaic human populations, and contributed archaic g

Ever wonder why no African Nations manage to get to the final stages of World Cup competitions? Could it be that Europe is once again indulging in colonisation and stealing Africa's best talent?   Is it any wonder African nations struggle to get their countries on a firm stable footing or to achieve on the world stage, when their citizenry are constantly being raided by high minded Europeans who groom talented citizens of African nations, with promises of wealth, fame and fortune to come to Europe for free handouts. Is it any wonder African are happy to sell their grandmother and risk their lives on a Kalergi boat across the Med with human traffickers?

As only a famous Fashion Icon can, Karl Lagerfeld recently spoke the harsh truth about Merkel's genocide, with style. If he had said this on German TV in German, the German cucks would certainly lock him up or even kill him. Many have been locked up for less...
