The euthanasia bill is currently going through the Dáil. Conditions are many. Assisted suicide could be coersion. Passive euthanasia already exists, that is a failure to give treatment or if a patient’s treatment is terminated; as does active euthanasia, when a lethal dose of a painkiller, for instance is prescribed and the patient dies over a period of a week or two. Could be when the patient is not coping. Other concerns are legalising a policy that is open to misuse, not involving the patient or listening to their views; and cost related decisions, especially for the elderly

According to recent news the united nations world food programme has won the Nobel peace prize. The programme is believed to allow benefactors to aid a hunger crisis often caused by the u.n. Some believe that many charities are only allowed to help states who have complied to u.n. detail. The u.n. who are known to exploit, kill and lie under the guise of peace, in certain circumstances known to themselves, allow or disallow minimum aid. The reason why only minimum aid is permitted is questionable, many believe it is connected to third world debt, sometimes termed acrimonious because of deceipt. Questions posed over the years may be connected to news that billions of dollars have left the u.k. for off shore accounts. Fort Knox in the USA may be another depositary for exploited assets

The climate action and low carbon ammendment bill 2020 has been described as a dictate for the future, in this case until 2050. Unknown legislators means the state is answerable and will have to explain their carbon foot print in everything they do, as will local businesses. Rising carbon taxes are predicted, though the green party insist that there will be supports for the less well off. No details.

Diesel and home heating were mentioned as examples of unenvironmental sources of power though a haze has to develop to be detrimental. Oil heated radiators don’t create air pollution.

According to the report, special committees will preside over the government with regard to emissions, and international penalties have been discussed. The green party say the new legislation should become law on schedule by next year if the proposed carbon budget is met. By whom isn’t said, though taxes for fossil fuels is reportedly the key. Funding is then proposed to bleed the atmosphere of green house gases and store them, but will this reduce emissions?

Legislators, believed to be superpowers tend to

burn fossil fuels at extremely high temperatures for nuclear activity, probably the main cause of climate change. The burning of fossil fuels is also used in the production of electricity, seen as a friendly alternative.

According to a report a five year court hearing ended with the leadership of the Golden Dawn, a political party in Greece who were charged with directing murder, being found guilty of operating a criminal gang that targeted opponents. The accused have denied all charges.

The Golden Dawn are reportedly a nationalist party, beginning in the seventies. According to the report the charges centre around four or five murders said to involve foreign migrants; in particular, four Egyptian fishermen were killed. Believed to have been due to poverty resulting from the Greek economic crisis and no real connection to the party. Following the verdict there were protests and emotional scenes outside the court.

Brexit conferences reportedly continued in London this week. According to a chief negotiator for Britain, state aid is an issue requiring conflict resolution between Britain and the eu, but time is running out. According to the report, another negotiator and cabinet minister said that in the event of British northern Ireland protocol succeeding, that is no borders, areas of disagreement might be resolved; thought to be banking legislation as well as social welfare.

Reportedly Britain say they will not write a treaty with the eu divulging the design of their system. According to Britain, more formal negotiations are required next week before a meeting of the eu council scheduled for Thursday.

There is estimated to be 150 patients suffering from corona virus disease in Irish hospitals at present, that is on average 1.5 covid patients per hospital. Yet reportedly there are 12,000 covid positive people in central north Dublin. Hostels could be a breeding ground. A special gardaí initiative in order to curtail the smuggling of drugs and contraband cigarettes believed to be coming over the border and via ports should offer a solution.

Many are questioning the recent more stringent closure proposals, particularly those in areas with a low incidence of covid 19; also businesses, many of whom are coping happily whilst taking extra precautions. Restaurants are taking customers’ names and phone numbers, possibly incase of an outbreak. Many businesses want to carry on inspite of the risks, risks believed to be multiplied by specific problems experienced in Ireland for some time, mainly entomological subterfuge, believed to be used for coersion purposes and worse. To be effective a virus has to be involved.

With a new lockdown believed to be imminent, figures show there have been over 38,000 reported cases of covid 19, 24,000 are believed to have recovered, and 1,810 deaths associated with the disease. Means around 12,000 people in Ireland are covid positive, 134 currently in hospital and 22 said to be virus patients in intensive care. According to recent news, Donegal, Monaghan and Dublin are statistically high in cases. May indicate entrance from the uk, if so, stringent measures such as a shrinking green list and punishing restrictions for hotels, aviation and many businesses won’t be enough to curtail the virus. Leads to questions about the long term consequences of inaction.

The age range of affected individuals is now lower with 74% reportedly under 45 years. With regard to Dublin, .23% of central/north Dubliners are said to have covid. Smokers may be susceptible to the virus. Contraband cigarettes, not believed to be passable with regard to health and safety could attract viruses. Other drugs too, often contain viruses which attract similar detail.

According to a report, political parties in Ireland will lose half their funding if less than 30% of candidates are female. Reported to rise to 40% in 2023. Funding from whom?

Reportedly, on 1st October the eu commision sent Britain a letter concerning their breaching of the withdrawal agreement. The action is in support of a united Ireland under British control, dismissing and disapproving of a border on the island of Ireland as it does. A united Irish Ireland is apparently out of the question at the moment; indications being news of a Westminster mandate for northern Ireland officialdom to veto any border formalities, and the British government wishing to preside over all traffic bound for Ireland, north and south; but where will the eu border be? The taoiseach seems to be leaving it to the eu, and the group of eu delegates planning to meet for more discussions in the middle of the month, seemingly leaving it to Ireland.

Reportedly, the eu believe the start of November to be the last moment a deal can be reached in order for it be approved and enacted in time for January 2021. According to the report, the British prime minister said that he is not wedded to leaving the eu without a deal. The uk however are insistent on keeping the old regime with regard to business, finance and welfare, so no deal.

Mr Johnson who says the uk want to do their own checks on traffic bound for Ireland is warning importers and exporters that paperwork is imminent and to expect delays, possibly resulting in 100 km queues if preparations fail. The prime minister is said to have been in video conference with the current eu commisioner, reportedly to continue in London this week.
