For the last few years since the CV19 scamdemic undocumented immigration into Ireland has surged. No one is allowed discuss it because they do not want any rational debate about it.

Jump To Comment: 1THIS WEEK THE ANTI GM GROUP GM FREE IRELAND WAS INVOLVED IN A SPONSORSHIP SCANDAL.
This week GM Free Ireland was caught misrepresenting Bord Bia's (the publicly funded agency for the promotion of Irish food) involvement in their up and coming conference for which they are offering sponsorship deals for up to 25,000 Euro!
GM Free Ireland and Michael O'Callaghan (media spokesperson for GM Free Ireland and Director of the company (Global Vision Consulting Ltd) arranging the forthcoming conference) were claiming Bord Bia was an official sponsor of their event. They had posted this claim on their website and potential sponsors were led to believe that Bord Bia were backing the conference (and presumably its goals!!!).
This claim was exposed as a lie this week. One might assume the false claim was presumably concocted in an attempt to lure more sponsporship cash from the unsuspecting Irish public as Bord Bia is highly respected and is the official food promotional agency in Ireland. It is funded by the Irish tax payer.
When exposed GM Free Ireland and Michael O'Callaghan quietly and with out explanation removed the bogus claim from their website without an apology!! So much for good business ethics or reliable information.....
The email below is from Bord Bia officials and is what led to their exposure......

From: "Muiris Kennedy" Muiris.Kennedy@BordBia.IE
To: "Shane Morris"
CC: "Byrne, Marian" Marian.Byrne@agriculture.gov.ie
Dear Mr Morris,
Bord Bia is not a sponsor of the conference and following clarification with the organisers the reference has now been removed from the Website.
I have agreed to make a presentation about Ireland The Food Island and the marketing of Irish Food at one of the workshops on Saturday afternoon and will be one of a number of international speakers at the event.
Thank you for advising us about the reference and am pleased to have had the opportunity to clarify the situation.
Yours sincerely.
Muiris Kennedy
Director Marketing Services.
