Hello everyone

Hello everyone. Over the past few years, we've seen successive Irish governments being the best boys and girls in the class for Brussels. They have no interest in representing the best needs of the citizens of Ireland and are only interested in getting a pat on the head from their friends in Brussels. Most recently, we saw Mihal Martin sickeningly give 125 million euro to the corrupt regime in Ukraine. But this wasn't challenged at all by the mainstream media. They're all quite.

Happy to go along with this narrative around Ukraine. Upwards of 670 million has been given over already. That doesn't even include the amount of money that's been spent on accommodation for those who have come to Ireland from Ukraine. But of course, many of our own citizens are suffering and this is always pushed to the back of the queue when the Irish government are in town along with their media lackey. Now the case I want to talk about tonight it.

Involves a young family from but in County Cork a code the Cody family and tragically Rory Cody a 13-year-old boy died in September 2025. He was suffering from a dreadful disease called Friedri's attackia. This is a disease that damages the spinal cord, nerves, and the heart and causes major liferestricting and limiting conditions from those who suffer. Currently, there's about 200 sufferers in Ireland.

Now, also with the Cody family, there's another young boy called Podi who is 16 years of age and he is suffering from this as well. But wait for it. There is a drug on the market that can be purchased and used to support many of those suffering from this awful disease. It's called Sky Claris. Now this drug is available in many European countries. And also the father of Py Cody is looking at relocating to C to Latia to.

“And also the father of Py Cody is looking at relocating to C to Latia to”

Access this drug. But wait for it. In Ireland, it's been not decided upon to use it for the last couple of years. Uh the HSSE received the pricing for this back in August 2024 and have done very little since to progress this. And this, as I said, would have a major help for many of those suffering from this awful disease in terms of slowing the progression of this disease. as well. The cost is about €280,000 per year, and it's estimated that a.

5-year budget for this drug would cost €130 million

5-year budget for this drug would cost €130 million euro. So, this would help slow the progression of this disease and help so many who are suffering from this terrible disease. But at the same time, Mihal Martin was too willing to give over 125 million euro of our public money to Ukraine. Do the sums somebody. So 125 million euro to corrupt regime or 130 million to help so many people here in Ireland have a better quality of.

Life. Well, it's an easy answer for the Irish political establishment, isn't it? Interesting enough, Mihan Martin claims to represent Cork as well as a TD for that part of Ireland. But this is also about the profits of the big pharmaceutical companies. Company like Biogen which owns this drug. The CEO last year pulled in a salary of over $24 million. Absolutely astounding. And wait for it. Interesting enough, yesterday we had Friedick Merricks in town. This company is also owned about 9% of it by.

Black Rockck and they spent 400,000 lobbying the European Union every year. They also have out the offices in Dublin in City West where they pulled a turnover of 41 million euro last year with€6 million euro in profits and it's about making money from rare disease medicines. They've also found massive profit avenues in moving towards these medicines as well. And recently their CEO has spoken to Wall Street investors about looking for more money to invest in these drugs. So it tells you what big.

Farm is all about making massive profits tells you what the Irish government is all about facilitating this also and transferring more money into corrupt regimes rather than serving the citizens. So this is what's really taking place while people suffer. It shows you the power big farmer have. It shows you the power lobbying has in Europe and the whole tin stinks to high heaven and should be exposed. It's really what's taking place. Rather than having a system that serves the needs of.

People, the basic needs such as your health and housing need, which is a dignified existence, we have a system that's based on making massive windfalls from people's desperate needs. And also, we have a government that sits in our hands while ordinary citizens suffer and tragically pass away like young Rory Cody and many other who have suffered from this awful disease as well. So please share my videos. Please get this message out far and wide to what's.

Taking place and also in terms of the context

Taking place and also in terms of the context of the harrowing tragic episodes to what's taken place in our society where we have a political establishment that sit on their hands but also benefit and support the agenda of the big corporations corrupt regimes in Kiev and the big pharmaceutical joints like Vioagen pulling in massive windfalls for their investors and massive salaries for their chief executive officers while ordinary people suffer. Thanks a lot for the support and slongo take care.

“Do the sums somebody”: €125 million to Ukraine, a €280,000-a-year drug still undecided.

Rory Cody, a 13-year-old boy from a County Cork family, died in September 2025 after suffering from Friedreich’s ataxia, a disease that also affects a 16-year-old in the same family and, on Dooley’s figures, about 200 people in Ireland. Skyclarys, a drug he says would slow it, is available in many European countries and costs about €280,000 a year; the HSE received the pricing in August 2024, and he says the 16-year-old’s father is looking at relocating abroad to reach it. He sets the estimated €130 million five-year cost of funding that drug against the €125 million he says Micheál Martin gave to “the corrupt regime in Ukraine”, and against the money he says Biogen makes from rare disease medicines.
