[Taoiseach] First Update
An Sluagh
Citizens of the Republic,
Apologies for the delay in publishing this article but I've been a bit busy the past few days with RL, game related material and have had problems with my internet. Regardless of this, my cabinet has been working away and performing their duties to the best of their abilities. We've made progress and given our current circumstances, we are doing a good job.
Let me brief you on the work carried out so far.
[FOREIGN AFFAIRS]
We have signed an MPP with Chile which they have kindly paid our half. We are also planning on signing an MPP with our brothers in arms, Macedonia. Their government kindly donated us 5000cc towards our half, the remainder was paid for by Machiavelli. This still allows for us to sign one more with the 10'000cc we budgeted for MPPs. However we are weighing up our options on who to sign with as we have been approached by a number of nations who are keen to sign with us.
Myself and our Minister of Foreign Affairs, AoifeNiBhriain, held a meeting with the Swiss Government and we have spoken of greater cooperation between our nations in our dual pursuit of liberation. The Swiss people recently succeeded against a Romanian PTO attempt and I have offered them eIrish citizens in the future as an ATO force. It has always been a belief of eIreland that no country should be victim to PTO's or MTO's and we will do whatever little we can do for our fellow small nations and their communities.
[DÁIL]
Despite having no official Dáil elected, we have managed to set up two Dáil threads working off the numbers calculated by Releasethe Krakken and by a list of individuals collected by AoifeNiBhriain off each Party President. The Dáil is up and running under the watchful eye of MooMooHead who has been acting in the role of Ceann Comhairle and counting votes making sure that democratic process is maintained and in flow.
So far there has been no hiccups and the system is working more or less perfectly.
[OFFICIAL STATEMENT RE: UNITED KINGDOM]
For the past year, eIreland and the eUK have grown close and become strong allies. In our time of need the eUK came and assisted us, we worked and coordinated together. When Argentina attacked the UK, we returned the NE out of solidarity as you risked your nation for us and it was only right we do the same.
However you are leaving this mess without us. And this is my worry. You have paid 50k cc and vowed not to fight against Argentina directly or indirectly. This means you can no longer assist us in our liberation and have set a bar for the price of our freedom, a price we are unable to pay due to the financial struggles of our nation. You didn't even have the decency to let us know of your move, you forgot about us, your brothers.
We won't be making a similar agreement with Argentina, we will fight for our liberation or we will take our regions back for free. We aren't paying our way out of this. We are a fighting people.
Since Day 1 of this term I've heard nothing from my cabinet ministers but that we make no agreement without the UK, that we are in this mess together. No we are not. eIreland is in it's own mess and the eUK left us out in the rain to live on the terms you drew up with Argentina.
Next time consider us, we are your brother and we gave up our nation for you.

Well said and your cabinet is working really nice so far. I am always pro anti MTO actions and it would be great if we could connect with eSwitzerland and other countries in anti MTO league. Consideing eUK I still hope that they will impeach the current CP and return 50k to eArgentine. Im glad ti hear that many of the eUK citizens do not support the treacherous act of their CP.

A huge amount of eUK citizens are appalled. It does make a big difference 🙂
as we are also without a congress, I guess it's down to our Dictator, Woldy to hit the button (if that is possible) .. however, the runner-up to SHA, "King" Silly-Billy, is a far worse prospect, especially for the eUK, believe me.
Well we cant have real Congress since we have the protective dictatorship but we made our own Congress that makes the decisions and our dictator is only the "button pusher".

good job sluagh \o/
HAIL eIRELAND...U HAVE eSPANISH SUPPORT!
U are a people with honor, next time speak with me for coordination in future battles..
ArGeNS, MoD of eSpain
Voted.
Nice
First mistake was the totally stupid decision to NE the Argies. Admittedly not on your term as CP but with full support of the then Government.
Second mistake was not contacting the Argies when I suggested getting our case on the table and maybe a return of a region or two to start. If fact I was ridiculed and told we stand with the Brits...while they were stabbing us in the back. I called it right then and I am still right.
Third mistake is now to be aggressive to them in public when the only way out is through talks. If you think you can fight your way out then you are disillusion like your MoD. You need to be professional not trash talking like some kid from the Hood. You are CP please try behave like one.
But let us continue to keep the bull in the china shop.. doh!
1. We honour our allies and we attacked Argentina for our ally. Stupid or not, we fight for our allies as they fought for us.
2. We stood with the Brits and we acted honourably. We weren't going to be the nation to go behind an allies back.
3. I have spoken with their Govt, and they have said they will make no deal at all with us. I have not thrash-talked once? I have said we will fight for our freedom. If a leader can't stand up for his people I don't know what you want from me.
I think you might be alone saying I'm acting "like a kid from the hood" and not behaving like a CP. Then again, I'm not surprised by you trying to slander me as always.
You're an adult please try behave like one.
I have a new idea how to defeat eArgies. If we ship (our secret weapon) WHS to eArgentina he can kill them with his complains and boredom 😃.
1. There were many ways to support the Brits without NEing Argentina we ended up with both countries wiped with constant RWs splitting damage. It was a mistake...I accept it was done with the best of intentions but it was a mistake.
2. With the wipe it left us in a position where we are in a position of been unable to help the Brits. It might of been good optics but it was a bad strategy. If we had spoke to the Argies explaining this early enough we might of been able to come to a agreement. However as I said in Congress, we have nothing to bargain. Sometimes standing up for your people is difficult.
3. I was not aware that you spoke to the Argentinian government because when I suggested same in Congress I was attacked and ridiculed. I am delighted at least you, as CP, agreed with me and not your Ministers and made the contact. As I was not aware of this forgive me when I criticised you for not doing so. Maybe Trash Talk was too strong a term but setting out what we will and will not be doing in such a public way is, imho, not wise.
All I ask is difficult negotiations are done in camera with support of the Dail and public pronouncements are kept to a minimum.
I am not trying to slander you or be difficult but I am giving advice...if I come across as too "direct" I apologise...we (nearly) all want eIreland liberated it is not surprising that there may be differences on how to achieve it.
Excuse me now, WHS, but I did not ridicule you and I have been in contact with eArgentina. I've been up until 4am and 5am trying to sort things so his ministers are doing something.
Aoife I did not say you did...if you read back through the first Congress message you will see who did...
...and (I and others should) appreciate the work you are doing...as I said to Conway/Slaugh I am delighted this line was/is now been taken...I was not aware it was till now.
That's fair enough. I just misinterpreted when you said his "ministers" to include all of us 🙂
Well I need to say what we are doing right now WHS, I can't just tell everyone to sit down and wait while I figure a plan.
Was told there will be no deal - only option for now is to fight and erode the shield. I've personally told their CP this is what we will do and that they have no benefit in occupying us. We are small but we aint going to submit to them.
Yes we made a bad move in hindsight, but we are where we are at and I've inherited this situation which was supported by congress etc (not blaming them at all, just stating). My job is now to get us out and all avenues are being explored. So please have a bit of respect towards me as I have not ridiculed any of your opposition to these events and am doing my utmost best.
I genuinely want you to apologise for attack me like this when realistically, none of this is my fault and all I have done is try to free our regions through all routes available. Everyone can testify to that.
Ok then...if you're doing all what you say you are...(and yes Congress F*&ked up with a few notable exceptions and I was attacked there when I called them on the stupidity of what we were voting on) then I withdraw my criticisms & await progress reports in the privacy of the Congress Threads.
Some one told me a long time ago feedback not asked for is Critisim.
...a fine comment from the person whose idea it was to NE the UK
But hey lets move on...
Quit drinking lad.
oixel p* . whs for your info peace talks was started by me a time ago. they just broke it off midsentence. apparently NE was our second transgressions. but argies is famous traitors so i didnt grovel to their mod. we will not grovel. there is nothing wrong by being aggressive after all this is a game. only politicians can say attacking another nation to regain regions is a mistake. if your not satisfied with this. go cry to argentina.
Good article.
Voted The British Army will always fight for our Irish brothers and support your/our cause if you have read the British media most citizens are not happy with the deal the CP as under taken and many from his own party has spoken out as with the current government who wasn't consulted.
Ireland should have never made Argentina a NE I don't know who's idea that was in trying to help the better thing to do was to make the UK NE and let us have a region and you would have had all your regions, but whatever happen the UK should have talked to Ireland first before any deal was signed, as this deal is a hinderance to both our countries freedom.
Voted, endorse and shouted.
Indeed...if we had not NEed we could of continued to support the Brits and the mess of this "difficulty" with the British would of been avoided, hindsight is a wonderful thing.
I did advise in our Congress thread that it was a mistake to NE and that we could have shown support for the UK by fighting en masse in the RWs. As it was, it made not a blind bit of difference to the attack on the UK, though it did confirm just how foolish some members of the Dáil are. Ah, well, corned beef anyone?
Good article. You have my support.
