Orwellian Ireland

Inspired by the book Stasiland, this work is an attempt to see if some of the state practices that flourished in Communist Eastern Europe might be replicated in modern Ireland. It goes into the question of intelligence agencies, what agencies are active in Ireland, how they harass dissidents, their use of modern technology and their role in secretly supporting paramilitary groups in Ireland and around the world. It includes a lot of first hand testimony of state harassment, and even torture, which is on a par with what happened in countries like East Germany. Finally it concludes with some searching questions about the real government policies being pursued in Ireland.

Inspirata de cartea Stasiland, aceasta lucrare este o incercare de a vedea daca unele practici de stat care au inflorit in Europa de Est comunista ar putea fi reproduse in Irlanda moderna. Acesta intra in chestiunea agentiilor de informatii, ce agentii sunt active in Irlanda, cum ii hartuiesc pe disidenti, utilizarea tehnologiei moderne si rolul lor in sprijinirea secreta a grupurilor paramilitare din Irlanda si din intreaga lume.
