Appeal for witnesses after unconscious man found in Cork

The man is currently in critical condition at Cork University Hospital.

GARDAÍ ARE APPEALING for witnesses following the discovery of an unconscious man at St Patrick’s Quay in Cork City on Thursday 3 October.

The 36-year-old man was found at 10pm “in a collapsed state” and taken by ambulance to Cork University Hospital where he is currently in a critical condition. He is understood to have sustained facial injuries.

It is believed that the man may have fallen and gardaí are eager for witnesses to come forward so they can rule out any foul-play in the incident.

They are appealing for witnesses who may have been in the St Patrick’s Quay area between 9pm and 10.30pm on 3 October 2013 to contact Mayfield Garda Station 021 4558510 or the Garda Confidential Line 1800 666 111.

    Bill Gates is in the opinion of many a dangerous man – aslo he is afgainst Trade Uions . I know some trade unionist have come in for what appears to be well founded criticism . That does not mean Trade Unions are not very necessary .
    Bill gates is closly associated with Monsanto – and anyone who thinks Monsanto have the people of any country interests at heart needs to re-examine things .

    Bill Gates is a interesting business man…

    “At this present historical juncture, neoclassical free-market economic doctrines are the favored means of promoting capitalism by business and political elites. In many respects, this neoliberal dogma has been adopted by a sizable proportion of the citizenry of the world’s most powerful countries, arguably against the citizenry’s own best interests. This widespread internalisation, but not necessarily acceptance, by the broader populous of the economic theories that consolidate capitalist hegemony over the global market did not happen naturally, but actually required a massive ongoing propaganda campaign to embed itself in the minds of the masses. The contours of this propaganda offensive have been well described by Alex Carey who fittingly observed that: “The twentieth century has been characterised by three developments of great political importance: the growth of democracy, the growth of corporate power, and the growth of corporate propaganda as a means of protecting corporate power against democracy.” [2]

    There are many reasons why corporate giants engage in liberal philanthropic endeavors: one is to have a direct influence on political decisions through what has been termed political philanthropy [3], but another important reason is that such charitable efforts help cultivate a positive image in the public’s mind that serves to deflect criticism while also helping expand their market share. However, although liberal foundations like the Gates Foundation may engage in ostensibly ‘progressive’ activities, this does not mean that the capitalist enterprises from which their endowments arise (e.g. Microsoft) refrain from engaging in common antidemocratic business practices. So while the Gates Foundation directs some of its resources to progressive grassroots initiatives, its corporate benefactor actually works to create fake grassroots organisations (otherwise known as astroturf groups) to actively lobby through covert means to protect corporate power.”
