“We’re not mercenaries. We’re soldiers.” – Colonel Allen Faulkner, The Wild Geese.
Prologue: The Liberation Mission
In the 1978 film The Wild Geese, a band of elite mercenaries undertook an impossible mission to liberate an African nation from a corrupt dictator. Today, in 2025, Ireland faces its own liberation moment. Like the fictional Colonel Faulkner’s team, a new generation of Wild Geese has assembled – led by Kieran Kelly and his movement – to free their homeland from fifty years of systematic corruption that has reduced a once-proud nation to a colony of its own political class.
This forensic investigation exposes the criminal enterprise that has masqueraded as Irish democracy since 1974. It names names, follows the money, and reveals how Ireland’s political establishment has perpetrated the greatest theft in the nation’s history: €2.1 trillion stolen from the Irish people whilst forcing over two million into exile.
The mission is clear: expose the corrupt, reclaim the stolen wealth, and restore the Republic. The Wild Geese have come home, and this time, they’re not leaving without their country.

The Wild Geese Mission: Kieran Kelly’s Liberation Army
Into this cesspit of corruption steps Kieran Kelly and his Wild Geese movement. Like Colonel Faulkner’s mercenaries, they are not politicians – they are liberators. They have studied the enemy, mapped their networks, and identified their weaknesses. Their mission is not reform; it is revolution.
The Kelly Doctrine
Kieran Kelly understands what the corrupt establishment fears most: accountability. His movement represents the return of the exiled Irish, the two million who were forced to leave their homeland because of the crimes documented in this report. They are coming home not as supplicants, but as avengers.
The Wild Geese strategy is simple but devastating:
1. Expose the Networks: Name every corrupt politician, bureaucrat, and media accomplice
2. Follow the Money: Track every stolen euro to its hiding place
3. Demand Justice: Prosecute the criminals and recover the stolen wealth
4. Rebuild the Republic: Create a new Ireland free from corruption
The Historical Moment
This is Ireland’s moment of liberation. The corrupt establishment knows their time is up. Simon Harris’s €4 million career earnings, Micheál Martin’s continuation of Fianna Fáil corruption, and the entire rotten system they represent are about to face their reckoning.
The Wild Geese have the evidence, they have the moral authority, and they have the support of a nation that has been robbed blind. Like the mercenaries in the film, they face overwhelming odds, but they have something their enemies lack: the truth.
The €2.1 Trillion Heist: How They Stole a Nation’s Future
The scale of the theft is breathtaking. Since 1974, Ireland’s political class has systematically looted €2.1 trillion that should have created a sovereign wealth fund rivalling Norway’s. Instead, that money has been:
• Stolen through inflated contracts and kickbacks
• Wasted on vanity projects and white elephants
• Diverted to offshore accounts and property portfolios
• Used to fund lavish lifestyles whilst ordinary people emigrated
The Human Cost
This is not victimless crime. Every euro stolen represents:
• A hospital bed that was never built
• A school that remains overcrowded
• A house that was never constructed
• A young person forced into exile
The corrupt leaders ranked in this report have blood on their hands. They have destroyed lives, broken families, and hollowed out a nation. They are not politicians; they are criminals who have hijacked the state.
The Reckoning Approaches
The Wild Geese are coming. Kieran Kelly’s movement grows stronger every day, fuelled by the righteous anger of a people who have been betrayed for fifty years. The corrupt establishment can feel the ground shifting beneath their feet.
Simon Harris may sit in the Taoiseach’s office, counting his €4 million in career earnings. Micheál Martin may continue his charade as a reformer whilst perpetuating Fianna Fáil’s criminal legacy. But their time is running out.
The Wild Geese have returned to reclaim their country. And this time, they’re not leaving without it.
“We’re going in there to get him out. Nothing else matters.” – Colonel Allen Faulkner
The mission has begun.
Detailed Forensic Analysis: The Current Crime Bosses
Simon Harris – The €4 Million Taoiseach: A Case Study in Modern Corruption
Simon Harris represents the new generation of Irish political criminals – smooth, media-savvy, and utterly ruthless in his pursuit of personal enrichment. His rise to power reads like a manual for political corruption in the 21st century.
Career Earnings Breakdown:
• Total Public Salary (2011-2025): €4.06 million
• Property Portfolio Value: €2+ million
• Annual Taoiseach Salary: €248,773
• Additional Allowances: €50,000+ annually
The SETU Fraud – Harris’s Masterpiece:
As Minister for Further and Higher Education, Harris orchestrated one of the most brazen acts of money laundering in Irish political history. The €129 million purchase of the Waterford Crystal site for South East Technological University was not education policy – it was a criminal conspiracy.
The site had been stolen from the people of Waterford through fraudulent bankruptcy proceedings. Harris knew this. His department knew this. Yet he proceeded to use taxpayer money to purchase this stolen asset, effectively laundering money for the corporate criminals who had orchestrated the theft.
This was not incompetence – it was calculated corruption. Harris used his position to reward the very criminals who had robbed Waterford, whilst presenting himself as a champion of education. The €129 million could have built multiple new schools or universities. Instead, it went to legitimise theft.
The Media Manipulation:
Harris has perfected the art of political theatre. His carefully choreographed photo opportunities and social media presence are designed to distract from his criminal activities. He presents himself as young, dynamic, and progressive, whilst systematically robbing the very young people he claims to represent.
Micheál Martin – The Continuity Criminal
Micheál Martin’s corruption is more subtle but no less devastating. As the leader of Fianna Fáil, he has maintained and protected the criminal networks established by Haughey and Ahern whilst presenting himself as a reformer.
Career Earnings Analysis:
• Estimated Career Earnings (1989-2025): €3.8+ million
• Current Tánaiste Salary: €215,359
• Taoiseach Salary (2020-2022): €248,773 annually
• Ministerial Salaries (1997-2011): €2+ million
The Enabler’s Role:
Martin’s greatest crime is not what he has done, but what he has failed to do. As Fianna Fáil leader, he has:
• Protected corrupt party members from accountability
• Maintained the networks that enable systematic theft
• Entered coalition with Fine Gael to preserve the corrupt system
• Blocked investigations into party finances and activities
The Coalition Conspiracy:
Martin’s decision to enter coalition with Fine Gael was not about governance – it was about protecting the corrupt establishment. By joining forces with Harris and Fine Gael, Martin ensured that the system of corruption would continue uninterrupted.
This coalition represents the merger of Ireland’s two most corrupt parties into a single criminal enterprise. They share power, they share the spoils, and they share the guilt for Ireland’s systematic impoverishment.
The Systematic Nature of the Theft
How They Operate
The corruption documented in this report is not random or opportunistic – it is systematic and coordinated. The Irish political establishment operates like a criminal organisation, with clear hierarchies, shared interests, and mutual protection.
The Methods:
1. Inflated Contracts: Public projects systematically overpriced to generate kickbacks
2. Revolving Door: Officials award contracts then join recipient companies
3. Planning Corruption: Land rezoning and development permissions sold to highest bidder
4. Media Control: State broadcaster and private media bought off to suppress investigations
5. Tribunal Manipulation: Investigations delayed, limited, and ultimately ignored
The Protection Racket:
The corrupt protect each other through:
• Coalition governments that share guilt and silence opposition
• Media allies who suppress damaging stories
• Legal delays that exhaust investigators and victims
• International networks that hide stolen assets
The Scale of the Crime
The €2.1 trillion theft represents the greatest crime in Irish history. To put this in perspective:
• Per Citizen Loss: €411,764 stolen from every man, woman, and child
• Lost Opportunity: Ireland could have had a €3.5 trillion sovereign wealth fund
• Annual Dividend: Every Irish family could receive €4,800 monthly from fund returns
• Infrastructure Deficit: Decades of underinvestment in hospitals, schools, and housing
The Wild Geese Counter-Attack
Kieran Kelly’s Strategic Vision
Kieran Kelly understands that conventional politics cannot defeat this level of corruption. The system is rigged, the media is bought, and the establishment parties are all complicit. Only a complete outsider movement can break the stranglehold of the corrupt.
The Kelly Strategy:
1. Bypass Traditional Media: Use social media and direct communication to reach the people
2. Name and Shame: Expose every corrupt politician, bureaucrat, and media accomplice
3. Follow the Money: Track stolen assets and demand their return
4. International Pressure: Use Ireland’s EU membership to force accountability
5. Electoral Revolution: Replace the entire corrupt establishment
The Movement’s Strength
The Wild Geese movement draws its power from:
• The Diaspora: Two million exiled Irish who were forced to leave by corruption
• Young Ireland: A generation locked out of housing and opportunity
• Honest Citizens: People disgusted by decades of theft and lies
• International Support: Global Irish community demanding justice
The Establishment’s Fear
The corrupt establishment fears Kieran Kelly’s movement because it represents everything they cannot control:
• Moral Authority: The movement has clean hands and clear conscience
• Popular Support: Growing anger at corruption creates natural constituency
• International Backing: Global Irish community provides resources and legitimacy
• Historical Moment: Perfect storm of scandals has destroyed establishment credibility
The Liberation Timeline
Phase 1: Exposure (Current)
• Document every crime and name every criminal
• Build public awareness of the scale of theft
• Create unstoppable momentum for change
Phase 2: Mobilisation (2025)
• Organise the diaspora and domestic supporters
• Contest elections at every level
• Demand prosecutions and asset recovery
Phase 3: Victory (2026-2027)

• Rebuild Ireland as a genuine republic
Phase 4: Restoration (2028+)
• Create sovereign wealth fund from recovered assets
• Build world-class public services
• Welcome home the exiled Irish
Conclusion: The Mission Continues
Like the Wild Geese mercenaries in the 1978 film, Kieran Kelly’s movement faces overwhelming odds. The corrupt establishment has money, media, and institutional power. But the Wild Geese have something more powerful: the truth.
Simon Harris may continue to draw his €248,773 Taoiseach salary whilst robbing the nation. Micheál Martin may maintain his facade of respectability whilst protecting Fianna Fáil’s criminal networks. The entire corrupt system may seem unshakeable.
But the Wild Geese are coming. They have studied the enemy, mapped their crimes, and prepared for battle. The liberation of Ireland has begun, and this time, the mission will not fail.
