Ireland, U.K. becoming ‘dangerous’ for people with disabilities

“Many doctors in Ireland, and groups representing disabled people and older people, are not in favour of assisted dying legislation. They have deep concerns about what happened in Belgium, the Netherlands and Canada which have seen expansion upon expansion of the grounds for assisted suicide and euthanasia. Diminishing services prolong and increase older, disabled and sick people’s suffering to the extent that many now feel they can no longer live a valuable and productive life.”

She referred to it as “euthanasia by stealth.”

Ireland’s political establishment avoids populist revolt

On Saturday following Ireland’s general election, count centres were full of volunteers tallying votes on their clipboards. In Donegal, supporters of venerable candidate Pat “the Cope” Gallagher wore high-vis vests bearing the legends “Vote Cope” and even “Team Cope“. It was a welcome reminder that even in an election where the results seem to have changed so little, someone is always coping and someone seething. So who is who?

Ireland’s migration election History shapes the nation’s populism

In many ways, Dundrum looks like the average Irish village. There’s a family butcher, a pub called Bertie’s, and rows of squatting slate-grey terraces. Yet walk down the R505, where Dundrum melts into the hedgerows of County Tipperary, and you’ll soon spot something else. There, outside Dundrum House, is an anti-migrant camp. Established back in August, locals are fighting the planned settlement of 277 refugees, with the former hotel set to be converted into an International Protection Accommodation Services (IPAS) centre.

Learning From the Collapse of Catholic Ireland

How did a nation once famous for Saints and Scholars reach such lows? The president of the Irish Freedom Party has some thoughts.

In the sixth century, the monk St. Columba left the Emerald Isle and sailed to Iona to build a new monastery and spread the Christian faith. For centuries afterwards, Ireland held a reputation as a deeply and even fundamentally Catholic nation, responsible for training priests and religious scholars and sending them out across the wide world to preach and teach the Gospel. But today, there is only one seminarian currently studying for the priesthood to serve the entire Archdiocese of Dublin, which comprises over 200 parishes and approximately one million baptized Catholics.

Ireland’s immigration crisis has brought it to boiling point

Coolock, north Dublin has become a focal point for the Irish immigration debate. In the past week, there have been five arson attacks in the large suburban area, as well as rallies amassing more than 600 people. Sunday night marked the fourth fire in four days at a site earmarked for asylum seekers.

Former factory in Dublin intended to house asylum seekers is set on fire

A disused factory in Dublin earmarked to house asylum seekers has been set on fire following a protest at the site.

More than 1,000 people were protesting at the former Crown Paints building in Coolock on Friday night, in the north of the Irish capital, and gardaí were on the scene.

A number of speeches were given outside the derelict factory, with protesters seen holding signs that read “Irish Lives Matter” and “The Irish People”.

We need to be Coolock.

Ireland’s anti-immigration protests are turning more violent

It would have been reasonable to assume that the relatively poor showing for anti-immigration candidates in Ireland’s local elections last month, like the unexpectedly strong performance by the governing coalition, marked the beginning of a decline for Ireland’s nascent populist movement. But yesterday’s serious disorder in Coolock, a working-class community in North Dublin, proves that the issue is very far from defused.

Ireland: Tensions over refugee crisis and Dublin tent cities

Dublin – illegal alien invader camp

The center of Dublin glitters with architectural showpieces, the offices of global corporations. But there are increasingly tents at the base of the glass facades. Some of these belong to people excluded from housing, a scarcity across Ireland and simply unaffordable for many people in the booming capital. The housing crisis is the dominant topic in Ireland right now. When he took office as taoiseach, or Ireland’s head of government, in April, Simon Harris promised to provide 250,000 new homes by the end of the decade.

Ireland’s populist insurgency

Dublin’s marchers have to convince a silent majority

The first thing that strikes you about Dublin is how different the political stickers on lamp posts are: while in Belfast the overriding theme is either pro-Palestine or Irish unity, in Dublin’s central O’Connell Street, it is “Defund The NGO Maggots” and “Mass Deportations Now” that strikes the foreign observer as novel. Beneath a gloomy Irish sky, one anti-immigration protestor scraped antifa stickers off a lamp post while a small boy holding his father’s hand stuck an “Ireland is Full” sticker on another. Others affixed tricolours and green harp flags to fishing rods as Gardaí in their day-glo uniforms looked on.

Anti-immigrant camp in Dublin ‘not about racism’, residents say

In the nation of ‘Cead Mile Failte’ (a hundred thousand welcomes), the residents of Coolock want to shut the door.

They’ve set up an anti-immigrant camp in the north Dublin suburb, outside a disused factory earmarked to house asylum seekers.

With green, white and orange, they’re staking claim to this ground, their protest tents bedecked with dozens of Irish flags.

Car horns blast every four or five seconds, in response to a large poster reading: “Beep if you support Coolock.”

Wanting to protect your family from the predations of a violent illegal alien invader horde is not “racist”.

The return of the Irish Right

“The transformation of Ireland over the last 60 years has sometimes felt as if a new world had landed from outer space on top of an old one,” wrote Fintan O’Toole, a commentator who is generally approving of this new status quo, in 2021. But the past weeks and months have proven that the “old” country has very different ideas about this extra-terrestrial political order. After Ireland rejected two liberal amendments to the constitution, tabled and sponsored by their government, civic disturbances on a scale not seen for generations continue. They even wear the aesthetic of an older Ireland, with youths on horseback leading a recent protest against a new asylum centre in Dublin.

Ireland and the terrible truth about wokeness

Ireland’s latest referendum exposed just how zealous and reckless the elites’ culture war has become.

Hands down my favourite part of the referendum revolt in Ireland last week was the discovery of ‘miraculous medals’ among the ballot papers.

A miraculous medal is a small pendant that features the Blessed Virgin. Normally, she’s shown crushing a serpent beneath her feet. They’re devotional medallions. They come in silver or gold. And to some Catholics, they’re a means of asking the Virgin Mother for an intercession, for her holy assistance in the healing of a sick person or the enactment of some other kind of miracle. And would you believe it – electoral officials found some stuffed among the ballots, no doubt by voters hoping Jesus’s mum might miraculously make the dual referendums go their way.

Irish Voters Overwhelmingly Reject Constitutional Change on Family and Women

The Irish government has suffered resounding defeats in two referenda aimed at changing the Irish Constitution to widen the definition of family and to change a provision about women’s role within the family.

Turnout for the referenda, held on Friday, was 44.36 percent, a significant drop from the abortion referendum in 2018 which saw a turnout of 64 percent.

Elect a foreigner PM expect anti-Western crap.

Ireland Is Burning

As tensions mount over mass migration and a spate of brutal crimes by immigrants, Ireland is beginning to burn. Nationalist sentiments last seen in the twilight years of British colonial rule are reawakening, as a disenfranchised native population resorts to desperate measures to make their opposition to reckless migration policies heard.

Irish state broadcaster RTE recently reported that, since 2018, 23 buildings linked to planned migrant centres have been badly or completely damaged by fire. Ten of these fires have occurred since November of 2023. After Ross Lake House Hotel in County Galway, which was due to house 70 asylum seekers, burned on 16 December 2023, Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar stated, “There is no justification for violence, arson, or vandalism in our Republic. Ever.” Green Party member and Minister for Integration Roderick O’Gorman called the fire “deeply sinister” and “designed to intimidate people seeking international protection here in Ireland.”
