Ireland, immigration and the fury of the masses

Last November, Dublin was in flames. Protests against immigration turned into a riot and videos of the carnage went around the world. The inexcusable violence has been leapt on by an Irish elite desperate to demonise all opposition to immigration and push through new hate-crime laws. But as Ella Whelan explains in our latest video polemic, this dismissive approach is no longer going to cut it. Irish people don’t hate migrants. They have no time for the thuggish far right, either. But they are furious about the establishment’s handling of immigration. And they are not going to be quiet anymore.


Compare the above with this elitist piece from the Globe. This is the same slander Trudeau’s Liberal party has used against Canadians who dare speak out against mass imigration.

Ireland’s drift to the right

In a country with a reputation for welcoming the needy, nationalist groups are feeding on growing anger at Middle Eastern and African asylum seekers, Ukrainian refugees and lack of housing

The Dublin Riot: A Harbinger of Things to Come?

Because it spotlights the current state of affairs in the West — and all the key players — the recent uprising in Dublin should not be so quickly forgotten.

Background: On Nov. 23, 2023, a Muslim man of Algerian origin, with a known criminal record, knifed a group of preschool children attending Saint Mary’s, a Catholic school in Dublin. Three children — two girls and a boy aged between 5 and 6 — and a care assistant who tried to defend them were stabbed in the assault. Knifed near the heart, a 5-year-old girl was critically injured and, as of the last report from December, remains hospitalized in critical condition.

Ireland on the Verge of Establishing an Oppressive Censorship Regime

The ferocious desire of Ireland’s myopic and feckless governing class to crack down on speech that it considers “hateful” seems at last to be reaching fruition. After a riot in Dublin was blamed on “far-right” agitators, the country’s taoiseach, Leo Varadkar, renewed his push for a stricter set of legal restrictions on the free expression of the citizenry. “It’s now very obvious to anyone who might have doubted us,” Varadkar said last week, “that our incitement-to-hatred legislation is just not up to date.” “We need that legislation through,” he insisted, “and we need it through in a matter of weeks.”

Silencing the Irish To Save Them From Themselves

Any Irish person who has a critical thought about the mass migration overtaking the country better keep his mouth shut and not write, tweet, or TikTok anything about it, or face prison.

All European eyes should be on Ireland now. In the wake of last week’s Dublin riots, the Varadkar government is fast-tracking draconian hate-speech legislation that would decimate liberty in the Emerald Isle. The Irish people face being ordered by their woke government, under threat of jail, to acquiesce silently in their country’s colonization via migration.

Dublin is on edge — and things can get worse

At 1:30 p.m. last Thursday, a horrific knife attack was perpetrated outside a school on Parnell Street in Dublin’s north inner city. Three children and an adult female were stabbed by the attacker who has now been confirmed to be an Algerian male who acquired Irish citizenship and has been living in the country for the last twenty years.

Dublin riots and the controversy over Irish fighter Conor McGregor

Conor McGregor, one of the world’s most famous athletes, is standing in front of a burning bus in Dublin. Dressed in his trademark three-piece suit, he gazes into the distance as a mob — fists clenched, faces covered, petrol bombs in hand — stand behind him.

The image is a fabrication, a digitalised “artwork” posted to Twitter/X on Friday by Paul Golding, leader of the far-right political group Britain First, who has previously been convicted of religiously aggravated harassment and a terror offence.

This is just the beginning of Ireland’s riots

The Government still isn’t listening to voters’ immigration concerns

Dublin has stealthily become a tinderbox on issues of immigration. When news began to filter through on Thursday that a five-year-old girl (now in a stable but critical condition) had been stabbed, allegedly by a man originally from Algeria, the whole city braced. Many saw images of young men in the area pushing back against police and hoped that was as bad as the reaction would get.

Muslim Stabs Children at Dublin Catholic School. Media Covers It Up.

What. Where. Why.

You won’t find any of those ‘Ws’ in any story that the media is interested in covering up, rather than covering.

Take the stabbing of small children at a Catholic school in Dublin, allegedly, by an Algerian Muslim. You can read entire stories about what happened in Dublin with nary a mention of these key elements of the story.

What explains Ireland’s anti-immigration rioting?

This is not the Dublin of Guinness and glass palaces housing tech companies which it wishes to present to the world

The situation in Dublin Thursday — in which five people were injured in a knife attack in the heart of the city, resulting in a riot and violent clashes with the police — was to the untrained eye reminiscent of Belfast from days gone by.

Speculation about the nationality of the attacker fueled the scenes of violence which took place last night and that has led to condemnatory tutting. After all, Ireland’s national myth is tied into tales of immigration and welcoming. A riot over immigration in its capital city contradicts the stories Ireland tells the world about itself.

Sounds very much like Canada.

Dublin riots: Violent clashes with gardaí, vehicles set alight and looting following stabbing

Garda Commissioner says ‘lunatic, hooligan faction driven by far-right ideology’ behind violence; shops being looted and public transport services suspended


Dublin stabbing: how the chaos unfolded on Parnell Square

Shortly after 1.40pm on Thursday, journalists covering the Stardust inquests were filing lunchtime copy in the Pillar Room of the Rotunda hospital, where inquests have been under way since April. Deirdre Dames, a survivor of the 1981 fire rushed in, alerting us that someone was “after stabbing kids out there”.

RTÉ’s Conor Hunt and I, along with several others, followed her out to Parnell Square East where there were already four or five ambulances, several Dublin Fire Brigade appliances manned by paramedics and several Garda cars, as sirens blared as more arrived.

Irish Populism Starts Stirring? Dublin Conference Airs Unease Over Hate Speech Bill

Something of a European blackspot when it comes to right-wing populism, a remarkably well-attended event in Ireland over the weekend offers tangible hope that a political thaw could be coming to the Emerald Isle faster than originally anticipated.

Billed as a rallying point for Irish citizens against draconian new hate speech legislation scheduled to come onto the books over the next few months, the conference, dubbed “Ireland Uncensored” managed the best part of a thousand attendees in a country where the ruling party can scarcely manage 700 at their annual conference.

Ireland: Spike in Migrant Accommodation Prompts Tensions

Well over 20,000 migrants who have claimed asylum in Ireland are being housed by the authorities. This represents a growth of more than 14,000 since October 2021.

Figures released this month by the Irish integration department reveal that the vast majority (49%) of those accommodated are single males. Less than 20% are children and just 15% are single females.
