The Irish tourism industry is on the verge of collapse after government figures suggested that up to 10,000 jobs may be lost due to using hotels to house refugees. Potentially billions have been lost as regional towns are set to miss out on lucrative summer trading.
The Republic of Ireland has struggled with an influx of refugees the past year, with 83,000 claiming asylum in 2022, compounding the country’s already pre-existing housing shortages.
Once again, the higher clergy abandons its responsibilities.
As I touched down in Ireland the morning of Easter Sunday, I was saddened to think how sparse the Catholic faith — and with it, conservatism — has become in that once-proud bastion of sainthood. Still sometimes called “the land of saints and scholars,” Ireland has become in recent years a hotbed of moral degeneracy and political leftism, fueled by anti-Catholicism and resisted by precious few of those who cling to the faith that St. Patrick preached so many ages ago.
A man has denied deliberately ramming an anti-mass migration protest with his car, instead blaming the “racist mob” for causing the collision.
Stephen Bedford, 36, has reportedly denied allegations that he intentionally rammed his car into a number of anti-mass migration protesters earlier this week, accusing what he described as the “racist mob” of protesters — who were on foot — as causing the collision.
Ireland has an immigration problem. Almost a year after refugees started to arrive from Ukraine, leaving state capacity buckled and local communities unnerved, two very different expressions of civic disorder have emerged. In one, migrants are housed in cubicle dorms in office buildings or, even worse, in tents. In the other, grassroots anti-migrant protests are sweeping across the country, rallying around the slogan “Ireland is Full”. There were 307 anti-migrant protests in 2022, while 2023 has already seen 64. At the latest demonstration in Dublin, on Tuesday, more than 2,000 protestors took to the streets.
The leftist President of Ireland has attacked anti-mass migration protesters in the country, accusing them of “sowing hate”.
Michael D. Higgins, the President of Ireland, has lashed out at the growing number of anti-mass migration protests taking place in the country, attacking those attending the demonstrations for “sowing hate”.

Immigration is not just a major concern among the people of the U.S. We tend to forget that cities in Europe have also seen major influxes of migrants from across the world, including Germany and now Ireland. The country has seen a large influx of migrants from Ukraine and other countries, and not everyone in the country is happy about it. Now, it appears Ireland’s leaders want to quell dissenting opinions.
IRELAND – Dublin protests at the influx of migrants taking all available housing and council accommodation. Their politicians say migrants are welcome….
…They just didn’t bother asking the people.

Independent Irish Senator Sharon Keogan pointed to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s use of the Emergencies Act to freeze the assets of Freedom Convoy protestors and their supporters as a stark abuse of government power.
Dundalk’s Lisa Smith will be sentenced in July following her conviction at the Special Criminal Court
Lisa Smith had been back in Ireland just a few hours when she was handed a cup of coffee by detectives at Store Street Garda Station. “The coffee is very strong in Syria,” she said, “this tastes very watery.”
It was a mild element of the culture shock she was experiencing. Over the next four days she would recall how her fear of hell-fire prompted her to go to Syria where she first lived in what she described as a women’s prison. She recalled her reluctant marriage and the beatings she received from her husband and the time she saw a dead man hanging from a cross with his eyes gouged out. There were the bombs that started to destroy the Islamic State she had travelled thousands of miles to be part of, forcing her to flee from city to village and town where she would watch as people were gunned down by snipers while she struggled to feed herself and her baby. She would recall saying goodbye to her husband as he returned to fight in a certain-death battle and then there were the long months in a refugee camp where horrific punishments, including burning alive, were inflicted even for minor infractions.
“Is it a great success that a multi-billionaire would be now deciding what is appropriate for people to exchange by way of discourse? I think it can hardly be described as anything other than a manifestation of an incredible and dangerous narcissism,” the 5’3″ octogenarian opined at what was supposed to be a climate change conference at Dublin City University, clearly referring to Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter but declining to identify the South African entrepreneur by name.
Hillary Clinton has finally been inaugurated… as the first female chancellor of Queen’s University in Belfast, Ireland – but not before she was loudly heckled on the way to her coronation.
Home invasion by Irish police of a man who filmed them disrupting Catholic mass, which went viral after it was posted on CFP last week. The police broke down his door at 3am, surrounded his bed, chased and captured his children, who have now disappeared into the infamous Irish foster system.
