Hold on a minute. I was reliably informed by shitlibs and commies that artificially increasing the population through immigration has no effect on housing. Now the Irish Independent are printing the far right conspiracy theory known as "supply and demand" economics?

"the report suggests the country’s housing needs over the next two decades could vary widely depending on the rate of inward migration – which it sees as the key driver of housing demand.

The higher estimate for housing is based on the population hitting around six million.

Even a less extreme so-called base-line scenario sees a need for 28,000 new homes a year, based on a rise in population by 925,000 between now now 2040.

ESRI researchers think the bulk of the new population, 514,000 people, will be concentrated in and around Dublin and will be the engine of a surge in housing demand in the east and midlands."

So a failed homosexual South African asylum seeker who cynically applied for asylum and that Depart of Justice wants deported for having his application rejected numerous times who is fed chicken, rice and fish with a roof over his head while there's 10,000 homeless Irish is ''one of the 21 people who will shape Irish culture in 2021.''

Ireland has been chosen as the location for a new academy "to educate around the whole question of misinformation and disinformation about migrants".

Leonard Doyle, Head of Media and Communications at the UN's International Organization for Migration told RTÉ's Morning Ireland that the reason Ireland was chosen was because there's a very strong history of migration in Ireland and "there's a huge knowledge about it".

He also said the the university system is particularly interested and the media are "open and excellent" and that the Irish government were willing to support it with a significant amount of money though he wouldn't say how much.

Students will be able to enroll on a masters course next year.

The academy is a global initiative located in the Philippines, Serbia, Morocco and Mexico with Ireland acting as the anchor.

Doyle says he expects the course to attract students of journalism.

Andy Heasman handed two months prison in Castlebar district court. Details unclear but it relates to an incident where Heasman refused to wear a mask on a bus indicating to gardaí that were called to the scene that he was exempt as a result of a medical condition.

It would appear they got him on a public order offence as a result of using expletives. Prosecution suggested that he had insulted other bus passengers despite there being no testimony from any passengers at the trial. The public were not allowed into the court. There is a chance he may be released pending the payment of €500.

"Man sentenced to two months in prison for face mask offence" reads the headline on RTÉ News who report that Judge Fiona Lydon in Castlebar district court sentenced Andy Heasman to the prison term "for an offence of failing to wear a face mask on public transport at Main Street, Ballyhaunis on 14 July last."

This according to Gemma and John is fake news. Heasman was found guilty of a public order offence for using the expletive "fucking" when he agreed to obey gardaí's orders in his remark "I'm getting off the fucking bus now."

Moses Lulendo (19), an African man living in Ireland, has been jailed for just 18 months for being part of a large mob who tried to storm their way into Lost Lane nightclub (formerly Lillie's Bordello) off Grafton St in Dublin and petrol bomb it. (The captions are not mine in the security footage above).

Lulendo, of Gardiner Place in Dublin city, has 16 previous convictions including public order offences committed on July 16, 2019, nine days after the incident. He also pleaded guilty to two robberies of an iPhone at a playground on October 29, 2017.

The incident occurred on the 7th of July 2019. I remember at the time Marlay Park had been hosting the Longitude Festival over the weekend. The line up included a number of rap and grime acts.

The US state department at the time issued advice for American citizens to stay away tweeting that "reports indicate a potential for violence" and that gardaí had increased security and were monitoring the situation. No warning was given to Irish citizens and gardaí refused to comment.

The promoters, MCD, balked at the suggestion violence could occur and said they were shocked the American government said that it might.

As it turned out, no serious incidents were reported to have occurred at the festival (perhaps because of the increased garda presence and monitoring) but whatever rap beef the US State Department was privy to came to fruition on Sunday night at a sort of after party at the Lost Lane night club who were hosting Naira Marley — a Nigerian grime artist who lives in Peckham (real name Azeez Adeshina Fashola and no relation to Bob).

A large gang of around 20 yoofs tried to storm the night club and one of them was caught on CCTV attempting to light the fuse of a petrol bomb. The club’s door staff managed to seal the doors, thwarting the attack and also recovered a cache of weapons hidden inside a Brown Thomas bag — including an axe, hatchet and a crow bar — before gardaí arrived.

Two of the door staff suffered minor injuries. It took them 45 minutes to clear the club with many demanding a refund of the €25 they paid for the gig.

Detective Garda Sarah Barry told the court that after 17 years working in the city centre, she had never seen anything like this incident. In a victim impact report, a doorman from the venue said he had worked for over a decade in security and this incident was the most vulnerable he had felt in that time. He said he grew up in Belfast and was very aware of the devastation that could be caused by petrol bombs.

The media downplayed the incident as much as they could and offered no commentary on the violence championed in the grime music scene and its real life consequences — probably much too busy penning articles about Black Lives Matter and dreaming up ways to disenfranchise Irish people who don't want their cities, towns and villages turned into the multiculti utopias that British ones have become.

In the aftermath, MCD attempted to sue the Irish Times for suggesting the incident may have been connected to the Longitude music festival.

Not sure what came of that but I agree with MCD as it was connected to the inherent violence of the grime music scene and the consequences of importing Africa into Ireland which we're not allowed to talk about.

Just 18 months for Carragaline stabber. Poor guy has been subjected to hatred in his community over his attempted murder of a young defenceless boy and has since had to move out of Cork.
