In an era of automation and working from home never mind emigration and a housing crisis there are no arguments for insanity like this.

Our political regime weighs us down with green taxes to allegedly promote sustainability while pursuing something as reckless as this

On the 21st of January 1919 the first Dáil was convened at the Dublin Mansion house. You can now read three of its most important declarations on Cartlann: Declaration of Independence, Message to the free Nations of the World, and the Democratic Programme

>Immigration Minister Mattias Tesfaye said yesterday the country's strict immigration policies were to be thanked for the low number of applications. 

>'Very many of those who come here have no need at all for protection,' he also claimed in the statement. 

>Among the country's strict policies was the planned deportations of Syrian refugees announced in 2019. 

>After an assessment by the Danish Immigration Service, the government ruled that some migrants could be sent back to Damascus. They concluded the capital, and its surrounds, were no longer dangerous enough for asylum to be automatically granted.

"I wanna hurt a white person today."

An African living in Ireland is discussing the reaction from African youth over the death of George Nkencho that he has witnessed.

A Nigerian I can work with.

This man suggests instead of using all their energy to change Ireland, wouldn't it be a better idea to make Nigeria a better place to live in with all the skills they have learned living in Europe. He acknowledges Africans living in Ireland are foreigners.

"Trying to force your way on people won't necessarily change things...Let's not beg for bread. Let's stand on our feet."

The idea is shot down by the host who reasons that as she as lived in Ireland for 20 years, she knows nowhere else. It's more comfortable to racial grievance monger here.

To that I would say: Her parents lived nowhere else but Nigeria until they decided to move to Ireland with her and they managed. We live in a globalised world now and people move around all the time. Time to have some of that movement in Africa's direction...

I like his Malcolm X glasses — no doubt a deliberate choice.

You might remember Okezie as the Nigerian who failed to convince Balbriggan voters of his plan that as a Fine Gael councillor he would turn an old social welfare office (guess they needed a bigger one) into a yoot centre to curb the plight of anchor babies rampaging around the town.

His new plan is to get the African yoots into the gardaí. Their "proper cultural knowledge" would prevent gardaí shooting knife wielding Africans running in their direction when all they need is a witch doctor and a gourd of root tea or something.

Okezie wants to stop "selective policing" which I have agreed is a real phenomenon.

Okezie also reveals that a recent recruit to the gardaí who was found to have been involved in the sham marriage industry was a Bangladeshi. There was a 2018 case involving a Bangladeshi but Okezie says this happened a few weeks ago so maybe it's a new case that wasn't reported 🤷🏻‍♂️

"That's a really, really exciting question which we totally haven't prompted."

Parents allowed the BBC to home-school their children and the results were predictable.

"Ireland is Institutionally racist" - Migration Law Professor Bashir Otukoya

Tánaiste Leo Varadkar opposes mandatory quarantine for "incoming visitors to Ireland" because it infringes upon the EU principle of “freedom of movement”.

At the same time, he doesn’t give a second thought to restricting yours.

‘We're on our way to CIVIL WAR.’

This is Rotterdam now, as anti-curfew riots sweep across the Netherlands since Saturday.

Dutch PM Mark Rutte called the protests 'CRIMINAL violence' and threatened to treat the participants accordingly, with hundreds of protesters arrested.

John Jorritsma, mayor of Eindhoven, took to social media calling the rioters 'the scum of the earth' and saying 'I am afraid that if we continue down this path, we're on our way to CIVIL WAR.'
