Why should someone's religious ideology be classed as a protected characteristic with heightened legal weight over someone else's political ideology? Which type of hate & violence do we see more of?
Likewise, why someone's skin colour, but not their red hair? It's discriminatory law.

Some notable aspects of the hate speech legislation.
>A ‘motivation test’ taking into account social media presence and political affiliations which can be taken into account in any sentencing.
>Evidence of a hate aspect to a crime can include membership of an ‘organised hate group’, previous comments or gestures made by the defendant.

Ireland has now run out room to accommodate asylum seekers after Minister Darragh O'Brien announced that there would be no cap on the numbers we accept 3 weeks ago.
It is suggested new asylum seekers should stay at the airport if they have no other arrangements.

Laois Offaly TD Carol Nolan has confirmed the government plans to build 500 modular homes in the next two years at a cost of €100 million to house 2,000 Ukrainian refugees on publicly owned urban sites around the country.
In addition, there will be ongoing facilities management, maintenance and utilities costs, and post-installation costs at an estimated €1.25m from 2023 onwards, said Deputy Nolan.
They say they're for Ukrainians but by the time anyone is put them, will they really be for the very tanned variety....🤔

A mother in Ongar has shared footage of a man who was filming children for 45 minutes at a playground. Gardaí say their hands are tied as filming minors is not a crime.
Other mothers have told her a similar man was seen flashing children at local primary schools while a man with a similar description told a 2-year-old on a Ballyfermot bus that he would like to have sex with her.
She blames an increase of incidents like these involving immigrant men on poor vetting by the authorities.
She adds that by delegitimising concern as racism, the media is creating hate and division.

So after 25 years of allowing fake refugees to abuse the asylum system, the DoJ is now going to “step up” its role in both assessing “genuine cases” and returning people coming from countries not at war.
I call bullshit.

The Red Cross is very concerned that asylum seekers presenting as Ukrainian but without any proof will be turned back to where they came from. 🤔
On asylum seekers arriving at Dublin airport:
"We have noticed that an increasing number of people who...ehhm-err...came from Ukraine but they did not have the correct passport stamped facility..."
How does Liam O'Dwyer know they came from Ukraine so?
