>About half of the families and single adults who became homeless in Dublin in the first five months of this year were not Irish citizens. 22 per cent from outside the EU.
>This would sometimes include families βcoming directly to you from the airportβ to present as homeless.
>Some homeless EU citizens did not qualify for supports such as the Housing Assistance Payment (Hap), often because they were not employed.
Simple solution: House the Irish, not the world.

Remember the plan to provide a free daily bus service from Kinnegad to Dublin for the asylum seekers which was championed by Cllr Denis Leonard and the steering committee as one of the solutions they'd negotiated for with the Dept of Equality? The thinking was it would mean less loitering around the town.
He's now claiming that the steering group have "continually highlighted their misgivings" about this plan as it would limit the town's ability to integrate the unvetted single men from Africa and the Middle East.
Ukrainians won't need the bus as their children are in the local school, you see. He definitely isn't racist, OKAY! π

Thomas with the tiocfaidh Γ‘r lΓ‘ avatar is going to be monitoring the reaction of Kinnegad locals to make sure they are equally distressed about the Ukrainians arriving to prove they weren't just motivated by racism all along.

Some details in the London Times about who owns Harry's Hotel in Kinnegad.
>Coldec Investments 2, which is controlled by Rickie Rogers, agreed in late June to acquire Sicuro Holdings, the owner of the hotel. Sicuro is owned by Ann and Niamh Collins.
>Accounts for Sicuro show that Coldec acquired an option to buy the company in January this year.
>The proposed transaction is being funded with loans from Rinawade Investments, also controlled by Rogers. In total, the businessman seems to be committing β¬3 million to the proposed deal.
>Rogers is part of the management team that acquired Mercury Engineering from the OβKane family in a deal that valued the business at β¬50 million.
>Mercury Engineering Holdings posted revenues of just over β¬1 billion in 2020, and operating profits of β¬62 million.
>Rogers is Mercuryβs chief operating officer.
If he's getting the full β¬6,000 per room per month, there are 45 rooms so that's β¬3,240,000 for the year, just over what he paid.

More than a thousand migrants who set sail across the Mediterranean from Libya and Tunisia arrived in Italy within a few hours two days ago on top of the 34,000 who have arrived so far this year.
They're coming from Afghanistan, Pakistan, Sudan, Ethiopia and Somalia among other countries.
Italy needs drastic action.
Giorgia Meloni's Brothers of Italy party leads an alliance that includes Matteo Salviniβs Lega party and Silvio Berlusconiβs Forza Italia, which is tipped to win with a clear majority in elections this September.
You can see why.

Animal welfare activists are organising a protest on the 28th outside the home of a Fine Gael councillor in Clonmel who is getting a Jack Russell called Kim put down because it nipped her on the leg.
Kim belongs to an 85-year-old retired garda called Donal Rogers and has been described as his chief companion.
Supposedly Cllr Breid Greene is bit of a canine hit woman with two dead dogs to her name already. She's refused all offers of compensation and ignored the petition signed by 58,000 people begging for clemency.
I've blocked out her address in this screen grab and don't advise protesting outside her home. More effective to protest outside the local Fine Gael office and hand out leaflets explaining the story to passersby. Then leaflet every house in her electoral area. If 50 people show up to the protest, it's short work.
A woman called Bernie Wright is organising the protest though she appears to have deleted or locked this post so maybe she's had second thoughts.

"One of the most striking features of the bardic literature is this dominant conception of the Irish race, as forming a single homogeneous nation, owing allegiance to a single sovereign, and governed by edicts issuing from one centre of rightful authority, namely, Tara."

On this day in 1575, over 600 Scottish and Irish Gaels were massacred on Rathlin Island by an English force under Francis Drake and John Norreys. Of the 600, around 200 were surrendered soldiers. The rest were old men, women, children and the infirm, who were sent to the island for safety and hiding in the caves.
The Scots and Irish used Rathlin Island as a sanctuary due to its natural defenses of rocky shores, but also because it was respected as a place of refuge, having been associated historically with St. Columba.
Walter Devereux, Earl of Essex (pictured), ordered the killings and later boasted in a letter to Queen Elizabeth's secretary that the head of the MacDonnell clan, Sorley Boy MacDonnell, watched helplessly from the mainland as his entire family was slaughtered.

Sudanese migrant Nassar Ahmed jailed for life for murdering Eoin Boylan in Ennis, Co Clare. Ahmed has six previous convictions and came to Ireland in the 2000s. It's not explained how.
Ahmed had claimed he was acting in self-defence. CCTV footage showed him lunging towards Mr Boylan with a knife, stabbing him three times, as the deceased tried to back away.
Eoin Boylan's then girlfriend Susan O'Doherty was Ahmed's ex-partner.
Mr Boylan's mother told the court that she held her son while he lay dying and said she is "haunted" by his death and by his last words: "He stabbed me, ma. He stabbed me."
Catherine Martin said the murder of her son has "shattered my heart", leaving her struggling every day with the "heavy weight of despair".
