This is what Sinn Fein councillor for kerry cathal Foley thinks of the decent people of east wall and the people of inner city Dublin in general. A despicable and degrading comment from someone who represents a party who claim to be a party ofntge working class! He appears to mock the genuine fears that the locals have with a massive influx of unvetted single men in to their community. Oh and by the way, he's mocking the very constituents his party leader represents! Is this how your party veiw the people of inner city Dublin Mary Lou?

EastWall needs to go harder now....

Malachy Steenson speaking at the protest in East Wall last night:

"When a similar issue arose in Ballsbridge in Dublin 4 two years ago, the residents issued court proceedings and threatened to injunct the Department [of Justice]. They closed that facility down and moved on. So if it's not good enough for the likes of Ballsbridge where the upper professional classes live, then it's not good enough for East Wall."

"All of these NGOs who are making a good living out of this issue off the backs of ordinary working class people, and there's something fundamentally wrong with a society which pays I think close to €7 Billion to NGOs and associated groups in order to articulate government policy effectively....to say that these people in this constituency, in this community should not be consulted about a fundamental change in this area, never mind the flouting of planning laws or fire safety regulations in turning a commercial office building into accommodation."

"Sinn Féin particularly agrees with an open-door immigration policy, and we invited all the councillors in this constituency to a meeting today. Sinn Féin would not turn up. That speaks for itself."

A delay in the gombeen payments. Now there's an emergency the Taoiseach is concerned about.

There has been no consultation with local schools over a new Direct Provision centre at the 300 acre Kippure Lodge estate in Wicklow which is situated 5 miles from Kilbride village, and 9 miles from Blessington.

20 spacious, bright cottages on the estate each having a wood-burning stove are expected to accommodate up to 50 asylum seeker families.

But it is understood that there has been no contact with the primary schools in Kilbride or Blessington, nor the post primary in Blessington.

The 300 acre estate at Kippure was bought in 2019 by the investment fund Quanta Capital.

Strictly no Irish homeless families will be accommodated at the cottages.

Social Democrats TD Gary Gannon says every county in Ireland is going to be enhanced by asylum seekers which he admitted are impossible to vet as he condemned the protests in East Wall on the Claire Byrne show today.

Gannon says Ireland has an obligation to accommodate unlimited numbers of asylum seekers, the majority of whom fail their asylum applications but are granted Leave To Remain regardless.

In 2018, for example, 99.7% of Albanian asylum seekers were rejected as were 97% of Georgians, 95% of Nigerians and 86% of Zimbabweans. All Pakistani asylum seekers were rejected in 2017.

Asylum applications have quadrupled this year after Government committed to providing all asylum seekers their own homes within four months of arrival.

But there is a long queue of asylum seekers in Direct Provision awaiting their permanent homes as Minister for Justice Helen McEntee issued a blanket amnesty to all asylum seekers in the system over two years as part of her blanket amnesty for illegals earlier in the year.

Philip Dwyer's stream tonight on the latest protest in East Wall.

I'd forward his channel only he appears to have posted a bad link and consequently I didn't catch it live.

A few time stamps:

05:46 He talks about chatting to Nigel Murphy who says he was misidentified as a member of the IRSP. The IRSP's tweet suggested they were claiming but if that's not the case, fair enough and apologies.

09:38 Solicitor Malachy Steenson addresses the crowd which has moved away from the ESB building. It sounds like Steenson is in the process of challenging the contract for the building as being in breach of the planning laws but he can't say much about it. If that's the case great, but the crowd does sound deflated.

19:36 Steenson says he totally rejects Gary Gannon's assertion that the protestors are racist or involved in some sort of right-wing conspiracy. He also mocks Taoiseach Micheál Martin's claim that the protests are being orchestrated by Putin in some fashion. The crowd laughs.

20:28 Nigel Murphy addresses the crowd.

24:30 Philip has a conversation with Gearóid Murphy.

37:27 Philip bumps into TG4/RTÉ who are doing a live broadcast on the protest. Philip schools them on some of the facts they conceal from the public like that fact that up to 90% of International Protection applicants fail their asylum claim but are rarely deported. Maithú, Phil 👍🏻.

Malachy Steenson did fantastic on Red FM this morning discussing the asylum racket situation in East Wall.

He got a lot of facts out. Only a shame that Neil Prendeville in Cork is the only talk show host in the country who would give him a fair hearing, but once you hear it, you'll understand why other radio stations won't.

These are the facts they don't want the public hearing.

Africans in Ireland can rap about shooting, stabbing and throwing acid into the faces of rival gang members earning millions views on youtube, but the poem above got removed for violating guidelines immediately.

Here's the youtube channel.

Malachy Steenson Red FM interview supercut.

The asylum system is being abused.

No protest has occurred yet but the cathaoirleach is already assured it's racist 🤦‍♂️😂

If only he would put his psychic powers to some use like turning fake refugees back at the airport.

A concerned Wicklow residents group were told last night that IPAS will be sending an educational officer to the Grand Hotel to teach the new residents about cultural norms in Ireland.

Wonder why that's needed. 🤔

EXCLUSIVE: Amid the East Wall protests, an investigation by The Burkean has found that a number of shuttered Irish nursing homes are now being used to house government migrants.

Full investigation to be published later today.

#NursingHomeScandal

"At a time when the residents of East Wall are forced to protest against an office block becoming migrant housing, how is there no money for nursing homes in Ireland, but there seems to be money for refugees to be housed instead?"

An Algerian resident of the EBS building came out to speak to protestors in East Wall tonight. Said he lived in Greece before moving to London and now he's here. Asylum shopper. 👇🏻

This is the loophole they are using to get around regulations & to *NOT put homeless Irish people first.
This government has lost all control & vision.

"Planning permission will not be required to convert buildings to house refugees for the next two years due to “unprecedented numbers” seeking protection in Ireland, Minister of State for Housing Malcolm Noonan has told an Oireachtas housing committee.
Mr Noonan was briefing the committee on the proposed amendments to the planning and development regulations which would mean the conversion of a non-residential building by the State to house people seeking international protection, would be exempt from the requirement to obtain planning permission.
If approved by the Oireachtas next week, it was the intention the amendments would be signed into law “at the earliest possible date” Mr Noonan said.
The changes were needed to cope with the huge demand for accommodation faced since the outbreak of war in Ukraine, he said."

This is the same expert group which told us we need to end Direct Provision, provide all asylum seekers their own homes and give an amnesty to all asylum seekers in the system despite up 90% of failing their claim annually.

Now they're telling us we need to build five more direct provision centres which can accommodate up to 750 asylum seekers each because when their previous expert advice was implemented, it attracted five times as many asylum seekers as we usually get.

The experts are the problem.
