A study of pregnancies over an eight-year period from 2012 to 2019 was carried out at Dublin's Rotunda maternity hospital in relation to maternal medical complications which they say are on the rise. It revealed a startling statistic.

During the period of the study, 81,504 women accessed maternity services at the hospital and there were 67,894 births.

38.8pc of the women were recorded as not being Irish.

They usually count anyone with Irish citizenship as Irish so the number of foreign mothers giving birth in the Rotunda is probably higher still.

Over the eight-year period, the most common severe maternal morbidities were hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, accounting for 45pc of cases, followed by post-birth haemorrhage which accounted for 44pc of cases, while sepsis accounted for 12pc of cases of severe maternal morbidity.

They say other studies showed “people from minority groups have higher rates of complications for a number of different reasons”.

BALLYMUN JOINS EAST WALL: here is my report on the Ballymun protest against the "refugee" centre set up in the area.

While I was out filming a local woman approached me and said that a "refugee" from the Travelodge exposed himself to a 70 year old Irish woman by waving his "manhood" at her - after she told him to go back to his country. These are the "doctors and engineers" your taxes are paying for.

The next protest is today at 5pm.

On a lighter note, it must be noted that the local lady also told me to zip up my jacket so I "don't get pneumonia". 100% certified Irish Mammy.

Dublin Lord Mayor Caroline Conroy (Greens) told the Claire Byrne show today that the protests in Ballymun at the weekend have been really upsetting, embarrassing and frustrating and accused "far-right winged protestors" who are not locals of being behind them.

She said that Ballymun is about "bringing people in" and welcoming them but I guess that gesture doesn't extend to Irish people opposed to predominantly fake refugees being facilitated to abuse the asylum system and then planted all over the country against the wishes of communities.

In the interview on national prime time radio, she said the voices of the majority in Ballymun were being drowned out because the minority are normally the loudest.

She claimed the protestors were a minority and said their voices shouldn't be allowed to be heard, which is weird because usually they tell us we need to amplify the voices of minorities.

They're having a crisis meeting today to figure out how to cope as the regime was off for the weekend.

Spare a thought for the regime-backed astroturfed community groups standing up for unlimited immigration, guys.

Their voices are being drowned out and they have to manage to get by with only constant platforming across the media.

Great numbers out in Ballymun again for the third evening of protest.

90% of Tonight Show views disapprove of the government's response to the refugee crisis.

The host says the meaning of this poll is open to interpretation, but that's deliberate. They could have asked a more direct question if they really wanted to understand public opinion, but they don't.

When the public are asked directly if Ireland should take in more refugees, the answer from the majority is they don't.

This is refugees they're being asked about too, not asylum seekers whose applications are predominantly rejected but are mostly allowed to stay regardless. I would guess the percentage of the public who want no more of them being allowed to abuse the asylum system is substantially higher.
