Malachy Steenson speaking outside the offices of the Irish Independent.

"We're here at the Independent offices who know the ground is shifting. They know they've lost this battle and they're still writing pieces about us calling us fascist, calling us far-right. We have adopted a new logo for the far-right in Ireland. It's a buggy."

"We will shift the political ground here and let nobody be under any illusions...There are people in Germany now protesting, inspired by the people here. There are people in England protesting because of the people here. There are people in Sweden and right around Europe. This is the only issue."

Trade union leader Brendan Ogle is slated for smearing protesters in an interview on Newstalk this week.

"This is a man who is a senior member of Unite trade union who claims to represent the working class — a man who was venomous in his hatred for you people here today...He told us we need to be re-educated. We are the people who are doing the re-education. He is the one that needs to be re-educated along with Unite, SIPTU and all the other trade unions in the country."

Gavan Pepper from Finglas speaking outside the Irish Times offices on Tara St.

"Look around because I don't see a minority here. We're the majority here. We're sick of being called racists. We're sick of being called liars. We're out for our kids and our families. This particular paper tells lies every day about us...We're out for the safety of our kids. That's all we're here for. And they're not safe on the streets of Dublin any more, are they?..Are we gonna put up with it?..What are we gonna do?"

—"GET THEM OUT!"

Paul Fitzsimons speaking outside the Dáil:

"This needs to stop. They need to be held accountable for everything they are doing to this country. This country is on its knees and they're bringing in more migrants.

"They have put €50 million into this to bring refugees in. We're better served bringing the €50 million out to Dublin airport and getting them out of this country. We don't want them here.

"Our children can't walk the streets. Our wives can't walk the streets. Even our boys can't walk the streets now. This has to stop."

Mullingar pulled a large crowd yesterday who want to keep the pressure on.

There's serious tension as Roderic O'Gorman's Dept of Equality intends to accommodate 120 male asylum seekers in tents (and later portacabins) at a former army barracks using a system where new men are bussed in every three weeks while others are bussed out.

“The intention is that no person should have to stay at Columb Barracks for more than three weeks before being moved on to more suitable accommodation."

However, there is a lot of space at the site, and with the ever-increasing demand to source accommodation for asylum seekers, the number of men placed there could easily swell. Many community groups currently use the grounds for sport and social activities.

One local woman told the crowd:

"It's very important we make sure to keep this momentum going and we stay on the streets and defend what is ours. It's not racist to want to protect your own race and defend your own nation."

A grand total of three asylum seekers were deported to the EU member states they came from last year out of 24 decisions issued.

Government is really putting its shoulder to the wheel now. I wonder if they can top out at four this year. Fingers crossed. 🤞🏻

Minister Simon Harris said it's a bit tricky because they make legal challenges and Minister Helen McEntee's Dept of Justice can't always figure which country they arrived from.

Between January and July of last year 4,404 people were refused leave to land at Irish borders with approximately 88% claiming asylum. 2,590 had arrived from other EU member states. The countries of origin for 1,322 others were unknown.

Under the Dublin III Agreement, Ireland is entitled to deport asylum seekers to any EU member state they came here from.

The reason the majority of people are protesting asylum seekers being accommodated in their communities is because they are unemployed and have nothing else to do, according to Zak Moradi on #RTEUpfront. He advises an increase in their social welfare payments in response.
