🚨 Attempted child abduction in Dublin 1

A Dublin woman has posted that at around 9:45pm on Monday a foreign man dragged a young girl into a red van at the junction of Yarnhall Street & Henrietta place off Bolton St in the north inner city.

The girl managed to escape the van and ran into the flats screaming but the man chased after her and tried to drag her back out.

After two separate neighbours went to investigate the commotion, the man fled on foot. It is believed CCTV footage from a pub managed to record the incident.

Video taken at scene show the van parked on Yarnhall St subsequently being on fire.

Locals have expressed horror, especially as so many of their children play around that area.

"It's absolutely heartbreaking for the young girls growing up, that's who I'm afraid for. It's disgraceful. This government just does not give two shites about Irish people. May god forgive them for letting all these dirty filthy scumbags in. No one is safe any more. Sad times."

🚨 Community Alert for Dublin 8

A Dublin mother says she's never felt so shaken up after an experience near the Circle K on Usher's Quay which left her child in tears.

The woman was buying milk from the garage's hatch at around 10:30pm on Monday when she got the feeling someone was standing disturbingly close behind her. She grabbed her child's hand and rang her partner and then noticed an associate of the man putting petrol in what looked like a taxi. She identified the men as foreign.

Nervous, she proceeded to make her way home, but looking back noticed the vehicle approaching her which then swerved into the direction she was going. When one of the men jumped out, she and her child ran back to the Circle K screaming.

The man continued after her until he realised she was on the phone and then returned to the vehicle which sped off in the opposite direction.

She described the vehicle as resembling a dark VW Caddy similar to a vehicle used in a failed abduction earlier on Monday night.

Locals protested outside the gates of Aughrim St Sports Centre in Stoneybatter this evening.

Protesters sought assurances from gardaí who attended the scene that no male asylum seekers would be accommodated at the sports hall, making known their specific concern about any attempt to house Somali men there as rumours have been circulating online that it had been singled out for their use.

Almost all Somalis have had their asylum claims accepted in Ireland in recent years and they are one of the groups who are expedited thought the asylum process along with applicants from Libya, Sudan, Yemen, Syria, Afghanistan & Eritrea.

Once asylum seekers have been granted refugee status or given subsidiary protection, they can use the family reunification programme to bring in parents, spouses and children under 18.

All parties in the Dáil except Fine Gael want to extend this programme's scope to include grandparents, children over 18, siblings, cousins, nephews & nieces, as was the case before 2015.

Quick Fact-Check on this tweet claiming the @orlaredchan account was banned from twitter for the "vilest racism and homophobia imaginable":

The twitter account was banned after a state-funded NGO lifer dishonestly reported a video of an African man brandishing his cock at women on Dublin's O'Connell St as 'non-consensual nudity'.

Debunked as disinformation.

Nothing appalling about this telegram channel either, except the crimes against Irish people which it documents.
