🚨 Child predator Alert in the Adamstown/Lucan area
The sister of a fourteen-year-old girl who was the victim of an alleged sexual assault by a passenger on a bus in the Adamstown/Lucan area has issued a request for any information from the public about the man.
The girl's sister says the man was touching her sister and trying to put his hand beneath her skirt while sitting beside her on the top deck of the bus which was travelling the C1/C2 route.
The girl, who was wearing her school uniform, managed to take footage of the man as he got up to get off at the Arthur Griffith Park stop despite his attempt to conceal his face with the hood of his jacket.

More footage of the African gang involved in the incident in Bailis outside Navan at the weekend. One of them shows off the large knife he's carrying on him.
According to the Meath Examiner (who described the gang as 'youths from Dublin' as I predicted) a 19-year-old male in the Bailis Manor area received a "minor leg laceration" and was taken to Our Lady's Hospital, Navan but Gardaí could not confirm whether the injury was as a result of stabbing as was being reported on social media, so the victim must not be talking.
Of the gang, one person was arrested for public order and was later released without charge with a file to be prepared for the DPP. Ten arrests were made for the purpose of drugs searches but no drugs were seized as a result.
Gardaí are working on the theory that the incident was drugs related.

Ryevale House in Leixlip deforested during nesting season in preparation for the incoming plantation — very green, Roderic.
Locals are being told the estate which is listed as a protected structure will only be accommodating single female asylum seekers.
We'll see how that works out.

Also very green:
Woodchips have been shipped more than 7,000km on a two-week voyage from Brazil to be burned by Bord na Móna at its Edenderry power plant.
The ship, a 40,000 tonne Japanese registered woodchip carrier called Dynagreen, was met by a fleet of trucks to haul its cargo from the Limerick quayside directly to the Bord na Móna plant 180km away in Co Offaly.
Edenderry is Bord na Móna’s biomass-power station. It was originally commissioned as a peat-burning plant and is set to fully phase out the use of peat this year.
From then, it will rely on 100% biomass for fuel with a plan to use 24,000t of imported woodchips this year, rising to over 175,000t in 2024.

Hate Speech Legislation
Today with Claire Byrne
Last November, TD Jennifer Carroll MacNeill explained the intention behind including the offence of possessing material "likely to incite violence or hatred" in the hate speech legislation.
MacNeill, who sat on the Oireachtas committee to tease out the details of the legislation, told RTÉ that "the most appalling holocaust denial material" had been posted in her constituency recently and she wanted laws which could prosecute people who possessed such material before they had a chance to circulate it.
The material in question was Issue 14 of the Irish Light newspaper which contained an excerpt from a Culture Wars essay titled 'The Denial of Holocaust Denial' casting doubt on the view that six million Jewish people were systematically murdered during WW2.
Recent research uncovered by a Jewish historian at an Israeli Institute of Holocaust Research suggests the figure was first conceived by a Zionist activist in 1943 for shock value as at the time, six million was the accepted total number of Jews in Europe.

Motivation vs Demonstration
Today with Claire Byrne
TD Paul Murphy also took issue with a “demonstration test” being used to prove hate crime offences rather than a “motivation test” which is used in the majority of countries with hate crime legislation.
Murphy said that in the UK the consequence of a demonstration test is disproportionate convictions for 'people of colour' which he blamed on systemic racism by the police who wish to enhance the penalty for suspects using something uttered in the heat of the moment.
Seamus Taylor, Head of the Dept of Applied Social Studies in Maynooth University, and the migrant-focused NGO Nasc had argued for the inclusion of the demonstration test in the legislation as they said having to prove beyond a reasonable doubt the motivation of the accused was “too high” and would lead to low prosecution levels.
They told the justice committee that relying solely on the motivational test is about 'getting into the mind of the perpetrator' rather than evidence of demonstrated hostility,” before, during or after any incident.

Ireland is one Europe's largest data-centre hubs serving all of big tech and they want to make it illegal for any one of their servers to contain content transgressing an ill-defined concept of 'hate'.
I don't think they thought this through.

United Against Racism using Ballaghderreen and Ballyhaunis as examples of towns which have been 'rejuvenated by migrants' to hit back at a Mayo County Council motion seeking to halt any further settlement of asylum seekers in the county is not quite the persuasion tactic they think it is.
