Economist Dan O'Brien is asking the Immigrant Council's Brian Killoran if his NGO performed any studies on whether Helen McEntee's amnesty for illegals and asylum seekers last year incentivised the surge in asylum applications. An article in the Sunday Times saying it did has enraged the NGO class.

Killoran, who is frequently presented as an expert on immigration by the regime, had responded to this article stating he is assured the amnesty had zero impact and then spreads blatant disinformation that the amnesty was only open to illegals who had been in the country for five+ years.

In fact, the amnesty was open to asylum seekers who had been in the system for two years as well as illegals who had been here for at least four years or three if they had children. This was downplayed by the media who only referred to the amnesty as a 'scheme for undocumented'.

Foreign 'travel gurus' on social media subsequently used the amnesty to advertise Ireland as a top destination in Europe for illegals.

Even the writer of yesterday's Sunday Times article doesn't seem to know that the amnesty was open to asylum seekers too which was a key recommendation in Catherine Day's White Paper on ending direct provision to clear out the system which Helen McEntee subsequently adopted as policy.

The paper said that a blanket amnesty could clear out 3,585 asylum seekers in direct provision. 3,000 were subsequently successful in applying for the amnesty but most are still in the system as there's nowhere to house them.

In order to persuade asylum seekers to agree to the amnesty instead of following their claims through so that they would all be cleared out in bulk, Catherine Day's advisory group also wanted them all to be able to avail of the family reunification programme which rejected asylum claimants who are granted leave-to-remain regardless are usually not entitled to.

Sorcha Pollak championed the recommendations in the Irish Times as forecast to "save millions".

Welcoming the abuse of our asylum system while denigrating those who oppose the racket is a lucrative enterprise:

In 2021 the Clare Immigrant Support Centre received €203,363 in funding. Of that money, €202,726 came from public funds – almost 75% goes to paying their own wages.

On top of that, they also got €20,000 last year from the International Protection Integration Fund.

Sinn Féin TD Dessie Ellis meeting with Turnapin locals this evening.

Ellis told the locals he believed their concerns about the govt's intention to dump 303 single male asylum seekers in a warehouse were overblown and dismissed their reports of a number of sexual assaults by foreigners in the area.

He said the govt had a two year contract to house asylum seekers there.

One of the women said she didn't believe any of the men were coming from war-torn areas and wondered why they didn't bring their partners, mothers or children with them but Ellis told her she was wrong and other factors were causing them to flee like famine and starvation.

The latest reported top three countries of origin for asylum seekers are Nigeria, Georgia & Algeria, all with rejection rates typically above 90%.

One local man told Ellis he needed to cop on to himself and that he was talking through his rear end. Locals took umbrage with the presence of a Daily Mail reporter and Ellis walked away, upset he was being filmed.

On the Late Late show last Friday, Micheál Martin used the clip of the school kid being attacked in Navan to legitimise the powers they're in the process of handing to a new online media regulator, acting as if the real crime was the sharing of the clip and not the attack itself. Apparently the gardaí have even requested people not to share it.

This despite, as Pink News confirmed here, it being the family of the victim who put the clip online themselves as they believed the authorities had shown little interest in pursuing the attackers.

It had seemed as though they would prefer the incident hushed up which was curious considering an attack like that would normally be used to validate the hate crime legislation they're currently pushing through.

People consequently suspected there had been an omerta as members of another protected class were involved in carrying out the attack. It's a possibility.

However, I'm now hearing chatter circulating in Navan that there's more to the story...

The camp chairs are out, the fire's on, the tables are being set up and the air fryer is on the way. Someone even brought down some Milk Tray to munch on while the grub is cooking.

The protest against the government's decision to dump 303 single male asylum seekers at the Unit 29 warehouse in the Airways Industrial Estate has really brought the Turnapin community together.

They're in it for the long haul.

Airways Industrial Estate has never felt so cozy.

Between January and April of this year 1,465 asylum seekers destroyed or lost their passports before arriving at Dublin Airport while 354 arrived with false travel documents according to an FOI request submitted by Newstalk.

That means at least 38% of the 3,628 seekers who arrived in Ireland in the first four months arrived with either no or fake travel documents.

Barry Whyte cautions that the figure could be higher though as some asylum seekers without documents arrive in Northern Ireland from Britain before travelling to Dublin but the Department of Justice has no idea how many.
