The wife of a retired Detective Garda says her husband believes the morale and the standards of the gardaí has gone down dramatically since he left the force.

"They're not the guards they used to be."

Ita says her husband, who has heart issues but helped man the protest for several days, has been in bed since he saw the video of gardaí demolishing the protester camp last night.

"He's sick to the pit of his stomach."

Poster girl for failed asylum seekers Ellie Kisyombe drops caution deal and is now pleading not guilty to the assault of a Ukrainian kitchen worker in a Finglas direct provision centre.

That time ENAR's Shane O'Curry begged Matt Cooper not to make an issue over a report about the discrepancies in Ellie Kisyombe's asylum story while being heavily promoted in the media during her run for the SocDems in the 2019 local elections.

O'Curry, who described ENAR as the co-ordinating organisation leading 87 NGOs "concerned with manifestations of racism in Ireland" appealed to Cooper that the "far-right are all over the story like flies around the proverbial".

"One of the areas of racism that we're interested in is online racism and any framings in the media that have the potential to enable or exacerbate racism in Irish society," he told Cooper while taking issue with the photo accompanying the report showing an unsmiling Kisyombe.

"Our concern about this article is that it's a particularly unsympathetic framing of Ellie Kisyombe."

Kisyombe has been back to Malawi twice on holiday since being granted Leave To Remain after repeatedly failing her asylum bid while appealing it for ten years.

Working class women over the age of 35 from Ulster or Connaught are the most likely to believe Ireland is taking in too many refugees.

Middle & upper middle class men over the age of 55 from Munster would have the least concern about asylum seekers being relocated in their area.

One of them is the current Táinaiste.

Curious that people under 34 would be more concerned about refugees being relocated in their area than people over 55 and nearly equally concerned as people in the 34-54 demographic. People under 34 are least likely to believe Ireland is taking in too many refugees.

It's possibly linked to their understanding of the pressure these refugees would place on housing demand while people over 55 would be least likely to have housing concerns.

This one made me laugh.

I think they were begging the question asking whether people agreed with this statement:

'I am not happy about the State's failure to provide accommodation for all asylum seekers who arrive here.'

But 40 per cent of respondents were like 'nah, I'm pretty happy they've made a balls of it and there's nowhere to house them.' 🤣

Just to count the lies in one news report:

🔹 Roderic O'Gorman says there was 'very extensive communication' with the local community in Turnapin about putting 302 single male asylum seekers into a warehouse in their area.

In fact, locals only found out about the plan by chance when a young women asked one of them for directions to the direct provision centre as she had a job interview there.

🔹 O'Gorman says a significant majority of the protesters were 'outside actors'.

The Irish Inquiry interviewed several of the protesters who were there that night. They were all local grandparents.

🔹 Virgin Media News claims tents were set on fire outside the International Protection Office in Dublin.

This lie has evolved from the original lie that tents were set on fire at the Trotskyite squat on Sandwith St. That lie has been repeated by Paul Murphy, Simon Harris and the President. You can watch the footage of the squat being dismantled here. There were no tents to set fire to.

Crazy how all the Albanian criminals only go to the UK (where they make up the largest nationality in their prison system) while Ireland only gets the nice, single, military-aged, male Albanians coming here to abuse our asylum system.

This must be true as Garda Commissioner Drew Harris OBE has told us there's absolutely no link between asylum seekers and increased crime, and he gets his intel directly from MI5 who never lie to Irish people.

20% of the population were recorded as being born outside Ireland according to latest Irish Census results from the CSO.

🔹 There were 5,149,139 people in the State on Sunday, 03 April 2022, an 8% increase since April 2016.

🔹 The number of non-Irish citizens was 631,785. This is 12% of the usually resident population.

That's the key finding they'll read out on News reports. However, when you dig deeper into the stats you'll find this next one which they'll ignore as they did last time:

🔹 The number of people who usually lived in Ireland but were born elsewhere stood at 20% of the population (up from 17.3% in 2016).

🔹 This represented 1,017,437 people, an increase of 207,031 from six years previously.

That means they've given 40% of the foreigners living in Ireland Irish passports.

And Remember, the CSO does not provide an accurate count of the number of foreigners living in Ireland and does not provide data on the number of their children.

🔹 The biggest increases were recorded in the number of people born in India (up 35,673), Brazil (23,760) and Romania (13,758).

🔹 The number of people with dual Irish citizenship was 170,597 which represents a 63% increase from 2016.

🔹 The proportion of the population who identified Roman Catholic as their religion fell from 79% in 2016 to 69% in 2022.

So much for the Church's theory that immigrants would buttress falling Catholic numbers.

Poles are going home:

🔹 In 2022, the number of Polish people declined by 24% compared with the previous census, and the number of people with UK and Lithuanian citizenship also decreased.

🔹 169,604 people (3% of the total population) listed themselves as having 'no nationality' (included not stated) up from 71,933 in 2016 (135.8% increase) 🤷🏻‍♂️

Screenshot of the most pertinent CSO data for when journos, NGOs and politicians are distorting the census results to claim only 12% of the population in Ireland are foreign and remains stable from 2016.

In 2016, 17.3% of the population were recorded as foreign born.
