Residents out in Westside, Galway City this evening as 39 migrant men are on their way

Westside, Co. Galway.

The accommodation for 38 migrant men, due to be dumped at some point next week, has suffered a set back after the building appears to had significant damage done to it over night.

Residents have been protesting this week and will continue into next week as they have not been consulted or no engagement from the Government

On May 14th of this year, the Zimbabwe media warned us that a triple murderer called Peter Dube had fled their country to South Africa, changed his identity and then flew to Ireland to claim asylum. The even told us where the Irish govt had accommodated him — The Red Cow Hotel in Dublin.

Two days later, we were told gardaí had searched the Red Cow and were satisfied he wasn't there. They said they had found zero evidence he was even in Ireland.

“We are happy he is not at the facility named in the media and we have found zero evidence that he is here at all. Inquiries are continuing, but at this stage there is nothing to suggest he is in Ireland.”

Today, one month later, we learn he was at the Red Cow all along.

I'm old enough to remember when Kevin Magee was making light of peoples concerns about unvetted, undocumented asylum seekers because he said their fingerprints and photographs are checked against Europe's largest computer system for public security.

How's that working out, Kevin?

Reports are just two years apart. Intersectionality dreams shattered.
