A mother says had an alarming experience in Fairview Park yesterday.
She told Gavin Pepper she was sitting on a bench watching her 6-year-old daughter in the playground when a tall African man wearing a baseball cap and denim jacket, who she had noticed circling the area and smiling, started pestering her.
When she rejected the man's advances and got up to leave, the man then started harassing her about getting into his car. Her 14-year-old son and some local men then noticed she was in distress and warned the man off but as she was leaving the park with her children, he tried to run after them. The locals then chased the man down and the family was able to escape.
The incident occurred near the Fairview footbridge where NGOs held a ‘Refugees Welcome’ protest last January along with Game Of Thrones star Liam Cunningham to counter a series of rallies around East Wall by locals concerned with male asylum seekers being housed in a vacant office block in their community.

The Abbey Manor Hotel in Dromahair, co. Leitrim, which has lain vacant for thirteen years, is set to accommodate asylum seekers in September.
In mid July, locals noticed a number of beds going into the building which started generating rumours as everyone had been left in the dark about what the owner's intentions were.
Planning permission was granted in January for the 200-year-old protected structure to provide for one four-bed suite, eleven three-bed suites, nine two-bed suites and a manager suite.
Locals have campaiged since 2011 to re-open the hotel but many are disappointed to learn it would now be used as an asylum centre.
Regarding the lack of local consultation, DHMG Properties told the Sligo Champion:
“As a privately contracted organisation, we can only communicate information that we are able to share. This is what we have done in our other accommodation centres. The relevant departments who will be using the accommodation notify the local authority and local representatives.”

One of the top countries of origin for bogus asylum claims for the past 25 years with a 95% rejection rate. Even the Nigerian ambassador has been warning us about them as early as 2004. But they keep coming as they know the govt will only deport them in very rare instances.
The Department of Justice recently claimed there is no evidence of a link between the number of asylum seekers in Ireland and an increase in crime.

Algerian asylum seeker who spent 11 years in UK before arriving in Ireland 11 months ago has been charged with assaulting three people in Dundalk.
Two women told the garda that Lokman Benharkou (29) who is being accomodated at the Carnbeg Hotel had entered a takeaway on Park Street at 1:30am on Friday. He was agitated and started to shout abuse at them.
It was alleged that he then punched one of the women in the face, and she "immediately fell to the ground"; her female partner "jumped in front of Benharkou to prevent further assaulting her partner. At that point, it was claimed he punched her in the back of the head, also knocking her down to the ground.
The court heard another male "intervened "and was punched, fell to the ground, and the accused allegedly began to "stamp" on his head three or four times, "knocking him unconscious".
According to the garda's evidence, the accused left the takeaway but returned soon after and assaulted the male again on the ground, "punching him to the head and face several times".
The accused also had two charges for theft of €5 and a phone from a man in Dundalk on August 6th.
He was bailed on a €100 bond and granted free legal aid.
Garda Doherty had objected to bail due to the seriousness of the incident, which he described as unprovoked and "extremely violent in nature".

A letter from a Dublin librarian published in the Sunday Independent who writes that while many librarians privately object, they are instructed to to make sexually explicit material available to children as young as 12 by the Local Government Management Agency (LGMA), following their consultation with various NGOs, including LGBTQ+ groups.
They are angered that the LGMA has put library staff in such a position that protests against them are necessary and say that the unions are of no assistance to them.

The new character in Fair City literally says 'the country is full' before complaining about foreign women working behind the bar.
The petrolhead, whose girlfriend recently dumped him, is having trouble sourcing accommodation after moving to Carrigstown to open a gym and live clean.
But Fair City fans are getting the vibe that Gar's brother might be a bit unsavoury, reports the Sun.
Can't see where this is going. 😁
