I was in LYIT briefly before it was the ATU. I remember there was one African in the class. He was treated like a child because he couldn't settle. It was like a large toddler running around. There was f*ck all wrong with him he just had zero self control. He was the only one given a laptop because he was dyslexic (he wasn't, he was able to read just as well as everyone but was too impulsive to sit down for 10 seconds). He lasted about 3 days before he took the laptop and quit.

The king of Ballyhaunis has issued a royal decree that he is sick of fellas coming into his town who've no connection to it whatsoever.

Standing in the town square in front of a sculpture of two farmers trading a calf to assert his rule over Ballyhaunis, His Royal Highness Big Bernard McDonagh said he could trace his royal lineage back to his father Bernard McDonagh who was born 80 years ago and lived on top of a hill, less than half a mile away.

He also announced that he intends for his reign to be succeeded by his son Bernard McDonagh who will automatically inherit his title when he passes away.

Ballyhaunis in county Mayo has one of the highest concentrations of foreigners in Ireland beginning 49 years ago when a Pakistani industrialist started importing Muslims for his halal meat slaughtering operation. It also has a large asylum seeker and Eastern European population.

The local national school, Scoil Íosa, claims to have only 28% 'white Irish' pupils among their roll of 322 children.

R Neary Motors in Gorey is requesting assistance in tracing the whereabout of a 2018 Dublin registered Range Rover (181-D-26361) which was lent to a foreign man (pictured) earlier today for a test drive but was never returned.

Looks like at least one the Uzbeks up on terrorism related charges today was a former inmate at Guantánamo Bay detention camp who was resettled here when he was released in 2009 and received permanent residency rights at the request of then Justice Minister Dermot Ahern along with one other unnamed person after Jabbarov became the focus of several months’ campaigning by Irish human rights groups seeking to bring him here.

Oybek Jabbarov case was widely cited at the time as an example of how innocent people were branded terrorists by Afghan militiamen in return for lucrative cash bounties from US forces.

Jabbarov claimed he and his wife and child were living as refugees near the Afghan-Uzbek border in October 2001 when he accepted a lift in a car from a military faction at war with the Taliban, but that the soldiers then kidnapped him and delivered him to US troops to collect an easy bounty.

His US lawyer, Michael Mone, said “My client is more Borat than he is Kahlid Sheik Mohammed” and says Jabbarov has been hoping to resettle in Ireland because it is a land with many sheep, and he was a shepherd back home in Uzbekistan.

Not many sheep in Smithfield, Dublin where he was resettled. Be a long time getting a shepherd gig there 🤔

Amnesty International welcomed the move with Colm O'Gorman quoted saying that Amnesty were "delighted that Ireland will play a valuable role in shutting down Guantánamo and in assisting these men in rebuilding their lives."

Today Oybek Jabbarov was charged with directing the activities of a criminal organisation between 2009 (the year he arrived here) and 2019 and also charged with providing, collecting or receiving funds for the benefit of a terrorist group.

Rooskey mounted one of the first successful oppositions to the plantation a number of years back but I'm hearing the government wants to try their luck again with what used to be called the River Shannon Lodge (Eircode N41 HK10) in Aughamore being set to accommodate up to 36 asylum seekers shortly.

The property is a fairly regular sized bungalow so I have to suspect it will be all men going into it.

The local facebook group was put on pause today following consternation from the community upon hearing the news.

98.7% disapproval rating for the MI5 liaison officer 😆

You've probably all seen the nurse on RTÉ's Up Front with Katie Hannon, but it's worth having a clean recording. The point of the show was to explore the reasons why increasing numbers of people are refusing to pay the TV license.

But when Gabby Punch said her objection was due to RTÉ's biased covid19 coverage and the damage she believed it has done to Irish society, Hannon told her that was an issue for another show and moved on hastily.

She has subsequently given an interview to a crypto currency themed channel based in England. I haven't seen her on anything else. You can watch it on Odysee.

Having worked as a nurse for 35 years, she said she lost her job because she refused to take the vaccine but now works in the private sector and specialises in integrative oncology having passed her exams on the metabolic approach to cancer after training with with Dr Natasha Winters.

The voice of the working class 😂

Plebbitard thinks Uber drivers from Shitistan were attracted to Ireland because they were fooled by our deceptive GDP figures and not merely the ease in which they learned they could acquire Irish passports granting them access to not just the EU but the UK as well, which is where he found them.
