The three founders of a start-up called LendRB Ltd claim they were discriminated against because an Enterprise Ireland representative allegedly told them they “didn’t have enough diversity” when they sought State backing for their venture.
They have brought discrimination complaints against Enterprise Ireland under both the Employment Equality Act 1998 and the Equal Status Act 2000.

Cavan Says No will be attending the anti-plantation protest along with many other 'Says No' groups from around the country at 10am, Thursday 9th November.
It is absolutely vital that people come and lend your support to this one-issue protest, arguably the biggest threat to Ireland for centuries.
See you on the 9th.

Some Ukrainians not fleeing war
Newstalk
Some Ukrainians just want the allowances and are not fleeing war says Viktoria Tymoshchuk, a Ukrainian network and activities facilitator in Ireland. She told Newstalk:
🔹 It's true Ukrainians are coming to Ireland because there are better supports than other EU countries — "Ireland offers a much bigger allowance."
🔹 Ukraine is a huge country, not all cities affected by the war.
🔹 There is conflict between Ukrainians in Ireland from southern and western Ukraine and those from the eastern parts and Kiev.
🔹 Not everyone from Ukraine needs to be here. The immigration services can check very easily who needs to be.
🔹 People from safe territories should go home and create space for those from hot spots.
🔹 It's not understandable why Ukrainians go home so often where they can spend months before returning to Ireland. If they are fleeing war, why are they returning to it? If there's danger, why go there?
🔹 They're just using the war as an opportunity to get allowances.

Jozef Puska trial:
"I did it. I mudered. I am the murderer."
The garda witness asked interpreter if Puska was admitting the murder. The interpreter said yes.
Puska then said: "I feel guilty and say that I regret it."
He said he was admitting it because he did not want anything to happen to his family.
Puska indicated he did not want his name and address published.

NGOs have been trying to drum up support for easier access to Ireland for UK based migrants.
The Irish Times today reported that the current visa rules prevented some ambulance crews from Derry from responding to the Creeslough gas explosion in Donegal last year "because foreign-born paramedics on-board did not have visas that allowed them to cross the Border."
The Northern Ireland Ambulance Service says this is fake news.

There's been a long standing issue with international protection applicants who have been living safely in other parts of western Europe for a period of time, then coming to Ireland and claiming asylum, Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has said.
There is “a limit” on the State’s capacity to accommodate and provide for refugees and international protection applicants and “we’re very much” at that currently, he said.
I reported in July, 2022 that figures showed that 29% of all the asylum applicants Ireland received in 2021 had been granted refugee status elsewhere in Europe.
18% had used the Council of Europe's temporary travel pass system to access Ireland and make fresh asylum claims here.

TCD Economics Prof Ronan Lyons now says Ireland needs to build up to 75,000 housing units each year to keep up with the increased rate of plantation. Goodbody forecasts that 27,000 housing units will be completed in 2023, down from 30,000 last year.
To give an idea of what 75,000 housing units looks like, the picture above is of a construction site in south Dublin where 597 'social & affordable homes' are being built. You would need 117 sites like that completed each year for the next 27 years, never mind the water & sewage services, hospitals, schools, emergency services etc...
These 'affordable homes' will cost €1,000 a month for the one-beds & up to €1,300 a month for the two-beds.
The bottom left corner of the picture shows the type of two storey, two garden homes a person used to be able to afford in Dublin on a single middle-income.
Lyons has previously stated that there is not "an iota of supporting evidence" showing that immigration is the reason there's a housing crisis in Ireland.

RTÉ are trying to deceive the public again about the numbers of non-Irish people in Ireland.
The most crucial figure in the CSO census data (which RTÉ omits in their report) is that 20% of respondents recorded themselves as foreign born. 77.2% recorded their ethnicity as 'white Irish'.
They also have a duty to inform the public that neither the European Commission nor the Irish government believe the CSO figures to be credible.
The European Commission estimated 37,500 Roma were living in Ireland when they calculated the funding they deserve, while the CSO recorded only 16,059 Roma in 2022 census.
Likewise in 2016, while the CSO recorded just 19,447 people with a Chinese background living in Ireland, the European Commission estimated the real figure was 60,000 to 100,000.
The CSO recorded 58,615 Moldovans and Romanians in 2022 but Minister Simon Coveney said the real figure was 130,000 during a joint presser with his Romanian counterpart.
