Ukraine in the EU
Irish Farmer
An Irish farmer shares his thoughts on war being wound down in Ukraine and what it will mean for European farmers for Ukraine to join the EU:
ππ» join Late Stage Ireland
π¬ They will be entitled to various subsidies, payments, grants etc, and they reckon it will reduce payments to European farmers by an average of 30 per cent β the pot isn't getting bigger to take them in, it's going to just be spread more.
π¬ Who are these Ukrainian farmers? It turns out they're all massive corporations...and last year Zelenskyy sold one third of the country, which he equated to about the landmass of Italy, to Carlyle Group, BlackRock and Bayer (formerly Monsanto). That's who we're going to be paying subsidies to. They have to get their money back.
π¬ I don't think Russia will give two fucks about Ukraine joining the EU especially as he knows it's going to weaken us and hit farmers on the ground hard.

π¨ Community Alert for Co. Clare
A Clare father says there was an attempted child abduction made on his 13-year-old daughter in Shannon last Thursday when groups of foreign men, who were driving around the town in a convoy of three cars, tried to grab her into one of them.
Their exact words to her, he says, were "get the Fβ into the car now!"
The teenager panicked and ran, managing to escape through a gap in a hedge into her friend's house whose mother drove her home safely.
The boxer, originally from Limerick, said he's very frustrated with the gardaΓ who he believes have done absolutely nothing to address the incident except harass him about taking down facebook posts he previously made about the matter.
One of the cars the men were driving was a white VW Passat. Another was a black Audi A4. He has a photo of one of the registration plates and one of the suspects when they stopped at the Texaco service station.

Kerry councillors beg Roderic O'Gorman not to send 70 more asylum seekers to Killarney, but Cathaoirleach Cllr Brendan Cronin says it appears unlikely he will reverse the decision.
"We are at capacity health-wise, GP-wise and education-wise and if the Minister and IPAS continue, they will cause chaos. GPβs can't take on families who live here and have bought a house here. We are bursting at the seams,β he said.
He said that βsome onusβ must be put on property owners and IPAS to check if there are suitable services for asylum seekers before they are sent to a town.
Local GP Dr Gary Stack has also confirmed that the asylum seekers may have trouble sourcing a GP as they already can't cope with the workload.
Serious concerns have also been raised about the impact on the tourism industry.

'People do not feel safe on the streets in Roscrea.'
The dramatic influx of of asylum seekers in Roscrea has eroded the sense of security in the town, Deputy Michael Lowry has warned the DΓ‘il.
The independent TD for Tipperary, who resigned from Fine Gael in 1996 over corruption later investigated by the Moriarty Tribunal, emphasised that in Roscrea, the Garda Station remains closed at night, which is exacerbating the public sense of vulnerability.

The numbers are totally disproportionate to the local population. The vital services in the town cannot cope and are stretched way beyond capacity"
By degrees, the lives of local people have been changed. Reoccurring incidents have eroded the sense of security in the town. People do not feel safe on the streets. Parents are fearful of allowing their teenagers out after dark. Families and older people have had to increase security in their homes

Cashel Plantation
Tipp FM
Just to give a sense of the opposition on the ground in Cashel to 74 asylum seekers being dumped in a hostel, here are two of the locals Tipp FM interviewed on the street on Monday. They don't hold back yet still do the 'I'm not racist' bit.
Cashel was successful in getting this plan shut down because 500 people came out immediately to organise against it due to a strong sense of community. Towns without get railroaded. They've heard the horror stories from around the country and shared them.
They also had a sympathetic local media who gave them a whole hour on the morning show.
It's also clear a lot of politicians are worried about the elections coming up.

Our country is being destroyed up and down the country. We are the next Sweden if we don't get our act together very quickly.
Some of these people are coming from countries where they have no respect about women or girls in particular and that has been expressed to me by women in this town. There's a palatable terror here.

Jozef Puska found guilty of the murder of Ashling Murphy.
The 33-year-old father of five, originally from the small village of LuΔivnΓ‘ beneath the Tatras in the Poprad district in Slovakia, arrived in Ireland in 2013 where he was provided a home in Muchlagh and β¬200 a week in disability allowance. He said he originally lived in Dublin 1, moving to Tullamore in 2015.
Puska told the court that he had previously lived in Bratislava for about 3 years and then 5 years in the Czech Republic where he worked 'all over Prague on building sites'. Then "somehow I came here."
Asked then about his back problems, he said he thought they began sometime in 2017. No medical records were presented but he told the court he had worked until he had 'the accident' and subsequently started receiving a 'pension'. He said he developed the back problems from 'lifting heavy things' β "One day I couldn't stand up. I had a slipped disc."
The mayor of LuΔivnΓ‘, Monika KiΔΓ‘kovΓ‘, told Slovakian reporters that the family moved out of their village 20 years ago. She knew Jozef's father as she went to school with him and promised to give a statement after the trial. According to Councillor Jozef Fronc, the Roma community all lived more or less separately on the outskirts of the village.
The reporters did not learn anything about Jozef from his old school. One teacher they met knew about the murder, but didn't know Jozef. "Most of the teachers have been here since 2019, we don't have any who could remember him from the time when he attended the school," she shrugged.
The local Roma did not want to speak much about 'JoΕΎko' Puska, as they called him, but one older man told reporters: "JoΕΎko is a very good boy, we don't believe he would do something like that. He is from a decent family. He has three brothers and all of them, including their parents, gradually moved to Ireland. They went there to find a better life, because here you can't live decently when you don't have a job. They don't make distinctions there."
The European Commission have estimated 37,500 Roma now live in Ireland.
The man refused to show the reporters the house where the family lived but a woman standing nearby discreetly pointed to an old village house. It looked as if someone lived in it. "Neighbors take care of the houses of those who are abroad and make sure that no one steals them, sets them on fire or moves in," Mrs. Helena told them.
The two men outside a local store didn't want to talk at first, but then one of them who asked to remain anonymous remarked: "JoΕΎo was a classmate of mine. He was no innocent, such a weirdo, but aggressive, he sometimes had a fight with Roma people, but also with whites. He even had a low grade for behavior. I wouldn't want to get a load from them!"
He pointed towards the edge of the village, where the Roma lived.
One of houses was confirmed by passers-by and neighbors to be belonging to the Puskas. "They are in Ireland, no one is home," said one neighbor. "Yes, they all used to live here. It's been about five years since they moved to Ireland, I don't know more," said distant relative PaulΓna KokiovΓ‘.
"I didn't know who it was until this morning when my father told me that it was the person in question," added the neighbor. Relatives of Jozef also lived near the house. "I'm a cousin. He was a great person," said one, but he did not want to answer any more questions.
Though Jozef Puska had been able to organise disability allowance for himself as a result of a 'back problems' in Ireland, he told the court that he never went to seek help for any memory problems he believed he might be suffering from, despite all the Roma-specific healthcare initiatives laid out by the Irish government like The Roma Wellbeing and Integration Project, Cairde's National Roma Infoline, and Crosscare's Roma Community Support service.
He suggested these memory problems may have contributed to him not remembering that he confessed to gardaΓ who interviewed him in hospital that he was responsible for murdering Ashling Murphy.

Jozef Puska was suspected to have threatened to take his own life last Tuesday evening in Dublin's Cloverhill prison - but prison officers stepped in immediately and prevented any action.
Puska was then assessed and said that he wanted to be present in court the next day.
He then arrived in court on Thursday and ultimately began to give testimony in his own defence on the witness stand.
When the jury were not in the room Mr Justice Hunt warned the defence that he did not want any more βself induced excusesβ from the accused.

The reaction from Jozef Puska's parents to being found guilty of the murder of Ashling Murphy:
Puska told the court his parents drove him from Mucklagh to their apartment in Crumlin on the night he murdered Ashling Murphy and that he had asked family members to burn his clothes.
In June, Jozef Puska's partner Lucia Istokova (34) and his two brothers Marek (34) & Lubomir (35) appeared in court in connection with the investigation into the murder of Ashling Murphy, and were charged with failing to disclose information to gardaΓ between the 12th and 14th of January, 2022.
Two other Slovakian nationals, Jozefina Grundzova (33) and Viera Gaziova (38) were charged with impeding the apprehension or prosecution of a person between the same dates.
None were called to give evidence during Jozef Puska's trial.

Former Neighbours of Josef Puska in Mucklagh have told the Daily Mail that the couple 'had no respect' for their five-bedroom council house, which was situated in a well-kept cul-de-sac in Lynally Grove.
One elderly resident told the Mail: 'I'd be very happy if I never hear that bastard's name ever again.
'I remember him being here. I remember the mess that was in the front of the house, bags of rubbish everywhere.'
'There were always people coming and going at all hours. There was noise. There were problems with rats and everything.'
A source told the Mail that Puska, who insisted on an interpreter to help him understand the court proceedings, appeared to have a better grasp of English when arguing for a bigger home than the 'broken understanding' he displayed at the trial.

Jozef Puska is also suspected of assaulting another woman in the UK but was never convicted.
He told the court he only lived in Prague before 'somehow' coming to Ireland.
Following his arrest, gardaΓ established that Puska had sent messages to women across Offaly on the Badoo app. Investigators suspect he was using the app to identify other women to kill.

Josef Puska's house in LuΔivnΓ‘, Slovakia for comparison to the five bedroom detached house the council provided him in Mucklagh. I wonder did he declare this Slovakian home on his housing application.
But you can see the attraction of Ireland for the 37,500 Roma who live here despite only 16.7% self-reporting as finding employment according to Pavee Point, who blame the low rate on discrimination by Irish people.
A neighbour in Puska's Slovakian village told a reporter that the family moved to Ireland "to find a better life," because in Slovakia "you can't live decently when you don't have a job" and that "they don't make distinctions" in Ireland.
He's wrong on the last point. Distinctions are made here. For Roma, the State delivers increased supports including supplementary health care while also funding NGOs to lobby in their interest and provide instruction on how to max their benefits.
'Toxic masculinity' didn't create that system.

Jozef Puska βwill never be free in Irelandβ
Why can't they do that for all of them?
This report also says Puska originally claimed he killed Ashling Murphy when she tried to stop him from stabbing himself in attempted suicide but this evidence was not disclosed at his trial for legal reasons. GardaΓ believe he made up the story in anticipation of his arrest.
π archive.is
One security source told The Sunday Times: βPuska will most likely be banned for up to ten years by the justice minister of the day once he has served his sentence. And that ban can then be renewed. The standard ban is three to five years, but in a case like Puskaβs it will be more like ten years because of the seriousness of the crime.
βRemoval orders are carried out under an EU 2004 directive. He will be sent straight back to Slovakia in handcuffs accompanied by gardai β his feet will never again touch the ground in Ireland as a free man.β

Jozef Puska had never done a dayβs work while in Ireland and was on disability benefits since his arrival in 2013, with his wife and children.
The State had the authority to deport his entire family but opted not to, just like the 30%-40% of people registering as homeless in Ireland every month who are recently arrived immigrants with no means to support themselves.
The government encourages and facilitates the worst the EU has to offer to move here and abuse our generosity, or in Puska's case, murder our best. Then to twist the knife in, there are NGOs at the ready to deflect blame onto us.
