As for Varadkar resigning, save this clip for when the quote unquote real reason for his decision *hard swallow* wants to emerge.

The rest is noise.

Turns out the "new Irish" in Wexford have a preference for English place names and we need to submit to their tastes according to Fianna Fáil councillor Barbara Anne Murphy.

Reminds me of the last planters.

Zimbabwe man who strangled his ex-partner at their accommodation in Sligo dodges prison because of the impact it would have on his asylum application.

Maybe that's why Garda Commissioner Drew Harris OBE said there is no correlation between increased crime rates and direct plantation centres.

Taoiseach to be Simon Harris pictured here with Dr. Sidhbh Gallagher

Gallagher is an infamous surgeon who notoriously boasts of 'yeeting the teets' of hundreds of young Gender Dysphoria patients each year, many of whom have now called for her to be investigated

The housing crisis is being marketed as a top selling point for international property speculators.

I’m going to do some posts in a few outlining how this came to be and the mechanisms of the scam, like QIAIFs

We can close the borders now but we’d still have to deal with these underlying structures making it easy for foreign funds to leach off the Irish people.

"Ballaghaderreen is unrecognisable — It's beyond flooded."

It was widely reported that Fianna Fáil Senator Eugene Murphy spoke at the public meeting in Ballaghaderreen last week to oppose the construction of 47 modular homes ostensibly for Ukrainians, after previously assisting with the Syrian plantation of the town beginning in 2017.

Under-reported was that Sinn Féin TD Claire Kirrane also spoke after helping locals prepare submissions to oppose the development. She was well received.

Kirrane said it was great to see the town mobilising on "something positive" and that Ballaghaderreen has "had its fill" after "seven solid years" of being planted.

The town has been planted for a lot longer than seven years though, and probably now close to 50% saturation levels. Wags call it "Allahderreen" and it's fast becoming the next Ballyhaunis.

I'd wager too that Sinn Féin's low-key about-face on the new plantation has been prompted more by a drop in support than by any realisation of how damaging their "no limits" approach has been.

And they won't be the people to fix it.

Just to pick up on something Claire Kirrane TD said in the above clip.

She told the crowd that the development of the modular homes in Ballaghaderreen likely won't go ahead as Ireland is attracting fewer Ukrainians now that their social welfare entitlements have been cut, and that the government can't put international protection applicants in these homes as their planning permission exemption is only applicable if they're used to accommodate Ukrainians.

But this can change at the stroke of a pen.

On March 5th, the Examiner ran a story that the government was looking into expanding the planning permission exemption so that the beds no longer being used by Ukrainians in existing plantation centres can be given to international protection applicants instead.

That will be the excuse they use but once they do that, all these new plantation sites we're seeing being developed (like the massive one in Naas) can be used to house non-Ukrainian asylum seekers.

Carlow mayor Tom O'Neill (FG) accepting a well-mannered bollocking from Daeln Murphy while receiving a Carlow Says No petition with hundred of signatures objecting to the plantation of Capuchin Friary and St. Brigid's Hospital.

Murphy says if elected to Carlow County Council in June, his very first motion will be to cease all co-operation with the Department of Integration on housing migrants, as has been done in Mayo.

Simon Harris, who has confirmed he will run for the leadership of Fine Gael, is not for free speech. He wants more restrictions to be added to the controversial Hate Speech Bill, including "migration status".

The inclusion of "Migration Status" could stifle ongoing public debate in Ireland about housing and border control.

#BintheBill

So Britain can just let their failed asylum swindlers slip into the north and then down to Dublin, knowing that they can't be returned, thus solving their problems in deporting them.

This is our superb "rules-based immigration system" we're supposed to have faith in.

Pretty grim window into the deterioration of Ballaghaderreeen through the eyes of a shopkeeper who is plagued by shoplifting.

"Have you ever had any of your shoplifters apprehended and prosecuted successfully?"

—"Not one."

There are 281 "diversity officers" around the country but the government won't base one full-time garda in the town.
