An asylum seeker at the Newtownmountkennedy camp was hospitalised on Tuesday after he allegedly threw a rock at a member of security.

The Daily Mail reports that around 35 asylum seekers had gathered together at the camp in an apparent bid to overthrow security due to ‘bad blood’ that has developed since 112 men arrived over the past few weeks.

A source said: ‘Words were exchanged between these two men and it became violent. One of them didn’t like being told what to do and whipped a rock at the security man’s head. He got a gash to the head and then it all kicked off.’

‘One of the asylum seekers then got a belt in the mouth and goes down. There was a time there where security thought they were going to be overwhelmed by the men and the gardaí were called and things managed to calm down. The asylum seeker’s injuries weren’t much but he did require medical attention so an ambulance was brought for him. The security man was taken away in a private car.’

The government has been telling us that Ireland would be obliged to have 650 asylum seekers relocated here from other EU member states (or pay a fine) based on our GDP & population figures under the EU Pact on Asylum & Migration, but that's not really the truth.

I heard it discussed on one of RTÉ's weekend shows a couple of weeks back and they went into the details. The number of asylum seekers that Ireland would be expected to process per year using our current economic indicators is 13,927. The 650 figure was calculated based on the number of asylum seekers which arrived here last year: 13,227.

They subtracted 13,227 from 13,927 to give a figure of 650. If, for example, zero asylum seekers arrived in Ireland 2026, we would be obliged to have 13,927 asylum seekers relocated here, based on our current economic indicators, or pay a fine of at least €279 Million.

If Tóibín is shocked that McEntee granted an amnesty to 1,000 rejected asylum seekers with deportation orders in 2022, why didn't he say anything at the time when she announced that's what her amnesty scheme for illegals intended to facilitate? Why only bring it up ahead of an election? You know why.

Some of the detail in the Mail's report is incorrect: There were two tracks in McEntee's amnesty scheme: One for illegals and another for asylum seekers. While illegals had to be in the country for four years+ to apply, asylum seekers only had to be in direct provision for two years+.

3,000 so-called asylum seekers were successful in applying for the scheme along with 5,000 illegals.

So-called expert on asylum, Catherine Day, had advised providing an amnesty to asylum seekers to clear out the system out ahead of the government's adoption of the recommendations in her White Paper. Sinn Féin also lobbied for McEntee to extend her amnesty to include asylum seekers.
