Leader of the Rural Independents, Mattie McGrath TD, slams colleagues who he said “go out on national radio and incite violence” against the Rural Independents, “accusing us of causing the riots in Dublin” – describing it as “twisted, warped, pernicious” and “shameful.”

Cork Independent Michael Collins TD tells the Dáil debate on immigration that the government has resorted to “condescending sneering” at those who have voiced concerns about uncapped numbers of asylum seekers. “This gaslights the situation,” he said.

"The breaking point has not just been reached, it has been shattered": Carol Nolan TD tells the Dáil that despite concerns around immigration, there has been a pattern of “talking down to communities” and “blatantly misrepresenting public representatives.”

There will be no #CostOfLiving package after Christmas and into the Spring, like last year, despite many families struggling to keep their heads above water and food on the table for their children.
Basics like electricity are still extremely high, as is the cost of food, etc. The government say it is not something they can afford to offer people.
Meanwhile, migrants without accommodation will now receive 113 euro per week. An increase of 75 euro.
Advocacy groups have described this as "an insult."
We already had too many people coming because of the financial benefits of doing so. A 75 euro per week increase will act as a further incentive time to come to our shores.

Reportage of the Parnell Street stabbing two weeks ago has been the subject of much scrutiny. There are a number of elements that this Substack finds worthy of examination, beginning with the Brazilian Deliveroo driver.
A key witness to a heinous crime is platformed on national media within hours of an attack on a busy street in broad daylight. Under the circumstances, I find that unusual. At this point, Gardai could not possibly have comprehensively ruled out terrorism as a motive. The alleged knife wielding suspect was injured, had been arrested & removed to hospital. A side-scandal was unfolding on social media over his nationality. This in itself was unusual because at the initial press briefing hosted by Superintendent Liam Geraghty shortly after 5pm on November 23,the question was asked:

REFLECTIONS: Yesterday evening a good crowd of people assembled outside of Mountjoy Prison to pay homage to Enoch Burke, teacher and prisoner of conscience. Every effort has been made by self appointed ‘official’ Ireland to minimise his incarceration. Government, fake opposition, agenda driven tax funded NGO’s m, a corrupt and lazy media and a formerly Christian Church have all conspired to cover up what is an international news story and a massive injustice. Two hundred days in jail with no end in sight for refusing to buy into a child’s fantasy that that child was born in the wrong body and was of a different sex. His conscience did not permit him to support that delusion nor does the science of biology. But our government, opressive, arrogant and out of touch thinks otherwise. They know they are wrong but when the press is on your side you also know that you can control the narrative. Yesterday evening outside of the prison the government lost the narrative. Everybody seemed to be on our side, passing motorists, friendly Gardai, just about everybody. Carols,Hymns, prayer, a message and reflections. The classic embodiment of a struggle between good and evil. Well done everybody who was there.

Enoch Burke has been in prison for nearly 100 days AGAIN!
Enoch Burke has been incarcerated in Mountjoy prison, Dublin, since the 8th of September 2023, ostensibly for breaching an injunction instructing him to stay away from his former workplace, @WilsonsHospital in Westmeath, a Church of Ireland Diocesan institution.
The matter relates to Burke’s religious and moral objection pertaining to addressing a male student by their preferred pronouns, she/her, thereby affirming their alleged gender dysphoria.

For many years, decades even, the rich Nordic social democracies were seen as the perfect haven for immigration.
Regardless of origin, race, religion or any other status, most of these countries were built by the arrival of hundreds of thousands of foreigners.
Some time ago, however, all this has begun to change, especially in Denmark.
Denmark is by far the Nordic country that has taken the most radical approach to illegal immigration.
Did you know that the Danish government is even demolishing immigrant neighbourhoods?

Fine Gael TD Neale Richmond admitting that the government's desired change for the definition of family in the constitution to 'any durable relationship' is in part aimed at expanding the eligibility scope for family reunification applications for immigrants.
"This has serious consequences, particularly when we think of immigration law and proving that someone is a family member...or family reunification. This will allow that to be accommodated as well."
The referendum to amend the constitution is planned to take place on the 8th of March, 2024 (International Women's Day).

GAA pundit Joe Brolly 'acting as go-between' in bid for manufacture of new Covid-19 vaccine in Republic
BARRISTER and GAA pundit Joe Brolly is reportedly acting as a go-between between the pharmaceutical industry and the Irish government for the manufacture of a new Covid-19 vaccine.
What’s the story with Rory? A closer look at Ireland’s latest state sanctioned ‘expert’.
I recently came across an article in The Guardian written by an Irish academic, which attempted to address the housing crisis that Ireland is currently experiencing. It had a particularly divisive headline, but I decided to read on nonetheless, just to see was there any merit or substance beyond the clear and open anti-working class sentiment.
@RoryHearneGaffs is a lecturer in Social Policy at Maynooth University and like much of Ireland’s academia, he appears to be an outspoken apologist for unlimited and undocumented immigration and is also a zero carbon/climate action advocate. How those two things reconcile is anyone’s guess. More people means more carbon. It must be the fault of the cows or diesel engines somehow.
Much like his colleague Barry Cannon, he also appears to be an outspoken critic of the phantom menace of the ‘far right’...

IRISH MINISTER WITH "TRANSGENDER" CHILD IS AGAINST UNDER 18 PIERCINGS & TATOOS, BUT PROMOTES "HARMFUL & ILLEGAL" TRANSITIONING SERVICE FOR KIDS:
By Suzie D.
"I would be, uncomfortable is the word I would use, as to what would happen after the 90 days" says Junior Health Minister Mary Butler,in relation to revised accommodation rules for new Ukrainian arrivals.
Butler displayed no such discomfort when she gave the green light to allow (and encourage) elderly nursing home residents beds to be given to military aged fit and healthy male migrants.
Butler, the state's ministerial representative for older people and mental health, stated in June 2022 that she and her officials decided to adopt a “more flexible approach to balance the needs of both the Department of Health and the DCEDIY".
Quite the turnaround for Butler, who had expressed dismay just a few months earlier after 18 nursing homes were repurposed and over 500 elderly people were displaced.
In 2018 Butler opposed repealing the eighth amendment and also put forward a bill to cabinet proposing that piercings and tattoos be banned for those under 18, presumably feeling children incapable of making decisions regarding their bodies prior to the advent of adulthood.
Yet she now expresses pride in her biological daughter "transitioning", and this year openly called for vulnerable children to be allowed access to a harmful unregulated online service "GenderGP".
The Minister has since been accused by leading doctors in Ireland's National Gender Service of of ALTERING the records of a health department meeting (deleting minutes) in which she praised and pushed for the availability of the "service".
This was despite doctors labelling it unsafe, and advising the minister that the British General Medical Council had disqualified the company for causing harm through illegal practices. They also advised the company's practices were contrary to Irish Medical Council guidelines.
But how did Butler, (who also openly supports questionable NGO's trans groups TENI and BelongTo) get to the point where she has completely disregarded her duty of care to two of the most vulnerable elderly and children, while also presenting herself as a humanitarian and a progressive; championing human rights? Why should we care?
Because it is her type that that is responsible for the systematic destruction of our societal values. Not the psychopaths like Leo Varadkar, who are less plentiful than contrary Mary. He would never be able to carry out insidious agendas to such a devastating degree if there wasn't so many Butler's grotesquely transmogrifying their conscience with ease, while self deludedly masquerading as being morally superior to the rest of us.
But did Butler morph from a once sensibly conservative, morally half decent, middle Ireland politician into a dark force? Or was the darkness always there, unknown to her?
The latter is more likely, although this does not absolve Butler (and the likes of Norma Foley and co) of their personal responsibility. They're making active choices (probably out of self interest) and have the capability to see their these as detrimental, if not evil.
Unfortunately for us it's not a simple case of voting them out. One of the biggest issues we face as a society on the brink is the reality that the "banality of evil" is omnipresent.
Perhaps it is even within ourselves under the "right" circumstances, and so we must expect and endure evil at every turn, and we can't do much but co exist with it.
What we can do is recognise, expose and challenge it, especially when it hides behind a cloak of normalcy. This we must now more so than ever, not in spite of consequences levelled at us for doing so (punishment for hate speech "crime") but BECAUSE of those consequences. Failing to do so is an act of evil in and of itself.

BLACK AXE GANG INSIGNIA SPRAY-PAINTED ON SEVERAL VEHICLES IN ONGAR, AND JUST TWO SQUAD CARS ON DUTY IN AN AREA OF 140,000+ PEOPLE:
By Suzie D.
The Irish Inquiry has been contacted by beleaguered Ongar residents (Dublin 15) whose vehicles were spray painted over the weekend. At least two estates and 8 cars were targeted (but possibly more). Some were marked clearly with "AXE 77", a reference to the notorious Nigerian criminal gang Black Axe (founded in 1977). Residents are concerned this was a territory marking ritual.
Black Axe is one of the most notorious criminal gangs in Ireland. Mainstream media recently reported that Black Axe has gained a "stronghold", and in a worldwide crackdown over a third of the arrests made were in this country. Yet
@LeoVaradkar
maintains crime is not linked to immigration.
Gardaí have been called several times in relation to this latest incident, and failed to respond. I personally called Blanchardstown Garda Station 11 times today, only getting through on the last call. They notified me they have just two squad cars available today. For an area with somewhere between at least 130,000 and 150,000 people. They also cover some call outs for Finglas and Cabra (the three areas are known as the notorious K District).
Recently the Irish Inquiry attempted to verify just how many people live in Greater Blanchardstown, as misleading claims by county councillors and MSM estimate 80,000. But this figure only counts the original 8 boroughs. Areas like Ongar have raised the population by tens of thousands.
We also ascertained how many Gardaí are in Blanchardstown through an FOI. In 2021, when the population was less, there was 178 Gardai. In 2022, 52 left and 16 joined. We have been informed the total number is 155. At any given time a significant number would be on sick/holiday leave, would be attending court, or be on opposite shifts to colleagues. The actual number on duty is inadequate.
One of the residents targeted at the weekend says this is the fourth time he has been a victim of Crime in Ongar (two car break ins, a house break in and the graffiti). Gardaí arrived when called for only one of the four crimes.
In having a conversation with a person about the marked vehicles, they noted it is no more harmful than young lads spray-painting "Up The Ra" on walls, adding that the criminals in question are likely to be "Irish born" (note: when they do something wrong they're automatically Irish).
Firstly, spray painting on walls is easier to fix than spray painting expensive vehicles.
Secondly, Ongar (and nearby Tyrellstown) have been repeatedly targeted by violent black gangs for a long time, exacerbated by a lack of a visible police presence and a permissive attitude resulting from political correctness.
Thirdly, some of these gang members carry (and will use) machetes. A couple were subject to a machete attack this year in Hazelbury Park, Dublin 15 when they intervened in an act of animal cruelty.
Other crimes are carried out frequently and brazenly. An Ongar resident has disclosed they witnessed "up to 70" black youths breaking into a childcare facility in daylight. When they rang emergency services (the Garda station failed to answer the phone 7 times), the responder asked if the burglars were black, commenting Gardaí were having significant issues with gangs in the area.
So the spray-painting is not just a little vandalism, but part of a worrying trend of predominantly black gangs claiming ownership of suburbs in an intimidating fashion, unhindered by Gardaí and mostly not reported on by MSM. What could go wrong?
As for being Irish born... surely blame lies with the parents, who are likely not Irish born? "Born here" only indicates that integration has failed massively (and is not actually encouraged), which has a subsequent knock on effect on the "born here" generation; and a deleterious effect on society at large.
Moreover, if these rapidly proliferating super gangs were white and ancestral Irish, it would be top news.
White privilege indeed.

6 MONTH SENTENCE FOR STEALING A HANDBAG VS SUSPENDED SENTENCE FOR DOWNLOADING "DEPRAVED" CHILD SEX IMAGES
Joao Silva Pinto downloaded "depraved material" including 78 videos of child sexual abuse but has been handed a fully suspended sentence, despite the judge acknowledging that there are real child victims involved in cases such as these, not just images, and that the defendants actions helps to create a demand for such material, and therefore leads to more child victims.
This month Ellavita Flynn, a mother of one from Mercer House in Dublin 2 was handed a 6 month jail sentence for shoplifting a designer handbag, cosmetics and other items. No suspension of the sentence in this case, despite the fact that a child will now be without her parent for up to 24 weeks.
Of course, while it's true the lady in question committed a crime, we feel that downloading depraved images of children being sexually abused and tortured is far more abhorrent and punishable.
