Ireland running out of accommodation for Ukrainian refugees due to surge in non-Ukrainian refugees?

That used to be called common sense.

And I don't much care if our politicians are harassed or targeted as I now see them, and history will prove me right, as enemies of our state and our citizens.

And you can include the media in that as well.

Quislings the lot of them.

Yep . Just like the 6 month eviction ban and countless other examples.

Denmark has been accused of pursuing openly racist policies against Syrian people by a variety of human rights groups. They appear to be in serious breach of the European Convention on Human Rights but don't even seem to care. It's as if Priti Patel or Suella Braverman is framing their legislation.

I am sure the Danes couldn't give a flying fook.

Perish the thought they would in breach of the European Court on Human Rights.

Wasn't that what the British were in breach of when they wanted to extradite that one armed one eyed sicko Abu Hamza al-Masri who preached death to infidels.

Says it all really.

Of course it is only speculation whether the person who struck the undercover Garda was a protester or an agent provocateur.

However it seems unusual that people involved in these protests, who, as the media and posters here have pointed out, are also anti mask, anti lockdown and anti vax, should choose to wear masks. The only individuals wearing masks apart from the undercover Garda.

I actually dont accept your suggestion this wasnt all planned, premeditated and coordinated no. The National Party speaker didnt drop in from out of inner space. The National Party leafleting in Ballymun the next day didnt just happen as a coincidence. Sourcing leaflets, getting them printed and paid for, getting volunteers to leaflet Ballymun would all have been well planned and organised beforehand. The "Ballymun says no" didnt drop in from outer space. It would have to be printed and paid for. Nah its clear few people from the National Party riling this up behind the scenes so they could step in with their speaker and their leaflets and their volunteers and their money to order the banner.

It’s amazing that a former minister was previously afraid to bring up the issue of illegal immigration. What other illegal activity would a member of cabinet be afraid to condemn?

Where is the outcry about this lack or accommodation for future refugees?

No one seems to care.

You'd really have to come and see a (rare) protest that there was any NP presence at. They stand apart from everyone with their banner looking pretty Spode-ish. They don't interact apart from handing out leaflets. And most people see them as oddities.

As East Wall 4 All have shown, you can have nothing to do with a thing and still hand out flyers.

When the NP are there it's because they want to associate themselves with the protest as a kind of advertisement. They don't add anything to a protest and the way they can undermine one is pretty obvious.

They're like AIG and Dublin. They want to associate themselves with success but no one thinks they deserve any credit for it.

There are a couple of Ballymun residents in the NP. That's why an NP member was there with a megaphone on the first night and they rallied the troops the following night when the rest of us showed up.

(You're paying them more attenton than I would but the "Ballymun Says No" poster showed up at a later protest. The first weekend all they had was their generic "House the Irish not the World" one)

Come along to the Shelbourne tomorrow (Sat) at 2. The NP may show up - who knows. But East Wall rules mean if they do they won't be let display party banners or give speeches. (We're even promised a counter protest)

If I was you I'd be much more worried about Fine Gael than the NP.

Whaaaaat, home to Algeria and Georgia??

I would be very. Very. interested to know why exactly Dolcain House in Clondalkin has been deemed unfit for further use as emergency accommodation "due to fire safety concerns".

It was presumably fire safety compliant as open plan offices. Now, divided up in cubicles, it is not. Makes sense. Evacuation times greatly reduced.

From a fire safety perspective how does Dolcain House differ from say the Gateway Two Office block being used in East Wall?

Meanwhile, 148 people seeking international protection are to be moved out of a building in Clondalkin where they are currently being housed due to fire safety concerns.

Dolcain House was offered to the Department of Integration for use as emergency accommodation for international protection applicants.

The department said that the property was deemed safe by an independent inspection.

However, it said Dublin Fire Brigade is not satisfied with the current fire certifications for the building.

"After significant engagement with Dublin Fire Brigade, that office has stated that they are not satisfied with the specific fire certification arrangements that exist currently in the building to allow a continued use for residential accommodation", the department said.

It is understood the 148 residents will be moved out in the coming days.

It'll be aircraft hangers, pallet racking and forklift trucks next
