Finally, the fact that asylum seekers have been voting in Irish local elections for over 20 years appears to be gaining some traction.
But, it gets worse.
Not only can they vote in local elections, asylum seekers can also contest Irish local elections.
In 2019 Malawian woman Ellie Kisyombe became the first female asylum seeker to contest an election. The far-left Social Democrats put her forward, but all was not well behind the scenes.
A bit of digging into her back story revealed that she arrived in Ireland in 2011 on a student visa. A few months later she travelled to the UK and claimed asylum, but she was deported back to Ireland by UK border control. Then she claimed asylum in Ireland.
This scandal resulted in several board members of the Social Democrats resigning in shame.
Kisyombe also assaulted a woman while she was awaiting her asylum decision in Ireland. She walked free, no conviction.

Wonder why your insurance is so high? These greedy, lying, sick motherfuckers should be in jail. But this is Ireland so they'll be protected and they'll waddle back to their fat salaries and we'll leave our working class fridges empty to pay for their controlling class fallacies.

#tonightvmtv Ann Marie's Social Democrats colleague on South Dublin Co Council voted to reduce the property tax by 10% when the max we can reduce it is 15%. Why is the Soc Dems not reducing it by the max when it's an unfair tax on the family home.
