Give credit where credit is due 👏. If it was not for Senior Counsel Una McGurk's brilliant expose that An Garda Siochana do not record statistics on ethnicity and nationality on PULSE, this issue would never have seen the light of day. Una McGurk was the first person to publicly highlight that the CSO do NOT publish statistics on immigration and crime because An Garda Siochana do not record statistics on ethnicity and nationality as a mandatory field.

At a Press Conference to launch the Womens Coalition on Immigration in Dublin on 2nd December 2025, Una McGurk launched a public campaign to call on the Irish people to hold the Minister for Justice and the Garda Commissioner to account by demanding that there is an urgent review of the mandatory fields on PULSE, so that ethincity and nationality are recorded.

As a result of Una McGurk's trojan work the government have been forced into a position of announcing that they intend to change the PULSE system to record ethnicity and nationality.

“Black Lives Matter!” cries the Left.

Except when Islamists massacre black Christians.

“Genocide!” cries the Left.

Except when Islamists commit genocide against Christians in Nigeria.

“Reparations!” cries the Left.

Except when Islamists sell black Christian slaves in Libya.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali - let’s talk a bit about her.

She is one of the most courageous voices of our time.

She was born in 1969 in Mogadishu, Somalia, into a strict Muslim family. As a young girl, she was subjected to female genital mutilation. She grew up between Saudi Arabia, Ethiopia, and Kenya under a strict Islamic upbringing.

In 1992, she fled to the Netherlands to escape an arranged marriage - she jumped off a train in Europe and applied for asylum.

There, she learned Dutch, earned a degree in political science, and began working with integration.

She lost her faith in Islam. She became an atheist, and later converted to Christianity in 2023.

She saw clearly how Islam oppresses women - forced marriages, honor killings, female genital mutilation, polygamy, and the total lack of freedom.

In 2004, she made the short film Submission together with Theo van Gogh. The film showed violence against women in Islam.

Shortly after, Theo van Gogh was murdered in broad daylight in Amsterdam by a radical Muslim. A threat against Ayaan was left pinned to his chest: she was next.

She received death threats for years. She had to live under police protection.

She was elected to the Dutch parliament for the Liberal Party, where she fought for Muslim women’s rights and against the illusions of multiculturalism.

She has written books such as Infidel, Nomad, and Heretic, where she directly criticizes the core of Islam - not just “extremism,” but the ideology itself.

Today, she lives in the United States, married to historian Niall Ferguson, and continues her work, among other things through her foundation (AHA Foundation).

She warns the West about mass immigration from Muslim countries, parallel societies, and the self-deception that claims Islam can be reformed without confronting its texts and history.

Like Salman Rushdie, Ayaan Hirsi Ali has paid a high price for speaking the truth. Rushdie was hunted for a book. She was hunted for showing the reality of her own life and the lives of millions of Muslim women.

She is not “Islamophobic.” She is a former Muslim who has seen the system from the inside and refuses to stay silent. She points to the uncomfortable truth: that Western values such as freedom of speech, gender equality, and individual liberty are incompatible with classical sharia Islam.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali is a living example of why the Enlightenment is still worth defending.

She risked her life to say what most people don’t dare: that the problem is not only “extremists,” but a religion that, at its core, oppresses women and rejects criticism.

She deserves respect from all of us - not because she is “controversial,” but because she refuses to lie in order to be politically correct. In a time where many bow to threats, she continues to speak the truth.

These are the kind of people who keep the soul of the West alive. Thank you Ayaan.❤️‍🔥🪽✝️

Melika Azizi is 18 years old. The regime wants her dead because she isn't afraid of them.
​While the world slept, they raided her home. While they beat her in Lakan Prison, she held her head high. When the judge handed down a death sentence, she didn't beg for her life—she demanded justice for the fallen.
​"How can I stay silent?" she asked.
​We cannot be the ones who stay silent while they try to hang a teenager for her bravery. Silence is a death sentence. Noise is a lifeline.
​ACT NOW: Save this post. Share it. Tag three friends who will help spread her name. We have to make the cost of executing her higher than the cost of letting her go.

This afternoon, I held my baby niece, who is 10 days old.

Tonight, I'm watching my parliament debate whether babies her same size and stage should be allowed to be aborted, even days before their birth.

Our society surely can't be this barbaric.

[Dr Rahmeh Aladwan @doctor_rahmeh]

The UK House of Lords has just legalised abortion up to birth.

Women can now end the life of their unborn baby at any stage, for any reason, without legal consequences.

A truly dark day for Britain.

My thanks to Brenda Power for this great column seconding our call to government to #ReleaseIrishCrimeData
As Brenda says, if Ireland is an outlier that’s easy to prove. If not and there is an over representation of non-national men in sexual offending, shouldn’t we want to find that out?

Four years today since Ashling Murphy, 22, went for a jog in Ireland - and got murdered by a Slovakian migrant.

Jozef Puska, 31, stabbed her 11 times in the neck.

Never deported, he's now enjoying music and art classes in prison. 🇮🇪

I'll be honest. The Oscars are not exactly must-see television for me anymore. But someone sent me this — and I watched it twice.

Irish actress Jessie Buckley just won Best Actress. And instead of a political lecture, instead of a pin, instead of a land acknowledgment or a cause of the week — she talked about her husband. Her eight-month-old daughter dreaming of milk at home. Her Irish family whose flights were paid for by Ireland itself to be in that room.

𝘍𝘳𝘦𝘥, 𝘐 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶. 𝘠����𝘶'𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘥𝘢𝘥. 𝘠𝘰𝘶'𝘳𝘦 𝘮𝘺 𝘣𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘧𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘥, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝟤𝟢,𝟢𝟢𝟢 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘣𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘺𝘰𝘶.

The room probably didn't know what to do with that.

Then she dedicated the award to motherhood itself — on Mother's Day in the UK — with words that belong on a wall somewhere: 𝘛𝘰 𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘢 𝘮𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳'𝘴 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘮𝘺 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦. 𝘐 𝘥𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘢𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘧𝘶𝘭 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘰𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘢 𝘮𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳'𝘴 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵.

𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗲𝗰𝗵. 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗮 𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘆.

Hollywood spent years telling women that ambition means leaving behind the things Jessie Buckley just stood on the biggest stage in her industry and celebrated without apology. A husband she adores. A baby at home. A family flown in from Ireland.

I don't know what film she won for. But I know I'll watch it now.

Well done, Jessie. 𝗚𝗼 𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗯𝗵 𝗺í𝗹𝗲 𝗺��𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝘁.

The price of a barrel of Brent oil was $107 this morning and has now fallen to $91, and it is likely to continue dropping. Let us see how quickly petrol stations and home heating oil companies reduce their prices.

Last week we were told they were not price gouging and that their prices more or less follow the live price of oil. If that is true and they are not lying to the public, we should see prices fall tomorrow.

My guess is that there will be no reduction for weeks while these companies, along with the government, continue to rake in the profits.

[Niall Boylan @Niall_Boylan]

Another 25 million of taxpayers money leaves the country in a week where thousands of homes were damaged by a storm and homeowners will struggle financially to put them right. Meanwhile low income families are sitting in cold houses because they can’t afford extortionate heating bills.
