A 72 year old man was savaged stabbed to death in his home in Dungannon last year.
There was no rampaging gangs "protecting their communities".
Guess why?
Because the victim was polish and the murderer was a "local" man.
These aren't concerned citizens they're racists.
You'd kind of wonder of the where the outrage from the usual corners was when Natalie McNally was bludgeoned to death. Seemingly violence committed against women and girls by Caucasian males was acceptable and not worthy of protest.
A lot of men up in arms over the attack in North Belfast who have absolutely nothing to say femicide levels in NI, the most deadly place to be a women in the UK and Ireland.
Whipping up rage and anger because an immigrant is involved tells you everything about their motives.
Michael, I understand and share the sadness and anger behind your post. What happened is horrific, and it’s something no family or community should ever have to endure.
At the same time, I think it’s important that we look at the full picture of violence against women. The majority of women who are murdered or abused in Ireland are harmed by Irish men, and that is something we as a society also have to be willing to face and confront honestly.
The statement ‘We have allowed Ireland to become a country where welfare migrants kill young women’ absolves the fact that the majority of young women are murdered and abused at the hands of Irish men.
I say this not to dismiss your point, but because I believe the wider issue is the tolerance and acceptance of how women are treated in our communities. That culture of silence and minimising abuse is something many of us have seen firsthand. I have personally experienced harassment, stalking, and abuse for simply believing and supporting a woman when she spoke about her abuser, and no one should face that for doing the right thing.
We should be able to stand against violence towards women in all forms, no matter who the perpetrator is, and work towards a society where women are safe and believed.
I also stand with Ryan and continue to pray for his peace, healing, and safety. Thankyou for your voice and speaking out.
A group of Irish artists, including singer-songwriter Damien Dempsey, is calling for a national day of mourning to be established in memory of all of the children who died in religious and State-run institutions. - Alison O'Reilly
The call comes as the country's first ever mass exhumation is continuing in Tuam, where forensic experts are searching for the remains of 796 children who died in the former mother and baby home and were buried in a large, underground septic tank.

@Dryesplease Oh, thanks for your insight based on the 6 hours of edited for entertainment footage you got to see. Dunno how I missed that in the 10 years I've known and loved her.
@JustineStafford The first decision we made when we got engaged and she KILLED IT. She could be a celebrant but she's too busy being a boss Leadership and development consultant ❤️
