Ellen Coyne is gaslighting the Irish public by claiming there is no empirical data showing an increase in sexual crimes against women and migrants. She is lying. There is. The evidence which Coyne didn't bother reading or simply chose to ignore, shows a clear statistical overrepresentation of migrants from Islamic-majority countries in sexual offense data, including rape and aggravated sexual assault. It is consistent across the board. And it's not just for first generation migrants, their children ALSO pose a much greater risk to women. SWEDEN: A 2025 peer-reviewed Lund University study (analyzing 4,032 rape+ convictions 2000–2020) confirmed that 63.1% of convicted rapists had an immigrant background. After statistical adjustment for age, gender, income, education, and municipality type, the elevated risk remained 2.2× for foreign-born and 1.4× for second-generation. GERMANY Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) data shows sustained overrepresentation.  In 2024, rape/sexual assault cases rose 9.3% to 13,320. Foreigners were 3–4× overrepresented in violent crimes relative to population share. Asylum seekers/temporary migrants (many from Islamic-majority countries post-2015) have historically been 8–15% of sexual offense suspects while comprising far smaller population shares (e.g., ~2% in 2017 but 12–16% of rape/sexual assault suspects). Afghans, Pakistanis, and North Africans (Algeria, Morocco, etc.) are particularly overrepresented in sexual offenses per BKA analyses. UNITED KINGDOM Specific patterns emerge in the data despite authorities historically under-recording ethnicity. Foreign nationals show elevated arrest rates for sex offenses (e.g., 3.5× higher in some analyses) with some reports from 2021_2024 showing ~40% of London sexual crimes by foreign nationals. In group-based child sexual exploitation (“grooming gangs”) the Casey Report 2025 documents clear overrepresentation of Pakistani-heritage men, 62–64% of offenders in Rotherham cases. Cultural/integration factors are discussed in some criminological work (e.g., attitudes toward women differing from Western norms), but statistics alone establish the empirical association . In summary, government police statistics and conviction studies demonstrate a measurable link:  Inflows of migrants from many Islamic countries have been associated with disproportionate perpetration of sexual crimes in affected Western nations.   This is a data-driven observation across multiple independent sources and is not anecdotal.

Unmasking the Bias: How the Irish Times' "Fringe" Label Silences Legitimate Women's Concerns on Immigration In a clear act of establishment gatekeeping, the Irish Times today published a thinly veiled smear against the Women's Coalition on Immigration, led by the respected women's rights group, The Countess. Headlined "A fringe women's anti-immigration group has been supported by two TDs," Ellen Coyne's piece portrays the coalition as a radical fringe peddling baseless claims about immigration and sexual violence. This is a hit piece meant to 'delegitimise' women questioning Ireland's open-border policies on grounds of safety and accountability. Founded in late 2025 by barrister Laoise de Brún, a strong advocate for sex-based rights, the coalition is a non-partisan group of Irish women demanding transparency on how migration impacts public safety, especially for women and children. Their main request, simply government release of crime statistics broken down by country of origin and ethnicity, so policy rests on facts, not ideology. This is a reasonable call for evidence in a country lacking such data, unlike Sweden or Germany, where reports show disproportionate non-national involvement in certain sexual crimes. Coyne labels these concerns "fringe," yet polls show widespread public unease about unchecked immigration, including among women who reject the racism accusation. The coalition's stance aligns with a growing demand for fair immigration rules that protect communities while respecting genuine asylum seekers. Ironically, the Times placed this attack beside a story about a rapist doctor, 'a foreign national' highlighting the exact vulnerabilities the coalition raises. Most troubling is Ireland's data gap. Most troubling is Ireland's data gap; the Central Statistics Office reports that over 50% of women have experienced sexual violence in their lifetime, yet provides no perpetrator nationality breakdown." This "policy lacuna," as de Brún notes, lets assumptions rule. Other EU nations with available data reveal patterns needing scrutiny, not denial. Ireland's sexual offense rate already exceeds the EU average by 43%, with dismal conviction rates. Refusing ethnicity stats isn't progressive, it's willful blindness that destroys trust, echoing Britain's grooming gang failures where political correctness delayed justice. Critics on social media have slammed the Times for lazy, misogynistic journalism. Gript Media called it "the laziest hitjob ever," noting the paper admits overseas immigration-crime links while attacking calls for similar transparency here. This isn't anti-immigration hysteria, managed immigration can benefit societies, but silencing women's safety concerns risks repeating past mistakes. The Countess evolved to meet a real threat to rights they've long defended. If the Irish Times values journalism, it should demand data disclosure, not deride those seeking it. Anything less prioritizes narrative over truth, endangering women, children, and migrants alike.
