If this hasn’t started in Ireland it can’t be far off .

Daniel, quick question to test the logic,
This is Joanna Lumley. She was born in Srinagar, Kashmir in 1946 to British parents. Raised in Britain, no Indian ancestry.
Is she Indian?
By the same standard you applied to Suad Mooge (“born in Ireland without Irish heritage is Irish What else could they be?”)she should be. But we all know she’s British.
Birthplace alone doesn’t confer national/ethnic identity when parents and culture say otherwise.

@sinnfeinireland can't take a stance on any issue anymore.

Sinn Féin’s new strategy seems simple: abstain first, explain later.
Cost of living? Abstain.
Housing? Abstain.
Security? Abstain.
Reproductive rights bill today? Abstain again.

Amazing how they always manage to sound “outraged” about everything while voting on absolutely nothing. Revolutionary speeches, historic tweets, dramatic press conferences… followed by the political equivalent of “prefer not to answer.”
You can’t spend years demanding power and then disappear every time an actual decision lands on the table.

PS well done to everyone who voted no.

@Deiscirt Cost of housing and other costs and services such as medical care and social welfare money, including children's allowance, is cheaper/less in Denmark and the Netherlands than in Ireland. Govt would rather throw our money away on foreigners who are a burden, than give it to Irish

[fiannafact @fiannafact]

The biggest threat to Ireland over the next few years will be the bureaucracy pulling back on sharing information about what's happening in the country.

When the government signed up to the Open Government Partnership, it had positive side effects, such as FOI legislation and the publication of open data. But that information was largely intended for the managerial class of supranational organisations to interpret.

As AI tools make it easier for the average Joe Soap to stitch together a real map of what is happening inside the country, you can expect the system to start rolling back transparency legislation.

Chalk this down.

The fact that there are over 1,000 organisations in Ireland claiming to represent the disabled suggests a problem.

A recently arrived Iraqi immigrant who drove into a Melbourne primary school, killing 11 year old Jack Davey and injuring four other children, has escaped with just a $2,371 fine and no conviction.

Shaymaa Oun Ghazi Zuhaira, a 41 year old P plater, slammed into Auburn South Primary School in Hawthorn East, killing Jack Davey, 11, and seriously injuring four other children aged 10 and 11.

They took seven months to charge Zuhaira with "careless driving", during which time she took an overseas holiday.

Police inexplicably allowed her to plead guilty to a minor charge that carried no jail time.

She tried to get an even lighter sentence by arguing that the crash was caused by trauma from her life in Iraq “triggered” by a meeting with teachers about her son's reckless behaviour before the crash.

She now claims she suffers PTSD “extreme depression" and anxiety as a result of the crash.

Police protected and defended driver Shaymaa Oun Ghazi Zuhaira, 41, from the beginning to the end, and were even seen delivering groceries to her house.

Zuhaira has since been “awarded”citizenship.

While little Jack Davey lays in the ground.

Diversity is our strength.

At the Muslim youth center in New York, Mohammad Badawy said: “as a Muslim, my life’s mission is to fight the U.S government, the U.S army, and ICE until my last breath, that is my reason for existence.”

These people cannot stay here.

[Landeur 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 @Landeur]

Nobody bats an eyelid when a country like Pakistan or the Dominican Republic does mass deportations.

As soon as white people want to do it, it’s somehow a big problem.

Rejecting mass deportations is just anti-white racism.

The sentencing remarks from Grooming Gang cases are like reading about war crimes

Justice must be done

[Dr. Eoin Lenihan @EoinLenihan]

Carol Nolan wanted to ask Justice Minister O'Callaghan to make specific statements about how the new International Protection Act he pushed through will impact deportation enforcement and pathways to citizenship for those who have been rejected.

Her Parliamentary Question was not permitted.

As usual, everything to do with immigration and citizenship is cloaked in secrecy and gives the public no sense of how our borders and national sovereignty are maintained.

Last year, there was a record number of asylum application acceptances under O'Callaghan's watch despite Micheal Martin stating that roughly 80% of asylum applications were bogus. The purpose of the new IP Act is to integrate Ireland's commitment to the EU Migration Pact into existing law and it will see greater numbers of 'refugees' arrive and be accepted in Ireland.

Irish people deserve clarity on how many 'refugees' they are expected to accept each year, what the process for accepting and rejecting them is and what the loopholes are. Even if it is all a charade.

Indians now lead Microsoft, Google, Adobe, IBM, YouTube, FedEx and T-Mobile. Research suggests H-1B applications often rise after Indian-born CEOs take over. Around 70% of H-1Bs already go to Indians.

This former Google worker says he saw the networks operate firsthand.

[John Rain @johnthenoticer]

Official Norwegian crime statistics show that the overwhelming majority of violent crime charges in Oslo between 2021 and 2023 involved foreigners.

Most of them originated from Africa or the Middle East.

Telling paragraphs from @SineadOS1 on migration impact of EU-India free trade talks for Ireland.

"Indian professionals who take advantage of these terms will move to whichever EU country is easiest to get to, find work in, and build a life in. And every factor points at Ireland"

[Kevin Parlon @Deiscirt]

Given a third of Irish dole recipients are not Irish, what is a good argument against implementing this in Ireland?

[gript @griptmedia]

The Department has confirmed it bought dozens of homes for asylum accommodation at a cost of €9.2 million, but communities are still not being told where the properties are or whether more local placements are planned.

A million new migrants into a system already breaking with the last 2 million.

Labor doesn't give a shit about young Australians - it cares about propping up its spreadsheet by increasing the number of taxpayers without a single thought about your quality of living.

Labor would have us living in slums if it meant they could keep their mansions, commonwealth cars, and LIFETIME PENSIONS.
