The Algerian who stabbed 3 kids & 2 adults in Dublin was issued a deportation order when he was arrested in 2003.
He fought the order with the help of NGOs and in 2008 was granted leave to remain.
If he had been deported in 2003 nobody would have been stabbed.

Cited deaths of Ashling, Michael and Aidan as examples of foreign savagery and failed diversity.

Direct Provision is a cruel Irish institution where the state works with private, profit-driven entities. The institution is shrouded in secrecy. It's been called a "A Severe Violation of Human Rights" by the UN. It's happening right now in Ireland
Hard to go long today without thinking of the testimonies in the Mother & Baby report. Scale & depth of the suffering is too much to digest.
And how are survivors still being treated so poorly? They’re looking for basics.
My heart breaks today at the Mother and Baby Homes report. Until we hold these institutions to account, how could we ever hope for victims to begin to heal from trauma of that magnitude.
Legislation on this is so overdue. Please sign this petition aimed towards the tackling of image-based sexual assault in Ireland.
