Dublin: The Truth About What Happened in Ireland

It's not often that Irish people find their country in the eye of international headlines, nor is it welcome. But on Thursday, November 23, we watched as Ireland and Dublin rocketed to global attention on social media and mainstream sites. The riot which most of you now know occurred here began and ended after a shocking event that happened outside a kindergarten in Dublin city centre. Here is officially what we know as of today.

The initial spark of the events was allegedly, a foreign-born Algerian man (Most Irish media have refused to state his origin for PC reasons, not because of the presumption of innocence) with Irish citizenship stabbed three children and an adult as they were leaving their local primary school (kindergarten) as parents were collecting them around 2 p.m. local time. One of whom is right now in intensive care (she was stabbed in the neck). Thanks, however, to the brave intervention of several local and foreign people in Dublin, he was smashed to the ground. Luckier for him, he was not lynched. Instead, locals prevented some of the parents from finishing him off and called the Gardai (cops).

The story went immediately viral with most Irish people finding it out within the next two hours, and then of course the realisation that yet again (for the third time in less than a year) we were looking at the potential prospect of another foreign-born national allegedly committing terrible senseless violence on Irish streets. I cannot stress the shock and horror this potential mass murder had on Irish people, already brutally traumatised by the murder of Ashling Murphy, the Irish teacher senselessly murdered by another foreigner last year. Her murderer was sentenced to life last week, but her boyfriend, in a victim impact statement, bemoaned (entirely justified) how such a murderer was allowed live in Ireland in the first place. Coming so soon after this, this event was inevitably going to draw horror.

This sparked one right-wing commentator to call for protests at 7 p.m. that night near where the event occurred. The small gathering grew as word got out about a protest. Unfortunately for them and their cause, from what I understand, the anger generated by the attack caused many at the protest to lose their heads and lash out at the state for what occurred. Violence soon occurred against local cops who tried to manage it. Inner city Dublin has for years been where many thugs live, hidden off the capital's thoroughfare in houses resembling the projects in your cities, and seeing a chance to have a go at cops. Many of them joined the melee. Soon the gardai retreated, and many realised that it was open season on the shops nearby. For the next few hours, whilst the cops were organising, many shops and local businesses were looted. Cars and public transport were burnt. When gardai returned, violence was directed at them until they forced the dispersion. By that stage, the main section of the capital looked like a warzone. This is what you saw in the international press.

The sad reality is that the protestors and the thugs involved in riots are what the media and Irish government are covering, not the near murder of four of its citizens. They are barely mentioned now. Which I fear is what the media and the Irish government want. Those idiots who rioted have helped them, not the Irish people. Worse, they have given government a get-out-of-prison pardon from addressing the real issues revealed by Thursday's stabbing.

The causes of much of (but not all) the problems in Ireland are various. Almost certainly the decline of Catholicism and rejection by many here of Christianity is at its heart. The changing society is also now being further eroded of its Christian values by mass migration. This week, we saw further proof of it. Essentially, in over the space of 20 years with no public consultation and no democratic vote, Ireland's demography has changed. Nearly 1 in 5 people on the island of Ireland were born outside it. 1 in 5. The population has gone up by nearly a million plus, and as a result, this has led to huge problems for Irish people.

One does not need to tell Americans or any Western people the downside of mass migration. Unfortunately, the Irish government, the political class, and its media have refused at all times to debate or engage with people on this issue. Instead, they point to all the benefits of Ireland of mass migration -- economic, multicultural, diverse and inclusion (as if they are a good thing). They refuse to question the wisdom of said policy, and vilify anyone who does. One that normal people have plenty to say about.

There is a mass shortage of housing, which is now the dominant political issue in Ireland. Essentially, thousands of people are unable to rent or buy a house as the prices have shot up. The supply would be fine if Ireland's population had remained what it was pre-2000, but with thousands more here competing for both private and council housing from an even shorter supply, this is causing huge tension. House building alone will not catch up with the population demographics. It's out of control. This has been made worse by Ireland's generous Ukraine policy, which has allowed over 100,000 Ukranians have come to stay here since 2022, many of whom will never leave.

Worse for public opinion is when the government seems to intervene to give some foreign migrants or refugees housing ahead of the Irish homeless. Many Irish have noted that Ashling Murphy's killer received a free house and welfare, one valued at over 350,000, courtesy of the Irish taxpayer. Many suspect he isn't only foreigner getting such treatment. Many of my generation have been told bluntly you'll have to wait for housing, and rent or save forever and many more Irish have given up, washing their hands, and literally emigrated for a better life.

With more people, however, comes another issue, and that's crime. Over the past few years, Ireland has seen an increase in a diverse range of crimes, some of which were unknown a few years ago. Ireland's judicial system is widely seen as soft on crime, with suspended sentences often a key element in why so many criminals in Dublin are roaming the streets. Dublin city centre is widely seen as a no-go area for even the brave long before yesterday's events. Some now believe others from abroad have noticed the soft touch nature and moved here.

Whilst it is true the majority of the crime and violence is done by local Irish scumbags, the crime figures do also reveal that foreigners are committing a number of crimes out of proportion to the size of the population. Some anecdotal information, many Irish have copped on to. There has been an increase in foreign convictions of certain crimes, rape, thieving assault, fraud, violence, and of course murder. In the past year alone, two gay men were murdered and tortured by an Irish Iraqi citizen, Ashling Murphy was murdered by a Roma Slovakian gypsy in a crime that haunts even me with both horror and sadness, and now we have the near murder of three innocent children by allegedly a strange foreigner. Contrary to the stereotypes, Paddy isn't stupid and Irish people now regularly talk about it; some openly, some not so. Online however, well, that's a different story.

The last link is, of course, that many migrants themselves are themselves the problem. Many migrants are taking advantage of Ireland's immigration system and posing as refugees. Rather than dealing with them quickly and deporting, the government is farming them out across the capital city and country (incidentally, they never go to any of liberal elite areas) into hotels and hostels. One thing easily notable about such migrants is they are nearly all men. Very few women or kids. Worse, the areas they go to are not suitable for them, barely having enough resources for the local population. This, with some of the actions of a minority of migrants in these places, along with some local nutcases who do like to exploit such problems, has led to tension. It's a tinderbox.

Into this inaction is the Irish media. For all intents and purposes, in Ireland, we don't have a free media. (Only one news site told Irish people the suspect's nationality, Gript.ie, the rest kept quiet) The media and Ireland exist as a whole to promote liberal left-wing values. They see themselves also as guardians of public discourse who decide what is acceptable to say. Of course, many journalists will say that's false, but it's true.

They have been the biggest cheerleaders for every liberal government action over the past decade, from abortion to gay marriage to open borders. The media here champion liberalism and mass migration. They will not criticise it and, in fact, praise the multicultural change in Ireland as a progressive solution to evil old (Catholic) and white Ireland. No greater evidence of such bias was produced last week when Ashling's boyfriend Ryan Casey, in a victim impact statement to court, talked about how Ireland had changed and questioned the reality of a liberal multicultural Ireland where anyone could come and go even if they don't contribute. His statement was censored by several news sites as the day went on.

When asked by Gript about Ryan Casey's statement, the Deputy Prime Minister stonewalled. The media have never followed it up either. Ireland's politicians know they can expect no criticism for what they have done to the country, from a population perspective. As long as you are seen as not being genuinely Catholic, an outsider thinker, a populist, or worse, a member of the "far right," you're fine.

Both the government and media hate the "far right" not because of the spectre of violence but because anything right of centre is a threat to them, the politicians to accountability and perhaps losing their jobs, journalists to the destruction of their agenda. It's no accident that both are also the biggest supporters of "hate speech" laws in Ireland for use against the far right. These laws, of course, are not about people who love Hitler or hate all migrants but rather about people who dare to say unfashionable things against the liberal agenda.

There is no little hope in Ireland's current political system either. Many of Ireland's political parties are in the centre or varying degrees of the left. They have no real desire to play the immigration card, even for votes. They all believe open borders, multiculturalism, and diversity are Ireland's future. In fact, some see any controls as evil or right-wing.

It would almost make you despair. But then again, nature hates a vacuum, and today's politics is not tomorrow's. Keep screaming about the far right, and you may well get them if they are only ones who will address Ireland's problems. But hopefully we'll get a reasonable right, stricter migration, and a shellacked media. Time will tell.

Here are Ryan Casey's words below, uncensored. Pray for him and Ashling and my country. Please also go online and like or share Gript.ie, as they are getting a lot of vicious slander today. Pray, too, that Ireland wakes up.
