Every year the asylum bill grows by ~€1.4billion.
The only way to solve this is to push back against the ECHR & to stop people arriving from Belfast.
Everything else is lipstick on a pig.

Every week ~180 to 270 new people arrive to feed the Emergency Accommodation industry. Each arrival will cost the taxpayer €122,000. This means each year the taxpayer is being saddled with €1.46billion in extra taxes.

It is not the function of Media Minister to review media coverage or order independent regulatory body to monitor "balance". Serious overreach by O'Donovan is of grave concern to @NUJofficial

Irish Times has now deleted its Tweet at 6am today which promoted its story about John McGuirk and Gript (the IT story remains online, unchanged it appears).
Remember that time, IT showed its true colours as a "news outlet" with scores of stories over the course of 10 days about Paddy Cosgrave, below just from the main Irish Times account (there were others on the business etc Twitter accounts)

The PSNI has been criticised for “pleading poverty” while spending at least £50,000 on legal fees in a bid to withhold documents about its dealings with gold mining companies from the Information Commissioner.

I absolutely think that "character references" should not be allowed in r*pe or m*rder trials.
What anyone thinks of them is irrelevant. All that matters is if they committed the crime/s they are accused of.

A judge has said it is "quite extraordinary" that a TD and others who provided character references for a former government advisor convicted of sexually exploiting a 13-year-old boy failed to mention the victim or the "vile nature" of the crime committed. courtsnewsireland.ie/quite-extraord…

And with that the Ind Ministers give the other independents their get out of jail card.
They will vote no confidence in Gov so as to spin it to the people they are on their side whilst knowing full well Gov have a majority and their positions are secure.
Top tier cute hoorism!

Our government sold our country’s oil refinery in to Irving 2001 for €100m.
You should tell the people that. Also Ray Bourke sold our oil in the 80s/90s
We are a nation that is surrounded by natural resources but have sold everything. It seems like other nations have their hands in our pockets .. doesn’t it. We can’t control our own country’s resources. These are the questions we should be asking after these protests

Another Somalian smuggled into Dublin Airport on Saturday on a 'lookalike' Swedish passport
The Somalian has now claimed asylum and will cost the State €122,000 on average to process.
A Pakistani woman with British citizenship who was with the Somalian has been charged with people smuggling, and remanded in custody. She'll cost us €100,000 a year in jail.
What airline? Where did the plane travel from? Are Gardai liaising with Swedish police on the 'lookalike' passport? That's the systemic issue. But who knows, who can tell.
nwl@nwl88444048
This story is so screwed up, but bottom line, we're jailing one Somalia for two years (cost €200,000) and processing two Somalia (cost €122,000 apiece) asylum seekers who arrived here on stolen passports. And Gript is the only outlet reporting it!

And the tone deafness continues. This is really spectacular. A massive failure by government in de escalating this situation and instead threatening and aggressive behaviour.

Minister Patrick O'Donovan has said he will be asking Coimisiún na Meán to review RTÉ and others' coverage of the fuel protests. He suggested that coverage was "lopsided" in favour of the protest and that "carte blanche was given to some people". jrnl.ie/7011275t

Séamus Dooley, NUJ assistant general secretary, said:
"The media minister is not a bystander but is in a position to influence the allocation of funds, the approval of commercial radio licenses and overall policy on broadcasting. It is not his role to dictate to the independent regulator or to apply pressure on media organisations."

Mother of God.
The Irish Media Minister says he will be asking the Media Commission to "examine" protest coverage because it was too lopsided in favour of the farmers and truckers.
The government sent in the military to break up protests and now they want to clamp down on how the media covers those protests because it made the government look bad.
Ireland is gone full totalitarian.
