Israeli "anti-racist" academic Ronit Lentin who has worked for decades deconstructing Irish identity says Irish people need African migrants to "wipe their arses". This is grossly offensive to both Irish and Africans.

EDIT: This report has now been removed by Gript after the Mirror reported that a false identification had been made about the man. In place, is a statement from Gript.

A Limerick Fianna Fáil councillor from Bangladesh has said he would like to see the people involved in the Dublin riots last Thursday shot in the head or publicly beaten until they are dead.

“Not even an animal does these kind of thing. It is very shameful and they should get public punishment.

“I’d like to see them shot in the head or bring the public in and beat them until they die,” Cllr Azad Talukder told Limerick Council members on Monday.

Talukder was celebrated in June of this year when he was voted in as Limerick’s first Muslim Cathaoirleach in what was called a 'historic moment'.

Paul Healy in the Mirror is reporting that they believe gardaí are "set to approach a news outlet" after an article claimed the main suspect in the attack which saw three children and a crèche worker stabbed, had his application to remain in the state supported by two Irish NGOs.

>The article does not name the person, but goes into detail about the person’s status in this country over the past number of years.

>Sources say the person the article is in fact referring to a completely different individual - who is not the suspect.

The news outlet is not named, but yesterday Gript first reported that the suspect in the Dublin stabbings had his application to remain in the state supported by two Irish NGOs.

Gript have released a statement claiming the source for their report about the Dublin stabbings suspect is a Garda member, and an informal cross-check was carried out with a 'senior official' regarding the suspect's name which was not revealed in their report.

>We are investigating the circumstances of this error, including giving due consideration to the question of whether this media outlet was deliberately deceived by a senior official. If we determine that to have been the case, then our obligation to protect the anonymity of those sources will be considered forfeit.

Fianna Fáil TD Niall Collins and Cllr Azad Talukder from Limerick promoting Helen McEntee’s 2022 amnesty for illegal migrants living in Ireland for over four years (or three years with a child born here).

Collins told viewers that the scheme was also open to asylum seekers who had been in the country for over two years. However, this was not widely publicised in the media reporting about the amnesty, where it was typically referred to as a ‘regularisation scheme for undocumented migrants’. The State possesses many documents on asylum seekers, their cases, appeals, & benefits.

Collins called the amnesty “very positive news for the immigrant community,” and Talukder thanked him for his work in advancing it, saying it was very close to his heart.

On Monday, Talukder said he believed the people involved in the Dublin riots last Thursday, after the knife attack on three children and a crèche worker, should be shot in the head or publicly beaten until they are dead.

Hard to believe it's possible.

Christy, Sinéad and now Shane. It's like 2023 decided to take a triptych of the Irish psyche.

There'll be double helpings of Fairytale this year. You might as well get started. You know you want to. Chase it down with a Soho.

Special security put in place for Algerian man wrongly identified as suspect for Parnell Square stabbings

>The details in the Gript story allowed some right-wing agitators to identify the Algerian man who was the plaintiff in the asylum case and share his image and details of his work for an Irish company. His photograph was sourced from a an interview he gave about homeless services to a newspaper.

>McGuirk said this now “feels like a bit of a rat-f**king”, a term used to describe dirty tricks or deliberate sabotage.

Kitty Holland from The Irish Times: The media were right not to report aspects of Ryan Casey's impact statement on the murder of Ashling Murphy because they were incitement to hatred.

At the sentencing of Jozef Puska, Ryan Casey had remarked:

"It just sickens me to the core that someone can come to this country, be fully supported in terms of social housing, social welfare, and free medical care for over ten years, never hold down a legitimate job and never once contribute to society in any way, shape, or form, can commit such a horrendous evil act...

"I feel like this country is no longer the country that Ashling and I grew up in and has officially lost its innocence when a crime of this magnitude can be perpetrated in broad daylight. This country has to wake up. This time, things have to change"

Protesters in Rosslare have condemned a suspected arson attack on a forklift teleporter, valued at €80,000, at the site of the old Great Southern Hotel, reports the Sunday World.

The property, which has secured planning permission to be turned into a nursing home, is currently being developed as accommodation for asylum seekers.

The Department of Equality has stated that approximately 170 asylum-seekers are expected to arrive in Rosslare in the coming weeks. However, the hotel has the capacity to accommodate up to 400 individuals.

Locals have been objecting to the development for the past ten days with 2,000 out marching on Tuesday evening. They say the village is already at saturation point with 300 single male asylum seekers already being accommodated in the area.

Fianna Fáil senators revolt as Helen McEntee attempts to ram the Policing, Security and Community Safety Bill through the Seanad.

One part of the Bill causing a political problem is the abolishment of joint policing committees made up largely of councillors, TDs, senators and local gardaí, who meet regularly to discuss local security and crime issues.

They are to be replaced with partnerships which will include bodies such as the HSE, Tusla, and 'local charities and other third-party stakeholders' which appears to be a euphemism for so-called NGOs.

In November, Garda Commissioner Drew Harris told a private meeting of NGOs that he would “develop an action plan to be shared with the civil society representatives” for their feedback on policing protests and the 'threat posed by the far-right'.

UNESCO has recommended that 'civil society' is given a role in 'countering harmful content and behaviour online' in their guidelines for the 'governance of digital platforms'.

Paul Flanagan in the Mirror: Our social contract has been broken and not by Irish citizens.

"Why wouldn't the limbo generation be fuming when it hears Government ministers explain that Ireland must accommodate unlimited numbers of migrants and asylum seekers because of their "international obligations".

"Have they no right to ask why this unwanted Coalition won't fulfil its national obligations and adhere to the social contract by providing shelter and a decent health service for its citizens?"

An Independent councillor has claimed that there is considerable tension between locals in North Tipperary and asylum seekers who “have nothing to do all day and end up making a nuisance of themselves.”

Cllr Séamus Morris told The Midland Tribune that he is very concerned about the situation, and he is tabling a motion calling for authorities to cease the movement of asylum seekers into towns and villages without first contacting local councils to see if the appropriate facilities are in place, “thereby taking out the secrecy in the process that exists at the moment.”

He said there are a number of nursing homes throughout Tipperary which are empty and people are looking at them with fear because they fear they will be used for asylum seekers.

“There are people who are coming into Ireland who are not genuine asylum seekers and are just chancing their arm…The government is being reckless with the situation.”
