Ocean FM's coverage of the arrest of local election candidate James Conway last Saturday for causing criminal damage to a home in Kilglass, west Sligo, allegedly belonging to an accommodation provider for asylum seekers.
Conway recorded himself with a crowbar outside the home while waiting for the gardaí to arrive and has been critical of the lack of coverage in the media about the incident.
Ocean FM say that the leadership of the Irish Freedom party have confirmed that Conway will still stand in Ballymote-Tubbercurry area for the party in the local elections on June 7th.
Reaction from texters to Ocean FM was mixed.
Edit: Ocean FM neither asked for nor received a statement from leadership of the Irish Freedom Party regarding James Conway.

>Regardless of how many GBNews slots are offered, the Tory machine has zero interest in solving demographic replacement on either side of the border or in Britain. Just as in Carson’s time, Ireland is a chip in a wider internal power game by London elites happy to placate the Brexit-voting peasants with some cheap Daily Mail headlines as the country transforms into a Pakistani slum.
>Thinking that the Republic’s hopelessly anglophile political class is simply Brit bashing a la John McGuirk doesn’t cover the real issues at hand. London mandarins seriously considered moving millions of Hong Kongers in the 1980s to the six counties to kill two birds with one stone and won’t hesitate to direct tens of thousands of Afghans to Mount Street if it needs a polling boost.

Our government can be extremely efficient at moving hoards of foreign men out of an area when they want to.
The difference under a @NationalPartyIE government will be that we'll be putting them on airplanes instead of in hotels.

Speaking to Matt Cooper on The Last Word in 2007, the Taoiseach, Bertie Ahern admitted that immigration could not continue at the levels of the last 10 years and admitted that perhaps another percentage point, from 10% to 11% was as far as we could go.
Taoiseach: "Our capacity to continue or to move beyond the 10% figure, I would have grave doubts about that. I'm not saying you can't go to 11.You can't go as we have done in a decade from probably 2% to 10 and in the next decade go from 10 to 20."
Matt Cooper: "So does that mean we have enough immigrants who have come to the country at this stage, as far as you are concerned?"
Taoiseach: "I think the numbers that we'll be able to take in in the next 10 years will not be able to match the numbers that came in in the last 10 years and I think that is self-evident. There is no country or at least very few countries with our size and capabilities would end up with 20% of the workforce non-Irish."

I admit that I was Commandant General Commanding in Chief the forces of the Irish Republic which have been acting against you for the past week, and that I was President of their Provisional Government. I stand over all my acts and words done or spoken in those capacities.
When I was a child of ten I went down on my bare knees by my bedside one night & promised God that I should devote my life to an effort to free my country. I have kept that promise. As a boy & as a man I have worked for Irish freedom, first among all earthly things. I have helped to organise, to arm, to train, and to discipline my fellow-countrymen to the sole end that, when the time came, they might fight for Irish freedom. The time, as it seemed to me, did come, and we went into the fight. I am glad we did. We seem to have lost. We have not lost. To refuse to fight would have been to lose; to fight is to win. We have kept faith with the past, & handed on a tradition to the future.

Asylum seekers pitch up opposite a 5-star hotel in the affluent south Dublin neighbourhood of Ballsbridge after being warned that tents can no longer be erected near the IPO around Mount Street.
Up to 15 men, from Afghanistan and Somalia, arrived at St Mary’s Church Park on St Mary’s Road shortly before 9pm last night on the suggestion of volunteers.
The small park is the property of St Mary’s Catholic Church on Haddington Road.
Gardaí advised they would be patrolling the area through the night. They said they did not want “the situation to escalate” and asked that the men leave the park before local primary schools opened on Friday morning.

Ballsbridge asylum seekers the top story on Newstalk.
"Obviously they were noticed by some of the residents who came down and were investigating what was going on, and quickly after that gardaí arrived, and the parish priest here that owns the little park came down to investigate, and he said they could stay here overnight as long as they were gone first thing in the morning."
Quite different to what happened when they pitched tents on Sandwith St.

Will Trinity students from the Dept of Sociology be down to oppose their removal or do they only do that in working class areas?

They've gone. D4SaysNO the most successful and fastest opposition campaign in Irish history! They didn't even have to make a banner.
>Some 15 homeless asylum seekers have been moved on from Ballsbridge in Dublin after setting up tents their last night.
>Ms Holland said the asylum seekers were packing up by 8am this morning and were unsure of what lay ahead.
>“They will regroup and decide where to pitch tents tonight, they’re on the move around the city to find somewhere to stay and hopefully not have to move every night.”
