An asylum seeker with no passport, claiming to be from Syria and who says he arrived in Ireland in a shipping container in March, has been remanded in custody.

Seif Waleed Al Hindawi, 22, is accused of carrying out a predatory attack on a woman who informed gardaí that she was held on the ground and bitten on her face and lips after she was followed by the man after getting off the Luas in Churchtown.

Syrians are expedited through the asylum process in Ireland as nearly all are granted refugee status.

They were taking no chances and had the public order unit out to escort two minibuses of asylum seekers into the Carraroe Coral Hotel today. One of the buses had a UK reg. Rumours are circulating that investors recently purchased the property.

Carraroe is the village with the highest population of Irish speakers in the Connemara Gaeltacht. Nowhere is sacred. Nothing is off-limits.

Best election pitch I've heard on local radio so far—from Daeln Murphy running for Carlow and Tullow.

"Our country is being taken out from under our feet. A country for everyone is a country for no-one. This is our homeland. We need to make sure our people are looked after."

Election posters have to be 2.5 meters off the ground so a couple of blind lads have going around with a measuring tape and a pair of snippers taking down any hung below the limit as a community service.

There's a genuine concern people could get their eyes poked out on the sharp corners, especially if they're sight impaired. Candidates whose posters they collect are then fined €150 per poster.

Today, some shinner in Dundalk got aggro and thought he could take today's harvest off them. He was wrong.

"We've been attacked by Sinn Féin all over this town and I'll tell you what, we're running you all out of it!"

They've a youtube called Blinders with a goal for more clips.

Things get wild during Ocean FM's local elections debate for Manorhamilton in Leitrim with independent candidate Diarmuid McConville.

In his election campaign material, McConville says he supports Operation Clontarf which he describes as the peaceful, friendly, Christian deportation of one million foreigners from Ireland, but he wasn't questioned about this policy goal during the Ocean FM debate.

In 2016, an Open Society Foundations (OSF) intranet called Karl was hacked and 2,576 files were leaked onto a website called DCLeaks.

One file showed OSF had allotted a budget of $500K to be spent exposing Russia's attempts to meddle in European elections. However, the report read that "the evidence was sketchy and more based on strong allegations". It also warned that outwardly accusing Russia of interference was "problematic" as the OSF "also are in the business of channelling money into countries for political purposes."

OSF's clear key interests were to boost EU immigration, increase EU citizenships for migrants, and to then mobilise them politically while countering any opposition. The files detailed the organisations and media entities they funded to support these aims.

Two Irish NGOs named as partners were the Immigration Council and NASC. One report celebrated their lobbying efforts that 77,000 migrants had been granted Irish citizenship in the previous three years.
