Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar described Europe as “paradise” and his country as “one of the best parts of paradise,” urging citizens not not to link immigration with crime during a speech in parliament on Tuesday.
The PM’s comment came as Ireland continues to reel from the anti-immigrant riots that swept Dublin on Thursday night, after a man of Algerian descent allegedly stabbed three young children and their caregiver before he was subdued by bystanders. Because “Europe is paradise and Ireland is one of the best parts of paradise, thousands will come here and we just need to manage that as best we can,” Varadkar said, insisting that migrants were no more likely to commit crimes than anyone else and it was “totally wrong” to think otherwise. “In a country of 5.3 million people, if there are hundreds of thousands of migrants, there are going to be a few of them who commit terrible crimes, just as there are people born and bred in Ireland who commit terrible crimes every day, including murder,” the PM said. Acknowledging that the suspect in the stabbing case is a “migrant, though a citizen and someone who has been here for over 20 years,” Varadkar stressed that the parents of the five-year-old child that the attacker had put in the hospital were also migrants, as was the Brazilian delivery worker who hit the attacker with his helmet in order to protect the children and three others who intervened to stop the attack. “It is totally wrong to try to make out that there is a connection between crime and migration based on what happened on Parnell Street,” the Irish leader said, referring to the location of the school where the stabbing occurred. The attacker’s motive remains unknown. Several officers were injured in Thursday’s riot, while at least two buses, a tram and multiple police vehicles were torched. Dozens of rioters have been arrested. Irish authorities reacted to the worst unrest in Dublin in decades by vowing to strengthen hate speech laws and beef up surveillance. Justice Minister Helen McEntee rated the police response as “excellent,” while police commissioner Drew Harris denounced the rioters as “a complete lunatic hooligan faction driven by far right ideology.” While he acknowledged there was a “real concern” about the nation’s porous borders, Varadkar told legislators on Tuesday that the number of migrants seeking asylum in Ireland had declined from last year’s record high thanks to his efforts. The country has struggled to accommodate unprecedented immigration, with 141,000 arriving between April 2022 and April 2023 alone, according to the Central Statistics Office.

Recently the Central Bank of Ireland joined the ranks of sovereign gold buyers, adding 2 tonnes of gold to its monetary gold reserves in 2 months, consisting of a tonne of gold bought in each of September and October 2021. While in relative terms, the actual quantity of gold added by the Irish central bank was quite small, in percentage terms it was very substantial, since in August Ireland only held 6 tonnes of gold (supposedly held at the Bank of England), and as of the end of October Ireland now holds 8 tonnes of gold, i.e. a 33% increase (and a significant number for those in the know). These latest monetary gold purchases by Ireland’s central bank are also notable because it’s not often that a central bank that is:
What sparked the Central Bank of Ireland to add to its monetary gold reserves is unclear, because like all Euro puppet central banks and BIS lackeys, the Irish central bank thinks that it does not need to be democratically accountable when it comes to monetary gold. On a Need to Know Basis – And you don’t need to know! When asked by Bloomberg’s reporter last week as to why the Bank had bought 2 tonnes of gold, a Central Bank of Ireland official replied that the Irish central bank’s gold transactions “are commercially sensitive and no further comment can be made at this time”. But why would an EU vassal central bank feel the need to say that buying a modicum of physical gold was ‘commercially sensitive’? Probably it’s what they’ve been told to say by the ECB or BIS, but beyond this maybe it’s because they want to the buy the ultimate monetary asset, gold, while hoping that no one will notice.

Ireland’s Gold Purchase Data Looking quickly at the data behind the latest gold buying by the Irish central bank, what can we see? Before the gold buying in September and October 2021, Ireland claimed to hold 193,693 fine troy ounces of gold. As the latest Central Bank of Ireland annual report for m2020 - 2021 states, this consist of. “Gold and gold receivables [in the form of] coin stocks held in the Central Bank, together with gold bars held at the Bank of England.” DUBLIN, February 26 -- Sinn Féin MP Chris Hazzard has said the British Parliament is locked in a delusional bubble where it can’t decide if it even wants a Brexit deal or not. The South Down MP said: “What was proposed by Theresa May today at Westminster is indicative of the chaos in the British Parliament. “After two years and less than a month away from a potential cliff-edge crash-out the British Parliament still can’t make up its mind whether it even wants a deal or not. “The British Parliament and British political system is in total disarrray and is locked in a delusional bubble. “None of what is happening in Westminster is in the Interests of Ireland. “What we need to see is the EU and the Irish government standing firm and protecting the Irish backstop.” Racist Sinead O’Connor claims she won’t spend time with “disgusting white people” after converting to Islam DUBLIN, November 7 -- Recent Islamic convert Sinead O’Connor, who now goes by the name “Shuhada Davitt”, in a recent tweet declared that “truly I never wanna spend time with white people again (if that’s what non-muslims are called). Not for one moment, for any reason. They are disgusting”
The Irish singer has had a history of mental illness and had at least one suicide attempt in the last year by her own admission, being admitted into a mental hospital soon after. The singer, a self-identified feminist, only recently publicly announced her conversion to Islam, and now wears a hijab. In her most recent flurry of tweets, she says she can no longer spend time with “non-Muslims”, claiming they are “disgusting”. Sinead O’Connor’s demise only serves to highlight how it is typically the most vulnerable and unstable people who convert to Islam. With her history of mental illness, we can only hope she receives the help she needs. |
