“Chief Constable warned last week that, ‘This has got to stop. We cannot have a society that allows this to happen.’”

But they do have a society that allows it to happen. The left has allowed these third and fourth world, failed state, immigrants to come to the west “just because” they’re from failed states.

The clash of distinctly different cultures is inevitable - brutal, corrupt, Sharia based system vs. western liberal rule of law based open societies. What could go wrong? Literally everything you see happening - corruption and fraud, male gang brutality, religious based lawlessness, an unwillingness to integrate - was all predictable.

The Irish love the Palestinians so much, they are welcome to them.

Also, with Rosie having returned to the US, I'm sure there's now room for 7 more normal people.

I don’t understand Ireland. They hate the haphazard immigration that’s led to violent Islamists attacking the Irish citizenry, yet they’re recognizing Palestine and ginning up Jew-hatred throughout the country. It’s very schizophrenic. Friends in Ireland tell me it’s a bad time to be Jewish there. The conflict seems very self-inflicted.

Good column as always, Paul. Thanks.

I can't speak to widespread Jew hated, but their position on Gaza is hardly nuanced.

Public demonstrations amount to nothing. Action against the politicians causing the problem bring change.

Why in a democracy can't the people decide ?

Ireland's voting attendance is roughly like ours. About 60% of eligible voters participate. (I think we were about 65% last Presidential election)

Ireland should consolidate. Kick the UK and become Ireland. Then tell Brussels to pound sand….and keep the immigrants.

UPDATE: Mosque burned in Dublin city center today (June 29, 2026). One man arrested. The chairman of the Irish Muslim Council, states: “On numerous occasions, individuals have entered the mosque, live streamed worshippers on social media platforms, interrogated members of the congregation, and spread inflammatory and false narratives portraying Muslims as a threat to Irish society.” (Developing)

Migrants have the vast continent of Africa, why do they need the tiny island of Ireland, too?

Is it safe to travel to Ireland

Legal Editor OpsDesk's avatar

Generally yes - with the typical caveats attendant to any big city. Back and forth fairly regularly without incident. (Though my 22 year old daughter was followed there recently by a vagrant (non-immigrant). Garda interceded.

This is what most wars are like, only 7% of the population was a military combatant.

Didn’t Brexit prevent EU idiocy?

Legal Editor OpsDesk's avatar

There's an argument that Brexit made the EU worse by removing the more moderate voice of the UK.

Deborah Botts's avatar

That is proof of why leaving the EU was a good idea for the UK

I am of Irish ancestry (third and fourth generations) and truly love Ireland, her people and culture. This breaks my heart to see them going through what we in America are going through. I pray that the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, the nations of the UK and the nations of the EU, as well as America can throw off these invaders back to their own lands - we all deserve to have our nation's culture and sovereignty back!

It’s clearly the IDF causing all these troubles.

Ireland has been destroyed and is not coming back. It started with Varadkar.
