🏳️ National Identity
So in the space of ten years:
🔹 The number of people identifying as Irish or Irish & Northern Irish increased 4.57% (from 26.32% to 30.89%).
🔹The number of people identifying as British or British & Northern Irish decreased 6.25% (from 46.06% to 39.81%) although those selecting the latter option increased 1.78%.
🔹 The number selecting Northern Irish Only decreased a little (20.94% in 2011 vs 19.78% in 2021)
🔹 The numbers selecting British & Irish or the full trifecta of British & Irish & Northern Irish increased a little: 1.68% in 2011 vs 2.09% in 2021.
🔹 Those selecting 'Other' increased 2.43% (from 5% in 2011 to 7.43% in 2021). This likely would be explained by immigration mainly.
So the results do suggest there's an increase in the number of people identifying as Irish and a decrease in the number identifying as British which is difficult to explain away by people choosing alternative or additional identifiers.

A handcuffed man who had been arrested over his involvement in a theft inside the Galway Shopping Centre broke out of Garda van last night.
Security footage had captured the man attempting to steal a number of vaping device from the Hale Vaping booth. It's reported that one security guard was punched in the nose while trying to stop the theft.
Gardai have confirmed the man who escaped their van has not yet been returned to Garda custody. You can call the Galway gardaí on (091) 538 000 if you have any information of his whereabouts.
The 2018 National Roma Needs Assessment recommended the government take effective measures to tackle anti-Roma discrimination and racism, and to provide support in ensuring documentation for social protection applications as their study found only 80% of Roma in Ireland were able to easily access ongoing State supports.

James Reynolds condemns the criminal attack on the National Party's 2022 Ard Fheis, an unsuccessful attempt to prevent the event from taking place, and honours the people who held the line, keeping women and children safe.
The far-left in Ireland feel entitled to bludgeon people with hammers in broad daylight. Why? Because the NGO sector and media establishment give it moral sanction.
The same people demand “hate speech” legislation to create a two-tier justice system where they are on top.

"They may call themselves Republicans but they don't understand the Republic. Some of them may even call themselves Nationalists but they don't understand Nationalism... They have come here in the name of Communism and in the name of Marxism, to carry out the work of International Finance Capital. For it is the role of the modern Left not to lead the revolution of the proletariat anymore but to protect the multinational corporations... We remain loyal to the authentic tradition of Irish Nationalism." nationalparty.ie/join

'While it has been common practice for Leftists to make anonymous and not so anonymous threats in the past against National Party members individually both North and South and to make clear their willingness and intent to use violence to, as they refer to it, “de-platform” opponents, Sunday marks a new departure and a shocking escalation on previous attacks or threats. Undoubtedly if they had succeeded in their intentions there would have been many more serious injuries, and the weaponry employed indicates that lives could have been lost. This was not a political altercation, it was an organised terrorist attack.' https://nationalparty.ie/official-statement-on-the-national-party-2022-ard-fheis

Over 60 locals gathered outside a former ESB office block on the East Wall Road in Dublin City tonight after a bus load of single young male asylum seekers were seen being dropped off at the building. Some of the locals said they had been told that Ukrainians would be moved in.
On Monday, the Irish Mirror reported that Minister Roderic O'Gorman's Department of Equality was in the latter stages of negotiations to bring the building on stream to house refugees.
The building has the space to house 300 to 400 people.
"It is a pretty modern building so it would be pretty easy to convert that. It could set a precedent that office blocks are a possibility."
However, it's unclear if the Department has sought planning permission.
While temporary protection applicants such as Ukrainians can be housed anywhere, it's not the case for international protection applicants which the men appear to be.
Mattresses for the men were seen being delivered later.
The locals say they are planning a protest tomorrow at 2PM.

A local in East Wall gives a quick tour of the former ESB office which is being repurposed to house asylum seekers. Partitions can be seen being constructed.
"All brand new beds. Look what we're building for a load of Somalis. We're building little dorms for them. Can't believe the government is after doing this. Not even the Irish people are getting this. It's all Somalis coming over. Fucking scandalous."

"We were protesting outside the Dáil, and you have People Before Profit shouting in our faces — "racist, racist, racist".
"There's two things in this world: ideology and practicality, and there is no practicality in this country. It's all theory, the whole lot of it. They want to save the universe before they save their own culture, and we're not going to put up with it...
"The UN migration pact was signed and we weren't even asked about it. They want the Irish people to lose their fighting spirit by tagging them as far-right and all this crap. It's all psychological warfare. Stand your ground!"

Malachy Steenson asks protestors to return on Monday at 5PM with twice as many people.
"Ensure that you bring not just yourselves, but your wives, your husbands, your children, your neighbours and everybody else. This meeting was called at very short notice and a massive crowd has turned out. We want twice that crowd on Monday evening."
