WATCH: Largest protest opposing immigration to date packs city centre

The largest protest to date in opposition to the government’s handling of immigration saw thousands of demonstrators pack Dublin city centre today.

As numbers of migrants and asylum seekers surge, and the government struggles to deal with what an Taoiseach Simon Harris has described as ‘shanty towns in Dublin city centre’, protesters today demanded urgent action on the growing crisis. 

Marchers waved tricolours and held posters critical of the government’s immigration policy. They passed a counter-protest on O’Connell Street which had been cordoned off by an Garda Síochana without incident.

 

Sinn Féin, which has recently pivoted on the issue of immigration, were described as “traitors” during chanting by the crowd on Custom House Quay.

 

The crowd heard from a number of speakers, and was addressed by candidates in the upcoming local and European elections including Malachy Steenson and Gavin Pepper.

There were criticisms of media outlet for the coverage of the crowds – and praise for X, which Elon Musk responded to by tweeting that “The people of Ireland are standing up for themselves”.

Mr Steenson, who was an organiser of today’s event, slammed the government for seeking to blame the crisis in the immigration system on Britain – saying “the British government is doing what the Irish government should be doing”. He said that the elections in June were an opportunity for change.

The crowd applauded those in attendance from Newtownmountkennedy who were the focus of national attention in recent weeks when the Garda riot squad charged those opposing the placement of a migrant centre in the Wicklow town.

 

There were repeated call during the march to get the government out, while marchers chanted “whose streets? Our Streets” as the crowd moved down O’Connell Street.

Immigration is now now a priority issue for voters, polling shows. Numbers of asylum applicants continue to surge as more than 30,000 are housed by the state in addition to demands for accommodation and services for more than 104,000 Ukrainians.

The additional pressure on housing and services have come as Ireland was already experiencing a critical shortage of homes, and a crisis in healthcare services.

According to the last Census, one in five people now living in Ireland were not born here.

The grass roots Irish nationalist movement never had any faith in FF/FG and know they are the turncoats and sellouts of the nation. SF were the republican wing of a once sovereign nation and a movement which posed as the alternative to bring back the nation to its nationalist, sovereign, autonomous self determinating roots, however they too and have sold out as they are in lock step with the FG/FF globalist agenda destroying the homogenous, cultural and societal fabric of the nation hence the chanting of “SF are traitors”.

Helen McEntee knew two years ago about refugees flooding in through the north.Sein Fein sat idly by and did nothing.They have spent the last six months talking about stopping Israel bombing baby killers and rapists.While at the same time baby killers and rapists are flooding down through the North as you put it.

People here hate FF,FG and SF equally but SF are getting it in the neck because they were supposed to be the new national party and a all ireland party.Hence them being called traitors.

However Sein Fein have took the side of baby killers I.E Palestians “resistance/ terrorist” groups Isis,Hezbollah and Hamas.What i have stated above is that instead of allowing Ireland to be invaded by baby killers and Rapists why don’t they do the job they are elected to do.Ireland is not Palestine,Israel,Hamas,IDF,Hezbollah,isis or any other backward shithole.Stop making the world our problem.

I’m not imagining anything, I’ve just noticed that because the ‘left’ are on the side of the Palastinians many on the right seem to have a knee jerk reaction of support for the Israelis, this I think is a mistake. I also think that the left are now getting a clear sight of who exactly runs the west, I hope you can read between the lines here ;-),
And for the record I was at the protest yesterday just like I was on almost all of the anti lockdown marches and I repeat my assertion that it’s a good thing that the ‘lefties’ find themselves being anti establishment with regard to Gaza, you do remember that they and their views have had the full support of all the western governments and the legacy media for some decades now so let them feel the wrath of authority for a change instead of us, they might actually learn something,
Also you can’t put Hezbollah and Hamas in the same category as ISIS, please tell me that you know that the Israelis worked with ISIS to try and destroy Syria,
The ‘beheaded babies’ and ‘gang rapes’ allegedly committed by Hamas have been shown to be nonsense, you should not be repeating msm media lies,
In all the commenting I have done on Gript I have never gotten a down vote except when I criticise Israel and it’s actions,
What the fuck is it with the ‘right’ and Israel, talk about a blind spot.
One last thing, and one that we can agree on, we in Ireland cannot be made a life raft for the world, we need to look after our own people first and foremost and none of the main political parties will help us do that,
Have a good day Shane.

SF have failed the people that support them, by offering absolutely no opposition to the sitting government, in fact it is quit apparent that their policies are in alignment with the opposition. This just goes to show how naive they are as politicians, if the tables had been reversed, FF,FG would have opposed everything pre election in as loud and with as much conviction as possible, and then just do a complete U turn when they got in to government, SF U turned too early.

The large circa 20k turn- out at the anti-Mass Migration/Plantation demonstration 6th June clearly shows that the Irish Regime has no legitimacy to impose their agenda on the Irish People.
This was shown to the World by Social Media, and RTE self- harmed its dwindling credibility by down- playing the event.
The puny pathetic collection of loons ,lefties. NGO’s and antifa that huddled behind a protective screen of Garda outside the GPO, desecrated that sacred ground, that was the genesis of our fight in 1916 for our Republic, its freedoms,collated in our Constitution.
The ‘useful idiots’ of the Left have no conception of the Big Agenda of which Weaponised Mass Migration is but a part in Europe.
The Lefts extreme ideology blinds them from recogising that they are participants in their own demise and destruction. The regular Regime funding and pay checks at Taxpayers expense also keeps them on message.
The Left suffer from Pathological Altruism, that is the willingness to suffer their own dis-enfranchisment, their own destruction and displacement ,to virtue signal, and support civilisational suicide in pursuit of an insane, ideological, chaos creating, unattainable mirage.
There is a war on Western civilisation and its mainly White race, with Mass Migration and Media Propaganda /demonisation as the tools to undermine the social order.
Ireland as a small out-lying Nation has been seen as an easy target because of its corrupt,compromised, malleable Regime and State Institutions.
The People are at last awake to the danger to their very existence and freedom. The June Local and European Elections are the next opportunity to strike another blow against the accelerating dictatorship of this malevolent Regime of fools ,thieves ,charlatans ,poltroons and Tyrants.Vote wisely.

Auld stock – one of my favourite quotes came from the mouth of Seamus Mallon – “The Good Friday Agreement is Sunningdale for slow learners”. Another thing that those attracted to Sinn Fein will, hopefully, learn – albeit it will be a slow process with them – is that Marxism doesn’t work. Up to a few years back, Sinn Fein was all palsy walsy with the Marxist nutters In Venezuela – look at the state of Venezuela now. There’s just too much evidence – as another commentator has noted in this thread – that Marxists have infiltrated Sinn Fein – if Sinn Fein wishes to present itself as a credible alternative to the burgeoning movement of independents, then a major re-think is required within the party – chuck Che Guevara and all the rest of that ideological nonsense out of the window – NOW !!!!

Great atmosphere at the March lovely crowd. We arrived a bit late to a deserted Garden of remberance.
We decided to walk past the traitors of Ireland huddled around the GPO cocooned by yellow clad R.I.C. goons . The R.I.C. wouldn’t let us though ,said one way traffic and to
go behind the GPO . I said we wanted to listen to the pro refugee speech” no problem go ahead” . A very unconvinced listless group spread out well to look like a crowd, lot’s of them probably rent a crowd. Anyway we soon caught up with our people ,the true Irish.
GB news gave a positive report ,filmed live as the speeches were ongoing. Gave a good record of our concerns .

The Irish Time’s coverage of this is such a clear example of the “let’s sew the seeds of doubt” propaganda.

““This is our country,” shouted one man, arriving with a scarf hiding his face. “, no mention of the 99.9% of people proudly showing their faces.

“Several hundred people marched through Dublin city…
The march went past the GPO where about 200 people staged a counter-protest”. Thousands is now described as several hundred. But of course saying “hundred” when they’re referring to easily 50 hundred, that makes it sound measly, and comparable in scale to the counter protest

“It took about 45 minutes for the entire crowd to pass through O’Connell Street, which caused significant traffic disruption.”… I was caught in that disruption, and happy to be. A peaceful protest, well organized by a prominent community member and candidate for European election… What, should we just ban protests all together now?

Ya do wonder what is going on in the heart of the journalist Jack White who authored this nonsense propaganda. Sitting there at his desk, typing, sipping coffee, organising his words to sell his lie as convincingly as possible. He fully knew he was lying, he couldn’t not. What a low integrity man.

It’s deliberate.

Same happens on crime reports when CCTV footage is shown. It’s almost always blurry and grainy. The tech 20 years ago may not have been great but any recent CCTV tech is crystal clear quality. I’m not sure what the reason that this is done with crime appeals especially when an extremely dangerous suspect is on the loose and the footage/photos stills taken from the footage is practically useless, must have been decided on a universal level*.

*Storage/compression has been touted as a reason, and it may have been in the past but I know that footage that is held in crime investigations (crystal clear) is not the same as the footage or stills that are released in crime appeals to the public (poorer resolution)

Compare coverage – by RTE – of this demonstration as against its coverage of the “George Floyd” demonstration in summer of 2020 (when we were all supposed to keep within 5kms of our homes). The question arises: for how much longer does RTE think it can fend off root and branch reform – such reform should be an “upfront” part of the electoral manifesto of those unaligned with the Govt. or the current opposition parties.

I hate to say that I disagree with the idea of 2 election cycles but I wish it wasn’t.
I think this next general election will be the last chance to save our country, our culture, our society and the future for our children. FG,FF will not want to give up power and they and SF will put aside their differences to form a majority government.
Then, during the lifetime of the next government, because the number of asylum seekers here will then be too big to tackle, they will declare an amnesty, grant citizenship and passports to all of them. Then watch the family re-unifications begin, not them travelling home, but bringing all their extended families here who will then have the right to live here. For every one here now, expect 20 more. This is what the present government is hoping to achieve by stuffing them into every corner of the country now, as fast as they can.
By the time of the following election, with our declining birthrates, abortion, euthanasia and emigration, they will be the majority. However they will have their own candidates who will replace all traditional ones. They will use our own democratic system against us.
At that point, because we are importing the dregs of Africa, the Middle East and Eastern Europe, there won’t be enough of the right, skilled labour for the multinationals who will leave and our economy will collapse. Then Ireland will become another failed African country. We had it all but squandered it.

Just returned from the shops. Noticed that not a single newspaper had a front page report on Monday’s city center protest. However, most had the killing of a young black man in a gang/drug shooting. I certainly do not want Dublin turning into a Paris with all the torching of cars. Last year it was over 2000 around France and nearly double that of other acts of arson. Ireland and the EU countries need to quickly deport the perpetrators who are foreigners and give hard labour to the locals who get involved. We do not need new laws – we need our existing laws properly and strictly enforced.

Not going to happen without a change to a Nationalist or National Government. It’s wishful thinking to think it will happen under the main parties even if the current politicians within them are replaced.

I’ve said here before that it’s gone to get alot worse before it gets better. I’m not happy to be right about this, but we have accept reality. A poster a little further up estimates 2 x election cycles before we manage to elect a Government that will enact the changes needed. Until then it’ll be tinkering around the edges and more of same propaganda. Unless there is a major trigger event and a spontaneous protest/riot/march on the Dáil and they get dragged out of there. I believe this is a possibility, maybe a remote one, but more likely to happen in a small country than one of the bigger European countries. The politicos are aware, hence talk of Harris and his family moving to the Phonoeix park for security reasons and other recent reports of the need of increasing security for politicians. They are worried. They might be inept but they are not completely oblivious. They might be able monitor, infiltrate, manipulate and contain a couple of hundred dissidents/Saoradh types but they won’t be able to contain another Dublin 23Nov23 type spontaneous event particularly if there’s a more spectacular trigger event. The types of attacks in Britain and on the Continent will not be tolerated in Ireland like they would be in Britain/France/Germany. Just like they wouldn’t be tolerated in Romania or Hungary, for example.

You need to understand the political/philosophical worldview of those who are pushing this agenda – some of these people would not wake up until they are kneeling down on the edge of Execution Square, with an Iman alongside holding a sword above their neck, for example. Others know but don’t care or worse they want to inflict this on us. I know from speaking to life-long FG party members that they see these issues as ‘policing issues’ and not ‘mass immigration of uncivilised savages from third world country’ issues. The survival instinct in their minds was long ago conditioned out of them. It’s sad to see, and as otherwise decent as these people are they are extremely dangerous. We are more likely to end up like Sweden i.e. gang bombings/auto0matic rifle attacks than the France burning of cars type of scenario. If there’s any comfort in that.

There are already alot more low level attacks and crimes by these immigrants against both each other and targetting native Irish that aren’t being reported on in the media. Plenty of video footage on the fringe channels. They are fully emboldened now. No fear of us a natives or the Guards.
