Thousands of Irish protesters are marching in Dublin against unchecked mass immigration.
The protesters can be seen holding banners reading “Send them back” and “House the Irish, not the world.”
Irish citizens have increasingly become concerned about the sustainability of current immigration levels.
The Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI) released a report on November 28 that confirmed a significant increase in the number of individuals claiming asylum in Ireland. In 2022, 13,600 asylum claimants entered Ireland, an increase of 415% from 2021.
Irish politicians accelerate agenda to quash free speech amid stabbing
On November 23, a 49-year old Algerian migrant with Irish citizenship went on a stabbing spree outside a Parnell Square school in Dublin that seriously injured five people, including a 5-year-old girl, a 5-year-old boy and a 6-year-old girl.
Riots ensued on the streets of Dublin later that day as protesters set vehicles on fire and clashed with police.
Rather than being concerned about the Algerian child-stabber, the most vocal Irish politicians instead expressed outrage towards the protesters.
Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar later said he aims to “modernize laws against hatred.”
