A suspected arson at a hotel in remote Rosscahill is the latest in a wave of attacks on asylum seeker housing, amid rising anti-immigrant rhetoric fuelled by far-right groups.
Yes, that is how you solve the problem of too many refugees being in one area. You burn down what little they have and then go on the internet to take issue with the tone of how it is reported not the arson itself.
To be fair, I don’t think anyone had moved in there yet.
There is nothing new here. There has always been a vocal, violent, right leaning minority in Irish society. There have been two instances that have made headlines around the world in the past few weeks that may make it seem like Irish society in general is leaning further to the right. I hope this isn’t true.
I’m taking issue with the implication being this is a right wing turn against foreign nationals and not a result of piss poor communication from a shit government.
I mean as a form of protest against throwing immigrants in the middle of nowhere without a proper plan, in a tiny town that likely can’t support them…Yeah, why not? Not exactly the most ideal plan, but hey, it makes people pay attention.
Maybe because everyone can see how you are trying misdirection and taking issue with the wording of the headline instead of the arson of a refugee center. My response to hearing that someone burned down a building full of refugees is not “well really it is the government’s fault also they aren’t telling the arsonist’s side of things”.
Governments are as a general rule incompetent, that isn’t an excuse for fucking arson
So burn the hotel down?

It didn’t work 23 years ago in Tipperary, it won’t work now. https://www.irishtimes.com/news/fire-at-hotel-for-asylum-seekers-1.264123
They’ll claim the insurance, rebuild the hotel and refugees will move in anyway.
Burn it down again, I guess? Lol
I don’t agree with it I just think the mismanagement of this whole crisis has resulted in things like this and the Dublin Riots.
I don’t understand why you think this is a good point or worth saying, I didn’t defend burning it down.
Do you struggle with reading?
