@IrishTimes Irish are crowded out. In Lucan 3k Irish live with their parents. 45k migrants live in the area. Nearly 2k have no English or speak it poorly. This is not a smart trade off.

There are literally hundreds of NGOs for migrants/refugees. With billion $ plus spent on their causes including IPAS. Meanwhile @ataxia_ireland got a miserable €6,668 (HSE National Lottery Grant) funding in their latest financial report.

After Losing One Child, Cork Dad Begs for Treatment Ireland Still Won’t Fund — While €670 Million Goes to Ukraine A Cork father whose family has already been devastated by a rare genetic disease is publicly pleading with the Irish Government and HSE to fund Skyclarys (omaveloxolone), the first approved treatment shown to slow the progression of Friedreich’s ataxia. Craig Coady of Buttevant lost his 13-year-old son Rory to the condition in September 2025. His older son, Paudie (16), also has Friedreich’s ataxia and is deteriorating. The progressive neurodegenerative disorder damages the spinal cord, peripheral nerves, and often the heart. Paudie, who did not need a wheelchair last year, now faces increasing mobility difficulties and fatigue. Coady has said: “I can’t lose him. He is all I have left.” Around 200 people in Ireland live with Friedreich’s ataxia. Skyclarys received European Commission approval in February 2024 for patients aged 16 and older. It is available in several other European countries, including France, Germany, Portugal, and Spain, but remains unreimbursed in Ireland. The HSE received the pricing and reimbursement application in August 2024. The HSE Drugs Group deferred a decision in mid-July 2026 pending further specialist input, with a hoped-for resolution within weeks. Taoiseach Micheál Martin has stated he wants patients to access the drug “as fast as we possibly can” and previously told Coady he would do everything possible to help. Lauren Shaw, another young Irish woman living with the condition, has also appealed publicly for funding, describing progressive damage to the spinal cord and peripheral nerves.Campaigners and support groups have contrasted the delays with Ireland’s overall support for Ukraine. Recent government announcements, including a further €125 million package, have brought Ireland’s total assistance to Ukraine since Russia’s encroachment in 2022 to more than €670 million (encompassing humanitarian, stabilisation, energy, and non-lethal military support). Public posts and commentary, including from groups supporting frontline health staff, have highlighted the Coady and Shaw cases alongside this figure, arguing that Irish patients are being left without a treatment that could slow irreversible decline while substantial public funds are directed overseas. One widely shared post noted the contrast with “almost 200 more people in Ireland” affected and called on Micheál Martin, Simon Harris, and the Government to prioritise funding for Skyclarys immediately. Friedreich’s ataxia has no cure. Skyclarys is the first therapy demonstrated in trials to slow disease progression. Families emphasise that every month of delay allows further irreversible loss of function. Coady has indicated the ongoing deferral could force extreme measures, including considering relocation abroad for access. The HSE maintains that reimbursement decisions follow objective clinical and economic assessment processes, with commercial negotiations ongoing. Families and advocates continue to press for an expedited final decision, stressing that time is critical for those living with the rapidly progressive condition.

Finally, here is a chart listing top 50 payouts for Q1 & Q2 2026. IPAS is the biggest financial scandal in the history of he State. Please comment with any more info or insights.

Jaw-dropping analysis here from Nick Delehanty on accommodating asylum seekers, which is set to cost us €1.5bn this year. Deloitte, the auditors? €6m for the D Hotel in Drogheda for six months? Wasn't that supposed to be returned to normal commercial use after two years in March 2026? Has it been extended? So many unlimited companies (which don't file public financial accounts), and so many non-standard corporate structures. Where is our mainstream media on this?

What is the effect of high immigration on native fertility? A study used the natural experiment of the large and unexpected immigration surge to Miami in 1980. Native fertility fell in Miami compared to controls as housing costs soared while wages fell. 🧵

For those who want to do the calculations manually themselves you can use the CSO map itself: Select an LGA and Select 'explore all themes'. 'Migration Ethnicity & Religion' is where this data comes under. Tables are easier for calculations (it presents default as a chart). 'Usually resident population by ethnic or cultural background' is where you`ll find what you need. Direct data link: Screenshot: This is what a 91.4% Ethnic Irish (White Irish + White Irish Traveller) area looks like . Areas with higher rates of non Ethnic Irish correlate with more A) poor english (defined as those who do not speak english well or at all) and B) More 'Not Stated' for Ethnicity.

Government suppression: 'documents were produced under a Standing Order 52 passed by the NSW upper house in May. While some have been made public, the government claimed privilege over others, preventing their public release.' Don`t think this is confined to Italian/Australian labelled foods.

When people say modern food is poison maybe they are onto something..... 'Hoyts Tumeric found to have lead chromate, a lead based yellow pigment used in paints and plastics in 3 packets tested'

Did you know the Ethnic British population drops by almost 250,000 a year* because deaths outnumber births for that group. 1 million less every 4 to5 years. The Ethnic British population in the 1950/60s was in the low 50 millions. About the same as today. * Updated 2025 data

2025 Data shows a decrease in % of Ethnic British births. We are likely seeing a net 220,000 - a year - drop. "310,456 babies were born to mothers classified as White British, accounting for just 53 per cent of all births."

"Some Australians may have unknowingly consumed horse meat in products sold as beef or lamb, or eaten food containing mouse fur or metal shavings, secret government files reveal."

Forensic food testing has found products labelled as made in Italy and made in Australia as actually from slave labour in China. Also: "Products from India recorded the highest number of failures, with salmonella in spices one of the most common problems."

Over 9 million head of cattle processed in 2025 in Australia. 90% estimated to have been halal. 90% of beef, lamb, chicken is halal. Meat processing across many countries is being taken over by religious fanatics And
