Rotherham was done by men of Muslim/Pakistan origin but at the same time, you had a whole public sector/bureaucracy who refused to acknowledge the problem and enforce the law, which in turn allowed these sick in the head lads to keep doing what they were doing. This is why I predict there will be a Rotherham in this country. Francis Fitzgerald's emails and Ballbriggan come from the same place; a system of public sector negligence allowing the whole thing to happen

While there may well be a gang of thugs in the area, there's not a shred of proof of the scary black gangs that are being mooted with such glee. Folks, if yis can't see the wind-up exactly as has been going on in the US and UK for the past couple of years, don't feel too superior as to how the Trumpists and Brexiters fell for made-up or wildly exaggerated dog whistles.

If anyone is genuinely interested in the latest figures for Balbriggan.http://census.cso.ie/p7map12/ There were 91 African nationals in the electoral division of BALBRIGGAN URBAN (04003) in 2016 compared with 213 in 2011. There were 470 African nationals in the electoral division of BALBRIGGAN RURAL (04002) in 2016 compared with 1,118 in 2011. and There were 70 Asian nationals in the electoral division of BALBRIGGAN URBAN (04003) in 2016 compared with 77 in 2011. There were 136 Asian nationals in the electoral division of BALBRIGGAN RURAL (04002) in 2016 compared with 192 in 2011. You can quote those figures as fact to any racist scumbags who try to tell you otherwise.
