Maybe in Irish and British news, but like many situations the news is isolated as the world is a little bigger and the problems within the EU with these people much bigger. Such events are happening daily on mainland Europe...and are normally restricted to local press.

After years of being forced to live off events in those dark multicultural elsewheres, while patiently longing for an event of their own to frame as 'Islamic Terrorism', tonight they are only delighted about it. It gives them great opportunity to spread far right racist myths and memes. They're having boners all over. "Finally; been saying it for years; jihad in Ireland"

Gardaí say they have found no established link to indicate the attacks in Dundalk yesterday, in which a Japanese national was stabbed to death and two other people were wounded, were terror-related.

German/Belgium media would never print/report about such events because it would only bring up old memories and open wounds. Added to that I questioned the times and his supposed movements yesterday, having grown up in the area of the event and indeed having lived meters from where the murder took place, I am still of the belief that we only know a small part of the big picture.... Locals yesterday claimed that a squat was raided not too far from where the murder happened and items were removed....no mention of that. National papers are not reporting that the young man entered a stationary shop shortly before he attacked the lad with the pole.......Local papers have it today.....
