Can I ask what news houses you have approached with this ground-breaking research? This information should be publicized more as it could help assuage the fears of people worried about all the murdering the Islamists commit around Europe due to their hate of other religions.

A little bit of education goes a long way.

Perhaps the EU should smarten up on it's internal borders, nevermind it's already porous external borders (served by taxi boats and smugglers). Technically Ireland, being an island, off another island, should be very safe compared to the EU mainland, but then again the x4 lads that jumped out of a truck via Spainish port months ago in Co Laois, only showed up on the radar last week.

Most of these attacks are carried out by nutcase Muslims who have no direct connection to ISIS/Al Qaeda or any other flavor of the month Islamic groupings and tbh that's more worrying to me. We have vast amounts of Muslim mostly men who feel it's okay to go around killing us because we don't believe in or we take the piss out of their particular brand of sky fairy. Personally speaking i don't want Ireland to end up like parts of France and think we should put strict limits on inward migration from Islamic countries. If that makes we a racist then so be it.

Most victims of knife crime in London are not some innocent people going about there business, they are involved in crime themselves. And they don't go on killing sprees regardless. Stabbing one person isn't a spree. Regardless, racism isn't an excuse to join a gang or become a terrorist and go about stabbing and killing people.

I should possibly have said the stories are not that representative, and we both have different anecdotes. If racism exists in Ireland, expressed hatred and racism, it exists amongst the feral underclass and to tackle that would need a functioning police force and judiciary.

As an island (surrounded by water), yes would require better checks at ports here (a road border isn't a shipping/air port). More staff at Belfast port/airport is now a given now with brexit, So thus more staff should be also be present at Rosslare going forward. It may even require staff placed at French/Spanish ports where numbers will likely dramtically increase after Britian leaves.

Is there some sort of points scoring system in place, where you get negative points for Anders Breivik and that guy who ran over a bunch of people in Charlottesville and that guy who killed a bunch of people in a mosque, compared to positive points if the attack was carried out by an ethnic minority guy?

To attain this view attacks are put in a 'the west began it' frame. Often these type of leftists want little to do with trade unions, zero hour contract issues, or squeezed workers. The unglamourous but authentic traditional left paradigm is a total yawn to them. They will often resort to equally nuts paradigms to defend welfare layabouts, seeing them as 'the poor' from a Charles Dickens novel, again victims of nasty bullies that need a noble defender. The idea of proletariat is unlinked with actual labour and wages in their minds. They are typically young (but not always) and very active online, chasing kudos and cachet through virtue signalling: "Look at me - I'm a good person".

That yet again this attack was committed by one known to the police is yet another horrid reminder that governments throughout Europe are far too complacent about how they treat these watch lists. RIP to the victims and may the attacker soon be put down.

Far too often they don't make a move on the person as they're hoping to get the ringleaders or higher up members of these terrorist organisations. These killings could have been stopped had the authorities taken action sooner and locked this guy up. It's also very wrong to say "send him back where he came from", because extremely often we find out the person happens to be born and raised in the area and is not a migrant. They are often the children of happily settled migrants who have never, and would never, commit these kinds of atrocities. I have no issue with migrants or refugees who come here to work, but honestly I say string up the terrorists and to hell with their rights.
