    I won't mention the exact cases as them being before courts and everything, but you had to go 30 years back to find something that doesn't even approach what has happened in the last few hears at the hands of illegal migrants.

    Can go back a lot sooner to see horrendous cases involving Irish criminals.

    Nationality doesn't mean anything, scumbags are scumbags.

    This thread really is a master class in confirmation bias, you can set your watch to it.

    'Read something bad in the news? Check the Is Dublin really safe thread for some premium, top tier examples of confirmation bias!'.

    Well done lads, ye never let me down.

    Have you ever been? I have a couple of years ago and it's incredibly jarring how old everyone is. It feels like a society on death's door. Place is full of what should be retired people still working sweeping up, working on trams and lots of other low level work.

    They'd rather do that than allow immigration. It's an extremely xenophobic society, to it's utter detriment. Not something to strive for at all.

    I agree it has always happened, but not on this level by one sector of society. Getting beaten up is not the same as having your throat slit.

    In the past 5 years, 31% of femicides have been at the hands of immigrants. CSO figures for 2022 show 12% of the usually resident population being immigrants. Completely disproportionate.


    For the record I’m not anti immigration, I’d just like to see a safer system in place that detects and stops Romanian child rapists enter the country a week after leaving prison, like the one just deported last week, Vadim Veste.

    But that only happened after he sexually assaulted a woman in a Cork park.

    Too late for an Irish woman. Again.

    people have been getting stabbed and slashed in dublin forever, i think it used to be worse. that romanian guy is in cork not dublin, is cork unsafe too or just dublin?

    have a read of this - hammer attacks, 4 people stabbed at a ramones gig in cabra in 1980, mayhem at lots of gigs! i've never seen any trouble at a gig myself, i think we're generally more chill nowadays, town was way rougher when the bars closed in the 90s

    The Japanese should do everything it can to keep immigration low, it's a beautiful culture and they should do everything they can to preserve it.The way it is is something to strive for due to how clean it is and how respectful the people are.

    I'm pretty certain 99% of people come back from Japan feeling we need to be more like them in a lot of ways rather than coming back from Japan with your attitude.

    The working class heroes didn't turn out in force when the priests and authority figures were sexually assaulting children on a regular basis.

    Need to bring that good Catholic culture back.
