Gript-A source of misinformation. **Read OP before posting**

I wasn't being selective i simply scrolled news feeds and they were the 3 most recent stories I found this morning around violent crimes that showed at the time i posted, which at 7:38am just happened to be a lot of court cases from yesterday, coincidentally they happened to be 3 stories that had native Irish perpetrators. You then specifically went looking for stories where the perpetrators were non white/irish in an attempt to prove me wrong so really who is being selective here? Also i don't happen to have a time machine so couldn't see into the future.

You happened to ignore the main question of why are there only riots when the perpetrator is not white? That post mans murder is fvcking disgusting, they went looking for him with golf clubs. It happened in October last year, did I miss the public outrage and people taking to the streets then? Many knuckle draggers seem to huddle behind the "protect our women" banner yet again theres nowhere close to the visible public outrage and riots in the street anytime there is a case of a native Irish men beating, assaulting or murdering an Irish women.

The kinneally probe has been going on for years and has had countless stories and updates on it in the time since grift has existed yet today is the first time they have ever posted anything about it, not when he was convicted of more crimes in 2023, not when the probe started hearing evidence in 2024, and not when the report was finished last year, but im sure you will say that's just me being selective or that its old news and the abuse of countless young boys with state and church complicity over 28 years isn't really that important a story…..

Love that the British moving to Spain/elsewhere are “ex pats”, never immigrants.

I'm not saying immigrants don't contribute anything to the economy, that has never been my point. The point im making is that the ESRI is claiming they contribute more than native Irish people to the economy. While that €4000 may be a relatively small sum in the overall scheme of things its still 13% of the hypothetical €30,000 income you mentioned.

Considering the ESRI claim is that migrants make a marginally higher contribution to the Irish Fiscal purse, leaving out the fact that they send 13% of their income abroad on average is almost certainly done on purpose.

All statistics and reports can be manipulated and I'm pretty certain that a report commissioned by the department responsible for migration isnt going to commission a report that undermines their policies. Does it even compare like with like? How many migrant pensioners are their in the country who paid their dues 30-50 years ago? Is comparing the fiscal impact of a retired 70 year old native with a 30 year old immigrant really fair? It talks about the fiscal impact of migrants on the economy during the crash which was nearly 20 years ago now and when our immigration policy and where the immigrants were coming from was nothing like today. Reports like this are usually published for the benefit of those who commission them.

Ben putting in a performance once again despite being outnumbered on the panel as usual including the host.

Interesting information here about Ben personally. He said in this video his own mother is a Jamaican immigrant and Fatima we know her father is from Pakistan. These people just get it despite only 1 Irish parent.

Aontu is left wing and playing the race card doesn't work when we're talking journalists who are half Jamaican and half Pakistani. They just see common sense on an issue the vast majority of Irish agree.

The host is funded by the government the lady to his left receives state funding for her NGO too. Outgunned but well able to stand his ground.

He's being challenged, there's plenty of extreme violence perpetrated by Irish people in the Republic and North of Ireland. In fact the man who was attacked was previously tortured in a pretty brutal fashion in Scotland by a criminal gang associated with the UVF.

Scallan here appears to be pretending like there aren't plenty of seriously violent crimes perpetrated by locals. Northern Ireland has a huge gender based violence issue. It's got Loyalists who still behave like paramilitaries. Ben seems happy to dodge the fact that the greatest fear in Belfast this week has been caused by the rioters which have been egged on by the likes of Elon Musk and Tommy Robinson. There are people who have had their homes burnt down because they're not the right colour.

A pogrom has occurred in Belfast and there's not a mention of it on gript, it's focused solely on the attack. There's no mention of the rioting, let alone the fact that the victims family have condemned it. They are agenda driven and have no intention of pursuing serious journalism. It says a lot about a publication when they actively choose to not report on riots that are being reported on globally.

He's definitely putting on a performance but it's playing to the lowest common denominator.

'We are living in a country where beheadings or semi beheadings are becoming normal'

How is that in any way a factual, rational comment? It's pure and utter over the top shite, which is what I have come to expect from Gript.

I never played a race card i just referred to him and his ilk as far right racists, also once again the results of every election held in the history of the state show no evidence that anywhere close to a majority agree with his position.

And its Virgin Media not RTE so the host is not directly funded by the government, the VAST majority of Virgin Medias funding comes from commercial operations, they receive small grants from the government but the recent 3 million one that lasts over several years is a drop in the bucket compared to their annual revenue off 55-60 million.

Ah thats just amusing really. 😂

People who are against migration can and do pull apart studies like this all the time. I've already been able to poke holes in it and you simply dismiss it with nonsense and arguing against points I am not making. You clearly want to believe what this report says because it aligns with your views. Then you started rambling about Brexit.

Your "back of the envelope calculations" were addressed and nothing I said dismissed what you said. You are trying to claim I am saying they have no economic benefit when I acutally said the statement that they are more fiscally productive than Irish people is dubious at best and a conclusion most likely achieved by omission of facts and figures.

Your dishonesty in how you argue is so obvious. You cant actually address people who challenge you without misrepresenting what they say.

The stabbing case is an Irish citizen who was originally an asylum seeker, not an illegal immigrant
