Young Irish residents protesting migrant housing in East Wall, Newtownmountkennedy & Dundrum cite housing shortages, strained services & no community consultation.
Many concerns focus on asylum seekers from high-risk regions (esp. parts of Africa/Middle East/Pakistan): Europe-wide data shows overrepresentation in violent/sexual crime for some Muslim-origin groups (e.g. North African, Afghan, Pakistani cohorts in UK/DK/SE/DE). UK grooming gangs heavily Pakistani-heritage. Ireland lacks granular stats but incidents fuel fears.
Prioritise Irish capacity, vetting & integration. Locals deserve a say.
