An Irish Government with a bit of fkn self respect would have told the Congolese ambassador to take a hike. Same as they ought to have done with Indian equivalent when using a medical accident to push for abortion. Laughing stock. Easy marks for all comers.

I wrote about the amount of social welfare a refugee who is a single mother could expect to obtain with 3 children having never worked in Ireland, I think it is important to circle back to Jozef Puska who murdered Ashling Murphy in cold blood. Facts are important, Jozef Puska's and his brothers Marek Puska and Lubomir Puska moved to Ireland in 2013. At the time of Jozef Puska's trial it was entered into evidence that Jozef Puska's and his brothers did not work in Ireland. Jozef Puska and his immediate family lived in a 5 bedroom council house in Mucklagh, near Tullamore, County Offaly. This was described in multiple reports as "secured shortly before the murder" and referred to in commentary as "free" or state-provided social housing. Jozef Puska personally received disability benefit (Illness Benefit or Invalidity Pension equivalent), reported around €166 per week (approx. €680–€720 monthly. It was was reported in 2025 in court related coverage that the broader Puska extended family household (including Jozef, his wife Lucia Istokova, his brothers Marek and Lubomir Puska, their wives, and a total of 14 children across the group) received over €2,500 per week in social welfare. One breakdown in discussions referenced high child related payments due to the large number of children (e.g., estimates of €40,000 annually in child supports alone for 14 kids). The family would also be entitled to free medical cars, and all the other social welfare benefits despite being unemployed. Over their 10–12 stay in Ireland They potentially received €1.3–€1.5 million in total payments to the extended household (very approximate; rates increased gradually, e.g., core benefits rose from €188/week in 2013 to €244–€254 by 2025/2026, and child numbers grew). And now it is costing Ireland again to keep them in prison. Jozef Puska No fixed term, Could serve 15–30 years or more Projected future (e.g., if serves another 10 years minimum) €990,000 (total potentially €1–3 million over decades, adjusted for inflation). Marek Puska (brother; 30 months / 2.5 years sentence) With 25% remission: serves 22.5 months (1.875 years). Estimated total cost: €185,000–€186,000 Lubomir Puska (brother; 30 months / 2.5 years sentence) Estimated total cost: €185,000–€186,000 Viera Gaziova (Lubomir's wife. Sentences reported as 24–30 months, varying slightly by source using 24 months as common) With 25% remission: serves 18 months (1.5 years). Estimated total cost: €148,500–€149,000. Jozefina Grundzova (Marek's wife Sentences reported as 21–27 months—using 21 months as lower end in some reports) With 25% remission: serves 15.75 months (1.31 years). Estimated total cost: €130,000. Lucia Istokova (Jozef's wife 20 months sentence) With 25% remission serves 15 months (1.25 years). Estimated total cost: €123,800–€124,000. Long term family total for prison costs (if Jozef serves e.g., 20 years total) Could exceed €2–3 million (highly variable; life sentences often cost millions per person over time). Estimate for Puska's trial defence Free Legal Aid (taxpayer cost) Likely €400,000–€800,000 Estimate for the five family members' defence Likely €200,000–€500,000 total Overall Estimate for All Parties (Entire Family Cases) Lowend estimate: €600,000 - €1 million total taxpayer funded legal aid across all defendants. Higher realistic estimate: €800,000–€1.5 million , accounting for full teams, duration, and 2023/2025 payouts to key lawyers involved in Puska-related matters. This excludes prosecution costs (State-funded separately via DPP/Courts Service) or any ongoing appeal elements for Jozef Puska. Jozef Puska has filed an appeal against his conviction for the murder of Ashling Murphy. He was granted legal aid for the appeal in April 2024 by the Court of Appeal. A hearing date has been set for April 23 and 24, 2026, in the Court of Appeal (confirmed in December 2025 by Court of Appeal President Ms Justice Caroline Costello). This could be another €400 - €800 K in legal fees. It would be safe to say that the Puska family cost the state of Ireland over €9-€10 Million euros for their time here. Bearing in mind that an EU citizen moving to Ireland who does not work is generally not entitled to claim most social welfare benefits immediately or automatically, especially means-tested social assistance payments. EU free movement rules (under Directive 2004/38/EC, implemented in Ireland via the European Communities (Free Movement of Persons) Regulations 2015) allow EU/EEA/Swiss citizens to live in Ireland without a visa or work permit, but access to welfare is restricted to prevent becoming an "unreasonable burden" on the social assistance system. Initial Period (First 3 Months / 90 Days) A person has an automatic right to reside in Ireland for up to 90 days. During this time, the person cannot claim social assistance (means-tested payments like Jobseeker's Allowance, Supplementary Welfare Allowance, or most disability/invalidity supports) unless in exceptional circumstances. The person must support themselves (e.g., through savings, private income, or family support) and have comprehensive health insurance to avoid becoming a burden. If a person arrive specifically to look for work, they are explicitly not entitled to claim social welfare while job-seeking in the first period. After 3 Months (Longer-Term Residence)To stay beyond 90 days, A person must qualify under one of the EU categories, such as being employed or self-employed (even part-time or low-hours; no minimum income threshold, but genuine work). Being a student with sufficient resources and health insurance. Being self-sufficient (enough funds comprehensive sickness insurance to not burden the system). Being a family member of someone in one of the above categories. If a person does not fall into these (e.g., arrive and remain without working, without sufficient private resources, or without qualifying work history), The person right to reside can be limited or revoked if you rely on social assistance. So the big question is why was the Pusku family allowed to reside here for so long without being deported. Had the family been deported Ashling Murphy would still be alive and the state would be €10 million euros better off.

A reminder that the courts previously locked up a man for 6 years who evaded customs duties importing "1,000 tonnes of garlic from China by having them labelled as apples."

To keep the Ukraine proxy war going, the EU faced a tough choice: steal Russian assets, and risk legal consequences for themselves; or steal from their own populations, and put the burden on them. They chose the latter:
European Union leaders have agreed to provide an interest-free loan of 90 billion euros to Ukraine to meet its military and economic needs for the next two years. apnews.com/article/europe-su…

🇮🇪🚨 Family reunification from legal migrants with work permits is putting massive pressure on Irish housing, school places, taxpayers, hospitals and other resources. Critical skills permits can apply immediately. General work permits can apply after 12 months. Many of these are earning below the average wage as Cormac Lucey proved this week. Irish people are paying to put their migrant children into schools, hospitals and all the other resources they use in Ireland. This is a massive drain on Irish taxpayers. The housing crisis gets worse and worse. 1. Critical Skills Employment Permit (CSEP) ✅ Yes – full entitlement. CSEP holders can immediately apply for family reunification once they have their permit. Spouse/partner and children can join them. Dependants can work: either by getting a Dependant/Partner/Spouse Employment Permit (free of charge) or, after 2 years on a CSEP, the main holder may obtain a Stamp 4, which gives the family direct residence and work rights. --- 2. General Employment Permit (GEP) ⚠️ Conditional. Must wait 12 months of legal employment in Ireland before applying for family reunification (unless exceptional humanitarian grounds are accepted). As of 15 May 2024, spouses/partners are now granted Stamp 1G, which allows work without needing a separate employment permit (previously they got Stamp 3, which prohibited work). --- 3. Intra-Company Transfer (ICT) Employment Permit ⚠️ Conditional. Holders may apply for family reunification, but like GEP holders, dependants traditionally received Stamp 3 (no work). Since May 2024, spouses/partners of ICT permit holders also receive Stamp 1G, allowing them to work.

I don’t even know where to begin with this story. Alexandrovich is an alleged sexual predator of children. The State Dept. seems unfazed by his special treatment, or the fact that he fled. The Israeli regime clearly doesn’t care either, failing to arrest him, Netanyahu downplaying the entire matter. We are staring into the face of evil. The same depraved indifference that trained an animal virus to spread between people, then sought to inflict an experimental gene therapy on an unsuspecting public—is clearly evident here. It’s the same callousness we see leveling Gaza and starving civilians. It’s one demonic moral framework poking through in many places. There are two kinds of people in the world, those who are fine with violence against innocents, so long as the victims are someone else’s children. And there are those who detest all violence visited upon innocents, no matter whose children they might be. The former group has a stranglehold on power at this moment. They are setting and resetting the terms. It’s us and them. We should accept that much. We must each choose between two worlds: one an eternal, bloody battle between lineages, the other is the West. The West needs to get up off its knees and fight. The alternative is hell on Earth. Everyone’s children are depending on us—even the ones whose parents stand resolutely on the other side.
The Department of State is aware that Tom Artiom Alexandrovich, an Israeli citizen, was arrested in Las Vegas and given a court date for charges related to soliciting sex electronically from a minor. He did not claim diplomatic immunity and was released by a state judge pending a court date. Any claims that the U.S. government intervened are false.

€31 Billion on NGOs... €31,000,000,000 on NGOs.. €31,000 million on NGOs... No matter which way I type it, it's still insane 😱
In the past 5 years, Ireland's NGOs received state funding of €31 billion euros. What did the Irish people get in return for that massive amount of taxpayers' money

Half the force is skiing to work, the other half is covering for them. The gardai enforced the lockdowns, the couldn't find their conscience then. They acted as private security for ipas centres, the didn't find their conscience then They laughed in the faces of concerned women when they pleaded not to allow 100s of men dumped into their towns. They batton charged and pepper sprayed peaceful protesters, including pensioners and terminally ill women. Chickens have come home to roost, fúck em.

Culture and soft power is an important part of international politics, and France has a long history of cosmopolitanism that appeals to universal civilisation: - However, I suspect most of the world interprets this performance at the Paris Olympics as cultural decadence. - The Olympics is always political, so what is the significance? The show evidently intended to display and communicate tolerance as the most important ingredient of liberalism. Yet, the intolerance toward criticism of the appropriateness of this at the opening of the Olympics is a contradiction. - Liberalism is known for its two contradictory components: tolerance and the assumption of universalism. The contradiction becomes evident as there is very little tolerance toward dissent to progressiveness / universalism that must be embraced by all. This is why liberal societies usually have very little tolerance for dissent on issues like immigration, radical secularism, abortion and the new gender ideology. - As I write this, I realise I may already be guilty of "hate" by failing to comment on this cultural phenomenon with praise. But, if conformity and consensus about this new cultural phenomenon is formed through intolerance and intimidation, does it not prove my point? - However, I may be wrong... Culture is the root that sustains civilisation by connecting people across space and time. Maybe the world finds cosmopolitanism, unity and universalism in drag shows and sexualised smurfs.
