Love the celebratory tone of citizenship ceremonies and the Department of Justice sharing profiles below to humanise the process - we must protect our approach to and celebration of citizenship in Ireland. Well done to all recipients and Department of Justice 🇮🇪 and Minister Helen McEntee TD 🇮🇪

Starmer is in Italy to learn from their far right leader Meloni how a reduction in small boat arrivals was achieved. He could have saved the trip. This is how: an expensive deal with a dictatorship to round up migrants & leave them for dead. #r4today aljazeera.com/program/newsfe…

The same applies to right wing/anti-immigrant voices here - convince the populace that there is a 'crisis', an 'invasion' and use hate, fear and divisiveness to gain ground. That playbook is old, and now supercharged by social media. It isnt reality, it is a tactic.

Congrats to Irish Human Rights & Equality Commission on another excellent report and launch - was great to be able to join online. This issue persists, and times of chaos and uncertainty globally and restricted supports nationally exacerbate it. Renewed onus on our all working together to support survivors.

One in 10 candidates from migrant backgrounds didn't canvas during the the local elections for fear of violence and harassment, a new report says. Read here: jrnl.ie/6491756t

Elon Musk is quoting and co-signing Great Replacement Theory, a white nationalist and far-right conspiracy theory that falsely claims there’s a deliberate plot to replace white populations in majority white countries with non-white immigrants, to his 198 million followers.

Watching this, am noting frequent claims by protesters that immigrants present an exceptional threat to women. My experience from covering domestic violence courts is that Irish men bear heavy responsibility for violence towards women here.

In June we've celebrated the 100% increase of elected local councillors of a migrant background but the reality is those candidates have 62% less chances to be elected. Why? Read about it in this article or the full report. Link below Immigrant Council.ie irishexaminer.com/news/politics/…

Looks like Elon Musk — at least 60 times — amplified content from Tenet Media, the now-defunct Tennessee-based right-wing media outlet funded covertly by Russia Today. nbcnews.com/tech/social-me…

Fact: Asylum seekers do not have access to emergency homeless services. Fact: Asylum seekers do not have access to social housing. Fact: Asylum seekers are not the reason why we have record homelessness. Stick to the facts, not the dog whistle.
