Dublin was killed Saturday with demonstrators taking thousands to the streets against the mass immigration agenda imposed on Ireland by the neoliberal government.
A huge crowd carry Signs including messages such as “Ireland’s Issues”, “Ireland in Ireland for Ireland”, and “Ireland is full” were taken to the streets of the Irish capital in protests coinciding with the anniversary of the Easter Rising in 1916, marking the beginning of an armed conflict with British rule over the island.
Irish nationalist groups, like the IRA and its associated political party Sinn Féin, have run violent campaigns over decades against what was considered British colonialism, but have been relatively quiet from such groups against the disposal of Irish land, via the birth of a fifth of the country today.
The protesters were supported by UFC champion Conor McGregor. Conor McGregor has indicated that he intends to run for Ireland’s presidency later this year, indicating that immigration is a central focus.
In a message posted to X, the legend of Irish MMA stated:
“Remind us why we are here, why we are not here. We are not here to build hatred between each other. We are not here. We are here to commemorate the brave heroes who have gone before us.”
“We respect their spirits, respect their fight, and we are here today to shed light on the failure of the Irish government and its total disapproval.
“We will stand up together and win together. God bless us all and Ireland.”
The massive migration policy from Dublin has had a fundamental impact on the country over the past 20 years. Doubled Since 2006, more than 1 million people or around 20% of the entire population.
This has led to widespread social unrest and protests have frequently erupted in government efforts to establish immigrant hotels around the country. Also, a riot erupted in Dublin in 2023 after immigrants stabbed three young children.
The sudden influx of immigrants is also consistent Stagnation in wages As housing costs rise, labor supply expands, and the supply of available housing contracts expands, it further exacerbates the cost-of-living crisis faced by many Native Irish people.
According to Report From Geowox, a data company specializing in assessing residential property prices, Irish home prices rose by 9.8% over the first four months of the year compared to the same period in 2024.
The median price of Irish homes is currently 360,000 euros ($410,000), an increase of 32,000 euros from last year.
Naturally, public sentiment has been changing steadily against large-scale migration, with a study from Amarach’s study that eight in 10 voters found that migration was “too expensive.” However, there is broad irony about the prospect of reversed courses, with 61% telling voters they don’t believe the government cares about public sentiment regarding immigration.
