As many Irish people themselves have pointed out; the Irish having an issue with others seeking refuge or immigrating is especially rich. Hopefully the vast majority of Ireland, whom I firmly believe to be of saner heads, will swiftly clamp down on these thugs.
Why is that rich, I mean I get why a stupid person would find it rich, but here’s the thing… the Irish are descendants of the people who didn’t leave the island, they did not get refuge elsewhere they tough it out.
“You Don’t Get to Be Racist and Irish,” “We emigrated/We immigrated/We took refuge/So cannot refuse/When it’s our time/ To return the favor.”
If you've gotten an issue with this, take it up with Imelda May. But it's a sentiment I've seen many Irish people expressing after the Dublin riots and as anti-refugee sentiment has continue to be stoked by bad actors.
