Holy Well #5 The Well of the Holy Cross, beside Gleninagh Castle. Really nice day for it 🌞
Asylum seekers pitch up opposite a 5-star hotel in the affluent south Dublin neighbourhood of Ballsbridge after being warned that tents can no longer be erected near the IPO around Mount Street.
Up to 15 men, from Afghanistan and Somalia, arrived at St Mary’s Church Park on St Mary’s Road shortly before 9pm last night on the suggestion of volunteers.
The small park is the property of St Mary’s Catholic Church on Haddington Road.
Gardaí advised they would be patrolling the area through the night. They said they did not want “the situation to escalate” and asked that the men leave the park before local primary schools opened on Friday morning.

Ballsbridge asylum seekers the top story on Newstalk.
"Obviously they were noticed by some of the residents who came down and were investigating what was going on, and quickly after that gardaí arrived, and the parish priest here that owns the little park came down to investigate, and he said they could stay here overnight as long as they were gone first thing in the morning."
Quite different to what happened when they pitched tents on Sandwith St.

Ballsbridge park unsuitable for asylum seekers.
-Labour leader and local TD Ivana Bacik.
Will Trinity students from the Dept of Sociology be down to oppose their removal or do they only do that in working class areas?

They've gone. D4SaysNO the most successful and fastest opposition campaign in Irish history! They didn't even have to make a banner.
>Some 15 homeless asylum seekers have been moved on from Ballsbridge in Dublin after setting up tents their last night.
>Ms Holland said the asylum seekers were packing up by 8am this morning and were unsure of what lay ahead.
>“They will regroup and decide where to pitch tents tonight, they’re on the move around the city to find somewhere to stay and hopefully not have to move every night.”

'House the Irish First'
'Éire will no longer be run by EU puppets'

A Somali asylum seeker who followed a woman into a toilet cubicle and tried to rape her has been jailed for five years and six months.
Mohamed Mohamud Mohamed (26) asked the woman why she was screaming during the attack, telling her “I am saying please.”
The court heard the woman screamed so much during the ninety-second attack that she lost the ability to scream or use the high-pitched register of her voice for months afterward.
An investigating garda told Cathleen Noctor SC, prosecuting, that the young woman asked to use the toilets in the bar at closing time and was told where they were.
She went into a cubicle and found the door could not be locked, so she put her phone down on the toilet roll holder and attempted to hold the door closed with her feet. She became aware someone was trying to get in and thinking it was another female, told the person it was occupied.
She then realised it was a man and demanded to know what he was doing. Mohamed entered the cubicle and closed the door behind him, as the woman attempted to pull up her pants. He put his pint glass down on top of her phone.
Mohamed grabbed her by the wrist and appeared to be masturbating, he then attempted to rape her.
He asked her why she was screaming, telling her “I am saying please.” He also told her “Please, please, I need this.”
The woman continued to try and push him away and contemplated smashing the glass at him but feared she might be seen to be in the wrong if he was bleeding.
He blocked the door with his shoulder as she tried to get out, but she managed to get her phone. He inserted his fingers in her vagina.
The woman finally managed to push him away and pull up her trousers. She ran from the toilet and alerted security but the offender had escaped.
The court heard Mohamed claimed to be from Somalia, which he had fled in 2017. He was in direct provision in Italy before being refused asylum in Germany, Italy and France. He travelled to Holland, where he got a false Swedish passport, which he destroyed while travelling to Ireland.
He applied for asylum in Ireland on his arrival in February 2022 and was placed in hotel accommodation on Townsend Street, Dublin 2, where he lived until his arrest. His asylum application has not been decided.
The judge commended the gardaí for their clever investigative work in tracking down Mohamed from till receipts. He said little was known about Mohamed, and what was known was unverifiable.

Man who followed woman to toilets and tried to rape her jailed for ‘predatory’ actions
A man has been jailed for his “predatory” actions in following a woman to the isolated toilets of a bar at closing time and attempting to rape her.
Reminder: Like Eritreans (pictured), Somalis are expedited through the Irish asylum system because nearly 100% of them are granted refugee status and Somalia is considered too dangerous for Somalis to be returned to.
This is what they call a "rules-based immigration system".

"The only answer is vote the bastards out in the next election."
A garda who has been stationed in Newtownmountkennedy to block protesters from accessing the asylum seeker camp, sympathises with protesters and says he's not happy being there as he's just pissing normal people off, but would get sacked if he refused his orders.
He also says about half the asylum seekers in the camp have already gone back to Dublin.
