Drogheda IPAS centre attack - WTF!!!

[pontipinemum]

I had heard about the fire started and was shocked. But I have just seen the footage on the news. The man threw it up the stairs. I am actually sickened. His only intent had to be to kill the people inside.

Those poor people, they will actually be traumatised. The lady with a 3 week old and a toddler 😳all of them though.

I'm disgusted.

He threw it up the stairs and used an accelerant. He was out to murder those people and I hope they catch the bastard soon. The shite online about it being an inside job etc are outrageous. You can clearly see this fucker going into the premises and setting fire on purpose to the place (in runners cos a lot of the far righters are making a deal that he is without shoes which he is not). It is terrifying for all concerned.

It is behind horrific, those poor people, they could so easily have died. Hope they catch the scumbag quickly

God it's really awful isn't it. I can not stand actions like this. It really has changed my mind about ipas centres now .

@Livingthebestlife changed your mind in what way?

Our local centre is in a convent that had been virtually derelict for 20 + years until the asylum seekers were placed there. It's not ideal. But on the plus side it's well away from the murderous bastards. It sickens me to see them defiling our flag too. 🤮
How would other posters like to reform the cut system?

I was totally against these ipas centres, I assumed they were filled with males who were scrounging off the government and causing a rise in crime. I hadn't realised that they have women and children in them too. It's disgusting setting fire to a place where there is little children and babies. Protest, etc but setting fire trying to murder babies and children is not on.

Unfortunately that is the same belief a lot of the right spread which is why things are going the way they are. I am glad you have changed your mind and now realise that it is not now nor never has been ONLY men in IPASS and I really wish the right would stop trying to push that fact as it is not fact at all. Them poor kids honestly. There was an outcry a few weeks ago with riots etc with that poor 10 year old girl being assaulted (by a man not in the ipass centre they ironically protested outside of) so I wonder what will happen when this persons identity has been released? I am already seeing certain cohorts say its an inside job bla bla bla but honestly I am forseeing a white irish lad being named. Not that it makes a difference it is horrific full stop but I wonder now if and when an Irish national is arrested for this what will be the take on things.

Hopefully the person is caught and brought to justice. At this rate it’s only a matter of time before asylum seekers are murdered in one of these arson attacks. Things are escalating.

The majority in the IPAS centres are males. The majority of claims are currently being turned down aka economic migrants who don’t have the skills to get a visa and support themselves.
They do try keep families separate from lone males as far as I am aware. When countries such as Denmark collect ethnic background data for violent crime and rapes it’s not good reading as some groups are over represented. The Irish solution to this is don’t collect the data. Into that vacuum you of course find some will exaggerate the problem and others dismiss and minimise.

The inside job rumours are most likely bs too. What kind of idiot would believe that.

The type that are long time dole bludgers complaining about foreigners coming into our country stealing the jobs they have no intention of doing. There was a fb post about the incident the other night and the usual dopes on there saying it was one of their own did it (cos they couldnt see the guys runners and apparently he was only wearing socks which somehow proves it was an inside job) cos he wasnt happy with the accomodation and so apparently set fire to it to be moved. The fact that it is a womans only place of course has not reached their ears let alone everything else but that doesnt stop the usual thicks with spreading their racial agenda.

@Suednymph in my town (approx 1,000 people) there is talk of the hotel being converted into an IPAS centre and the rumour mill says it will be able to facilitate anything from 100 to 300 people. It is right in the middle of the town centre. It has changed hands a few times in the last 10 years and no one seems to make a good go of it.

People are wary and I think that is understandable. That hotel had been used for Ukrainian refugees, which was mainly women and children with a few older men. People were very welcoming, there were post online saying with things (clothes etc) were needed.

Someone did set up a local group about it. It was with the intention of getting understanding. But it went VERY 'right' very quickly. There are some people in the group that are ticking time bombs.

It would have been known locally that the people in the Drogheda IPAS centre were women and children, whoever did it didn't care, and was prepared to kill women and children to further their terrorising agenda.

The 'we don't want unvetted males' line is weak because there have been objections to women as well - I remember in 2019 a small number of women from Syria - I think it was about 12 - were due to be temporarily housed in Achill Island for a period of rest and recovery from the war in Syria. The locals were so angry that the women had to go elsewhere.

It is normal for emigrants to be younger men going overseas to try and set up a new life for themselves and their families.

That's how I have English and American cousins

And it is young men of military age who are being press-ganged into fighting in various conflicts, 'kill or be killed', so it's not surprising that parents would do anything they could to get their sons beyond the clutches of whatever murderous group wants to recruit them.

There are at least two IPAS centres not far from where I live, and not a bit of trouble. I know of towns and villages that rallied around to do whatever they could to make the newcomers welcome in their area. It's not inevitable that IPAS centre=trouble.

If there is is a centre full of young men, wouldn't it be great if the young men of the local area made contact, brought along a football for a kick-around, helped with English classes, and showed by example how to be respectful towards Irish women and children. Because Irish men have so much to teach foreigners about being respectful towards Irish women and children, haven't they??

So they have been named and as most knew, two of our own home grown Irish racist scumbags. They even videoed what they did to show their right wing racist families. Clever lads the pair of them and apparently a third yet to be caught.
Naturally now the right are trying to push a gangland warfare narrative because they just cannot admit or acknowledge racism. I hope the book gets thrown at this pair, they planned murder. That was their intention and I hope they get the time for it.
