The Countess - Womens rights group in Ireland - Report on Immigration Effects on Women & Girls

Irish people are being forced to accept policy that transgresses fundamental boundaries and treats nature, identity, culture, family, and nationality as negotiable when in fact, the family unit, community, and inherited culture are the scaffolding of a stable society. We at The Countess are unafraid of analysing policy through the lens of womens’ rights and child safeguarding.

Report: Through a Safeguarding lens, darkly: a thematic report into the International Protection Provision in Ireland

The report has identified significant shifts in the nature of sexual violence across Europe, highlighting emergent trends in opportunistic street attacks and group-based sexual assaults. The findings raise urgent questions for Irish policymakers as the State continues to accommodate over 33,000 individuals in the International Protection system without screening them against European Crime databases.

Drawing on official statistics from multiple EU member states including Austria, Germany, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Italy, and France, the report outlines clear evidence that foreign-born individuals are over-represented in sexual offence data, often by a factor of three to four, with even higher rates in specific subcategories such as gang rape.

Sounds like a brilliant piece of work. And I suddenly feel as though I now need to think more deeply/critically about news coverage which portrays those protesting about immigration hotels as right wing racists… all sounding awfully familiar…

Does anyone know if UK immigration stats are disaggregated to allow a similar comparison?

There's nothing wrong with men and women in the same restrooms or changing rooms. It's been existing longer than segregated restrooms. Kids also run away crying from deformed/disabled people

There's nothing wrong with men and women in the same restrooms or changing rooms. It's been existing longer than segregated restrooms.

Claim with no basis in fact.

And this clearly shows no cultural understanding of the snug🍻 or the ½pint.

Is Donald Trump a sexual predator just because some people say he is?

Gridania you seem to have a serious case of the Not my Nigels that has taken over your life, Please feel free to start your own thread about this. If your Nigel is actually Donald Trump then you will get a lot of interest. If you want a serious answer then of course there will be mistaken convictions and accusations of rape and other sex offences. Studies show (and statistics show) that, compared to the offences that do not result in a conviction, these are vanishingly rare. (Hypothesis one rather than hypothesis two).

But you wouldn't even want the data to be collected, let alone published.
I'm a reasonable man, I'm happy to meet half way. For every Brazilian who at most might snatch my mobile phone or steal my car, I'll bar entry other than for the most vigorous of vetting and ability to instantly deport, Afghans, Iraqis and Eritreans, who are more likely to sexually assault or rape my wife or daughter, any female citizen, and also me (since you seem to believe I have no interest in homosexual rape).
I'm very reluctant to admit large numbers of people from nations where the culture is rapey, and the respect for women and children would shame pre-Middle Ages Britain.

There is also the filp of if the person from that country is highly likely to be sex trafficked or human trafficked into the State by native or other nationals.

You can't actually know that when you don't know if someone is even guilty of what they were accused of in the first place. I don't assume guilt about anything if I wasn;t there, because I can't know. And people are wrongly accused of crimes all the time.

You have misunderstood the statistics. What they show is, that of all rapes reported to the police less than 3% result in convictions - this figure is for England and Wales and has held true for some years. It does not show how many men who were the subject of these reports were guilty or innocent, nor how many of the convictions were just or unjust. It compares police reports with convictions. Not all rapes are reported to the police.

There have also been studies of how often women falsely accuse men of rape and these suggest that such accusations are also in the low single figures. If this is accurate (and it may not be, it is a very difficult topic to research for fairly obvious reasons) then we have a frighteningly large number of rapes that do not result in convictions.

In kindness, I don't think you are well and suggest you step away from this thread for your own peace of mind.

Not really. Bringing up abortion got you to admit that you don't have a problem with authoritarian governments banning people for having views they find offensive. Which makes you sound nuts, or maybe just a contrary troll.

No, that really is the wrong conclusion, I really can't help you further.

I'm not all saying this area is black and white, it's hugely complex. It's just made even more complex by the deliberate lack of data collection and publication until very recently.

I guess you missed the Grok info that debunked your claims about women in Ireland having to marry rapists?

You clearly missed the fact that I did not claim that was happening today.

If you had any idea of the culture of the country you are trying to pontificate about you would not dare to claim that Women in Ireland did not have to marry their Rapists.

That you rely on a bot ......

FallenSloppyDead2 · 24/01/2026 19:41

I can thoroughly recommend listening to the whole podcast posted by the OP. Some of the statistics are shocking.

Laoise de Brún asks, where does your empathy land? Is it with people seeking asylum or with the working class people in whose community they are foisted? Her empathy has shifted from the former to the latter.

I do see a similarity between immigration policies in Western countries and Gender policies. Imposition by a cultural elite with no debate and, seemingly, no plan. Threats to boundaries. Threats in particular to women and children. Working class populations bearing the brunt of negative effects while the cultural elite reap any benefits. Cries of 'transphobia' or 'racism' to stifle genuine concerns

Gridania · 24/01/2026 18:12

You can;t stop crime. It's not gonna happen. You can only do what's realistically possible, without imposing on people's rights. But there was someone in here earlier lying by claiming women are forced to marry pedos in Ireland by law, so I don't know how truthful people are being about it.

You cant read what was typed Marry and Companionship are not the same words.

FYI

Individuals who are not citizens of Ireland have no rights to enter Ireland. Irish law creates rules which allow non-citizens to enter and stay by premission.

I think these articles discuss some of the ideas that my personal reevaluation of the immigration issue has involved.

I’ve gone from being extremely enthusiastic about it to being highly critical of it on grounds of class politics and feminist concerns:

Insults absolutely don't mean proving yourself wrong, it can simply mean finding authoritarian nutcases annoying.

"If Ireland lets 100,000 males in from each country the likelyhood is that of the 200,000 males let in 11 are sex offenders." The world doesn't, and shouldn't operate on telling other people what to do under the guise of harm reduction. That's what authoritarianism is. You're acting as though you're debunking my claim that you think it's okay to prevent people from travel based on where they're from, only to then defend exactly that just because an increase in human population will likely include some bad people. The difference is, that convicted criminals are the ones who's rights can rightfully be restricted. Deporting people based on where they're from, despite not actually committing a crime, is wrong. Always will be.

If you think it's okay to mass kill unborn babies, including for bigoted reasons, then your voting is actively harmful.

You falling into petty insults because you realise that you have proved you own position to be fundementally flawed is not helping your case.

Ireland has multiple laws based on harm reduction and multiple laws telling people what to do and what not to do

Ireland actively deports people who have not engaged in criminal acts within the State based solely on where they are from.

If you had an understanding of the laws of Ireland you would not be making rash statements about who in your ill informed opinions should matter more that the people who live in Ireland.

Repeating the same thing over and over doesn't make you right. You have the same rights all people have.

When you dont understand the question please try asking why you dont understand the question.

Some people, including in this thread, are literally saying that they want people banned entry based on where they come from. That is assumption of guilt and penalizing based on that assumption, not any actual wrongdoing. Simpleton.

Falling into petty insults because you realise that you have proved you own position to be fundementally flawed is not helping your case.

But it is clearly shows you being you.

What others have said is not my responsibility. So not sure what your point has to do with anything on this sub-thread

The claims that women have no rights in Ireland is an actual example of not understanding law.

Who other than you claimed that?

I have clearly pointed out that women have rights which can be lost.

Others have clearly pointed out that women as a sex class no longer have shared rights.

Hmmmm, someone is exaggerating.

How many men in Ireland have been sacked when they tell their boss they are going to be a parent?

And what legislation could he use in Ireland to sue his employer?

You should just admit you dont know if you dont know.

AnSolas · 24/01/2026 20:42

Gridania · 24/01/2026 19:01

You've already lied about law yourself trying to present women getting fired for coming parenthood as some sort of standard.

You have no idea of irish law.

Yes women in Ireland are still fired after her employer finds out.

I asked :

It's thought policing when you assume that individual/groups of people from harsh countries are criminals themselves or that it's okay to penalize them based on that assumption. That's literally not how it works. None of that is remotely the same as "Recognising that there are countries or cultures which do not recognise the criminal element of sexual acts is not thought policing."

Then there were people in this thread going so far as to say it's fine for countries to ban offensive thought.

Thank you for sharing your definition of thought policing.
