Dear Reader,
A cuppa is needed first.🤷♀️
Some history of Ireland and the Countess ...
https://thecountess.ie/about-us/
In 2014 a woman named Vicky Phelan was told she had advanced cervical cancer which earlier screening missed it was not until 2017 she found out that the error had been discovered but she had not been told.
She ended up suing and when offered a settlement with non-disclosure agreement but refused to sign it.
Her Court case (2017/2018) was reported nationally and other women were found to be in the same situation and were being forced into court by the HSE to prove their tests failed to detect their cancer.
https://221plus.ie/about-us/read-vickys-story/
By 2019 the public health scandal :
• the testing had a known (possible) preventable error and
• the HSE knew and made a choice not to directly inform the women (or family who survived her) whom they knew were mistested and
• the HSE were forcing dying women to launch Court cases
has forced the State to set up a public inquiry and allow women or her family to get an official finding without going to Court.
By late 2019 the TRAs (a TIF¹ claimed "leadership") wanted to be modern and "inclusive¹" and had sucessfully lobbied the HSE (Irish NHS) remove the word "woman" and replace it with “anyone with a cervix” in what is a woman only test for a woman only cancer.
¹ programme accessible and inclusive of everyone in the population
If the TIF had obtained a GRC she will have as a condition of issue agreed that the State would fully and only recognise her as a man. If so the HSE can not engage with her as a possible user of the programme and could not lawfully provide a Crevical Cancer test.
The HSE defended the removal of "woman" and the replacement by "a person with a (sometimes homicidal) body part:

Responding to the complaint, the HSE’s cervical cancer information service said it aimed to make the programme accessible and inclusive of everyone in the population
[ Dear Reader there are no penis checking processes only TIFs or NBtifs who may choose to ] ^
and to reduce health inequalities where possible.
......
It pointed to a recent example of “language revision” during the mychild.ie_ campaign, when “your child²”_
[ note Dear Reader a child]^
and “they”
[ note Dear Reader the correct english term for a child of unknown sex ] ^
were used in place of “he” or “she” in communications.

² the choice of "child" is so ironic and tone deaf.
The HSE decided not to inform Vicky nor the other women where there was known proven error. The HSE knew there were indications of Cervical Cancer and as a policy wrote to GPs asking them to choose if a women should be give information about her body.
Why not be inclusive and remove "woman" from a healthcare?
Be inclusive and remove "woman" from a healthcare which involves the removal of the cervix and radical hysterectomy?
"Where is the organisational learning the obligation to use plain clear English and Irish in healthcare ?"
asked women and so began The Countess public advocacy.
https://www.irishstatutebook.ie/eli/2019/act/31/enacted/en/html
To make the 2019 Tribunal Act "accessible and inclusive of everyone in the population" would “anyone with a cervix” be an appropiate usage to replace the word "woman^"?
Or could that lead to some who qualify as "women" fail to qualify as a "body with a specific required body part"?

Why were and are the Irish TRA not lobbying politicians to include women who choose to renounce her rights in healthcare and other legislation she excludes herself from?
Well they are.
TRA and allies are working to remove the word "woman" and replace it with a body part or a woman only body function.
Want period products funded by the State?
Be a bleeding woman person
Could it be that adding "men with a GRC" places a spotlight on the fundemental flaw that is the legal fiction that a human can change sex and that her cervix and her risk of cervical cancer remains the same?
Anyway .....
Specific to the topic of non-nationals involved in crime its clear data is being collected around criminal activity and that is being used to deport people
https://www.breakingnews.ie/ireland/gardai-deport-33-eu-nationals-to-poland-and-lithuania-1857602.html
The operation was carried out by the Garda National Immigration Bureau and saw 20 of the deportees brought to the flight directly from the prisons where they were serving sentences.
Gardaí say the remaining 13 were “arrested and detained from communities across Ireland and were lodged in prison prior to their removal”.
Their convictions included sexual and domestic violence offences, drug crimes, organised retail and burglary crime and road traffic offences.
And

The costs for the provision of the aircraft for this operation are €122,000 for a return flight.
Announcing the removal of the EU citizens, O’Callaghan said: “Restricting the right to freedom of movement is not a measure I take lightly, but there must be consequences if a person’s behaviour means they should no longer be entitled to access this privilege.
“I will take action if our laws are not upheld and this includes enforcing removal orders for individuals who are a danger to society and to the people of Ireland.
