More women murdered in Ireland between January and July 2026 than whole of 2025. Sad day for us and a worrying statistic when I think of DD. Another very violent death this week. Theres no answer but I know you all know how I feel.

......and the "poor immigrants" dont do that no? So your logic is the unfortunate immigrants need to learn from the white Irish how to domestically abuse their partners not kill themselves. Well done 🍪

No my point is that all men beat, rape and kill the women in their lives. Irish people are no strangers to DV at all and in fact, have their own reputation for it and other misdeeds around the world, often unfairly and based purely on their name and accent.

There was a time when any Irish family would be seen as scum and nobody would want their kids to get with someone Irish due to what people thought about them.

The fact that a few Irish people are now turning anti-immigrant when you werent even counted as white until recently is hilarious. People whose parents would rather die than see their child associate with.

Im not claiming white Irish men are women loving puritans. Its just your replies are deflecting by saying native Danish men are getting away with rape while poor immigrants are convicted and explaining away the surge of murders by non irish men by claiming that native Irish men are nearly murdering their partners but know when to stop.

My point again is that the data recorded about murderers and sexual crimes should expand to at least capture ethnicity and religion and let's have the data to see if there are trends and act on them.

All men from all backgrounds get away with raoe because the conviction rate of crimes like that are very low. The men most likely to get away with rape are those with significant social privilege. In Denmark, that would be native men.

You'd be more likely to be believed that a man has harmed you if that man is an immigrant.

In modern Ireland I fear the men most likely to get away with rape are Traveller men, because reporting it to the police is still seen as a betrayal of the whole community, and some men see it as a way to control women. A minority thing, but horrific for those involved.

This Scotland's stats
Behind the headline-grabbing news that homicides were at their lowest since 1976, the number of women killed – mostly by men – rose to 15 in 2024-25 from 13 the year before (up 15.8%).

8 were killed in Ireland in 2025 I think - haven't time to check stats

"Despite recent steps by the government to improved access to justice for survivors, rape in Denmark is hugely under-reported and even when women do go to the police, the chances of prosecution or conviction are very slim. Of the women who experienced rape or attempted rape in 2017 (estimates vary from 5,100 according to the Ministry of Justice to 24,000 according to a recent study), just 890 rapes were reported to the police. Of these, 535 resulted in prosecutions and only 94 in convictions."

The best place to get accurate statistics around male violence are rape crisis centres. They don't just deal with the people they had no choice but to listen to.

The other thing is if 2 people from Mars come to Earth, and one of them murders someone, then half the Martians that moved to Earth are murderers.

I don’t know where you’re pulling your stats from, can you share the link please, as there were 302 Danish citizens convicted of rape in 2017.

There were also 115 asylum seekers and foreign citizens convicted of rape in the same year.

And your weird analogy of arriving from Mars makes absolutely no sense. The figures are per head, per capita. If you need me to explain that to you let me know.

That’s your theory.

Do you have any data or actual examples to back it up?

You also seem to have switched to only talking about rape in the rather simplistic theory and are now ignoring the murders committed.

It is a bit harder to argue that Danish men get away with murder on a regular basis whereas immigrants are more likely to get convicted.

This thread is a really good example of amathia. Clearly intelligent people using their intellect to defend their worldview even when the evidence contradicts it.

That word absolutely encapsulates what we see so regularly. I’d like to know if there is a cause or an antidote as it leads people into defending such ludicrous positions and losing sight of reality. It is indeed destructive when people in authority are affected by it.

Many of the leaders of Ireland and the UK are afflicted. I can’t call them ‘our’ leaders any more as their affliction leads them to prioritise others above us at all costs - even our lives.

Thank you for teaching me a new word this morning!

Suicidal empathy is the term that’s been swimming in my head the last few days.

I will however respectfully disagree with your ‘clearly intelligent’ term being used here, I’ve seen a lot of posts from certain poster/s that demonstrate a complete lack of intelligence and critical thinking.

SmallorBigorBigorSmall · Yesterday 09:01

2 new words / expressions for me too this week @DontWantACat and for all the wrong reasons. I hadn't heard of suicidal empathy but it makes sense when I look at some behaviours. Amathia is a beautifully apt word and is represented by political class eg Ruth Coppinger etc as they only have 1 view of the world.

And how do you propose we ban all men from all those places?

Your blanket ban also exclude the Governor of our Central Bank, Gabriel Makhlouf - he's from one of the places you mentioned.

I'm not nihilistic, I'm pragmatic.

Presumably the PP means a blanket ban on unvetted men from those countries, and not that no male person could even visit as a tourist? It's about so-called asylum seekers - and I'm pretty sure Gabriel Makhlouf didn't come to Ireland that way.

OTOH, the man who tried to behead someone in Belfast arrived via Dublin and got leave to remain in the UK. It turns out nobody knows what his actual nationality is. After first saying he was Somalian, then Sudanese, now they think he "may" be from Chad.
Knife attack suspect 'may be from Chad not Sudan', say police

Thinking that this is an unacceptable lack of control over violent men arriving is the country is not an extreme opinion - and is nothing like suggesting that someone whose (properly verified) qualifications and experience make him a candidate to run the Central Bank might end up on some sort of automatic blacklist.

(Though FWIW he's actually Greek Cypriot and Armenian, so could no doubt have used one of those nationalities to circumvent any ban on Egptian nationals. And for sure his own ethnicity and upbringing are not that of the typical Egyptian, the kind that committed gang rape on Lara Logan in Tahrir Square.)

CornishDaughteroftheDawn · Yesterday 12:08

I also think we should increase our expectations of men who wish to join our society.

We should make it clear that we expect zero violent attacks, rapes or murders by men who with to benefit from our largely peaceful and law abiding society. Failure to stick to that should mean instant removal.

If men are so keen to flee violent countries and make a peaceful and productive contribution to our society, this should not be a problem. I am still wondering where all the persecuted women fleeing are.

This is exactly what I mean. The immediate answer to all men coming from these countries seeking asylum, or simply migrating for economic or other reasons, should be no.

Unless they can unequivocally prove that they are being persecuted and there is an immediate threat to life. Not just coming here and ‘saying’ they are being persecuted for their religious or political beliefs, their sexual orientation, whatever… show us demonstrable proof.

Or, if they can prove that they have valuable skillsets that the country needs, from a predefined list of skills that we are actively seeking, and they can provide all the vetting we as a country require.

Why was Jozef Puska allowed into this country? To live here for 9 years, never work a day in all that time, procreate 5 times (not to mind his family members and their children), have the tax payer fund all of this shit, to then go and brutally murder a wonderful woman, an epitome of everything wonderful about Ireland and its people. We let that man and his evil family members into the country, and paid for the ‘privilege’ of having him murder one of our own.

The man who allegedly murdered Jamey Carney this week… his Instagram was public for a long time (he has now switched to private). I watched videos of him driving at 200km an hour, holding weapons, showing off huge stacks of cash, laughing with gunfire in the background, images of naked children wearing nothing but ties…. WHY WAS HE ALLOWED TO BE HERE? No vetting of even his public social media before bringing him in? And we’re paying for this?

International Agreements will win out, despite everything people have said so well about the scandal of all this.

Time to really question such agreements on asylum seekers. Qui Bono?

I think Denmark refused to play ball and nothing happened to them EU wise anyway. Hungary was another one, well during Orban's time anyway, not sure about the new fella yet.

Countries like Ireland are very clever at hiding behind these agreements. That must change in the best interests of the country.

The Paddies always aim to be best in class so nothing will change and inward migration for all the freebies will continue yo be encouraged. The Jamie Carney murder epitomises everything thats wrong with the system. He was a refugee in an IPAS centre while travelling the world on holidays and was gone back to where he fled from in a matter of hours. How the fuck aren't the political classes calling all that out.

Cui Bono is the huge amount of suppliers making an absolute fortune out of the International Protection system in this country. I’m sure our government don’t want to rock that boat and upset the cronies.

Our IPAS accommodation bill has tripled in just 3 years -€350k in 2023 to a whopping €1.2bn in 2025. And that’s only accommodation.

And you’re completely correct @SmallorBigorBigorSmallThe Irish government are the lapdogs of the EU, to the increasing detriment of their citizens. Love to be seen as the best in class, revelling in the EU presidency at the moment.

Is it any wonder there has been such a surge of people moving further to the right when this is what they have to live with?

Regarding EU members moving here from places that have minimal social welfare benefits (maybe Romania, Bulgaria etc.), whatever happened to the three month rule? Well I'm just going from memory here, but I always thought free movement - while a given, also comes with responsibilities, i.e. you have to be able to support yourself or work, and if not within three (?) months, back you go.

Am I dreaming this? Obviously that is not monitored here either, given the level of social supports to people like the canal murderer and his clan, and I am sure many many others. So the issue of arriving here and immediately getting a PPS number and claiming is alive and well it seems. I doubt it is that easy in other EU countries.

Surely the EU should be ensuring that countries police and monitor the tenets of Free Movement, again in the best interests of the host country.

Seems our government has completely forgotten about it as well. I honestly despair.

And when it comes to PPS numbers, so far this year, we have handed out over 63,000 to foreign migrants (nearly 3 times what we’ve given to Irish nationals). The data is available in Nick Delahanty’s website that I shared earlier, and broken down by country of origin of recipient. Second highest is Romania… have you ever worked with a Romanian?

Sometimes I wonder have senior EU politicians got something serious to blackmail our politicians with. Its the only vague reason I can come up with to explain how every requirement in relation to immigration is a yes with 50% extra compliance. The €€€ just dont make sense. How can it be possible for any country to provide food and a bed for an unlimited number of migrants.

Have a listen to this podcast to hear more unexplainable logic. The government subsidises builders to build apartments. Then the government subsidises anyone and everyone to buy said apartments by paying up to 50% of the cost. Many buying them could own any number of untraceable properties abroad but are classed as first time buyers here.

The Croí Cónaithe cities scheme is in danger of missing its key target of building 5,000 new apartments.

Has the Irish building sector got themselves hooked on Government subsidies?

Moving to the right solves absolutely nothing. The right policing borders would just be exploitative.

Solutions need to come from well thought out compromises that consider the best interests of citizens at the heart of decisions are all that are necessary.

It just needs to be much better and the system needs tightening up. Migration is a good thing but it comes with significant negative consequences which need to be identified and addressed not buried under the rug.

You cannot stay in the country if you commit serious crime. Your citizenship should be automatically revoked if you commit serious crime.

I’m not going to do this for you but I put this entire post into Chat GPT with no other context and it gives good examples for your first query to help you.

It further explains that in your second query the first part is mainstream in Europe but the second would be considered far right depending on what you consider serious crime. So it is perfectly normal on terror grounds or fraud obtaining citizenship then it is also pretty typical.

Personally I’d like randomly stabbing multiple children because a social welfare payment is refused, killing a young woman going for a run by the Canal and beheading to be added to that list but maybe that needs negotiating, it might be too specific.
