So many Irish women murdered in 2026

[SmallorBigorBigorSmall]

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.

We’re going slightly off topic, but housing is a worthwhile discussion. The Irish government, as the largest commissioner of homes, are completely responsible for the unsustainable inflation in the price of housing in this country and it’s sickening, the levels of incompetence, lack of forward planning, analysis and accountability make my blood boil. They are the reason I was not able to buy a house until I was nearly 40, and my DC probably won’t be able to buy a house in this country. The country we love, we grew up in, whose native language we speak and personally advocate nationally for, whose music and traditions we champion… I could go on, but it’s just depressing.

David McWilliams did a deep dive on this that’s worth a listen. Hope this is the right episode: https://podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcast/the-david-mcwilliams-podcast/id1462649946?i=1000723462136

I agree with a lot of what you say, migration can add to a country culturally, economically, socially etc. but that’s not what’s happening in Ireland now. And the concerns and fears of people are not being listened to. The data and obvious evidence is being blatantly ignored.

There is no centre anymore… our government are predominantly far left. So where do people actually go??? If policy has become so polarised, that the current government are so left and out of touch with the concerns and wants of the people, and there is no centre, no voice of reason… then who do people vote for? What ideologies are and political persuasions are nurtured? Of course they’re going to move to the right, towards the opinions that are at least vaguely similar to their own?

It’s a terrible state of affairs, that the government alone have caused and I honestly fear there is no way back.

And sorry, but why do we need to wait for someone to commit a crime to ban them from the country? The data tells us that these people are far more likely to hurt us, so why not take precautions and ban them before they have the opportunity to hurt our people?

We don’t keep lions in our houses because we know there is an extreme likelihood that they will harm us. The data tells us this. But we keep domestic cats, because the data tells us that actually, they’re much less likely to cause serious harm.

Stupid analogy but for gods sake, why are we so afraid of data, and facing the truth and protecting ourselves and each other? Again… ‘racism’ innit?

Honestly, I’m just bloody sick of it. I’m so disheartened, and have been for a number of years but this week in particular… not a mention by our government that 6 of the 8 women murdered on our land have been killed by non Irish natives. It’s not racist to accept the data. I’m so sad for what our country has become.

Nope, I’m clearly just more aware of how statistical data is collated and managed in combination with other types of research.

I can only assume you haven’t got a degree and have never completed any serious academic research?

This might come as a complete shock to you but there are highly qualified people employed to spend all their lives analysing such data and using it to draft reports, make recommendations and advise politicians and others who then implement change.

Unfortunately, people post all sorts of drivel on social media and squawk about ‘researching stuff’ when they haven’t the first clue about how to undertake actual bona fide research and actually think Google is a research tool. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

You made the claim - I'm asking you to provide the evidence. And BTW I've seen enough delusional stuff from Chat GPT to want links rather than just a bland assertion from AI.

On the second part, again if you want to take Chat GPT's word for it I can't help you, but I can tell you that in the UK Labour Party it's pretty controversial to suggest that automatic revocation of citizenship should be standard for "serious crime". I'm assuming you weren't limiting that suggestion to people like Shamima Begum because the argument there is that they "repudiated" their British nationality by going off and trying to set up a caliphate.

As for citizenship being removed in Ireland for serious crime, I'm pretty certain that hasn't happened in living memory, and I don't know of a mainstream party proposing it. Possibly Aontu? Which would prove my point if they did.

Sorry, but I think you need to come down off your academically blinkered high horse.

That poster was pointing out that detailed statistical data on offenders is not collected and collated in Ireland. You went on to post a link to the CSO data that completely proves her point.

Where in the CSO data does it capture the country of origin, the religious belief etc of offenders? It doesn’t…and that’s the point she was making.

My profession involves academic research, data analysis, and advisory duties so let’s have an intelligent, informed debate… but don’t weigh in here trying to belittle a poster because they may not have a bloody degree. How completely obnoxious of you.

LOL does my PHD and Masters count 🤔

But why would you use quantitative data from another country when you can use qualitative data from your own? Im thinking you may need to go back to the anthropological university of life and retake a few units. A PP has used chat gtp to bring up the 8 cases qualitatively, now talk us through them. It’s quite fascinating. Women who don’t have a support network (fallen out with family, moved from somewhere else, because they too are a fairly recent immigrant), in poverty, possibly insure of what help and support is available if they need it. What a sad tale.

…or you could just continue scouring the internet for data to ‘back up’ your racism. Hey… I’ve heard Nigel Farage is looking for a job. You are slightly closer to the US so you might see a bit more of him.

It says 286 women have died since 1996. Surely that can't be right. The figure here is about 100 a year isn't it?

Assuming you mean 100 a year in the UK I think that’s fairly comparable relative to population size.

Ah, fair point. I was thinking it was 100 in England.

And there it is… the accusations of racism for presenting factual evidence. What an absolutely unintelligent bore.

I would happily produce qualitative data from my own country… but it’s not available, which is one of the points this thread has raised!

The quantitative data I’ve used, is literally the only data of its kind in the EU. No other country tracks, and makes publicly available, this sort of data.

If you have access to more qualitative data from Ireland, please share it with me and I will happily dive in and analyse it.

And what does it matter if a woman is living in poverty, doesn’t have a support network, moved from elsewhere, ‘unsure’ of the supports available… did they deserve to live less because of any of those risk factors? Did they bring their deaths on themselves???

Why don’t we ask what they were bloody well wearing while we’re at it eh?

And now it’s even more personal insults, and shamelessly speaking for dead women, when you don’t have the ability to string together a coherent, intelligent rebuttal.

It’s so sad to see 😢

I think the thing is- if lots of people keep on accusing you of being racist (you mention “the accusations of racism”) maybe you should just own it?

As for quantitive data looking at the stats higher up the post- OP - if your daughter is Irish she has a 33% chance of being killed by an Irish man, a 33% chance of being killed by two Irish women and a 33% chance of being killed by someone with no gender and no nationality. Pretty powerful data.

We have been having a very respectful discussion. The only conclusions from all of us was sadness at significant increase in murder of women living in Ireland in 2026 and that it shows the need for the more granular data recorded for those who commit murders and sexual assaults to be expanded to reflect the current Irish demographics. Data is always good. The suspects in murders to July were not "white irish" which us not racist, its a statement of fact and is concerning and dont need to apologise for discussing it.

It is logged. When the killers are convicted.

i think you’re right, it is England. I hadnt done the exact calculation but was just going by orders of magnitude. But the 100/year is also a rough estimate so I think that’s still fair enough.

But just to check: if it’s just England, it’s 56 million vs 70 million for the UK.
Ireland is 5 million. So either 11 or 14 times smaller.

100 deaths a year in England with a pop of 56 million, while the rate in Ireland is 286 for those 30 years.

(286/5x56.6)/30=107 compared to roughly 100 a year in England.

(If it had been 100 for the whole U.K. that would have been 214 over a 30 year period in Ireland.)

This is, if not meaningless data, certainly grossly misleading. Nobody’s daughter has a 33% chance of being murdered by an Irishman, never mind another 33% chance of being murdered by two Irish women - WTAF?

Also. Assuming you’re referring to the fact that one Irish woman this year was murdered by two women - that’s still the case for the past 3 decades: still only one Irish woman ever murdered by two women. You can’t cherry pick a single “black swan” event and try to calculate reliable statistics from that!

A complicit media and establishment will not countenance any questioning/stat gathering etc. that focuses on illegal immigration. No questions are asked about the rising demographic since asylum seeking became a lucrative business and a criminal act for traffickers either.

You just have to look at coverage of anything involving those with foreign identities. Shhh. Don't mention the war.

No wonder publications like Gript are vilified. They at least ask questions. But the minute you mention Gript you are targeted as a hard Right activist.

It is all sewn up isn't it?

if your daughter is Irish she has a 33% chance of being killed by an Irish man, a 33% chance of being killed by two Irish women and a 33% chance of being killed by someone with no gender and no nationality. Pretty powerful data.

Only 1% chance of not being killed? 🤔

And I'm amazed that I have a 33% chance of being killed by someone with no gender and no nationality! An extra terrestrial??

Despite the absolute nonsense extrapolation of data here, you can’t even do basic math.

8 women have been murdered - 62.5% have been allegedly murdered by non nationals/migrants/asylum seekers, 12.5% allegedly murdered by a (unconfirmed) Irish national, 12.5% allegedly murdered by an ethnic minority and 12.5% remains unsolved.

Theres approx 2.6m women in Ireland and, from the data so far this year, women in Ireland have a 0.00031% chance of being murdered.

Your reasoning ability is frankly embarrassing.

Couldn’t agree more, the media should be ashamed of themselves.

An apparent ‘man hunt’ was underway for Jamey Carney’s suspected murderer since Tuesday of this week… no image of this dangerous individual released until Friday. He could have been walking among us (even though it has since become clear he has fled to Turkey and probably onwards).

When Ashling Murphy’s partner, Ryan Casey, queried in his victim impact statement how a person could come and be given social housing, social welfare, not hold down a job of any description or make any contribution, these comments were initially censored by RTE. He also took a defamation case against the BBC, and won, as he was branded a racist, trying to incite hated, or pose as a hero to the far right…. For asking incredibly valid questions that need answering, and that have never been answered by our government.

Gillian Curran, murdered in 2025, has been reported as being murdered by Marcus “O’Neill” from Waterford…. His actual name is Marcus Diablos Nina Ua Niall Messado, he had adopted the ‘O’Neill’ name. You won’t see that reported in the media though.

I could go on, it’s just sickening…

Where are you seeing commentary online?
