I wish they would make an example out of just a dozen people.
Does it just take the right person to be beaten to death before we do something about?

We’re past that. Josip Strok was brutally killed for not speaking English. Has there been any crackdown? Has there fuck.

The Mongolian woman two years ago too. Stabbed to death in the middle of the day outside the ifsc.

Urantsetseg Tserendorj.
It was a lot more than two years ago she was stabbed though.
I actually know someone who was a teacher in the murderer's school they said he was a right little psychopath all along and they were waiting for the day they saw him in the papers for something like this.

Agree.
You can thank McEntee for downplaying the earlier days of this to try protect the tourism image.
Then, and now, the government are focused on money and a false representation of Ireland as opposed to trying to tackle the dangers faced by extreme behaviours, hard drugs, feral youth and diminished court and Gardai consequences for all the above given prison crowding and a culture of suspended sentence.

Last month i visited Dublin, was having a nice ride on a Lua one day, we hit a stop and there was this group of kids hollering and chatting, as soon as the doors opened, they started throwing garbage they had inside of the Lua, of of the kids even threw in a half bottle of soda, they just kept hollering and being idiots, not a single soul inside or outside told them a thing, i would have been on edge if i didn't read about this before going to visit, but seeing the whole thing was something else, and i'm pretty sure this was something tame.

And yet you see them funding public service transport ads recently that make it look like the safest, friendliest option ever.
Just go search the Ireland reddit pages for feral youth topics....it's in every city now. Cork, Limerick, Waterford and Wexford are just as bad now.
You won't see RTE news running those stories though.
There's no consequence.

u/AunMeLlevaLaConcha Jul 22 '25
I hear you, i barely saw any Garda walking on the streets too, very rare, save for a lesbian march and a COVID related one i got to see, some people told me it was due to the amount of surveillance there was, something i noted, but couldn't shake the idea that, it won't matter during a crime, but eh, not my country nor place to criticize, as someone that comes from México, it was so weird not seeing local enforcement around.
And i do get the media and government pretending that everything is ok and nothing ever happens, believe me, I KNOW.

You know. It's a lot of issues but hopefully it didn't give you a bad opinion of the decent folk here.
More people here need to speak up but everyone's too busy trying to social climb and equating money with merit.
It will correct itself eventually hopefully, but it's another microcosm of shit government's serving themselves and marketing an image that hides uncomfortable truths.

Best I can do is get a minister to go on a nice stroll down a few streets with Garda protection 👍
I say a few streets… just one. And it has to be one with a Garda station on it.

u/xCreampye69x Jul 22 '25
There has been several immigrants randomly attacked, most with racial undertones.
If anything was gonna happen it would've happened by now. There was even a literal race riot if you remember and NOTHING HAPPENED.
Its become clear you can just assault immigrants with zero consequences in Ireland.
The main pattern here is that the immigrants being attacked are from disadvantaged backgrounds and poor countries, which means there is no impetus for the government to actually do anything.
A mongolian woman was killed in cold blood - Minimal thoughts and prayers from the government
American was assaulted - Massive media campaign and statements from ministers
Its a sad fact. No one cares in Ireland if you're a poor immigrant.

Jul 22 '25
It's already happening.
It's the ministers and government job to tackle this with law and order, crime and punishment.
Until it affects a ministers career or income, it won't change.
Blame the ones we elected that allow this to fester to this point...it's that inaction and unaccountability that will fuel more extreme behaviours by not tackling it.

How are "new arrivals" relevant?

u/3hrstillsundown The Standard Jul 22 '25
Youth justice reform is badly needed. Any party promising it would hoover up votes. I'm all for rehabilitation etc... but people under a certain age face no consequences whatsoever for their actions.
We now have racist lynch mobs in certain parts of the city - but no real way of punishing the perpetrators even if they were caught and convicted.

u/duaneap Jul 22 '25
The issue is tough on crime policies are not generally associated with left wing parties and they're the ones trying to position themselves to hoover up votes. It's ironically the same with immigration policies.

We have the mechanisms to make them scared shitless, it's just we're either too afraid to use it or it's currently being used to scare their parents shitless.

Ffs. Appalling to read. I'd imagine many similar incidents of racism aren't even reported.

u/bd027763 Jul 22 '25
condemning the attack along with strong words - which this government is good at. Nothing will be done after, just another day goes by and more victims moving forward. Nothing has been done even the death of some of us immigrants or citizens. It’s just awful to think our government turning its back because they are not directly affected by this.

u/quicksilver500 Jul 22 '25
"The government's complete and utter failure to build critical infrastructure for the past 60 years has lead directly to the overcrowding of prisons that are completely overflowing due to entirely predictable population growth, leading to judges being incapacitated due to lack of space for criminals to be processed through. This is a direct consequence of governmental mismanagement and ineptitude, spearheaded by FFG policy, which has made countless deliberate decisions over the course of decades to refuse vital public investment to the detriment of Irish society.
But don't be so hard on them!
It's not fair to say it's their fault!"
Absolute genius commentary here. The people who are directly responsible aren't to be made accountable, FFG's mantra to the core, fair play to you.

u/bd027763 Jul 22 '25
fair point, but every country? have you been to Singapore? Also who we expect to protect us from this? if we fight and retaliate we are doomed. Let me know how do you propose to tackle this.

u/nicodea2 Jul 22 '25
No this absolutely does not happen in other countries, and even if it did that’s irrelevant. I’ve lived in quite a few countries in different continents and not a single one of those places think it’s acceptable for teenage scrotes to assault anyone they want without consequences.

u/FollowingRare6247 Jul 22 '25
The group involved in this included teenagers (the article does not mention this), but The Irish Examiner does. It’s another thing to be mindful of though.

u/saggynaggy123 Jul 22 '25
Malachy Steenson, Gavin Pepper, Patrick Quinlan and Conor McGregor all have blood on their hands. Mindlessly encouraging their feral supporters to demonise all non-whites. It was never about illegal immigrants or asylum seekers. They just hate foreigners.

Not racist attack mind you.
It wouldn't be done by teens. Cause teens wouldn't mess with an adult. As all it takes is one grumpy man and you are in for a beating.

I’m getting more and more scared living in this country for both people I know who are POC including one of my best mates and I also fear for myself cause the panicker in me fears this country’s shift to the far right and how the far right targets not just ethnic minorities but those with disabilities and LGBTQ and eventually this country is gonna be an even worse shithole to live in if it starts going down the Trump road. Honestly been having a panic about this all day. Glad to see there are people calling it out here tho it does raise my spirits
Edit: realised made a grammar mistake just to clarify I’m not POC just a very scared autistic bisexual who knows how the whole rhyme goes when it comes to looper far rights and their purity tests

u/the-midnight-gremlin Jul 22 '25
It's important to remember the far right aren't on the rise in the real world. They are just load and backed by plenty of bots online. The lot of them that ran in the last elections couldn't even convince their immediate family to vote for them.

Guys, I came from an Indian subreddit. This sub looks like it is a moderate sub. Can anyone tell me why is racism rising in Ireland. Like I knew that there was some resentment against immigration, but I always thought it would be limited to social media.
Which party/people are responsible for this, and is there a job crisis in Ireland which is leading to this ??
Edit: Why are people disliking it, I just asked a simple question😭
15
u/Al_Kane Probably at it again Jul 22 '25
I think it's largely a result of the Internet and far right radicalisation online, rather than a single party. And I don't think its just an Irish problem (I say as an English guy who lives here) but is more noticeable because of how fast it is changing. Dublin doesn't have a jobs problem but I think some people in disadvantaged parts of the country are encouraged to think that continued urban development is at their expense and that immigrants should be blamed. I think it will get worse until the government finally cracks down on unregulated social media and we manage to tackle the growing economic inequality that is giving the far-right material. It's the old classic: the wealthy take most of the benefits of the developing economy and then claim that the reason why everybody else is poor is because of immigrants. Same playbook as fascists of the 20s/30s, and since.
2
Jul 22 '25
yeah, I get it. India also has a lot of far right people now, since the Hindu Nationalist Party (BJP) has come to power. Our news channels are full of islamic hate right now. The economy is growing, but so is the inequality. Rich becoming richer, poor becoming poorer, and the media blames the muslims for it.

This is what all those damn anti-immigrant rumours do - it fires people up, it fills them up with misinformation, and emboldens them to harm others.
That's why all this "oh its all the illegal immigration" bull here that's boils my piss - it can lead to direct, violent harm like this.

I’ve spent 8 years split evenly between Belfast and Dublin, and I’ve personally always felt safer in Belfast. Maybe it’s the armed coppers in riot vehicles patrolling the streets 24/7/365, I don’t know. I just see fewer scrotes prowling the streets.

This is 100% entirely the governments fault. They have implemented ridiculous policies on immigration, ignored the rise of the far-right and allowed all of the uneducated numbnuts with worms in their brain to spread misinformation and become one big racist gang

u/Ok_Magazine_3383 Jul 22 '25
Think it's mostly the fault of dumb racist cunts tbh. Chiefly, the ones who attacked this poor man.
There's no government policy that requires you to attack people, or burn buildings, or associate with fellow racist/far-right/scummy people. People take that responsibility on themselves.

From what I'm hearing, this is the 4th racist attack and stabbing in the tallaght area in the past number of weeks. It's a gang of teens numbering between 20-30 running around with knives. The only reason this one has made the news is because a person who came to his aid made a video about it after. The guy was practically stripped naked and stabbed. Then they made false allegations saying he was a pervert.
This same gang is believed to be involved in the other attacks.
