Protesters block bus carrying refugees in Mullingar

  1. My daughter’s TY had a group of Ukrainian women in today. Kids were helping them learn conversational English for a few weeks.

    Everyone had to bake something and bring in to have with a cuppa, so my daughter baked brownies.

    Now lads, I’m not anti immigration, BUT, this lot coming over here, and takin my brownies. It’s not on like.

  2. Don’t those “protestors” have anything better to protest about? Refugees don’t want to leave their countries of origin.

    Is it possible to trade anti-refugee protestors for refugees? I’m sure the anti-refugee protestors could use a holiday. It’d help them deal with their anger.

  3. Are the people on the bus asylum seekers, refugees or Ukraine ?

    The article only mentions refugees and asylum seekers.

  4. On another note, 8 people to a tent?

    Are they big tents? Do they heat the tents or is a bunch of people from much warmer climates freezing their arrest off In mullingar?

    If that’s the case I also appose them being there because they deserve better.

  5. Much in the way of volunteering opportunities in support of the refugees available? Disgusted at the reception they’ve gotten

  6. Protesters: “They’re taking tents meant for irish people”
    Council: “OK we’ll put irish people in those tents”
    Protesters: “Now hold on….”

  7. Wonder how many actually live in Mullingar ? As always it’s the same group of gobshites travelling the country pretending to be doing us favours as they see themselves as ‘’ patriots’’ saving the country

  8. These protesters must not have a job so. Complaining about refugees fleeing desperate situations and probably never worked a day in their lives.

  9. This is sad, irish immigrants had this kind of racism and abuse thrown at them for *years*, the hypocrisy and lack of empathy of these “Irish” people to complain about refugees and asylum seekers, it’s honestly sad and pathetic they need to get a life

  10. They would rather protest anti immigration that the fucking housing crises? That’s not very smart
