I wrote a thing about McGregor, Garron Noone and why we need to talk about where this nonsense is coming from.

It's almost verbatim. As if from the same playbook.

Load of shite.
Noone says "the government continually does not allow people to express their concerns" but we know that's completely false. You can say what you want.
As evident by his video, which you pointed out in your piece.
I personally feel this is a fair question.
According to the European Migration Network, immigration to Ireland increased by 5% in 2023 to April 2024.
But our crime rates don't actually match that. We're actually seeing declines in crimes over recent years.
But if you have any articles covering the topic, I'd like to check them out
Is there still an obligation?
No one cancelled Garron. He chose to remove his accounts.
People are free to speak and act, but they are not free from the consequences of their actions
If he wants to talk about immigration, that's fine, but he doesn't get a free pass to criticise everyone else - his ill-thought-out arguments will get the same scrutiny.
There are many people working to fix the problems with our country (which are not in any way down to ordinary people "gaming the system"), none of them are McGregor.
You can't reason someone out of a position that they didn't use reason to get into, and people who hold anti-immigration views are generally distrustful of government and wouldn't believe the message anyway.
Fuck the topic is so nuanced it can't be discussed in comments
Mayo folk have family all over the world
Mayo folk have heard all the anti Irish horror stories from family abroad
Fuck anybody from Mayo bitching about immigrints
Systems being abused and it’s mainly via inefficiencies in government - issues with too much procurement red tape and too little it’s pretty complex
Inefficienies exist in all systems particular in gov and for numerous reasons - no digitization, too many layer, bureaucracy etc etc
