Years after promise of a new integration strategy, Dublin City Council still doesn’t have one
There’s a desperate need for a roadmap to improve efforts to help people navigate immigrant life, and connect, say councillors and community workers.

This is supposed to be a complementary measure to the EU Migration and Asylum Pact, which Ireland did opt into, so I'm not surprised that they're interested in this too at all.

As a colleague noted, they have only been calling for civil unrest in response to one of these reports, the one reportedly involving an immigrant. 2/

A while ago, I was compelled to write to the editor to complain about an unambiguously false headline designed to stir hate and draw clicks. Didn't get a reply.

How some media outlets get away with stereotyping an entire group of people over and over will never stop bothering me.

Stood up by a source but thank you to the driver of the Red Line Luas I got on to get back for his very kind smile.

In a perfect world, Mirror's crime reporters would have to publicly explain why they think ethnicity of alleged perpetrators of crime is relevant to what had happened.

Staggering difference in coverage of the incident in Citywest, between RTE and Mirror.
Which do you believe?
Bearing in mind RTE downright refused to name Kitty Holland in connection with the Ryan Casey defamation settlement this summer (but Mirror did).
If this cruel old man approves of your reporting, you need to be doing a lot of soul-searching.

And it's not like rural areas get well served by this, it's never for stuff like reducing dereliction, it's always nonsense like blood sports, and letting people continue to pollute our drinking water or letting people build holiday homes everywhere. It's so frustrsting

'Doomed to fail': Case attempting to stop presidential election has been thrown out of court
The man who brought the case offered to assume the role of President of Ireland until a referendum could be held to amend the constitution.
Can folks stop being delulu now?

MetroLink is NOT expected to cost more than €20bn. It's currently expected to cost around €9bn. The €20bn figure has been debunked several times and for a national newspaper to publish it as if it's fact is incredibly damaging.
Facts matter.

Just reading an academic paper and it has this disclosure at the end, which I thought was interesting, first time I've encountered it.

A tweet from Mary Kenny reading
A reminder that Persia has a long tradition of writing.
Over a tweet that reads
This guy has been running a colored pencil shop in Tehran for 30 years. The walls are covered with thousands of pencils, and he's the only one who knows where each one is.
??????????????????

Poster for the film Ali: Fear Eats the Soul by Rainer Werner Fassbinder
Watched this 1974 film about immigration and isolation last night, and how much the anti-immigrant rhetoric shown in the film sounded exactly like what we hear today, depressed me to no end. 😔
