   Newtownmountkennedy, Ireland – Thousands have taken to the streets in a   
   days-long protest against Ireland’s controversial immigration policies   
   after a brutal Gardaí crackdown left fellow citizens bloodied and pepper   
   sprayed.   
      
   The protest is now being viewed as a critical flashpoint for the Irish   
   right wing, whose dissent against migrant resettlement into places like   
   Newtown is now shared by up to 80% of the nation, according to recent   
   polls.   
      
   Heavily armored Gardaí officers first moved to shut down the peaceful   
   protest on Thursday, with clashes between police and demonstrators   
   resulting in arrests and baton strikes on young women and children.   
   According to sources, the protest was launched in resistance to a planned   
   migrant plantation, which, if finalized, would see the small   
   Newtownmountkennedy flooded with so-called “asylum-seekers” from the third   
   world.   
      
   Shocking footage uploaded to X, formerly Twitter, depicts scenes of   
   violence previously unheard of in Wicklow County, as police with helmets   
   and shields marched to batter those voicing concerns over the government’s   
   open borders policies. During the clashes, a fire broke out near the site   
   of the plantation, which was said to have delayed busloads of racial   
   foreigners currently living at a temporary camp in Dublin’s Mount Street   
   from arriving.   
      
   While the police’s actions were markedly denounced on social media, the   
   Gardaí responded by increasing protection around the site, up to and   
   including metal barricades, horse units, and water cannons the following   
   morning. Protestors went undeterred on Friday, however, with many having   
   witnessed for themselves the extent to which the “tyrannical” Irish   
   government was willing to go in order to continue the demographic   
   replacement of its own native citizens.   
      
   “A small peaceful protest is ongoing,” said citizen journalist Mick O   
   Keeffe on X, formerly Twitter. “The state has deployed Garda riot squad,   
   mounted unit, water cannons borrowed from the PSNI, and a helicopter.”   
      
   “Ireland is under totalitarian rule,” he continued.   
      
   Government escalation did not go unanswered, however. Over the weekend,   
   thousands of Irish nationalists, right-wingers, and concerned families   
   gathered in Newtown, reinforcing the protest efforts and quickly   
   outnumbering the opposition.   
      
   Carrying Irish flags and banners that read “Ireland is our homeland” and   
   “You beat us with batons, but you will not break us,” the crowds of   
   anti-plantation demonstrators would continue their marches into Sunday,   
   earning applause from local residents and shopkeepers who wanted to “take   
   their town back.”   
      
   While the nation of Ireland appeared to throw its support wholly behind   
   Newtown residents, leftists, and elected politicians were quick to lionize   
   the police response and falsely accuse protestors as “outside agitators.”   
   Ireland’s left-leaning The Journal newspaper even downplayed the topic of   
   mass migration as a mere “conspiracy theory.”   
      
   “Individuals trespassed, set fires and threw various items at Gardaí,”   
   read   
   a statement by Sinn Féin’s spokesperson on Justice, Pa Daly. “We must be   
   unequivocal in both our support for Gardaí and condemnation of criminality.   
   Violence and damage to property are totally unacceptable, as death or   
   serious injury will surely follow.”   
      
   Meanwhile, Irish Nationalists applauded the rally in Newtown. In a post to   
   its official social media pages, the newly formed Clann Éireann nationalist   
   party reminded those present that rallying in opposition to the status quo   
   was a right of all native-Irish people, regardless of the town they hailed   
   from.   
      
   “With all the outside agitators supposedly involved, you would think the   
   Gardaí would have arrested at least one person who was from outside the   
   area?” Read the statement.   
      
   “There are no outsiders at any protest anywhere in Ireland unless they’re   
   not Irish,” it continued.   
      
   Irish nationalist Keith Woods pointed to the herculean efforts that the   
   government now needed to take in order to force the unpopular sight of   
   migrants onto its citizens.   
      
   “Resistance to government plantation policies have reached the level where   
   this kind of policing is necessary to force migrants on Irish communities,”   
   he said in a post to X/Twitter. “Most Irish people want less immigration,   
   how many of them will support this kind of action by the state?”   
      
   Immigration and its woes have become a rising concern in Ireland. According   
   to a recent Amárach Research poll for the Daily Mail, a staggering 79% of   
   Irish citizens believe the number of immigrants arriving in the country is   
   too high. This figure comes against 2% who believe immigration is “too   
   low.” Of those polled, 64% say the current government “isn’t in control   
   of   
   immigration to Ireland,” while only 20% disagree.   
      
   The White-Papers Policy Institute, an organization that tracks immigration   
   data and reports its findings, has called Ireland’s current situation   
   “dire,” with new arrivals straining and “testing the patience” of the   
   Irish   
   people. Between April 2022 and April 2023, the WPPI asserts that more than   
   141,000 immigrants arrived in the Irish state, which has a population of   
   just 3.9 million ethnic Irish.   
      
   Native Irish control only 76.5% of the total population in their own   
   homeland, and if drastic political policies are not implemented to stem the   
   tide, WPPI suggests this number could lessen even further in the coming   
   decades.   
      
   Ireland’s constant battle with the negative, bloody effects of mass   
   migration policies has already produced a number of highly publicized   
   incidents of dissent. In November, an Algerian national living in Dublin   
   was arrested for a savage knife attack on a group of young children being   
   dismissed from grade school. The horrific attack sparked overnight   
   anti-immigration riots, which saw Gardaí vehicles set on fire, and   
   businesses ransacked by the city’s non-Irish residents.   
      
   In early April, a peaceful protest organized by young families against a   
   migrant plantation in Coolock was maliciously targeted by Irish “Antifa.” A   
   scuffle between the two groups—believed to be instigated by the   
   anarchists—produced a misplaced phone, which later revealed systemic   
   collusion between Antifa and numerous mainstream media journalists,   
   including Paul Connolly of Newstalk.
