Ezra Levant is currently in Ireland for two critical events.
First, an important censorship trial has commenced in Bray, where Kirk Loco faces prosecution under Ireland’s so-called fake news law. However, what he published was not fabricated—it was a genuine warning about a perceived public safety threat: a migrant man harassing teenage girls on a public bus. We are reporting on the trial and crowdfunding Kirk’s legal expenses.
The next day could be momentous as two special by-elections for Ireland’s Dáil (parliament) take place. By-elections are often used to protest the current government, and with Ireland’s high-tax policies and mass immigration program fueling public discontent, voters have ample cause for protest.
In Dublin, one candidate to watch is Malachy Steenson, an independent Dublin City councillor who has been a vocal critic of mass immigration.
However, the focus has shifted to Galway West. This constituency will fill the seat vacated by socialist Catherine Connolly, who was elected president in a previous election. There, a dark horse candidate named Noel Thomas is running as an independent. Thomas was expelled from Fianna Fáil for criticizing Ireland’s mass immigration policies and later joined grassroots farmers and truckers protesting against high fuel taxes.
Will Galwegians send a message by electing a grassroots dissenter like Thomas—in the former seat of the president? The outcome will be very interesting.
