The recent Dublin knife attack has sparked a debate about immigration in Ireland. Some believe that the elites are maintaining a conspiracy of silence and are reluctant to discuss immigration, fearing an eruption of anti-immigrant prejudice. This has led to concerns about housing, safety, and the impact of hate-crime laws on freedom of speech. The media and politicians are accused of ignoring public concerns and treating them like fools. Far-right communities have been fueling anti-immigrant sentiments, and an international alliance between far-right American and Irish influencers is growing. The debate has intensified following the riots in Dublin, with some arguing that the country is experiencing a population replacement similar to London.

It seems inner Dublin is going through population replacement, in the same way as London. People who criticise mass immigration according to Senator Dr @TomClonan are "Far Right’ - Racist, Misogynist Fascists". Cc @1ofWesternkind https://t.co/S013bHy2J1

Ireland’s own far-right community has been fueling anti-immigrant sentiments for years. And following last week's riots in Dublin, an international alliance between far-right, anti-immigration American and Irish influencers continues to grow. https://t.co/bVCg09vone
Ashling Murphy was a young Irish woman who was attacked and killed by Slovak migrant Jozef Puška. Irish Times "journalist" argues the media were right to not publish the impact statement made by Murphy's boyfriend because it would've incited hatred. https://t.co/iK0FMo8Bgn

Ireland's media and politicians are terrified of discussing immigration. They ignore people's concerns about everything from housing to safety. They would rather silence people through new hate-crime laws than ever have to listen to them, says Ella Whelan https://t.co/wJr9ME1e3Q
Ireland has long considered itself immune to the worst excesses of national populism but the current levels of immigration, combined with the profound housing crisis, mean the country has become a tinderbox. @finn_mcredmond reports ⬇️ https://t.co/UQvmFnMFMQ
Ireland's elites have maintained a conspiracy of silence since the Dublin knife attack. They worry that talking about the perpetrator might provoke an eruption of anti-immigrant prejudice. All this exposes is their low view of the public, says Ella Whelan https://t.co/wJr9ME1e3Q
