The Spin

Left narrative

Right-wing populists are exploiting a tragic incident to fuel anti-immigrant hatred and violence across Dublin. These extremist groups deliberately instrumentalize migration issues to scapegoat vulnerable asylum seekers and create manufactured crises. The real threat comes from violent rioters throwing bricks at police and terrorizing communities, not from people seeking safety and protection in Ireland.

Right narrative

Ireland's broken asylum system has created a dangerous nightmare where unvetted migrants commit horrific crimes against children. A man awaiting deportation since March allegedly sexually assaulted a 10-year-old Irish girl, proving the government's reckless policies put innocent lives at risk. The state houses dangerous criminals in hotels while ignoring community safety concerns and attacking anyone who dares speak out about this preventable tragedy.
