In recent months, I have uncovered what could be the biggest scandal in the Irish state's history.
The 2 threads below prove Ireland's asylum crisis to be a scam.
All voters in Ireland should see this.

The Green Party was the ultimate fall-guy for FF, FG and the EU.
The deposit return scheme was mandated by an EU Directive.
O’Gorman’s multilingual tweets about IPAS?
The promises were cooked up by Catherine Day, European Commssion, appointed by Varadkar.
Every time I go to those machines I hate the Green Party more. They’ve made me change my vote at the next election. I also recycle a lot less now at home.

The Deposit Return Scheme took in €127m of unclaimed deposits in its first 2 years.
It’s forecast to take in €330m by 2031.
We have no greater leverage than outright refusing to recycle.
They can end it with a stroke of a pen.

Anyone paying attention on Twitter last year and this, witnessed the Trojan efforts by @EoinLenihan to get his book 'Vandalising Ireland' into bookstores around the country, and how he interacted with individual buyers. His was a genuine 'Number 1 Bestseller' and in fact, in the book industry, that title refers to both the book and the author. So, on his eventual deathbed many years from now, Dr Eoin Lenihan will still be "Number 1 Bestseller".
What happened with Ronan Lyons book distorted the integrity of the book charts, and Nielsen have rightly revised their rankings to exclude the 85% bulk purchases.
'Vandalising Ireland' is still on sale, and just as relevant now as it was last year.
🇮🇪 Irish publishing scandal. 🇮🇪
"“Huge congratulations to Ronan Lyons on having his book Brittle top the Irish book charts as no 1 bestseller,” Daft(dot)ie wrote in a post on LinkedIn."
Property website Daft were caught with their pants down artificially boosting "Brittle" to the No.1 spot on the Irish non-fiction book charts by bulk buying 1,800 out of 1,947 copies in a week sending it to No.1 on the Irish best seller charts. Lyons has been stripped of his best seller status by Nielsen.
Importantly, as the article states, "For 20 years, Ronan Lyons has been the author of the Daft(dot)ie housing reports."
Daft boosted sales to promote their in-house housing expert and in doing so artificially manipulated the Bestseller list.
And there is a more important subtext. The cover carried a blurb from establishment whisperer David McWilliams. Lyons, the author, is a Trinity Professor who regularly appears on RTE, TodayFM, Irish Times, Matt Cooper show etc. The book was published with Atlantic Books and distributed across all major bookshops across Ireland.
Even with all of these factors, the book wouldn't have registered a ripple without Daft artificially boosting it and in doing so trying to turn it into a publishing phenomenon.
I compare this to Vandalising Ireland which went to no.1 in Ireland, hung around the top 5 in the best sellers for a couple of weeks and dominated the Irish Amazon charts in 2025. It further took several No.1 spots on US Amazon. It happened despite the national media blacking it out. It happened despite many bookshops refusing to stock it and many others begrudgingly stocking it - that is leaving it under the counter, or failing to restock once sold out. It became a hit against all the odds and against the best efforts of the national media.
And this is a major problem.
People now understand that people like Lyons and McWilliams are - to use an over-used term - controlled opposition. They are cozy insiders and lobbyists posing as truth-tellers. But of course, these people are part of the establishment and back them up by providing 'solutions' that in no way risk the economic model (demographic-shattering FDI over-reliance and EU federalisation). When FF/G mess up so spectacularly that they can't cover up their disastrous policies anymore, these are the people rolled out to deliver stern warnings, diffuse anger, give the illusion of change but ultimately, keep FF/G in power.
People are sick of being patronised. People are sick of seeing the same faces and hearing the same old arguments from people desperate to keep their seat in the D4 media bubble so it is no surprise that Lyons' book *actually* flopped.
The artificial boosting of Lyons's book is a scandal. Daft are the primary villains but they are only one of the guilty parties. The news outlets that artificially boosted his arguments are equally guilty. And of course few will find it plausible that Lyons himself had no idea of Daft's plan.
This scandal gives people a glimpse into just how tightly controlled by the D4 clique all public discourse, all media and all politics are in Ireland.

The UK government may not want to release crime data broken down by ethnicity, so I have been scraping daily court data to collect the first names and surnames of everyone appearing in court across the country.
This is day 49, and no names were scraped. Has the government finally cottoned on? 🧵

The EU’s Single-Use Plastics Directive targets require us to separately collect 77% of plastic drinks bottles by 2025 and 90% by 2029.
That’s why we have the hated Re-Turn scheme.
The folks digging through bins for bottles are state employees helping the Gov meet targets.

A Nicaraguan ex-member of a Los Angeles gang targeted Irish midlands children on social media.
Drugged them, raped them, tattooed one of them, kept one in his apartment while their parents looked for them.
And all details were omitted from the news.

The most commonly associated gang with Nicaraguans in LA is the infamous MS 13.
Was this an MS 13 member in Athlone?

How does a Nicaraguan member of an LA gang end up in Athlone?
Who knows. Cutting hair, briefly, apparently, before selling drugs.
An old story, but this is mental @Ben_Scallan

A muslim tries to kill a garda and tries to burn down a pub and gets 6.5 years jail. A fellow in the west threatens to burn down a mosque, doesn’t actually do it, and gets 9.5 years jail. Ireland 2026.

Garrett Pollock, the main actor of the Galway mosque attack terror plot (which was not carried out) got 9 years and six months for his role in the scheme. How does terrorist Abdullah Khan, who actually set a pub on fire AND stabbed a Garda get only six years and six months? Both sentences are from the Special Criminal Court within a week.

Sounds like a cut and dry ‘mental health’ case here. Hope he gets help.
Abdullah Khan said he was a supporter of ISIS and jihadism and that he attacked gardaí and set the Black Forge on fire as a message to the Government and to the pub's owner, Conor McGregor
