Declan Ganley and Malachi Steen join Eddie Hobbs to examine the interconnection between Ireland’s presidential election, recent events at Citywest involving a 10-year-old girl, and media coverage of these issues.
Expect to learn about a UCD report titled “Protecting Against Predators” that warned of child exploitation risks in Ireland, the government’s response to immigration-related crime concerns, and how media outlets are reporting on the Citywest incident. The discussion covers the role of Tusla in child protection failures, public demonstrations at Citywest, and claims of data manipulation regarding immigration statistics.
The conversation also explores the “Spoil Your Vote” campaign for Ireland’s presidential election, with Ganley and Steen arguing that voters should reject what they describe as establishment candidates who support similar policies on immigration and social issues. They outline specific methods for spoiling ballots as a form of democratic protest against current governance.
