Gardai are investigating after a disused equestrian centre in Kill, Co. Kildare that was earmarked to be used for the plantation of 350 Ukrainian asylum seekers in the town, was damaged in an as yet unexplained fire.
Five units of Kildare Fire Brigade fought the blaze which occurred at about 8pm in a shed beside the main building at the Kill International Equestrian Centre the Irish Times reported.
Local citizens had expressed opposition to the plantation of the foreigners in their community but as usual, their legitimate concerns were patently ignored by the local and national authorities.
However, there is indication yet that those opposed to the unwanted planting of hundreds of refugees in the community had anything to do with the blaze.
The Irish Times reported that Kill Residents Action Group spokeswoman Fiona Forkan explained that a protest carried out by the group on Sunday was peaceful. “We are doing everything the correct way to get answers,”
“There has been no communication or dialogue at all with the local community. We are not angry about bringing people in. We are not saying that we don’t want to help people out.”
Across Ireland, the government under direction from the EU is targeting small, low population Irish towns and villages for plantation of Ukranian and Third World migrants, in numbers which will fundamentally and permanently alter the characters of these communities.
