The scandal dogged Minister for Children, Roderic O’Gorman has ruled out dual use of the D Hotel in Drogheda for both migrant planters and tourists due to concerns the migrant men would pose to the safety of tourists’ children.
The government’s plans to convert Drogheda’s biggest hotel into a migration plantation were exposed last month to the dismay and disgust of the local citizens of the historical port town and Irish people across the country and beyond.
The idea was floated that the hotel could have a dual use as both a migrant plantation and a normal hotel but this has been scrapped as the unvetted male migrants will pose too great a threat to children who may stay at the formerly prestigious hotel.
“From a child safeguarding point of view, there are significant issues associated with either dual use option,” O’Gorman said in his letter to public representatives in Louth County Council.
The fact that the Minister for Children has expressed such concern for tourists’ children but has dismissed the concerns of locals for the safety of the local Irish children, with the planting of 500 unvetted male migrants, in their community does not surprise the jaded and outraged Irish people.
Across Ireland, communities that have resisted becoming migrant plantations have been met with heavy handed bully boy tactics from the Gardai, threats from the government and smear attacks from the establishment media.
In February the Irish Freedom Party (IFP) held a successful rally to protest the new migrant plantation where locals, including Patrice Johnson, an IFP candidate for Drogheda Rural in the upcoming local elections, spoke to a crowd of hundreds.
The concerned citizens protests fell, unsurprisingly, on deaf ears within the government, as protests across Ireland have against such plantations over the past two years, but the people of Ireland took notice and it is hoped by those opposed to the population replacement agenda, that they will deliver a message to the government in this June’s Local and European elections.
