>An area has been sealed off as a crime scene outside the Citywest Hotel, which is used as accommodation for international protection applicants (IPAS). However, it is understood the child does not reside at the centre and it was unclear where the suspect has been living.

That housing vulnerable children with large groups of single males in temporary accommodation is not a good idea shouldn’t be seen as a right wing talking point.
OBVIOUSLY I don’t agree there should be rioting it’s not a good thing but people, especially authorities, should be aware if anything kicks off something like the Dublin riots again it will be an event like this.
At a minimum the hotel will be targeted. I assume there is already a high level of alert there but it wouldn’t surprise me if it’s targeted for arson. Hopefully actual deaths aren’t added to this.

A serious conversation needs to be had in this country. I have talked with a lot of poeple about this of all different ages and the majority feel the same way but are too scared to speak up for fear of being called racist.

Growing up used to have Cool Lan Party’s at that place sad its gone.

This is probably one of the most horrendous things that has happened in recent memory.
This was ENTIRELY preventable, but people just don’t want to have that conversation.
My prayers are with the poor girl and her family.
This is not the Ireland I grew up in.

Is there a seemingly more incompetently run organisation than Tusla. Anyone who does this should get life, and for it to mean life.
NothingHatesYou on
The article reports the girl was in the care of Tusla. Can only imagine the strain of working in such an organisation, particularly in light of the various headlines concerning minors in the care of Tusla of late. Hope those staffers get the support them need as well.

The state is siphoning off billions of taxpayer money to their cronies to run IPAas centres and this is the result of the ground. There must be some kind of accountability on those who set this system up

Horrendous. Just look how much this has been happening in other countries like the UK though and in Germany and the nordic countries!
We still need full details but the government need to wake up and start getting strict on asylum. Just mere days after a Ukranian boy was stabbed over 100 times by a Somalian asylum seeker too. The situation is not good!

Man who stabbed ex-girlfriend 50 times sentenced to over 15 years in prison. What about this scumbag. Should send him back to where he came from, oh wait.

It’s incidents like this that turn ordinary people’s stomachs. He was subject to a deportation order since March, people will rightly wonder why he was still in the country to begin with?

How can RTE not mention it on the 9pm news round up? People will get fed up of being treated like we’re idiots

Our immigration system is broken. And it’s been very evident for a long time this was the way. A 10 year old allegedly raped, do we have to wait until a child is raped to death before something changes? We’re fed up at this stage.
And the whole, we went to other countries and sought refuge so we can’t have an opinion against this happening in ireland is bollocks and doesn’t cut it anymore. Tell that to the family of this child.

Can someone who is against the IPAS centres explain where they want to keep asylum seekers?
Also; it’s just as well this was reported relatively late in the day – or Dublin city centre would’ve had Dublin Riots 2 – Electric Boogaloo
That poor girl
I have no words
Well, I do – I just can’t use them here

Disgusting rotten scumbag. I’m sick of this crap it’s non stop with awful news stories of refugees in this country. Still everyone ignoring it, seeing the perpetrators as victims, blaming everyone else and calling anyone who stands up to it racist.

This is shocking. How did a 10 year old girl in Tulsa’s care end up at the city west hotel? Tulsa having a very bad week.

Where and by who was this SEXUAL part added, whats the do rce for this? Did Guarda confirmed that? Original statement never mentions that.
*Gardaí have dismissed claims on social media that the incident was a fatal stabbing. Sources said that claim was without foundation.*
*In reply to queries, Garda Headquarters confirmed an investigation was under way into an alleged assault and that a suspect had been identified and detained for questioning.*
*Gardaí are investigating an alleged assault of a female juvenile reported to have occurred at Saggart, Co Dublin, on Monday,” the reply stated.*
*A male (30s) has been arrested and is currently detained under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act 1984 at a Garda station in the Dublin region. Investigations are ongoing.*
*Investigating gardaí have 24 hours to question the suspect, at the expiry of which he must been charged with an offence or released without charge.*
*The girl is being supported and was due to be interviewed by specialist Garda interviewers.*

I consider myself a progressive but there is nothing progressive or egalitarian about the current IPAS system. We need to have a serious, honest nationwide debate about immigration otherwise we are destined for the same fate as the UK with far right populist parties becoming the new normal.
