ER Editor: The Irish Times report below is MSM. Because, you know, anybody who doesn’t want massive amounts of state-supported strangers in their midst is ‘far right’. It would appear that the property set on fire late at night – by whom? – had already been purchased by an American person or group. Which would then be used to house 70+ asylum seekers. Looks like a foreign owner coming in to bilk the Irish taxpayer on the surface, giving locals something against their interest. Applying the cui bono principle, there are a few who would benefit from this fire.

The Irish have been rightly complaining about having overseas males dumped into their communities. See Ireland is full on this site and Ireland is full on Twitter/X.

Interesting.
The Ross Lake House Hotel that went on fire last night was recently bought by wealthy Americans.
Texans moving to Ireland, buying up property and renting it back to the Irish government to fill with foreigners.
Not cool yanks. Not cool.

Some much-needed satire from Katie Hopkins —

The Irish should be ASHAMED of allegedly setting these fires in hotels for poor illegals

Most people are more concerned by the fact that this government provide accommodation, food and cash to illegal immigrants. Irish people are forced to pay with this through taxes, higher crime, lower amenities and higher house prices. https://t.co/cMQr9xATzH

Galway hotel fire: Gardaí believe blaze at premises due to house 70 asylum seekers started deliberately
Ross Lake House Hotel in Rosscahill had been named by the Department of Integration as an accommodation centre
CONOR LALLY for THE IRISH TIMES
Video footage of the fire emerged in the early hours of Sunday, with those images heavily shared across social media, including via accounts linked to previous far-right rhetoric and events.
A local protest had begun at the disused hotel in Rosscahill, a remote area between Moycullen and Oughterard, in recent days when a portacabin was placed across the entrance, blocking it. A group of people also maintained a presence outside, keeping warm by lighting fires in steel drums.
That blockade was aimed at frustrating the preparation of the hotel for 70 asylum seekers, with some those involved saying the protest would remain in place for as long as required.
However, at about 11.30pm on Saturday the alarm was raised when a blaze was spotted at the property, with the fire having already caused extensive damage to the building by the time gardaí and fire-fighters arrived.
The Ross Lake House Hotel had been purchased by US owners and they had planned to renovate and restore the building, under the original name of Killaguile House. It was not clear if they still owned the property when an agreement was reached for it to be used to accommodate IP applicants.
The Americans who purchased the building had not replied to a request for comment from The Irish Times on Sunday.
Last Friday, the Department of Integration confirmed a one-year agreement had been entered into for the housing of 70 IP applicants.
Last month, heavy plant machinery was destroyed in an arson attack in Co Wexford as works were under way to ready the Great Southern Hotel, Rosslare, for asylum-seeker accommodation.
Also last month, during the riots in central Dublin, a petrol bomb was thrown through the front of a premises in Finglas, Dublin, earmarked for refugees. It was the second time this year the centre had been attacked. On the same night, the front windows of Dublin City Dorms on Parnell Street were smashed by rioters.
In August, Ridge Hall, a property in Ballybrack, south Dublin, was set on fire after it was rumoured in the area it was to be used to accommodate asylum seekers. In July, another arson attack took place in Co Cork, at the former Gaelscoil Uí Ríordáin school as plans were under way to house Ukrainians seeking refuge from Russia’s invasion of their country.
…
The department said the Rosscahill facility had been secured at a time when very large numbers of international protection applicants and Ukrainians had come to the Republic. It explained 25,926 people seeking international protection were being provided with “State-sourced accommodation and support services”.
“In addition to that, since February 2022, we are also providing accommodation to 73,414 people who have fled the war in Ukraine, resulting in over 99,300 people in State-provided or pledged accommodation in Ireland, and that number continues to increase,” the department statement said. “In the last six months, there has been an average of 560 people seeking accommodation every week.”
