Ezra Levant is traveling to Ireland for two critical developments.
First, Kirk Loco is facing a censorship trial in Bray under Ireland’s so-called fake news law. However, the content he published was not fabricated but rather a legitimate warning about what he perceived as a public safety threat: a migrant man harassing teenage girls on a bus.
The following day marks another pivotal moment with two by-elections for the Irish Dáil. By-elections are often used by voters to protest their government, and Ireland’s current administration—known for high taxes and mass immigration—has provided strong reasons for public discontent.
In the Dublin by-election, Malachy Steenson, an independent Dublin City councillor who has been a vocal critic of mass immigration, is one candidate to watch.
However, the focus has shifted to Galway West, where a special by-election will fill the seat left vacant after socialist Catherine Connolly was elected President. There, independent candidate Noel Thomas is running as a dark horse contender. Thomas was expelled from the mainstream Fianna Fáil party for criticizing Ireland’s mass immigration policy and later joined grassroots groups of farmers and truckers protesting high fuel taxes.
Will Galwegians send a message by electing a grassroots dissenter like Thomas—into the former seat of the president?
