Hi, you're welcome to another edition of the Opinions Matter Podcast with Jeremy and Casey today. One of Ireland's most listened to podcast, although some were speaking to a few minutes ago, they never even heard of the podcast.

That's okay. What are you laughing at? Oh, I'm so careful about what I say. Not everybody knows. Not everybody knows about the book. Okay, not everybody knows about the podcast. I say. Anyway, it's just a little private joke. If you aren't new to this podcast, you're very welcome along. We broadcast and record this podcast nearly every day of the week where we talk about the issues that are raised by you guys. And today's topic was raised and brought to attention by several listeners. And this is about a protest that is taking place this coming Saturday. Now it's been branded a peaceful protest. And I like peaceful protests. I always believe every day. We like a peaceful protest. Everybody exercise in the right to everybody has a right to protest. And when I hear peaceful protest, I'm happy with that. Anyway, it's a protest that is due to take place this coming Saturday night in Kilcock, which is only done the road from us.

They're not a million miles away. And it's taking place at 7 p.m. in Kilcock. And it's the stop, I pass and plantation. Now this is the words that they post online to stop the I pass and plantation of 300 Muslim men next to a national school in Kilcock. And a lot of people say that they're going to attend us. We'll be talking to one particular woman who shared it on her Facebook page. She's a public figure. She's a politician, a hopeful politician in County Kerry. And she has a lot to say about this. But, and I know a lot of you have a lot to say about this. And first of all, I want to play the video that was recorded just to give some background as to what's going on here. So somebody recorded this outside the proposed I pass center in Kilcock. I want you to have a listen to this. Everyone protests Saturday night at 7 p.m. in Kilcock. I just want to show you a few things here. This is where the proposed me put in 300 Muslim men from God knows where.

Give it a school playground. There it is. Right beside us. Look at the gaze. This gaze. It's over there. A big national school there in Kilcock. All that will be full of men from God knows where. Now, we'll go down here. That's the school there. Polka's national school. And the secondary school there in Kilcock's right beside us. And the church is here. So I'll just point to the church show you a few things. She's walking that gaze to school, yeah? Down that lane there from the town. That's where the I pass is. This is unbelievable. People need to be here Saturday night at 7 p.m. Okay, so that's about a proposed I pass center. I'm at a former nursing home, I believe, that it's a former nursing home in Kilcock, a countyical dare. And from what I believe and from what our research tells us, it's still subject to ongoing planning, permission and deliberations and debates with the community.

Because obviously an I pass center being put anywhere, does raise concerns for some people. A lot of people would not be happy with it, but you decide the school. And we want to get to the bottom of this. If you're from Kilcock, we want to find out what your concerns are. Now as I said, I don't want to spread fake news. So this is not being said in stone yet. It's not as if a bus load is going to pull up today or tomorrow with 300 men. I don't know where they got the figure of 300 from. But all what we do know is that there is a proposal to push an international protection and accommodation service in the former nursing home in church streets in Kilcock. And so I think going on for quite some time, it hasn't happened yet. And obviously some residents are concerned. And the question I guess is, I pass centers are effective life there. They're all over Ireland. Where can you put them? Where is an ideal place to stay? You're a father of three. You school aged children who are probably in school right now.

Yes. And how would you feel? Besides school. I don't know because it hasn't happened yet. I mean, what you're talking to a situation. Yeah, wouldn't be happy about it. In the same way, I wouldn't be happy about a drug treatment center. Or 300 hostel bed, hostel for homeless people. Whether they're from Ireland, England, Nigeria, anywhere, I just wouldn't be happy. Particularly because we don't know where these people have come from. Yes. Opinions matter. Opinions matter. With Adrian County and Jeremy Dixon. Michelle Keen is on the line. Welcome along to Opinions matter. And thanks for taking the call. I realize it was that short notice. And thank you so much for taking the call. Welcome. Thank you, Jeremy, for inviting me on a chart notice to speak today about this. What I've been even the peaceful protest. I'm not part of the organizing of this protest. I've shared them. I suppose the marketing of the protest to make parents and walk in the way or in the community. That this is this pop piece of protest is happening.

And I'm sorry, I don't know. It's not a clock. I mean, to be honest, Jeremy, if my kids were going to that school, I'd be protesting there. And you know, this is I suppose an opportunity now for even all the staff, the principle of the school. And every member of the community. And to come together now to try and stop this from being used. This premises being used as an outpass center. It's a national school, a secondary school and a church. And you know, I'm sorry from from what I can see from the video. It's when you say it's next to it's literally next to the school. Isn't it like it's on? Yes, literally. You walk out one day and it's right next to it. Like so, you know, I mean, I don't care whatever security you'd have in that school. But I mean, there'd be parents. I would imagine if this goes ahead, pulling their students out of their children out of these schools. I would take my children out of the school. What you? Yes. Yeah. Now, I know the community have been, this has been going on since last year. I know the community have been very active about this and opposing the plans for the I pass center.

Where do you, do you know where the figure of 500 came from? Just looking at the building, I wouldn't have thought about how is 500. Well, I heard the figure of 300 euros. That's what I'm sorry, 300 people. 300 people. 300, yes. 300 male migrants coming into this building. Look, I mean, the whole thing in this country around migration has to be looked at with this government. This government has failed the people of Ireland and we can sustain the level of unvited male men coming into this children. And as a mother of a daughter and a son, I would have brave concerns about any I pass center, whether it's Kaka or whether any part of the country. In fact, I've approved in fact, track record of having peaceful protest in my own constituency of Kerry, where even one house was going to be used as an I pass center. And, you know, volume of people work in peaceful protest. So if the people of Kaka, you know, can they don't get out and peacefully protest to stop this?

And then inside there, it's too late. The damage is gone. And, you know, if people care about their community, I mean, you know, there should be thousands of this protest on Saturday evening. Okay, let me ask you. You said you would have concerns. I did say as well, I wouldn't be happy if there was one beside my kids go in the same way. I wouldn't be happy with a drug treatment center or a homeless hostel. That's just the way I am. What would your concerns be? What do you think? I know you can't speak on behalf of the residents of Kilgalk. But what worries would you have or concerns would you have? I mean, it may seem obvious, but some people may not know what concerns would you have if they put in a night pass center beside us. Look at it. Look at it. Anywhere they put out centers in the country. Look at the crime rates that have gone up. We're not just talking rapes. We're talking, you know, test, pelper, pelper, everything. There's a whole lot of associated crimes going to any courtroom, Germany, in any town in the country. Right. And you will see how many male migrants are up as offenders in the courts.

Like the courts. Look at the record. Look at it. Look at it. And they are named and have been released. And you know, it's a public case. That was you were me. We've been named ashamed. And I just grave concerns like particularly for mothers daughters and for mothers themselves. Like, you know, Ireland has now, say, a case, germate for women in this country. And we had a woman on the podcast last week who was saying the very same thing. You know, what happened in our own hometown here at Kilani down the road here in Kilani. The American lady killed, you know, our culture is completely different to these people. And we're a Christian Catholic country. And there is, I believe, no room for Islam in north and south of this island. And you know, we wouldn't go to their countries and be allowed to do what they're doing. And to to our own Irish citizens. And so just to cut across here, how do we know that the man that is. Okay. So as we are at the moment, it's still at the proposal stage and it's going through planning. And there's obviously objections of how do you know what religion?

And I'm just asking a question. How do you know what religion the men will be that will be put into the into the eye. I was informed that there were meals. Was the micens going in there? That's what I just want. Okay. But I mean, even apart from that, take the religion out of the second. Right? 300 meals, me going in beside the national school and the secondary school and a church is a complete none longer. I mean, the government haven't had no plan in place for anything that they're doing in relation to it has. It's not an idea. I agree. It's not it's not an idea location. Now, you did say a few minutes ago that where I pass centers are placed. They've seen an upsurge in crime. I've said this many times. I know you don't listen to the podcast Michelle, but regular listens to podcasts. I know I've said this many times. I live within a I'd say a six minute walk of an eye pass center in Dublin. And my kid's school is within a six minute walk of an eye pass center. Just from my experience, and I've spoken to you about this case, my experience, we haven't noticed an upsurge.

No, I'm not saying that doesn't happen everywhere. It's the same in world. There is one there. There's a hotel that's used, but there have been no problems to be fair. Yeah, one. And again, this is just me to again, there could be. And these are these are you people's families or. Yeah, you see mine as families. It's children and we're as well. Mine and mine is just men. And the reason I know that yeah, yeah, well, I've never seen a woman or a child coming out of us. And what I do see. What I do see. What I do say because I don't want to give away where I live to be. We talk about way. It's a whole time. Sorry, it's South County. It's South County Dublin is where the eye pass center is now. What I will say is from what I've witnessed. And again, just what I've witnessed. And I think if crimes had been committed, we'd hear about it on the local community pages. You'd have Daz news saying I'm not again, a video, I'm not again, a video. And it'll be up. Sorry. What I've seen. What I've seen. But I've seen. And I'm I'm the port. Right. You go in. Have you gone in like what are you statistically basing that on? I think because it won't go into your local court.

Courtaus. There's your nearest one nearby. I'd like you to come back then after two weeks of in and the court. I'm telling me. No, this is I'd be the first to say Michelle. I'm not a soft. Certainly. If that's been reported. Yeah. Sorry. And again, I'm saying. No, but a lot of stuff would be reported on community pages. So we were on local community. Fakes will page what I do see what I do. Not necessarily. Certainly. Certainly. Okay. But what I do see Michelle is the man and they're all man, which makes no sense. They go to the local shop and they do their shopping bags. And then they go back into this eye pass center, which is surrounded by a fence. So it's enclosed. And I don't know is there a curfew on eye pass centers? I think there is. I don't think there is. There. I don't know. But you do not see them coming in and out of the eye pass center later. Probably because they're Muslim and they're not going to pop some stuff. Yeah. But having said that Michelle, I completely get I completely get the the concern. So the question then is if it doesn't get plus here and it shouldn't be beside the school. If it doesn't go into kickoff, where should eye pass centers be placed in Ireland?

Where would you suggest they go? Well, number one, no passport, no entry. We'd need no eye press centers. If all these embedded men were sent back from the tarmac, the minute they land in the airport, there would be no need for eye pass centers. Okay. No disagreement. I'm having an injury and I've been saying this for years. That if you don't have a passport. We don't need. We don't need eye pass centers. We don't need eye pass centers to house on that. It may have my. Me. Okay. We've done so much work in this country for the Ukrainians. I came over here in the war. I mean, look at all the fitment. Ukrainian men that came over here with valve wasn't BMWs and cars to this country. Why wouldn't they ship back the land and you're fighting the war, fighting the front line for your country? I don't know, Michelle. That's a completely separate podcast. But the fact is eye pass centers are a fact of life in Ireland. You know, we we have an agreement that we have to take in asylum seekers. They have to be put somewhere better than eye pass center than me.

I'm sure if they were important to new houses, you'd be screaming, blood, you'd be murdered. So eye pass centers are a fact of life. So where even up the journey to get rid of all these eye pass centers, if we get an engorment into power and just revoke every all these extra pass by Europe. Well, actually, Michelle, I think that they did the eye pass centers if they serve their purpose now. They have done that. I look at our own paper here in Terry there last week reported in excess of over 80 million euros have been paid out for eye pass landlords in Terry. Now, two of these eye pass landlords were nearly gone bankrupt before eye pass came in. It's made multi millionaires out of people. Oh, sorry. I call it straight up as it is, Jeremy. Yeah, Michelle. I know there are people making a lot of money at this. I know. I don't know if you're tired to time. Would you like to stay on the line or do you have to go? Yeah, I can stay on the line. Okay, stay there for a second. I want to go to Kiran on this. Kiran, you've been listening to Michelle.

She's not from Kilkalk herself, but it's safe to say that a lot of people from that area are very worried about the eye pass center. What would you say? I would have some concerns, but I also want to point to I would like to ask Michelle a couple of questions if I can. Why were locals not concerned before the eye pass center about loads of men in the street being un-visit? Un-visit. So I'd say that's a very good question, Kiran number one. Right. My answer to just simply I knocked from the area post. I as a public representative here in my own community here. I have raised so many fortunes myself against why are these envisage and minor incoming, you know, targeting or... Out count towns for eye pass centers. I mean, they're local people need to wake up and take off the blinkers. Right. It's awesome. And they need to start educating themselves on what's actually coming into their town. Look at the courts.

Look at what's going into the courts every week. Look at the climates that are happening that are increasing. We don't know what's relicning to this country. Okay. I mean, we are getting slightly off the topic here. Kiran, surely you would agree with Michelle that the... A put in the eye pass center beside a school is not ideal. It's not ideal. I agree, but I still want to know what the problem with it is. Well, then if it's not ideal, then why... If you can't understand the problem, why free is it not ideal? What part of it's not ideal? What part of it's problem? Well, I wouldn't want to... You know, I wouldn't want to throw center or treatment of alcohol center near a school either. Do you have children? Yeah, absolutely. Do you have school age going children? I do. Okay. You wouldn't see... You say, it's not ideal, both school and... What's the problem? I wouldn't have an issue with it. No, absolutely not. Because nobody had an issue before the eye pass center came along. And there's still going to be hundreds of unverted people in the area. Why are they not worried about them?

Sorry, people have had issues. The ejection centers were coming out. Sorry, Michelle. People were going mad over us. I think people should be worried... I think people should be worried... People should be worried... And they should take off... They should take off the... I thought the volume... The volume is different now. 300 of the lots of mailmen coming in. I'm in... I'm in times that in killcock that are on best. You're probably dead right and death. I don't dispute death. Both your father or your father or yourself. And I don't think deep down in your heart, you'd be too happy about your daughter going to school next to 300 of them. It's the majority of them. No, it's the majority of them. No, it's the majority of them. But I was supposed to have to agree to disagree with that, but me as a mother... Right, I'm not a daddy. You're a daddy? A daddy can't be around 24, so having care on. You know what I'm saying? They're not at the moment in killcock. So why has everybody got a concern? With all the unverted men walk in the street in any town in Ireland.

So this is racist. It's nothing to do with the fact that they're not being invested. It's the fact that there are eye-passed people. Here's Andrea. When you look at what the UK government has to do to their immigration coming in and giving them a booklet on how they should treat women, and that sets with children as a leader, and that rape as a leader, and women have the right to walk, and they have the right to say no. If that's what they have to do, that says it all. Do not put it in your school. A opinions matter. With Adrian Kennedy and Jeremy Dixon, a daily podcast from Ireland about opinions.

Quality value and service you can trust. Now, let me go to Tom. Tom, your own opinions matter. How are you? I'm good. I'm good. Yeah. Tell us your Tom McDonnell there, and from Newbridge, Maconster, there, yeah. Okay, so you would know quite a bit about this. First of all, first question, Tom. How long has this proposed building, or this building being proposed as an iPass center? When did this first start? When did it come to light? Well, I think there was sort of a 23. And you see a big trend in the Catholic church where there are selling a lot of properties to the council and to different, this, this was thought, I think, through a development company. And you see this happen and then there's a turning tide path. We had this new bridge in the Mamas Trevin, where when the war broke out in Ukraine, that the house, the Ukrainian, and that was grand, and it almost happened with that.

We see this trend in the Catholic church where there are selling grounds and premises to either the council or developers and they're going into August. It is a trend. And this took place around 23, 23, it was in Russian for that year. So what is the general feeling? Obviously this protest has taken place and it's a piece of protest this coming weekend. What's the general feeling of the, of the residents who have children in that school in Kulkak? Well, here you're talking about Facebook groups and here you are. All these Facebook groups are controlling each of these towns. You need to know that. We know that. We know that, if I go in in Thomas, I have a counselor in any of these Facebook groups in in New vulture, whenever straight away your block office. And this would happen that all these Facebook groups are going to be in this place. So when you were seeing there, I heard you said to Michelle, oh, we don't know about any of the crimes going on there. Because I even have an opinion that is a lurking people to what's going on. They blocked the mass of Facebook groups.

And you only get one opinion. You get one trend. And the trend is that everything is grand. So the greatest suspect on well, I was talking about the iPass center next to me, which I can only comment on because that's the one that next to it. And I'm saying there's spots out groups from residents. There's no conspiracy. Nobody's going to be blocked. And what I'm saying is we haven't personally, we have not seen a surge in crime. And you would. No, but the truth is, the truth is, the truth is, the truth is, the truth is, it's not the truth. It's not the truth. It's like the one in Clarence, where Clarence is. No, but I'm sorry, it's Tom. I'm talking with the iPass center next to me. By the way, and I'm not, I'm not downplaying, you know, incidents of, um, or not, Clarence, I see you're giving it, but Clarence is there to Michelle. Yeah. I'm just going to, right. There is, there is an incident. They're not, they're not coming forward. The courts are falling. They, they, the government prison is something like, it's in the 60, 60, what, what do you mean they're not coming forward? Who's not coming forward to report them? They're not, there's not any media. And it's not getting into the fifth group.

So I told you, the first group are going to go over to all the towns. They're, they're, not people are not getting free speech. Okay. But what about, what will hang on, hang on Tom, Tom, Tom, does Tom, does plenty of people, who would be anti-immigration, who have large platforms. I mean, we regularly talk about Daz news on, on this podcast. I'm sure if a video emerged of an assault taking place outside the Noipass Center, he'd have that, straight away. I'm at the end of video, a Noipass Center. I think I need a video, a Noipass Center. He'd have it straight away. So, what's not here and stuff that's going on as well? There is the, don't, don't bury your head in the sun and say that, we're not buried in that's going on. We're not buried in that's going on. We're not buried in that. I'm not buried in my head in some. What I'm saying is, I haven't heard the, the residents, my neighbors aren't going around, absolutely terrified, because nothing has happened so far. Having said that, Tom, I would not want to Noipass Center next to the school. So, what, what concerns have the residents raised at these meetings? The residents of Russia, they're, they're,

they're, they're here, they're here. They're in fear of what, they mean that they're in there, they're not involved in. Right, I heard that man saying, that, that the meaning in, in, in, in, that the. They're, the California Basis, we are all Basis. We are all committing the system. The day we're borned, we have, We have been, the, if you haven't committed crime, but like that, you're on the post system, passwords way. So, that man has to say, that you're not, bizas, you're all of, Norway. And any, Irish man has the 10th. iesta, attitudes, ni knowledge, ridiculous point, Kira, we're all vassered.

Carmel says, you're vassered if you go for a job, you have a PPS number. Yeah, Carmel. Okay. Yes, you are vassered. Everybody's name is on record if you're born, not it. But the point is Carmel that there could be people living and that's the point that Kira was trying to make you obviously made it very badly. There could be people living in your area that are sex offenders that have been done for rape and you just wouldn't know who they are. Now this is the truth to God. The truth to God, a friend of mine was on my Instagram the other day and she was looking through my father's list to find an old friend. Right. Yep. Someone who used to hang around with years ago and she messaged me to tell me and you know this guy, he's a pedophile and he was following me on Instagram. I don't post my pictures, luckily enough, but she messaged me to say you want to remove him. This guy is actually a pedophile. I convicted pedophile. You don't know what I genuinely got a fright. I was like, this guy has interacted with my photographs as like you just never know. It's terrifying. Okay. Let me go to Mark and how are you, Mark? Good folks. I'm no chat. Good. Yeah. I saw some of the comments. You're very upset with with with Kira on there.

I was very upset, but I think it's an absolute disgrace of a father. If he thinks there's no problem, having a knife pass center next to his kid's school first off. And second off, it's the oldest trick in the book this old, which you don't know who's better. Like Simon Harris, the prick sort of open the door. Oh, this vetting this on vetted. And if you know like people like me and people like Tom there are only gopshites like we all know not everybody's better. First and foremost, but if anyone that's born here commits a crime, it's very easy to trace them. We all have pps numbers. Like as Tom said there, you could land in the country from Nagas and say, my name is whatever. That's not your name at all. Like, and you could have conviction as long as you're on, but there's nothing going to happen because they're not going to go to wherever the pole system in Nigeria or Somalia that do an exist and be like, oh, yeah, this fella is here. What's he like? They're not going to they're not going to do that. So it's all it's all Okay, we're getting we're getting bogged down the nvesting thing. What would your objections be to an eye pass center near your area?

My eye objections. So so crimes like and you can say all you want. These crimes aren't being reported like there is an eye pass center. Yeah, but I can only talk about mine and people are getting very very upset about this. I can only talk about the one near my house. And I'm just saying, if believe don't be don't play citybogers because if a crime is committed by an immigrant in this country, everybody knows about it because you have you have rage basures and far rise with social media accounts that are very quick to put this stuff up whether it's true or not, Martin. So there's no way these attacks happen without being reported on these on these Facebook. We're not just it's not it's not big stuff. It's not attacked. And if things happen within the eye pass centers, fight some months over people and all this sort of carry on that you don't know about and it won't be reported because they happen to inside them for a while. Like this is what I'm saying. I've worked worked in previous radio stations and I know local eye pass centers there. They've had their problems at the garage. They have fights breaking out brawls ended up on the road with

uncommon traffic and people one person being armed with a weapon. So it does happen. Yeah, it doesn't it doesn't happen. And like it's just it doesn't matter any crime in your area or it doesn't have to be somebody for right. If an auto or deco goes in and runs a sharp you're not going to know that. No, but when no, no, no, no, Martin again, when crimes are committed by unverted immigrants, yes, the stories are amplified whether they're whether they're true or not. But how many stories in the last couple of months have been posted by these social media? The dogs. I'm at the dog eating the dogs. I'll turn it into a dog. Not what you know what I mean. So I know, yeah, we make me laugh. Yeah, I know it's still hilarious that we still haven't seen the video after Somalians, either dogs. We will actually we'll actually see we'll actually get the Epstein files before we get that video. It's just so crazy. My point is stories involving involving immigrants always get amplified more. I'm going to use them to push an agenda. Yeah, I'll be doing it. They both sides do that now. Let's not just let's not concentrate on that. But going back to what you were saying to me about having an eye

passenger next next to a school like. Straight back is straight back to religion and straight back. Don't even talk about the cold risk. Because that drives me fucking crackers because there's people from Georgia. There's people from Ukraine, or in these eye passengers. And there is white of me. So that that ball of especially from Kierran about skin color. So low to shit, it's about where they're common problem like guys, you know, pull up the bit where I mentioned the words skin color because I didn't. You said 20 minutes ago that's upset a lot of people here on that you wouldn't have a problem with an eye pass and to be near your child's. Well, when someone comes up with a problem, then I'll come up with it. And if you go along, there's a load of unvested men. That's fine. That's a separate issue. The issue was about the eye pass and to go next or to a school. What's the problem with it going next or to a bank that's full of women who are under threat? What's the difference? I don't know where they're coming from, but the majority of the countries where they are coming from and you you can look this up if you want. Okay, child child brides are okay. And they're also coming from from

places where women are deemed second class citizens and they can do what they want. Like so. Okay, there are another person that would have voiced out there and this is true. You can check this out. Google is your friend. They were handing out in eye pass entered in England. There's a booklet basically saying don't rape women and basically saying don't trust children. So that's a major issue with because of the culture from their from where common why is a drug rehabilitation not ideal? Because I don't want people afraid of that. I don't want to invest it. Men. That's why I never said I didn't have a problem. But if it's not a problem, then why is it not ideal? It's not ideal. But it's not the way because the way society is gone. It's not ideal according to society. That's what I'm saying. I genuinely don't think and sorry, I genuinely don't believe you actually know what you're talking about today, Karen. I don't know what you're on. You're the only one who says you don't know what they say. It's not making any sense. You're saying it's not ideal. But the same and the same

breath you're saying it's not a problem. Put your side stick to it. What you're so full. It's incredible. Ask me a direct question. Then I asked you a direct question and you did not answer. How is it not a problem? It's not ideal. I said it's not ideal. According to society, it's not ideal. But they're the way society goes. But surely it's it wouldn't be ideal for you either. It doesn't bother me. It's like it doesn't bother a lot of people. Jeremy, it just said you how long have the iPass Center been in your area? It's been there about three years. Now, and again, I'm saying maybe they're happy. Maybe they're happy. Where you have any protests? I didn't go. Did there were protests? There were protests? No, I didn't. Where you have any protests? I didn't go to any protests. But they're where... They didn't bother you then. Well, it didn't bother me because nothing had had happened. Now again, the iPass Center, it's not like next door to my house and it's not next door. But it's actually quite near to three different schools. Right. We've never received any... Why are we mentioning schools? So if 20 women came out onto this country, let me explain to Robert

about schools because generally people... Generally people are very worried about children. Because children are vulnerable and children are often alone. They could be walking home alone and they're not able to stick up for themselves. They will be able to protect. That was my point about unversed men. When you take a quick break, back in a second. Opinions matter. With Adrian Kennedy and Jeremy Dixon, a daily podcast from Ireland about opinions. Hi, Darren. How are you? I'm actually... I've listened to the podcast a long time. I have to say today's episode is probably about making me the most angry. Listen to that, I care about that. Well, first of all, there's here I'm not really like, but the Meihar mountain, it came out a few months ago, I'm literally said, what the 40% of asylum applicants are failing in their bid. I have no idea what the statistics are. Exactly. Exactly. You have no idea how to talk about this. It's a showdown. No, unfortunately, the other 40% of asylum teachers applicants are failing. So therefore, they're not being deported. So you want all these men roaming the streets with no checks, no nothing.

Don't make a quote me, I never said that. Never said that. So it's my favorite. I'm telling you a fact. I'm telling you a fact of the 40% of applicants. Of applicants for watch. For what? I was an asylum. A asylum. They're failed. Therefore, they have no right to be here. Right. So why are they here then? That's a separate issue. Because our government is looking stupid. What it likes to you, who likes them going to roam in the streets and not being deported, they could be fleeing a different country. We'll get you off for a minute. Will you? No, we're very clear. They can flee. I was accused of going off the point. I was accused of going off the point. How is this off the point? It's part of the asylum seekers. I was a asylum. It's a group of people who are not in the asylum centers. Who was in the asylum centers? A asylum seekers. Yeah? Correct. Yeah. So how is that not to be with the focus on the eye pass empty? A tick. You want or off the 40% of people who fail in the asylum,

roam in the streets in the eye pass center near schools. You think it's okay? These people could be fleeing crimes from different countries. Which is that the fact? It didn't see that case in the UK. The Egyptian man that was wanted for rape in four auto countries, raped two women in the UK and they were servants for 15 years in the UK. But likes to you, doesn't want to know us. And how do you know crimes haven't gone up with eye pass center applicants? Because we don't keep records of people who commit crimes and nationalities. But how do you know that crime's haven't gone up? Okay, let's put that question. How do you know, Kira? Every Google Jeremy, look at the crimes statistics on Google for Ireland. The breakdowns of all sorts of things there on there. I'm sure you've seen them. I know I checked it before I came on here today. Yeah. It didn't. My God. I agree with them. I agree with them. 40% of people fail. Then they shouldn't be here. That's not what the discussion is. No, you're right. You've got to be right. You've got to be right. That's your whole argument gone. We don't know these people.

Especially the 40% who fail. Right. It's okay. And they're not removed from the country. They are literally left roaming the streets of Gowlin to the car everywhere. I'm actually in the car right now. I work here. So, like everyone else, what wrongs the country will kill cars? Yeah. But if I go and attack someone on the street here on the record of me in the country, where for like a century man, attack someone on the street and no one knows who he is, he can flee to a different country. Let me go to Joey. Joey, you're on a peninsula matter. How are you? Yeah. Now, well, let's rest the kill car. That's what the subtext is. Yeah. I don't think that should be an impact center. Also, the scale full stop. We don't know who these men are. Half of them deal with the documentation when they deal with them here. So, we don't know who they are. They don't deal background checks. Like, it's a proven fact. You know, they shouldn't be an impact center. They also either skilled. Skilled children are young and they're vulnerable. You know? Yeah, that's what I said. Yes. Yes. Yeah. Boy kids go to primary sound school. Right? And when that fellow said he was going to

slash baby faces, my kid wouldn't work through that park anymore. The video was terrifying. Terrifying. Yeah. And I mean, I'm like, it's like, yeah, my kids go to primary sound school. And that's the feel that we're living in. That we call it Bali farm. Because they were going to Bali farm. We just put them in the primary sound school just to give them a better chance, you know? So, um, So I think I think we all agree back here. And I think we all agree that an eye pass center should not be put beside the school. So where should they be put then? Well, they shouldn't be put like, I don't want to be banks forever. I don't, I don't, I don't think we put El Soido and then don't learn, you know, all the partial areas. And we'll see what they say, you know, because they're being put, they're being put in our countless states. But again, that's not true. Joey, I, I just can't repeat myself. I'm not living the council station. I have a, there is a little bit of a pinpoint in it's certain areas more. I'm sorry, I guarantee you there's less. You go to like the darky fix. Yes, rock all around. There's less than you'll find in Finland. Sorry, there's more in Bali farm. Sorry, there's more than black rock. My mate lives in black rock. I understand that. But I guarantee if you look at the number of them,

they're in the lower class areas. And what would be the class? I was walking in St. Vincent hospital and I was just a totally different, um, Lee just messaged in. She said they should be warehouses, commercial spots, all out in the middle of nowhere, away from children. And finally, let's have a listen to this voice note from John who's ultimately trying to get on me, just having had time to go to all the quarters. He didn't go as fucking hard to listen to this today, but just ask, I'll turn on my time. I always still have me falling behind, because we've gone out a while a few times. And look here is the thing, you know what I mean? And these are the stats. I can't get them on any order. I'm Oipa Center, order on the CES. And there was a 1092 winces report. It's a thousand, a 92 winces report. It's in the Oipa Center in CES. The loan last year. Now there's no there for 2026, because obviously, I haven't been published or whatever the fuck may be. But there's no there for body organ. And I need your door. Uh, Oipa centers. I can't get them. I don't know why I can't get them. But obviously, he had no further reason.

These Oipa centers are bad news. For any weird amount, for any parent to the country to go, tear it out of good, they were never to go to the day. They were never ever being the good they did. Who thinks an Oipa center will load hundreds of men going into, you know, we all quite know what's happened with these men. As what Darren said, but it's not an Oipa center. The Roman streets, the Roman streets, from the get fucked out is Oipa centers. They're sleeping in doorways of apartments. They're asleep. They're up to no good. Now here's the thing. Or there's no other side of the country anymore. Thank you very much for listening to this episode of Opinions Matter. I think 99% of us agree that an Oipa center shouldn't be beside the school. But I also agree that a drug treatment center shouldn't be beside the school. I also believe that a homeless center shouldn't be beside the school. Anyway, thank you very much for listening to this episode. Don't forget to subscribe on Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts. And you'll never miss another episode of Opinions Matter. And we'll talk to you on the next one. Say bye bye Katie. She has nothing to say.
