Until very recently, Dundrum might have seemed like a great escape from the cosmopolitan hell of Dublin or Belfast — a quiet small town with basic services that isn’t even large enough to house its own primary school.
It may be unrecognizable in a few months’ time, courtesy of the governing authorities.

Between the main street and station is an industrial and retail area which includes a former sawmill, a steelworks and other enterprises. Dundrum has a filling station, hardware store, two grocery shops (incl a deli), a butchers, post office, creche, doctors surgery, pharmacy, pub, garden centre and a number of veterinary businesses.
Dundrum has a Church of Ireland church, St Mary’s Church, located on the corner of the Green Road and Cashel Road. The nearest Roman Catholic church and primary school is in the neighbouring village of Knockavilla (in the parish of Knockavilla and Donaskeigh).
Today there is no primary school within the village itself, the former national school on the Tipperary Road having closed in the 1960s. The school house in Dundrum village was linked to the Church of Ireland church, and the building also housed the village court house.
Now, the tiny village with less than 200 residents, which is too small to even have its own primary school, is set to absorb no fewer than 280 fresh migrants from God-knows-where, with no one who actually lives there voting or signing off on the project — classic Democracy™ in action.

In a strategy seen in many Western countries, Ireland’s government is looking to move more and more migrants into the countryside, with one of the latest schemes focusing on shifting 280 asylum seekers to Dundrum, a village in Tipperary County with a population of only 165.
The move has sparked outrage from the local community, which is embroiled in controversy over the new refugee center. If all migrants are relocated as planned, their population would be 70 percent higher than the local population.
The government plans to convert the Dundrum House hotel into an accommodation complex that will house 280 migrants, with similar plans sparking widespread protests and riots in the Dublin suburb of Coolock just yesterday, with locals there setting fire to construction equipment and battling with police.
I was going to do the math before noting with appreciation that Remix News already tackled it; that’s 280 migrants added to a native population of 165 (almost double), the former of which would dwarf the latter by a ratio of 1.7:1.
The governing authorities bristle, of course, whenever the verboten term “replacement migration” is brought to the conversation — but what other phrase could apply to literally almost tripling the population of a town by government decree overnight with foreign nationals who have no ostensible allegiance to Ireland or Dundrum in particular and no cultural or social ties to the land whatsoever?
What are these migrants supposed to do for work? Most of them probably don’t speak English, have no appreciable skills, and, if they are allowed to remain on the government dole indefinitely, no real impetus to contribute to the local economy in any way.
Of course, as is always the case, the local government, which will bear the brunt of this social engineering project, has considered all of these logistical issues, whereas the leftist national government, which is promulgating the invasion, is seemingly indifferent.
Continuing via Remix News:
Dundrum residents have called for “common sense” in determining the scale of local accommodation plans. Local politicians are also enraged by the proposal, noting that the town does not have the resources or infrastructure to house so many new people, especially when local services are already stretched to their limit.
Independent city councilor Liam Browne said he was “dismayed” by the lack of communication with residents, while Fine Gael city councilor Declan Burgess described it as “deeply concerning” that the community is kept uninformed.
However, pro-immigration Integration Minister and new Green Party leader Roderic O’Gorman showed no signs of backing down. He said the Department of Integration plans to proceed with the accommodation at the Dundrum House hotel despite local protests.
