A popular Irish comedian, facing backlash over comments regarding immigration in Ireland, discussed the issue's complexity in follow-up videos. He clarified that he does not support Conor McGregor but acknowledged that McGregor's immigration message resonated in parts of the country. The comedian emphasized that while there are immigration issues, it should not negate support for refugees or those seeking better opportunities. He highlighted concerns about safety in Irish towns and cities, linking them to various factors beyond immigration, while criticizing government responses to public concerns.
There absolutely is an immigration issue in Ireland. That doesn't mean that people feel like we shouldn't take the refugees that we're able to take.
Our towns and especially our cities are becoming much less safe. Now that's not just because of immigration, there's a lot of factors to that.
