Episode 1789: The Richie Allen Show Thursday February 29th 2024

Richie is joined by the Irish politician and activist, Ben Gilroy. Irish police are investigating the alleged physical assault of a young girl by an individual at a hotel which is housing asylum seekers in Kildare.

Rumours circulated on social media that a young girl staying at the hotel near Celbridge, which houses International Protection applicants, was sexually assaulted by three men. 

This led to a demonstration outside the hotel on Tuesday evening, which was attended by figures prominent in the anti-immigrant movement and during which officers were targeted with fireworks.

Ben Gilroy discusses the implications of this with Richie and also looks ahead to next weeks referendums.
