Westport and other towns in Mayo will be taken over by 'professional beggars' this summer unless the situation is ‘nipped in the bud’ according to Independent councillor Christy Hyland. Hyland said that he has learned that people who are regularly begging in Westport live in a house in Castlebar and are supported by the State and take in over €3,000 in payments each month. The scale of this phenomenon around the country is beyond belief. There's a lad on Instagram who has been exposing the professional beggar community in Dublin called @the_irish_patriot. Above is a compilation of his work. Housing Minister Daragh O'Brien previously stated that between 30% and 40% of new homeless registrations each month are recently arrived foreigners, but in February he admitted Roma account for a "large volume". We're perfectly entitled to deport them so why hasn't this been happening? 🔗mayonews.ie 👉🏻join Late Stage Ireland
