An asylum seeker, no less. Imported to do the jobs the Irish don't- killing American females.

Melissa Chen @MsMelChen The US men's national soccer team is being subjected to the same kind of legalized plunder that defines too many divorce proceedings in this country.
After grinding through qualifiers, earning their spot in the World Cup, and generating the massive FIFA payout that only the men's game can produce ($12.8 million in this case), the players are now forced to hand over a huge chunk of that money to the women's team under the "equal pay" collective bargaining agreement.
The women didn't play a single minute of those matches, didn't draw the crowds, didn't sell the tickets, and didn't create the revenue - yet they still get a cut of the men's prize money while the reverse transfer remains a fraction. Yes the women are more successful (having won the Women's World Cup several times) but the prize is much smaller. Why? It reflects differences in global interest, sponsorship, viewership and actual performance.
This is all under the guise of "parity" between "equivalent work." But in reality, it's more like subsidizing one program with the output of the other, just like the ex-spouse cashing checks from earnings she didn't generate.
"Equal pay" sounds noble until you realize it erases differences in market value, risk, audience draw, and results. It disincentivizes excellence on the men's side (why push harder if your windfall gets redistributed?) and removes pressure on the women's side to grow their own commercial appeal.
Like divorce settlements that trap high-earners in perpetual support roles, this policy treats men's soccer as a piggy bank for "fairness," not a business rewarding what fans and sponsors actually value.

Two high schoolers allegedly use a homemade plasma cannon to break into the school. If that's what it sounds like, forget about charging them and give them A+'s and college scholarships.
Wow the Irish Garda are doing the opposite of the usual US protocol on POC suspects: they're giving his ethnicity - and that's it. No name, no description, no picture, nothing else. He's an asylum applicant, so they certainly have all of that. One would think that if you're on a nationwide manhunt, you'd want to spread that info far and wide.
Still, it's a step above "youths in jeans and hoodies." Guess the Europeans are once again more advanced. CC, JSM
