Anti-immigration group opposes birds influx

A youth anti-immigration group has revealed its concern at the number of birds that are migrating to Ireland. The group, speaking at a press conference yesterday, stated that the government is not doing enough to control the number of birds coming into the country.

"Sure, the government tells us that millions have been spent on sophisticated radar equipment in our country's airports", said Sheila Clancy (19), chairperson of the Sort Out Discrepancies Of Migration Youth (SODOMY). "But do these radar systems stop the endless invasion of rogue birds? Absolutely not. This is a massive failing on the part of the government."

SODOMY has also stated that its agenda is not a racist one and that it is not fundamentally anti-bird. "We have nothing against Wild Swans and Arctic Terns coming into the country; we feel they contribute to Ireland's tourist industry and have been coming here for centuries. But, it's your African swallows that are the main problem. We have documented evidence that they are coming in on mass and are causing huge social problems for other birds."

The Naked Galwegian has found that negative attitudes towards certain birds are quite prevalent on the streets of Galway. One punter was heard to comment: "Yeah, fuckin' swallows, come in here taking over Irish nests. And all they do is congregate and hang around on wires, shitting on Irish heads. Get them all out I say."

A government spokesperson has said that stricter rules for migratory birds will be announced nest week. The Naked Galwegian will keep you posted.
