For a man who "talks a lot of horseshit", this is probably one of the most remarkably intellectually honest, contextual complete and wholesome takes on the situation I have heard to date. You are a credit to yourself and the people (and I mean all people!) of this country! #GoodManGarron!
Agree. Very eloquent, but to the point, and not preachy. Plan to steal much of what you said here and how you said it when I'm asked loaded questions about immigration in future. Enough hate in the world already ffs. You're a top man Garran ❤
Garron, I’m a middle-aged teacher who works almost exclusively with people from outside of Ireland and I want to just say that I admire you so much! You are hilariously funny, but what you have articulated in this video is so full of common sense, humanity and needs to be heard! Please, don’t change. Keep being you. Speak up when you have something to say. You are wonderfully unique! Humour and intelligence, both of which you possess in abundance, is a wonderful combination! Wishing you the very best of luck with everything in the future, Garron. - Helen in Castlebar. By the way, I almost never comment on UA-cam videos, but you have impressed me so much that I felt that I needed to say something.
I was trying to put a comment together when I read this and found it expressed my thoughts and feelings precisely! So Garron, from me, exactly what this comment said!
@@noelmurphy9398 Hi there. He has true funny bones, rare these days. Hope he stays grounded, he’s much needed lighthearted soul in these mental times. Happy day to you.
Dearest Garron , this was very well said. You are a gentleman and your articulate and sensitive approach to this subject is appreciated. We know how you influence lots of folk , young and old alike . Brilliant.
Fantastic Garron, you didn't do what a LOT of people done when all this happened which was get on their phones and started ranting about one side or the other, you DID NOT, you took a few days, waited for information to come forward and then looked at EVERY side of things. You didn't force your opinion down our throats or try to influence anyone or anything either way, just a very level headed calm approach to what was an awful situation! My own opinion not that it matters is simple, it's a tale of two immigrants the man who committed the atrocious act against innocent victims and the hero who saved their and possibly more lives! There's always two sides to a coin! Thank you for this, this is important and you did us proud!
It has since been revealed that the true hero is actually an Irishman called Warren Donoghue he tackled and brought down the guy, the Brazilian helped but the media have been instructed to make the Brazilian to be the hero because it suits the Government narrative and creates balance. Brazilian now has crowd funding of over 300k and did very little compared to the real hero Warren Donoghue… it’s very sad but if Brazilian has any real integrity he will give the money to the victims, let’s wait and see 🤔
That was a beautiful sentiment....well said ....i am an immigrant.....from England now living in Mexico ....it is easy to divide people and use fear to create mistrust and hate. The world needs more people like you. Laughter is a beautiful tool against fear and hate ...keep going and keep sharing your beautiful strange view of the world
Well said, Garron. May Ireland heal from the violence and grow stronger. Hate never wins, it just waits for good people to look the other way. Prayers for all who need them.
Thank you for giving your unbiased and unpolitical opinion and I respect that the most because I am not Irish but it helped me understand the situation a little bit more I've been hearing about it but not understanding it being not in Ireland ❤
You're talking absolute sense you've obviously taken time to analyze and think about it. Best thing ive heard all week about it was on the Shrule to Castlebar bus yesterday 2 pensioners talking.. " Sure when you think about it though isn't it great to be from a country people want to come to " Thought about that and yes it is . Cos 40 years ago no one wanted to live here everyone who could was moving to England or America. And lets face it if it wasnt for British people and eastern Europeans moving into the west of Ireland there'd be hardly anyone left here ! But yes housing and health Has to be done properly in the future not just tinkered with theres a lot of catching up to do . Brilliant video Garron I hope it goes far and wide .
Very well said! The Irish are everywhere and we weren’t always welcomed with open arms. We can’t paint everyone with the same brush or turn those genuinely in need away. Nor can we continue to ignore some significant gaps in our process of opening the country up. Heartwarming to listen to this 💜🙏
Garron, you are hilarious and charming, obviously. But now I see you are also wise and compassionate. Just keep on doing your thing and being yourself. The world needs your perspective and humor. I’m just an old (76) hippie living in South Jersey USA, but you touch me with your smile. Keep on keeping on !!
Thank you Garron for speaking up on behalf of your country. I hope many people in Ireland and around the world hear your message of good will. Love ya. CR. PS- I love your new look. Very becoming. ❤
The sheer incompetence of our government and judicial system caused this. That man was here for twenty years, had severe mental health problems and have previous convictions related to knife crime. Anyone with mental issues and a history of carrying knives surely shouldn't be let roam the streets. And I'd be damn sure he wasn't offered the help needed. God help anyone trying to get mental health treatment in this country! Then the sheer amount of migrants, refugees and asylum seekers that have come into the country in the past few years is crazy, especially with the house crises. I'm in favour of helping people in crises but surely there's a limit in how many we can take? People look at other countries around Europe and see the terrorists attacks etc. and it puts people on edge. I don't believe this was terror related but I can see why people jumped to that conclusion very quickly. Then there's the riots and the absolute shambles of hole it was dealt with. A police force so unequipped to deal with such an event that it took hours for riot police to show up whilst other Gardai stood there not knowing what to do. Years and years of no support to our law enforcement was on full show on Thursday night. Those leading this country and our law enforcement are not fit for purpose whatsoever. They lit a fire under the pot, kept adding fuel to it and it hit boiling point. And not single one of them know how to react. Absolute shambles. #Irelandisfull they say. Oh it's full alright. Full of greedy and useless politicians.
Garron. That was bloody beautiful. So glad to hear your well thought out and empathetic response. You really are a gem. From Canada, (and just having stumbled upon this video now) a country that aspires to be a mosaic where everyone's cultures form a colourful and unique part of our combined identity (we know we have much work yet to do with both our indigenous peoples and our immigrants) I can't tell you how warm it makes my heart to hear your comments. Thank you for using your platform to spread a bit of common sense and compassion. I Absolutely do follow you, and I believe wholeheartedly that you are delicious.
Well you said all the right and only things to say in the situation!!! I agree with it all.... And here's to us all to get it right! Ireland is a lovely place to live! Live long and stay delishes!!!
9 months later and still just as much worth listening to. As I said recently, you can hear more truth from a comedian than you do on the news. The world needs your intelligence, consideration, positivity and reflection. Keep doing what you're doing 👍🌟
Well said Garron! I worked in the early days of the Ukrainian war to help refugees coming here and am friends with many to this day. I agree with EVERYTHING you've said. A recent subscriber, I've been down the auld rabbit hole you delicious pr1ck! Delighted and stunned to see your also a talented musician. Have listened to a few interviews with you. You're some man for 1 man! Fan in Donegal.
In fairness a very balanced, informed view from a man who is not in the political game. All I would say is most people are saying put some controls on our borders, put some checks on the people coming in. Irish authorities shouldn't be going to these countries promising the natives things we can't deliver just because we want to be seen as the best boy in the class. In other words apply a bit of common sense that's not represented by over 90 % of Dail Eireann. Common sense is not far right. Fair play to Garron here. I reckon he has a big future ahead of him.
Serb expat here. Like you said, it's important to have conversations. Better to have difficult conversations than any form of violence. Just some ex-yugoslavia wisdom for ye here. On another note, if Ireland would ever want to kick me out for whatever reason - I'd pack my bags and would be grateful for the opportunity to live and work here.
Fair play but i would expect ireland to ask you to leave, the agrument is being blown up. no one in ireland wants 0 immigration. Its that we dont want unlimited to the point that rhe natives are replaced. 20% of population not including people with refugee status is too high. At wantt point do we stop and say ireland is for the irish.
Great sentiment and one I've heard a lot in Ireland. I'm an immigrant to Texas. I was born in Cork and brought up in Dublin. I was working in London in the late 80's. I was tolerated but not really accepted. That's not poor victim me. It's just to point out that immigrants tend to have to keep our heads down and that being tolerated is not as enjoyable as being accepted. It's a much better experience in the US but mainly because I'm white. I hear the stuff people around me say about what they think of "real" immigrants. I don't love it. Blame the economy on the people who built the economy. I suggest it's better than it was when I left, but it should be more inclusive and egalitarian. We all might want to understand whether we're entitled to a house with a garden and who should pay for it. At the same time we should all have a good chance at the things we want in our life. I will say the vast majority of people I meet are better than some of the people that want to represent me.
Thank you, Garron, for your well thought through comment. It seems that the whole world is in a state of change, and with it, frustration. We are all feeling the pains of economic stress and it is easy to blame the refugee population for our problems. Most people fleeing death and destruction do not have ill intent for those who have generously taken them in. But when an immigrant commits a horrible crime such as you brought out it is easy to blame them for all the problems in the country. My heart goes out to the people of Ireland and I hope this does not happen again any time soon. You are doing a good deed for the Irish people as well as the world,, Garron, with your light hearted programs. Please keep it up and do not hesitate to throw in a serious topic now and then as well. I am a senior citizen and an American and we have those who want to throw out all immigrants, which would have devastating effects on us all. We are in for a rough time in the near future and I only hope we can find a way to all get along, and that people who have been given refuge by the generosity of a kindly people do not take their troubles out on them. I love the Irish people, Garron, and you make me love you all even more. May God keep us all safe.
Fair play to you, Garron. That was by far the most level-headed commentary I've heard on a very complex situation from someone not connected to a news outlet of some sort or other. Ireland does have a unique perspective on matters such as this through the centuries-long, hard-fought lessons learned....(too long and detailed to articulate here).
Garron you always make soooo much sense. So balanced in all you're saying, because you give such an objective analysis. Totally agree with you, my friend. Thank you so much. Please keep teaching us, keep sharing you're wonderful musical talent with us. Please do keep making us laugh, cos we need it, keep educating us about FOOD, and keep being delicious.❤❤❤
So eloquent, so empathetic, so rational! From the US I'm sorry the horror of violence has reared it's ugly head. Your beautiful land is sacred even to me who has never been there. I pray my country gets itself together this Nov and becomes once again a brother to be trusted and loved. I pray your country recovers quickly from the shock and pain. Garron thank you for talking about this. You've done your country proud. Much respect to you all. ❤
I've been politically active my whole life & I don't think I've ever heard such a clear, sincere & empathetic discussion of this issue as this. Hope more folks see this
get ready for the next one, thats the intention of islam like it or not thats what they are taught and trained for from birth and we have welcomed our own destruction. you are biased if you dont educate yourself and protect tyrants just because you perceive grown men to be infants you need to speak for and protect because of their colour
God bless the victims 🙏 I am glad you spoke about this. I think maybe the government should have been looked at the man closely and take drastic measures with regards to him. I know the man who helped to rescue the victims so we shouldn't forget that as well. I support Ireland and I think you spoke really well on this ❤
We have the same problems going on here in America. I personally want to apologize because of my country and it's proxy wars You guys unfortunately get the refugee problem while we don't lift a finger to help. Not that I'm saying refugees shouldn't be allowed to seek asylum. I'm just saying if my country wasn't constantly messing around in places where it doesn't need to be, we wouldn't have people fleeing their homes because of civil war and unrest.
This has nothing to do with right-wing americans, you clown you dichotomy does nit apply to european politics. Ireland is for the Irish , which is literally the point of the free state.
I can't believe this only has a thousand likes. All very well put. There hasn't been a sentiment as well gathered and encapsulated since someone put an egg inside a shell. Legend.
You have made some reasonable points and I agree the Irish have a justifiable empathy towards others fleeing persecution, war etc. However, there are two very important issues, namely scale and assimilation. As a small country Ireland can’t have a policy of receiving unlimited numbers of migrants, be they genuine asylum seekers or economic migrants. Secondly, one must differentiate between those embracing or adding to the Irish culture and those wishing to replace it. Add to this the problems facing many Irish people with basic needs seemingly being ignored and increasing incidence of migrant related crime, there is a recipe for extremism to arise. A governments first responsibility is to its own people and this must take precedence.
Well done, Sir. As an American expat in Dublin, we appreciate all the great Irish people. Perhaps a missed opportunity to claim victory over the Luas! 😂
Coming to this quite late obviously but thank you for you point of view, your clarity, your absolutely on point...wish I saw more of this on social media.
I had no idea of these events from here in Australia, but i choose not to watch the news for my mental health. Thanks Garron. Would love to visit Ireland someday.
Coming from war torn countries with serious mental health issues our mental health services cannot cope. We have own people with mental health issues. I've witness serious assaults on kids in after school care whereby social workers have place seriously disturbed kids from other countries. We need be aware of the numbers and what we can cope with
Well said, I agree with everything you said and think there should be a Citizens Assembly on ownership and development of land and property & infrastructure in Ireland from a socio economic and environmental and constitutional change point of view. Oxygen is the best antiseptic but only if hate and bigotry are ruled out.
Thank you for saying g this Garron. My husband and children are Irish but I am not (tho hopefully will be soon!) And I love the Irish and the welcome I have gotten. ❤
£90.000. + Expenses. He is not Charles J Haughey. A master in double speak. Labour need to bring fourth legislation that prohibits all forms of Corruption by MP's in Parliament and the house of Lords 🇮🇪🇪🇺
Lived in co. Tyrone until ,,8 years old (during the troubles,) immigrated to Canada now living in mexico but my heart is still in Ireland Sad about recent events
An excellent, balanced, and articulate critique of the situation. As a fellow Irishman living in the southeast of the country, I fully agree with you. Were you ever to become inclined towards politics, you'd get my backing and vote. All the best.
Thank you for this, wow, as a Canadian living on the US border I struggle to gather my thoughts without frustration and anger when I see extreme hostility and rage in our politics, nearly half a century here, it’s not our way. I know we have massive economic struggles and people are desperate and tired. Emotions are high. Still I can see so much of the manner and rage seems to spill over, from our neighbours, and is upsetting. I feel badly for our neighbours, such a beautiful country filled with so many wonderful people too. This division, that is consumed all over, it’s poison. Thank you for your words, my parents are immigrants to Canada and I’m born and raised here. They were the proudest and most hard working Canadians. Immigrants can build a country in incredible ways.
Very thoughtful and on-point and timely, also for all of us who watch from elsewhere. Glad to see the his side of ye. Off to find a food vid of yours to lighten it up a bit.
Man, I'm sorry about that situation that went on, things like that are hard there's always a "what if" that happen afterwards on situations that happen that shock anybody, yeah sorry bout that all you guys are going through. My prayers are with you guys
Stick with funny, Garron! Your diagnosis is mostly accurate, but needs a follow up therapy: We need careful selection of those who come, and careful management of how many we can properly absorb into society and infrastructure. Nilly willy anyone is welcome is a very bad strategy.... I am am immigrant myself
Another fully consenting immigrant here: I care fanatically for asylum FOR THOSE WHO DESERVE IT. I.e. bishop Tutu, Julian Assange, Snowdon and the likes. The rest has to go asap
Well said. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I’d say what you said is relevant to the current situation in most if not all the world. Keeping a level head and love in our collective hearts will determine how this all ends up. Good point about the value the Irish immigrants have brought to the countries they have sought refuge in. Where would the world be without the Irish? Either utterly lost or at the very least debilitatingly board I’d say!
Man the 500th like form DJ Shea I love you simply because you are amazing pity we have to deal with this xxx but you my friend make this world a better place ;) just by being you.
Very well said Garron. I think your view is shared by a large number of silent Irish people. We need to speak up and speak out against hate to make the world the wonderful place it should be.
Garron you need to speak out as people listen to you. Britain is in a helluva state with such a real government but Ireland stay strong. Keep on being delicious garron.
For a man who "talks a lot of horseshit", this is probably one of the most remarkably intellectually honest, contextual complete and wholesome takes on the situation I have heard to date. You are a credit to yourself and the people (and I mean all people!) of this country! #GoodManGarron!
Well said! I completely agree!
Agree. Very eloquent, but to the point, and not preachy. Plan to steal much of what you said here and how you said it when I'm asked loaded questions about immigration in future. Enough hate in the world already ffs. You're a top man Garran ❤

I pray my country gets itself together this Nov and becomes once again a brother to be trusted and loved. I pray your country recovers quickly from the shock and pain. Garron thank you for talking about this. You've done your country proud. Much respect to you all. ❤
BS,look at Ireland and UK today, absolutely a shiz show because of immigration because of the government.
The country is too small to receive so many.
You seem a very nice man.
Well said and all the best from the uk.
I bet talk tv and gbnews cant get enough of this
Much love ❤
I've been politically active my whole life & I don't think I've ever heard such a clear, sincere & empathetic discussion of this issue as this. Hope more folks see this
My heart goes out to the families 💗💔
As an immigrant from Scotland, I love this, but historically we need to remember it was a genocide, not a famine. 🇮🇪💚
I’m aware but if I say famine everyone knows what I mean if I say genocide I have to unpack it
@@Garron_Musicit's worth unpacking,
get ready for the next one, thats the intention of islam like it or not thats what they are taught and trained for from birth and we have welcomed our own destruction. you are biased if you dont educate yourself and protect tyrants just because you perceive grown men to be infants you need to speak for and protect because of their colour
It really.... Wasn't though...
@spary5751 youre ignorant. It was malthusian method. A famine means no food. There was plenty of food
God bless the victims 🙏 I am glad you spoke about this. I think maybe the government should have been looked at the man closely and take drastic measures with regards to him. I know the man who helped to rescue the victims so we shouldn't forget that as well. I support Ireland and I think you spoke really well on this ❤
Garron, you are one decent man.
I just love Garron, I think he's thoughtful,kind and hilarious.Thanks for your voice
Yes he is all of those, but also naive.
We have the same problems going on here in America. I personally want to apologize because of my country and it's proxy wars You guys unfortunately get the refugee problem while we don't lift a finger to help. Not that I'm saying refugees shouldn't be allowed to seek asylum. I'm just saying if my country wasn't constantly messing around in places where it doesn't need to be, we wouldn't have people fleeing their homes because of civil war and unrest.
👏👏👏🇮🇪
This has nothing to do with right-wing americans, you clown you dichotomy does nit apply to european politics.
Ireland is for the Irish , which is literally the point of the free state.
The rulers make money off of war. We have our own immigration problems in the US it’s a catastrophe!!
You're not the only ones. Russia is actively creating the migrant crisis.
Your country will never truly lose it's way with people like you in it
Straight in there, Garron, good man. You said it better than most. ❤
Very well said, thanks for the update on your local situation.
Just amazing. I love your funny videos. But this truth is absolutely needed, bringing sense and calm to the situation. Thank you for sharing.
I can't believe this only has a thousand likes. All very well put. There hasn't been a sentiment as well gathered and encapsulated since someone put an egg inside a shell. Legend.
You have made some reasonable points and I agree the Irish have a justifiable empathy towards others fleeing persecution, war etc. However, there are two very important issues, namely scale and assimilation. As a small country Ireland can’t have a policy of receiving unlimited numbers of migrants, be they genuine asylum seekers or economic migrants. Secondly, one must differentiate between those embracing or adding to the Irish culture and those wishing to replace it. Add to this the problems facing many Irish people with basic needs seemingly being ignored and increasing incidence of migrant related crime, there is a recipe for extremism to arise. A governments first responsibility is to its own people and this must take precedence.
I cannot like this more. Love🕊️❗️
Idd imagine doing background checks on these MALE imigrants, would go a long way to helping! No papers, no entrance
Well done, Sir. As an American expat in Dublin, we appreciate all the great Irish people. Perhaps a missed opportunity to claim victory over the Luas! 😂
Coming to this quite late obviously but thank you for you point of view, your clarity, your absolutely on point...wish I saw more of this on social media.
I had no idea of these events from here in Australia, but i choose not to watch the news for my mental health. Thanks Garron. Would love to visit Ireland someday.
Wise words! This is such an articulate, rational and fair assessment. You are a talented and compassionate young man. Well done, Garron.
Coming from war torn countries with serious mental health issues our mental health services cannot cope. We have own people with mental health issues. I've witness serious assaults on kids in after school care whereby social workers have place seriously disturbed kids from other countries. We need be aware of the numbers and what we can cope with
Mate, coming to this late. Beautiful sentiments, knew you were one of the good ones 🤘
Smashing to hear your thoughts and feelings. We share the same over in England. Terribly sad 😢
Well said, I agree with everything you said and think there should be a Citizens Assembly on ownership and development of land and property & infrastructure in Ireland from a socio economic and environmental and constitutional change point of view. Oxygen is the best antiseptic but only if hate and bigotry are ruled out.
Thank you, Garron. ❤️
Thank you for saying g this Garron. My husband and children are Irish but I am not (tho hopefully will be soon!) And I love the Irish and the welcome I have gotten. ❤

He is not Charles J Haughey. A master in double speak.
Labour need to bring fourth legislation that prohibits all forms of Corruption by MP's in Parliament and the house of Lords
🇮🇪🇪🇺
What a healthy way of looking at things. You're a good man, Garron.
Very level headed. So many people are talking just to hear the sound of their own voice. Your measured commentary is a breath of fresh air.
Really good points and appreciate the serious episode. I wouldn’t have known about this otherwise (from the US).
Lived in co. Tyrone until ,,8 years old (during the troubles,) immigrated to Canada now living in mexico but my heart is still in Ireland
Sad about recent events
You are a credit to your parents...So good to listen to you Garon You are a good Irish man
An excellent, balanced, and articulate critique of the situation.
As a fellow Irishman living in the southeast of the country, I fully agree with you.
Were you ever to become inclined towards politics, you'd get my backing and vote.
All the best.
Usually I gotta keep swiping up to get this much Garren content 😅 Appreciate ya and keep sharing shit. Both long and short versions of shit please 👍
I watch all your videos garron. Only came across this one tonight. Lovely listening to you.
Very well said, Garron. Thank you
Garron for PM!! ❤
For all of his humorous videos Garron also shows he's a thoughtful and intelligent young man!
Very well put, a lot of people ignoring the issues behind the riots or pretending they justify what happened!
Thank you for this, wow, as a Canadian living on the US border I struggle to gather my thoughts without frustration and anger when I see extreme hostility and rage in our politics, nearly half a century here, it’s not our way. I know we have massive economic struggles and people are desperate and tired. Emotions are high. Still I can see so much of the manner and rage seems to spill over, from our neighbours, and is upsetting. I feel badly for our neighbours, such a beautiful country filled with so many wonderful people too. This division, that is consumed all over, it’s poison. Thank you for your words, my parents are immigrants to Canada and I’m born and raised here. They were the proudest and most hard working Canadians. Immigrants can build a country in incredible ways.
Very thoughtful and on-point and timely, also for all of us who watch from elsewhere.
Glad to see the his side of ye.
Off to find a food vid of yours to lighten it up a bit.
Thoughtful and well said.
Well said, I pray for healing for the family and for Ireland.
I want 100% agree with you kind sir.❤❤❤
Man, I'm sorry about that situation that went on, things like that are hard there's always a "what if" that happen afterwards on situations that happen that shock anybody, yeah sorry bout that all you guys are going through. My prayers are with you guys
I'm a 73 year old Dublin women. I find you very funny. Love your accent. 😂😂😂
You make a lot is sense !! I love your videos! I love to hear your point of view ❤This is very sad 😢
Very well said, Garron. Thanks for taking the time to share your views. ❤️
Agree with everything you said Garron
Stick with funny, Garron!
Your diagnosis is mostly accurate, but needs a follow up therapy:
We need careful selection of those who come, and careful management of how many we can properly absorb into society and infrastructure.
Nilly willy anyone is welcome is a very bad strategy....
I am am immigrant myself
Mostly no way to vett these people. Most have no or they ditch their papers.
Another fully consenting immigrant here:
I care fanatically for asylum FOR THOSE WHO DESERVE IT.
I.e. bishop Tutu, Julian Assange, Snowdon and the likes.
The rest has to go asap
@@louisewilliams1258people like that shouldn't be allowed out into the public after they arrive
Your VOICE! I got goosebumps ❤
Well said. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I’d say what you said is relevant to the current situation in most if not all the world. Keeping a level head and love in our collective hearts will determine how this all ends up. Good point about the value the Irish immigrants have brought to the countries they have sought refuge in. Where would the world be without the Irish? Either utterly lost or at the very least debilitatingly board I’d say!
well said, Im not irish ,my wife is. you said exactly the things I love about ireland and irish people.
Man the 500th like form DJ Shea I love you simply because you are amazing pity we have to deal with this xxx but you my friend make this world a better place ;) just by being you.
Very well said Garron. I think your view is shared by a large number of silent Irish people. We need to speak up and speak out against hate to make the world the wonderful place it should be.
Garron you need to speak out as people listen to you. Britain is in a helluva state with such a real government but Ireland stay strong. Keep on being delicious garron.
