I don't watch Irish TV so cannot comment on the level of reportage on that link.
However , I'm down in the deep SW of Ireland in an area that has changed little in decades.
Old values and traditions are upheld and people are considerate , helpful and very giving .
There is an undercurrent of hushed displeasure at the increasing numbers of young predominantly male immigrants that have been housed in several local hotels and institutions .
It's noticeable that there is also a significant increase in young three children + families .
All of these that I have encountered have been mannerly and friendly but the inherent conservative nature of the Irish as a whole is being tested by the influx of asylum seekers from the sub continent and eastern Europe .
Add to this the wave of refugees that have arrived from Ukraine and the situation becomes extremely difficult in regards to housing and amenities.
They now see the threat to their culture that many of us have warned others about for many years .
I infrequently visit the main town now but upon my last visit I could not help but notice the change in the ethnic origins of the shoppers , it was stark proof of the change that is rapidly occurring even in this remote area of the world .
You can't put the toothpaste back in the tube so the next twenty years will be " interesting " then those of you that are still here will be f\/cked .....
