A Fox News segment claimed Dublin has become one of Europe's most dangerous cities, sparking controversy in Ireland. Former Prime Minister Leo Varadkar fact-checked the claims, revealing that the data used was questionable and sourced from a survey aimed at nightlife rather than crime statistics. Ireland's Department of Justice stated there is no credible link between immigration and crime, despite rising crime statistics presented by Fox. The segment coincided with a rise in hate crimes against South Asian migrants, fueled by misinformation.
