that + we can't let him speak as he might plant dangerous thoughts in minds of young people - they may start thinking critically!

Lol, I'm amazed they even considered inviting him.
He has long been known as anti-Catholic, which I would not think would play well in Ireland even now that the Irish have converted to money as the national religion.

It's not a coincidence that the person rejecting him is a woman.
In my experience, women are an order of magnitude more likely to demand obedience to feeling above facts.

his anti-Catholicism has never been a problem for progressives; problem for them is that Dawkins is consistent in his beliefs and has labeled Islam as the worst of religions, which is verboten in progressive circles.

The whole mood in Ireland is now pro-Trans, pro-EU, anti-Catholic, pro-Abortion, and pro-Immigration. Not just Sinn Fein but the main parties all embrace most of these items to a large degree.

So sorry for offending anybody by being offended, in anticipation of offense to hysterical, reactive, primitive sensibilities motivated by theocracy.

Is Islam Right about Women? should be the question anybody asks a Leftist complaining about Islamophobia.
90% of the time they'll cog diss it away, but eventually it will take a toll.

These statements read like computer generated 1984-style Orwellian "news".
cancel.generator.exe:
s"We have been unaware of Mr. ${cancelled} opinions on ${topic1} and ${topic2} and rescind the invitation."
lol there isn't even any mention of what his opinions supposedly are.

This is true. Very sad.
I was in Dublin a year ago and it was not an Irish city anymore, like John Cleese said about London. Not an English city anymore.

Yes, London's Muslim mayor agrees. The Mayor says London is not an English city, but is instead is an "International City."

I am not Irish nor British and I am disappointed in Ireland and Britain. Have people been injected with propofol on a mass scale?

Doesn't much matter. Europe is in a shit show and doesn't have the resources. The EU is going to devolve. It's going to get nasty. Might take 5-10 years but the EU is fucked. I'll eat these words if I'm wrong, but I'm 95% sure I'm right.

The College Historical Society (the Hist) has tonight rescinded its invitation to Richard Dawkins to address the society next year.
Auditor of the Hist Bríd O’Donnell announced the cancellation in a statement on her Instagram page, saying that she had been “unaware of Richard Dawkins’ opinions on Islam and sexual assault until this evening”, adding that the society “will not be moving ahead with his address as we value our members comfort above all else”.
“The invitation to Richard Dawkins to speak at the society was made by my predecessor and I followed up the invitation with limited knowledge of Mr. Dawkins”, O’Donnell said. “I had read his Wikipedia page and researched him briefly. Regretfully I didn’t look further into him before moving forward with the invitation.”
“I want to thank everyone who pointed out this valuable information to me”, O’Donnell added. “I truthfully hope we didn’t cause too much discomfort and if so, I apologise and will rectify it.”
“The comfort of our membership is paramount, and we will not be proceeding with Professor Dawkins address. I apologize for any distress caused by this announcement, and the Hist will continue to listen and adapt to the needs and comfort of students”, she added.
How this is different from religious zealots...
