Immigration Thread

[Padraig Mor]

Genuine question, we keep hearing this.
Can anyone post the legislation which says that Ireland and EU Countries have to accept huge numbers of non eu refugees / asylum seekers?

How are Denmark getting away with looking at a zero asylum seeker policy?

‘Zero asylum seekers’: Denmark forces refugees to return to Syria

Ireland has the same exemption as Denmark. Denmark use theirs. Ireland chooses not to.

State spending over €42m a month on refugee accommodation centres

All told some €42,191,896 is being paid to private providers across the country for the use of 180 centres of varying natures

In excess of half a billion a year.

Whatever about this enormous figure, the waste is something else. Ashbourne House could have been purchased for a fraction of the fees paid to rent it.

Think of if they spent €42m per month since 2016 to help Irish homeless where we'd be.
Instead, last year, they underspent by €1bn in the worst housing crisis in our history.

I was listening to some interview on Morning Ireland earlier.
The typical RTE liberal brigade, funny how there seems to always be a one sided take on things in that institution.
Basically it seems that anyone who has an issue, asks questions, raises concerns and daft stuff like that is a right wing radical.
There is something very wrong here if people cannot ask questions or dare to object.

Is O'Gorman a Russian agent trying to destabilise the country from within?

Genuine question.

Genuine question.

It would need to be stable in the first place.

Sadly no. Just a massive incompetent whose woke teenager idealism has come crashing down against hard reality. Good to see a newspaper point out the obvious about him and MacEntee's actions but the rest of them are just as culpable. The government turned a blind eye to this until the inevitable consequences of their actions were too obvious to ignore.

That article from the Times is rather damning, but one detail in it may have passed over the heads of some on here :

It would also set the stage for the collapse of social cohesion across the country as the flow of migrants into Europe is expected to rise in the coming years, driven by interstate conflict, climate change and the desire of people to better their lives.

“People migrate for all sorts of reasons. But at least 20 million have been migrating each year since 2008 as a result of climate change alone,” said Diarmuid Torney, an expert on climate change at Dublin City University. “But if you fast forward to 2050, that figure might be one billion.

“Parts of the Indian and African continent who are heavily populated are likely to become uninhabitable. We can’t allow ourselves to think they will go to Germany and we will be protected by our geographical location,” he said. “The arrival of refugees and those simply seeking a better life is not going to stop any time soon.”

^^^One billion climate refugees on the move by 2050, movements of people at anything like those numbers will lead to the collapse of our cushy western way of life, and these people are going to come here whether we like it or not. We could see mass movements of people in a westward direction long before 2050, in fact, it's already happening.

Despite all this climate is low down on the list of priorities for Irish people and the one party that takes the issue seriously gets sneered at on a constant basis.

Having said that, O'Gorman is totally out of his depth.
