They have land borders with 9 countries. We have a land border with 1 and for various reasons we cannot setup border posts on that border.

Other countries taking specific actions doesn’t mean others are doing more than we are.

Other countries taking specific actions doesn’t mean others are doing more than we are.

From what I can see, this is a huge issue , if not the most important issue to a lot of countries in continental Europe with a lot of countries scrambling to get a control on it and limit the damage done by reckless ideologues.

Some of the naive woker politicians still won't accept it but voters will force main parties to change their tune or risk becoming dust. This is already happening in Germany, Netherlands.

Other similar countries will adapt soon enough. Ireland will be forced by its eloctorate to tighten up also albeit kicking and screaming by the usual vacuum inhabiting politicians. It's inevitable.

The facts are our economy is going very well, there are jobs out there that younger generations no longer want to do.
We do need immigration, but we have to control it, we cannot take in the world and it's mother

It’s a Europe wide issue and it needs a Europe wide response. There’d be chaos on the continent if every country started re-installing physical border checks.

The UK and Ireland have unique challenges and the UK have seen that even a Government who was seen to be tougher on refugees could only achieve so much. People have been dying on boats for years. No doubt our Government could be doing a better job in terms of processing times etc but we’re kidding ourselves if we think this is an easy fix. Politicians who claim to have all the answers are pulling the wool over the electorate.

On two separate radio interviews yesterday MLMD was pressed on her stance that only affluent areas should take migrants,
She was asked about the criteria, Both interviewers said her criteria would be an issue for the vast majority of areas, i.e re GPs,
schools, Public transport, She disputed this,
