It’s almost as if it wasn’t the Greens were the problem at all. The reality is until we come up with a system of processing applications faster we need to find places to house asylum seekers. We’re not alone either. The refugee crisis is being felt all over Europe.

What has he actually proposed though? To me that is just 8 minutes of waffle about how we don’t have enough house, school places, GPs etc etc. how is he proposing that we limit population growth? Immigration is only one aspect of it.

The population growth is largely driven by immigration. If you stop immigration then population growth stops.
He's suggesting you lower immigration by completely focusing on targeted immigration aka only allowing people who the economy desperately need at the moment and stopping everyone else.
When the infrastructure catches up you can release the break somewhat again.
It's what's necessary to stop the societal problems such as homelessness but for a variety of reasons it won't be done.

Ballintemple " Co Cork ".

Well that says it all as to where that guy does not hail from

He's a southside man. Worked with him years ago.

The ballintemple thing is a Google error.

I used to do deliveries before, and some places around the southside, and even parts of town used to have the address, followed by ballintemple.

Never knew why, but always thought it was weird.

What address is it so, it's always been Ballintemple in my lifetime.

I agree the numbers entering the country are a problem however the last census was the first of recent times where natural population growth was exceeded by net inward migration. The irony is a lot of the infrastructure improvements needed require immigrants coming in to fill skills gaps that exist.

Ballintemple is and has been in the City for generations not the bloody County.

It always seems to be a case of anywhere in Cork that has a neighbourhood name like Ballintemple / Togher / Ballyphehane are usually referred to as County Cork by dip shits who are obviously not familiar with this place

Ah I see, it's the Co Cork part you're on about ( FrispY confused me ).
Originally it was a separate village outside the City but is now included.
