The next Government

[Crankycorner]

A friend of mine once said to me, he’d prefer a corrupt good politician, than an honest poor politician.

Reality is most people have no problem with political corruption so long as they benefit from it themselves.

A lot of people see all politicians as corrupt anyway, even squeaky clean ones.

O Gorman has acknowledged that there is an immigration crisis. Christ they are quick out of the blocks with that. Might they be jumping the gun a bit.

Seriously are they fuckin slow?

Roderic and McEntee are definitely in a race to the bottom of the
brains barrel.

So here we go again. This government try to slip through the EU migration and accommodation pact with no information and little debate while they take their holidays.

We have an opt out clause but they're trying to lock us in to a pact that will see us pay a 20k penalty for every asylum seeker we refuse.
On top of the referendums that they pushed, and got hammered on, they are completely out of touch with the feelings of the Irish people on this.





This government needs to go now.

It is like the captain of the titanic saying we could be in trouble here as the ship hit the iceberg,

Are you referring to the legislation that is in every major newspaper and was the first item on the news last night? That's what you consider them trying to "slip through" legislation?

It currently takes an average of 19 months for asylum decisions to be made which is just plain daft.

19 focking months................

Department of Integration officials acknowledge that asylum arrivals will continue to rise over the coming 18 months. But it is hoped these numbers will level out once more streamlined processing times, which are set to be implemented as part of the EU pact, come into effect.

The pact focuses on tackling the secondary movement of asylum seekers, where a person moves from the first European country they enter to another, and applies for asylum.

At present, an estimated 50 to 70 per cent of international asylum seekers arriving in Ireland have travelled from another European country.

The pact’s border procedure will also aim to have asylum decisions made within 12 weeks regarding people who irregularly cross an EU border without documentation or through using false documentation, or who come from so-called “safe countries”.

Decisions on those who arrive in the State having already secured asylum in another European country will be made within two months. Those fleeing war, conflict or persecution will receive a decision on their case within six months, according to Department of Justice officials.


What is not to like?

When does it go through?
There will be just a week for this to be debated in both houses when they come back. I believe we give a guarantee of taking in and housing 16000 per year and some other country will get to decide who we take in.
We currently can't house our own Matlock and these poor misfortunates that we have taken in are at the side of roads in tents.

But yes let's lock ourselves into something we have already proved we cannot manage.
