Do you mean "Are there too many foreign nationals in Ireland"? If so, then yes.

Mr Benevolent

Someone take a guess at the country that the most foreign nationals come from. Go on, guess!

It's the UK. Didn't like that, did you?

You'd swear stormfront bought out boards.ie with all these threads.

As to the original question, I said no, but it's not accurate. The right answer is I don't know.

Those saying there are too many Foreigners in Ireland, are you advocating leaving the EU as well, or are EU Foreigners "better" foreigners?

Boskowski

Does the term 'foreign national' include EU citizens?

There's one too many JP_Liz in Ireland, imo.

There are too many non-working, non-EU, non-asylum seeking foreign nationals who get welfare payments each week.

Especially when there are non-EU, non-asylum seeking foreign nationals who worked since they got here, paid tax and now find themselves out of work and uneligible for social welfare.

Why on earth would he want to look suspiciously at a red-faced madman standing in his shop, talking to himself in weird, garbled language?

What's with these damn Pakistani sorts?

Diddy Kong

What about the amount of Irish in other countries all around the world? Should we look at Boards.OZ and Boards.USA to see if there are similar threads asking "Are there too many Irish here?".

Most "foreigners" that are here have proper work visa's or are members of the EU so have a right to come and work here.

OP, should we close our borders and keep them out so you can beat the recission?

Above is a fairly recent thread - has the recession made Irish people more racist?

Guess this thread right here proves the point. "Foreign nationals", for the love of God, where did that come from? This is essentially politically correct speak for "foreigners".

There's way too many posts on boards.ie about foreigners, foreign aid, and helping "outsiders" when we're low on the pocket ourselves.

As someone else here said, register yourself an account on Stormfront, then go over there and whinge about the death of homogenous Ireland.

This is After Hours, meant to be a laugh, wtf?

I particularly like Asian people...and Polish people. I prefer most foreign nationals to a particular group of folk whose houses have wheels.

Actually if we don't get a good mix of people in the Irish gene pool pretty soon we'll all be related. Just like...well you get the point.

People just love a good moan about 'the other' If it's not foreigners in Ireland then it would be a big moan about the Irish - Culchies or North/South dubs. It's human nature, it's not hatred it's just for the love of a good moan.

i don't feel undermined or threatened by foreign nationals and therefore i do not feel the need to be racist.

That's crap. This is good ol' fashioned scapegoating, as seen in Germany in the early '30s, in England in the late '70s, and at GAA pitches around the country.

Foreign people, travellers, gays, the opposite sex, the next parish on, the eejits in the class below you, your cousins, the other school/college, Jews, blacks...

People love a good scapegoat, but it's a dangerous thing. And I notice that the people who agree with the OP (or voted Yes in the poll) tend to be a lot less literate than the average boardsie.

Cursory glance through OPs posting history (snoopalicious) reveals that he/she is: a fan of WWE; distraught at the condition of 'Brave Jade'; likes Kelly Clarkson; need I go on?

In short, the perfect psychometric profile for latent racism.

Let the flaming proceed!
