    This one's for you, saad ed and your delusional ilk. More propaganda from the media I suppose. The most dangerous thing you can do is deny there's a problem.


    What had the incident to do with Luas?

    The amount of foreign nationals working for the luas was quite shocking I thought they would have more irish nationals

    When the Luas started the only people they could get to take the jobs were immigrants. There were no significant numbers of Irish jobseeking at the time.

    Didn't the blonde driver say over 400 went for open interviews to become a driver

    That's a lot of applicants

    You start on 35k and it's a unionized job. Pretty attractive

    I don't know what the ticket checkers and cleaning staff get. Not much more then 10 euro per hour I'd guess.

    Prove it. How do non EU citizens gain a visa for such a job? The DJEI claims transport operatives do not qualify for work permits.
