    There's a small group of fascist nutters putting those posters up all over town. Other political groups have been encouraging the public to remove the posters when spotted.

    Never said it was ok, the OP just asked if that type of behaviour was evident in other places. It is.

    At the minute,this kind of makes sense, no? We cant afford immigrants at this point in time,we certainly should not be letting more in,the job market is saturated with irish people seeking employment. by allowing more in we are pushing natives out,so i find the ubber liberal responses to this thread infuriating,im liberal but not at a cost to our country.

    I think this is a brilliant idea. We can start by having the entire Irish Diaspora (including their offspring/grandchildren) move back to Ireland, so as our 'culture' isn't polluting whatever country the left for.

    Then we can have an Ireland for ALL of the Irish.

    So what exactly are you trying to say here, pal? That it'd be way off the mark to claim any racist shenanigans are at play here?



    Let me help you out: this is absolutely an example of the actions of racists.

    Should we be allowing our "natives" to seek work elsewhere?

    Should Dublin be allowing non Dubs to take all our jobs?

    So what if it is.
    I still to this day don't understand why it's a problem being a racist.
    I hate half the white irish people I know. Does that make me a racist??
    I dislike certain cultures and internationals because the majority of them I've met were complete pricks.
    So evedently that makes me a racist but everyone in the fcuking world is a racist.
    I won't lose sleep over it.
    Been the way for thousands of years. Move on

    yep bringing all 80odd million of them back would be interesting. the country would be the most densely populated country in the world.

    Given we can barely keep the country going with 4 mill, 80mill would result in a famine inside a month

    immigrants are cheaper than home grown folks

    reasons why?

    1. home grown can get social welfare / immigrants need to work at least 2 years before being able to make a claim on welfare.

    2. home grown workers want more pay than immigrants for doing the same jobs

    The irish are going to wealthy countries with a strong employment rate,it would be a different story if we were all going to greece in fairness.

    Compared to where a lot of immigrants come from, Ireland is a wealthy country with a strong employment rate.

    Why would anyone say it's xenophobic or racist or anything like that?

    Surely a poster like this could only be the workings of a fine political mind with a well thought out argument to back it all up......

    We need em, otherwise new pram and car sales would fall flat since the gubbermint is paying for new maseratis and free prams for every bus ride.

    Ps...Is "I'm a liberal but" the new "I'm not racist but..."

    "Ubber" Nonsense.

    Its competition with a different accent. Every polish person in this country only has a job because apparently they are working for pittance, none of the millions were actually more equipped to do the job. Its a lazy attitude to try get rid of non nationals so the job market wont be so dense, put that energy into getting a job!

    Rubbish, most people on the dole would take minimum wage work, unless you mean the employers are paying non national less then minimum wage because as you say have to wait 2 yrs, so taken advantage of.

    I worked as security in a shopping center,dunnes store's in newbrigde had one position available as a shelf packer,we had 1400 Cv's,so please dont try and blame the people,as its the governments fault!

    Because it AH.

    I'd say it's more in the mind-numbingly stupid category.

    The sort of sad arsewipe that prints up posters like this is probably not the brightest tool in the box. But then again, they're mostly too cowardly to actually put their names on them so it's hard to tell.

    alot of those on the dole wont work for minimum wages because they would be worse off at present.

    they would lose the rent allowance, medical card, have to pay for child care if applicable, have travel costs to get to and from work.

    Lots of the replies to this thread would give you great faith in the future of the internet, ridiculing is the answer to a lot of posts.

    There is a theory that one of the reasons fascism did not catch on in Brittan is the British sense of ridicule. i.e men all dressed in black goose stepping around was laughed at in the UK, but was accepted in Europe.
