The Lisdoonvarna Asylum Seekers

    In this week's edition of The Clare Champion, the asylum seekers housed in The King Thomond Hotel, Lisdoonvarna, Co Clare tell their story. I have never read such ' cock and bull ' stories. One asylum seeker from Kuwait ( the 4th richest country in the world) came here because her husband is from Bahrain. An asylum seeker from Zimbabwe came here because of the lack of LGBT rights in her country even though she is not gay! An asylum seeker from Nigeria, who has spent years in the UK described Lisdoonvarna as a " dead end " and hopes to get out of there as soon as possible! How dare she speak like that! A lady from Albania is here because she fell out with her boyfriend!
    Asylum seeking is the greatest scam ever to be perpetrated against the Irish people. Thanks to the Clare Champion, the scammers are exposed for what they are.

    We can't discuss an article we can't see. There is no corresponding story available on the papers website.

    Went to school in Lisdoon. "Dead end" is a fcuking compliment, believe me.

    More and more everyday, it seems. The only thing that suffers is the level of quality discussion on this site :(

    Rereg whinges about foreigners. It's pretty much every day now.

    I meant the stormfronters in Lisdoonvarna, not on boards!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,952 ✭✭✭brevity


    I'm sure, in a message board on the other side of the world, there are people giving out about Irish people coming over and causing hassle or being a nuisance.

    It's the way the world works. People travel. Some are nice, some are dickheads, some don't have opportunities in their country and are trying to do their best.

    I don't see the issue really.

    They obviously needed some new blood for the match-making festival after the last bachelor in the town married a russian ex-glamour model, he was only 73.

    You think that’s bad, they had to build a runway for Jackson Browne, just to get him down.

    Complete waste of tax payers money.

    A total of 93% voted to reject the arrival of Direct Provision in the town so almost all of the place is racist nazis.


    At a public meeting in the Pavilion, Lisdoonvarna, on February 23, King Thomond Hotel proprietor Marcus White said that he would listen to the views of local people, if they were opposed to Direct Provision or the arrival of asylum seekers.

    On February 28, a secret ballot of parish residents was held in the Pavilion.
    A total of 93% voted 197 to 15, to reject the arrival of Direct Provision in the town.

    However, the Direct Provision contract was subsequently signed by Mr White, who did not attend that meeting.

    Is it really a shock that most of these "asylum seekers" and "refugees" are ingrates and shouldn't be here?

    Strange conclusion to draw from that but you're entitled to your opinion I guess?

    if that is the case, they will be sent back, so you have nothing to worry about.

    I'm very highly educated. I know words, i have the best words, nobody has better words then me.

    Probably because they can't...


    http://www.clare.fm/news/lisdoonvarna-school-can-apply-additional-supports-department/


    The Department of Education says it will continue to engage with Lisdoonvarna National School as it deals with an influx of pupils from the recently opened direct provision centre there.
    However, it’s stopping short of providing called-for additional supports.
    Thus far, only a half-time language teaching post has been allocated and Junior Education Minister Mary Mitchell O’Connor says the school can continue to apply for more supports.




    But yeah, tell the locals that they're racists because they suspected they were about to become a poorly resourced dumping ground for migrants, and their children's classrooms turned into a half arsed language school, which no doubt you'd be more then happy to send your kids.

    I have no idea what the net worth of a Simpson's script writer would be but it is doubtful they live alongside any kind of newcomer. Long may they afford to laugh at ordinary Americans.

    Don't worry OP they are not 'refugees' - their cases have yet to be processed. The liars and fraudsters will be dealt with in time.

    Trust in our systems. Each one that gets chucked back out will spread the word that we are not soft. Fantastic work has been done with Operation Vantage.

    Irish people who lie to enter other countries deserve all they get too. Stink of entitlement off these types.

    If there are genuine cases in Lisdoonvarna, we'll find them too. They will be assets for us in time.

    Unless they indefinitely appeal, go off the radar, or find an alternative means of gaining residency rights in the meantime.

    I couldn't find it anywhere online. Seems odd for the OP to be telling porkies (apologies if I'm wrong), when the very real story of sham marriages is currently in the news. Over 1000 Pakistani and Bangladeshi men paying €20K to marry eastern european women who don't live in Ireland for marriage in order to gain permanent residency here.

    Seeing that that scam was so blatant, I wonder how many less blatant ones there are.

    Well, okay, here's a pretty obvious one: how many non-eu people do you see working full time in jobs that you can't obtain a work visa for? Lots.

    A new reg with an unsubstantiated anti immigrant tale?

    Of course it's made up. What asylum seeker would come out with those lame stories anyway?

    Hey, I was just helping you.
    Your comment about Lisdoonvana having stormfront/Breitbart boyos shows you think town have some problems.
    Apparently they do, but Mr White went against them and managed single-handed bring Direct Provision to Lisdoonvarna.

    There were literally a bunch of Breitbart boyos, from Dublin, in Lisdoon at the start of the year, putting up posters, going in to pubs asking people if they were local, generally pussing people off. I think you're dying for someone to say the town is full of racists. Nobody has, I certainly wouldn't.

    The lot of ye are like kids badly prepared for OL Irish or something "Oh this is the general topic, I'll say these sentences"

    and I bet the local shops have no complaints about all the extra supplies etc they are selling.

    They are never sent back and you know it!

    If anywhere could use a little more water for it's gene pool, it's Lisdoonvana.
