Great to see people slowing waking up to mass immigration impact. The delicate flowers at the Irish Times appear shocked by the results. Its easy when the media and Goverment ignore people's concerns because they would be branded a racist or the far right for there views.

It’s like you glanced at the article, ignored the content, then proceeded to make a thread to suit your own agenda that has nothing to do with the actual survey.

That’s some talent.

By contrast, Ireland seems to be in a good place. Even with no parliamentary majority, the Government has been remarkably stable. Unemployment is relatively low. The Troubles remain a bad memory, albeit one that is prone to painful recurrence.
There has been a tentative but real recovery from the great banking and property crash of 2008 – the “lost decade” is officially over. The big internal political events of recent years – the referendums on same-sex marriage and abortion – were less divisive than most people thought they would be and produced clear majorities for progressive change.
Indeed, viewed through the wide-angle lens of history, it is hard to think of a time when Ireland was apparently more free of angst.

47% feel we are losing our identify because of foreign national influx, this will only grow so yes immigration will be a big political issue in the coming years particularly when Goverment is taking thousands of economic migrants and signing the migration pact.

The title was also lifted directly from the IT.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. The Armagedden is on its way.

Here's where I hit the post button a second time due to impatience.
