    Can you name the Refugee who invented the system, I'll rightly condemn him / here right here.

    Also not all Refugees that get rejected by the system are bogus, decisions have been reversed on Judicial review.

    All the genuine refugee & asylum seekers are getting held up because there are so many bogus claims. Theres no wars in Georgia, Albania, Pakistan but they are the top 3 refugee, asylum claims

    Perhaps the odd case on a technicality, however 90% is a rather high rate is it not. You could say such a rate indicates a phonema of delibate fraud.

    This in turn, means for any genuine cases, their places have instead been taken by someone of unsound morals, seeking simply to benefit economically.

    We are part of the EU, we have no choice, also there is skills a shortage - these roles need to be filled, we need to look beyond the EU for these, which we are doing in great numbers.

    The question I suppose would be, why would a reasonable person be against that?

    We do have a choice. Under Lisbon 2 we have the option to opt out of receiving any non EU migrants from Europe. Try again.

    And Italy has their right to turn away ships, Poland & the V4 maintain their choices to refuse, all while being in the EU.

    If the EU wants to split apart further (post-Brexit), it may pressure these countries, if it so chooses.

    Italy have now overtaken Greece as the next likely to leave.

    Because you are looking strictly at the cost and not the value.

    But I agree with you, our governance decided to privatize the problem, it's an absolute disgrace.

    The value of the asylum seekers landing here to Ireland is not a positive one, at best it is neutral, there is no value in our small island off western europe taking even a single asylum seeker.

    I disagree, it certainly is of value to them.

    But again I refer you to the data you provided the thread, we only take in a minuscule amount and reject the vast majority of them.

    I don't see why all the panic from our Nationalists.

    So the state to a point are looking after you? You are doing okay?

    I disagree on the housing Q, I definitely think it should be flexible and people in far more need should get to jump it.

    That said I'm not seeing any tangible evidence of people who have been granted a stay being handed newly built houses and €13k immediately on finishing the process.

    If anything according to recent reports the opposite is true.

    There's a great deal of sectarian violence in pakistan, against Shia and minority shia groupings in particular. Christians also.

    Well wait until theres 40-80 men dropped into a hotel near you during the middle of the night & see how you feel after a few months
    It is better nip it in the bud early before it becomes an irreversible problem

    That is some pretty exact detail, surely this would be published somewhere.

    Exceptional needs payments are well documented you will come across plenty of information in the state benefits forum for fitting out social housing .

    Can't explain the car payment I'm expecting the whole irrational fear of brown people claim (at least have the testicular fortitude to call people racists )

    Well there are plenty of Irish living in hotels or B&B's around the country waiting for homes only for the houses to go to the refugees
    Why not place the refugees in the hotels & give those waiting the houses

    Those are well known, documented and are available to irish citizens. Various parties here seem to be referring to something else - a something else they can provide no links or reference too.

    So why come all this way when they could easily go to India or Bangladesh?
    Pakistan is 10 times the size or Ireland so I'm sure finding a safe place wouldn't be too hard either

    India isn't exactly harmonious with christians and muslims either. The Ahmadi Muslims are regarded by Sunnis as heretical, so bangladesh wouldn't be too much of an improvement.

    Who said there was anyone driving around? Mr Anecdote? Not the most reliable source in the world is Mr Anecdote.

    just limit people to one appeal. still allows for natural justice and prevents them languishing in limbo for years.

    Don't think they should limit it to 1, but an appeal should be to correct something that happened in the original judgement not a do over with some new angle.

    If a translator wasn't provided for an important step, or immigration services lost/didn't submit some important piece of documentation.

    Not that they forgot to mention they were Christian, and when that didn't work they announced they were gay the whole time but forgot to mention it.

    I.e. 90% of applicants are fake^ (bar the odd exception after many appeals), failing the applicaiton means they are simply economic migrants seeking selfish fiscal benefits at the expense of genuine cases, who's place they've taken.

    Not panic. Simply reasonable well-founded^ concerns, as per Italy, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and so on.

    The refugees including the ones granted remain to stay are housed in Direct Provision mostly.

    Do you think you and your migrant wife should be made vacate your current rented property to let a family living in a hotel that are ahead of you on the social housing list move in?

    I am in private rented accommodation so thats different, but you already know that
    Refugees are being put in houses around the country ahead of those in hotels & b&b's that have been on the housing list longer

    Thats the problem with most of the appeals.

    A portion of which is paid for by the HAP scheme.

    Yes, you are more fortunate than other Irish people who may have been evicted, etc.

    But you are talking about fairness. My question is only a logical extension to your own beliefs.

    So would it not be fair if you and your migrant wife moved out of your state sponsored house for a bit and let a more needy Irish family in there?

    I'm in no way trolling.

    But at some stage you will have to back up your assertions with some actual tangible data.

    Above all else, it's just good manners.

    So why can't the shia in Pakistan seek asylum in Iran? That's a shia country and a lot nearer to Pakistan than Ireland anyway the majority of Pakistanis I've met here in Ireland are Sunni.

    OK so we move out, to where? Live on the street or hotel/B&B?
    That isn't fixing the problem
    Giving the person less well off a house IS fixing the problem

    Oops !

    African nationals living in Ireland have a higher unemployment rate than other migrants and Irish people.

    The new study from the Economic and Social Research Institute has examined how well migrants are settling in the country.

    It has found that 16% of Africans living in Ireland are out of work, compared with 4% of people from western European countries.

    The employment rate for Africans in Ireland was also very low at 45%, while 66% of Irish nationals were working.

    Lead author of the report, Dr Frances McGinnity, said the findings were concerning in relation to immigrants from Africa, whereas people from Europe and North America had high levels of employment and educational attainment and were performing very well in the Irish labour market.

    The research also found that consistent poverty rates were highest for non-EU nationals at 29% compared with 8% for Irish people.


    https://www.rte.ie/news/2018/1107/1009164-esri_migrants/

    Being out of job does not equate laziness. That article is so poorly written.
    I just read the whole report there. This is why i always doubt everything that is in the news.
    The RTE article just picked out elements of the reports that will generate clicks.

    It fails to highlight the percentage of the Africans are pursuing higher education.
    the high percentage of Africans are likely to have higher education.
    RTE should report on why are they unemployed? education, social skills.
    Are they even getting interviews?
