Are you happy with the direction Ireland is heading in?

Have the EU full control over everything? is our leaders just faces for the real masters in Brussels?

No.

I don't think so, though I'm loath to say more as you'll just call me a liberal or leftist.

What do you think yourself. I may then agree with your well reasoned points.

Rodney Bathgate

No.

We need proper border control and start we need to deport all bogus asylum seekers (ie economic migrants who claim to be asylum seekers).

The EU have no control. Member states agree and decide, and the subsiduarity principle applies.

Jesus Don, did you suffer some particularly bad experience in the last week that has made you so angry and bitter?

Smee_Again

Yes, we have some obvious issues, housing, health, low level trolls, but for the most part life in Ireland is better now than it was 20, 30 or more years ago.

You must be living in a totally different Ireland or even world to me then. Either you are unaware or just going with whatever law is put before you.

We did this earlier, are you having a breakdown or looking to get banned?

Rodney Bathgate

Seeing all those lads crossing over to Dover, knowing that half of them are probably making their way here as we type these messages. Frightening.

Is this not just a rehash of a thread you already ranted on?

https://touch.boards.ie/thread/2058103084/1

Change the record, go outside get some fresh air, ride your bf/gf and let go of the bitterness.

If you want discussion, let's!
Lay out your issues and actually engage, rather than your usual rant and run.

No I'm not happy in the direction that we're heading we've gone too far to the right so we need a big swing back to the left before we all turn into Trump supporting racists.

Yes......rugby is in terminal decline here

Yes, Covid crisis aside. Keeping closer to Europe in the wake of Britain’s exit should shield us from the ill “effects” of the, inevitable, downturn in their economy.

An overhaul of our immigration system is badly needed. Having people rotting in “centres”, for years at a time, has to end. The sooner we get them in the sooner they can meaningfully contribute to the economy.

It generally is controlled, majority of cases anyway

We successfully deport a small fraction of the people whose asylum application is rejected. We do not have control.

Are you serious? Ireland has turned into a liberal dump who have taken over everything. The reason the country is going down the toilet rapidly.

Well some people would think that the direction ireland is heading is to do with people turning away from religion. I wanted to know are you religious, but then thought you couldn’t be as you hate being told what to do.

Record numbers of children homeless. Record numbers of homeless. A housing and health crises only brought down in number recently because of Covid. This is the direction we continue in. We're not all eating out of bins by any means be we are breaking records yearly on such things. We have so much potential despite incompetence and cronyism in government(s). We need work on balancing having the fifth highest number of billionaires per capita in the world with record breaking social crises.
Just watch for a new quango before the end of the year.

Not one bit. It would not surprise me in the slightest if there are Muslim and African rape gangs swept under the covers operating right now as we speak in Ireland just like the ones in Huddersfield, Rotherham and Rochdale.

When did it become boards.ie moderation policy to delete posts without any explanation???

I am on here long enough to know that this is a very recent and worrying development.

If there is a problem with a post... By all means delete it... But leave a mod message explaining why it was deleted, or impose a mod action if required.

But this way of simply deleting a post as if it never existed is cowardly in that you do not have to be accountable for your actions.

Not good enough mods.!

Again, step away from the american nonsense, it's currently a political basket case, it has become a de-politicised country, leading to a highly toxic swamp, including its misuse of political language

You do realise our issues have little or nothing to do with the foreigners, the dole scroungers and those that fail to engage in personal responsibility?

What a ridiculous thread to start. Such negativity towards the eu and the Irish government. It’s not like Ireland has a Taoiseach who thinks sovereignty is a backwards way of thinking....
Wait, what’s that?

I think for myself, and after research come up with my own conclusions, we have to in this day and age. We cannot just believe everything the box in the corner tells us. Well since you brought up religion (not me) Ireland is now a secular state, our leaders are all Godless, their actions have proven that. Like many rich and powerful people they think they'll never need God and can control everything. Not how things work, but hey that's just MY opinion.

So are you religious? I couldn’t believe that you could follow a belief about god being in a tabernacle just because it’s written in a book but not believe medical experts who can back things up with evidence. Jaysus, my mind is blown.
