This while "Naval taxi service" thing is a load of Bollix and you know it, many countries came together to help save thousands of people who were in the open sea in very dangerous craft, I suppose you would have just thrown them.a tow line and dragged them back across the oceans?

As for refugees, yes the Irish (many who were sick) were treated in centers on arrival in the US, many thousands are all over the world living illegally as "economic" immigrants but sure they're Irish so we won't talk about them

So, the Navy didn't leave Irish waters, and travel to the Mediterranean with express orders to pick up migrants? News to me.

Were the Irish in the US - either historically, or currently - given refugee status, with associated benefits, or not?

Who's talking about refugees?
I've already stated that I have no problem with genuine refugees, though I would expect them to integrate!

Did you read the link I posted?
Here's the relevant section, again:

More than half of the people now coming to Europe come from countries where you can assume they have no reason whatsoever to ask for refugee status... more than half, 60 per cent,” he told Dutch broadcaster NOS.

That information came from Frontex.

Yes, sorry for the off-topic chat. I got distracted.

The children from Calais shouldn't be coming. The money should be spent on Irish children instead.

275,000.00 per child. Ridic!

Zappone should be sent home with her tail between her legs.

Home to where? Shes an irish citizen

Anyhow taxi service has been done to death across several threads,

What departments should have a budget cut to fund these incoming 17 year olds

quoting is not working for me.

The IMO explicitly states this requirement in its International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea: “A master of a ship at sea, which is in a position to be able to provide assistance on receiving a signal from any source that persons are in distress at sea, is bound to proceed with all speed to their assistance.”

End Timberrrr quote.

The Irish Navy is not required to travel hundreds of kilometers in order to wait for distress calls.

That is what I said, and that is what you deliberately failed to comprehend.

It is you who is embarrassing himself.

The Irish Navy could come home and ignore the calls. That would be consistent with the law, and consistent with the purpose of the Irish Navy.

Sure, if we were talking about economic migrants or asylum seekers. But we're not: we're talking about refugees.

You basically saying it is dreadful they are there, without questioning how they got there.

No; I'm basically challenging the idea that a child in a refugee camp is "safe".

Do you know the difference between an asylum seeker and an economic migrant?

Yes. Do you know the difference between those things and a refugee?

It's always helpful when someone uses the sort of language that demonstrates that they're mindlessly repeating alt-right nonsense and can be safely ignored.

Well you clearly don't feel than Human Rights apply to these people and feel they should be treated differently to Irish nationals.

Where do you treat them as humans?

It's eye opening reading the comments of some posters on here (i.e. oldbill etc) that clearly don't consider these people to be human beings. I think society will look back on this era and the opinions expressed a lot like 1930/40s and cringe.

Thankfully opinions like that are in the minority.

If you close your eyes and stick your fingers in your ears is it then ok?

The Irish Navy is closing its eyes and sticking its fingers into its ears.

Meanwhile while the Irish Navy is over there illegal drugs flow into Ireland through our open coastline.

The drug importers here must be rubbing their hands with glee.

Irish Naval ships would have no right to enter African territorial waters without an invite

Like the invite from the several Libyan opposing governments,
These are economic migrants not refugees at no stage should any naval force be used to provide a taxi service from Libyan waters to Italy or other EU states

Ferrying economic migrants hoping to find a fortune In the EU ,
And what's wrong with returning them to safe african state ,

Irish Naval ships would have no right to enter African territorial waters without an invite so just shipping them back and dumping them anywhere is not a valid option, which African state should they be taken to?

The Irish Navy are acting as people traffickers. That is what they do, traffic people from Africa to Italy.

It's a disgrace. We shouldn't be doing it. It could be argued that the Irish navy is engaging in treason.

Providing help or support to a foreign army or soldier is treason.

ISIS have said that they intend to infiltrate soldiers into refugee flows into Europe.

If we help the refugee flows we are potentially helping ISIS.

If we deliberately close our eyes to that fact, and if we refuse to vet foreigners who may be ISIS members, we are being reckless as to whether or not we are engaging in treason.

That may well be proscutable in court as treason. The Irish Navy is being reckless as to whether or not it is engaged in treason.

Of course our craven government has no intention of doing so.

I don't agree that we should take children from France. France is not at war and the children may not be children.

We should say no.

But Enda Kenny was never able to stand up to the French. Remember when Sarkozy ruffled his hair like a schoolchild? Cringy, and very weak. Bosco.

Lol

Hello new.poster, very edgy stuff there.

You'll fit right in here :rolleyes:

If you're trying to play the sympathy card for Irish citizens who are in the USA illegally, you're wasting your time.

Migration needs to be controlled, for the benefit of the host Country, as well as the migrants themselves. It doesn't matter whether the migrants are Irish/Middle eastern/African/ or A.N Other. That statement still holds true.

Now, did any Country the Irish migrated to provide a Naval taxi service, treat them as refugees, house them, feed them, and clothe them - or not?

How many of them were picked up by a Naval Taxi service, allowed to freely (or as near as makes no nevermind) enter their Country of choice, and were then fed, clothed, and housed as refugees by that Country?

None.

Controlled migration is one thing.

Accepting migrants posing as refugees, with all the associated benefits, is quite another.

How many economic migrants left these shores for better lives?

Let's check the Atlantic coastguard that picked up the famine ships 12 miles off the coast of Clare and ferried them to new York, supplying them on arrival with money, food, and housing, and education and healthcare.

Yes I remember that well.

It was well documented in the "Changs of New York", a documentary film on well-meaning Chinese local politicians in the 1850s who took it upon themselves to spend limitless amounts of money on personal projects such as a the Irish Refugee Catholics-only Centre in Times Square.
