Her culture and upbringing is very alien to anyone who has actually been raised in Ireland to native Irish parents. Me getting a Cork passport, and living there for a few years having moved from Galway, doesn't mean I am from Cork or ever will be. Zappone is a blow in. It's time she blew back out again.

But, realistically, don't you think people genuinely fleeing a warzone should have priority over those who are just looking for free everything? And are not prepared to let any legal impediment stand in the way of getting it? Can we seriously afford €275,000 per person who comes here for a better life as opposed to those fleeing a warzone? At 60% of the total intake of 4,000, that's 2,400 people, @ €275000 each. A whopping 660 million per year, on people who are looking for a better life. What abut Irish children who need life-saving treatment that runs to 10s of thousands of euro per year, that are denied it because it is considered unaffordable? Are they not human beings, too? Or do they not count because their parents are Irish? What about the genuine refugees who are stuck in camps in Syria? Are they not human? We can only do so much. The least we should be trying to do is help as many people as possible - not playing fairy godmother with money that could be spent much more effectively.

Every civilised country has signed up to agreements that set out how refugees (the word doesn't need danger quotes - yes, I get that you're using them as a way of expressing your view that they're not genuine refugees without having to adduce any evidence for that belief) should be treated. If you believe that Ireland should renege on those agreements on the basis that Irish people are inherently more deserving, I guess you'll have to elect a government that agrees with you. That's not how public policy works. If everyone got to opt out of a percentage of their taxes on the basis of government expenditure they disagreed with, the country would be in quite the state.

[Deleted User] wrote: » Were they receiving assistance to the tune of 275,000 per year? No? No comparison, then. Not that I approve of their being here illegally, either - I don't! But, they were not denying funds to an Irish child in urgent need of treatment. They weren't preventing someone whose life is in imminent danger from being helped. There are degrees of wrongdoing. Being here illegally is wrong. Being here illegally, and scamming the system to the tune of €275,000 per year, costing lives that could otherwise be saved - that's the lowest of the low.

These men and they most definitely are men and not teenagers will abscond to the UK at the earliest opportunity. What worries me though is the commitment that Zappone has given that we keep them here, i.e. in what will be an open prison in a group of houses somewhere.this means contracts have been signed with various security companies to monitor the movement of the "teenagers" and even if they abscond we will still have to pay for their supervision, probably indefinitely.
