    the courts mostly reject the appeals. deportations from ireland are happening regularly, you just don't hear about it as it's not news worthy.



    one has to apply for citizenship. some don't get it.



    it's not a slap in the face to irish homeless. homelessness is a separate issue. an issue which has many different factors and other complications involved depending on the person.



    their not hard to shift. the laws to allow removal exist and are enforced. not as much as you would like but that's your problem.


    You don’t hear about it because it rarely happens. Even if they’re not granted asylum they can appeal.

    Are you forgetting our little friend Pamela? How much did it cost us to get rid of this scam artist? How many years did it take?

    there was no actual evidence at first to prove she was scamming. once there was sufficient evidence she was gone rather quickly. deportations are happening regularly.

    I'm very highly educated. I know words, i have the best words, nobody has better words then me.

    To just make statistics up is stupid...I'm not in favour of this....but peddling lies helps noone

    In total, 1008 asylum seekers more than 15 different countries had their applications approved between 2010 and 2016.

    https://www.google.ie/amp/www.dublinlive.ie/news/new-figures-show-irish-government-12723124.amp

    There is currently roughly 5000 refugees currently living in direct provision here that's not a lie unfortunately ,
    With a 90% increase in applications since 2016
    .

    So yeah

    Heard an interview with a guy who was on the asylum committee & he said he refused something like 98% of applications but they they would appeal but he would refuse them again. He said that they were all chancers
    He has now retired & seemingly they 98% has dropped quite a bit

    And where is Pamala now?

    Many of the issues shown up in that case are now not possible as the law has been amended and the courts have elimited many of the issues.

    I accept the system is far from perfect but many of the issues from late 1990’s have been rectified.

    I still say that the system is too slow and people who are illegal should be deported with greater speed. But it must be accepted that deportations are rising and the system is slowly getting better, but more must be done.

    And those who fled Assad?

    Same as what people here did when the Munster Republic fell or after the battle of Kinsale? Get on with it, live with your misplaced bet for the moment, and hope for a better day.

    Unless all such people get to live abroad forever?

    Ireland for its own reasons used to split asylum and Subsidary protection. Now a person applies for international protection to explain the difference. In fact most Syrians do not in reality satisfy the requirements for Asylum. But the same Syrian would be entitled to subsidary protection. So yes under the old system say a Syrian applies he would be refused asylum then appeals then refused then applied for Subsidary protection (many used to be refused A’s application only made on paper) now application is oral a fair few of the same people refused Refugee status are then granted Subsidary protection.

    But Ireland for its own stupid reasons draws the process out. There is no valid reason why 90% of applicants could not be processed fully within 6-9 months.

    Can I gently say that the Syria refugee settlement scheme is separate to the so called "scammers" and I have to say I agree that there are many thousands here who did scam their way in while the Government wasn't looking.

    The Syrians are part of a UN resettlement program that involves many countries. I am not sure, but I have a big suspicion that the UN is providing funding for this. The applicants are vetted by the UN as being genuine (not boat/trafficker payers) and are worthy of resettlement. Good.

    Anything that ensures that refugees are genuine is a good thing.

    I do realise that timing is not good with the housing situation here. But the UN has said (sorry will look for the link later), that these resettlement schemes are temporary even if that is a few years or so. I know..... but there is something positive in an organisation actually organising things rather than a free for all.

    My point is that these failed asylum seekers are not promptly deported when their application fails.

    Can you back up your claim that ‘deportations are rising’ etc., please? Source would be good.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,554 ✭✭✭Really Interested

    Did you actually read my post. The part that says if the system was set up right people would be deported. Are you saying I somehow was the cause of the rape?

    https://www.google.ie/amp/s/www.irishtimes.com/news/social-affairs/nearly-4-500-people-deported-from-state-last-year-1.2994473%3fmode=amp

    Figure represents 17% increase on 2015 and mostly comprises non-EU nationals refused entr

    “In addition, 428 failed asylum seekers and illegal migrants were deported from the Republic and 67 EU nationals were returned to their countries of origin on foot of an EU Removal Order.”

    As I said more needs to be done but it’s going in the right direction. The system was mental to be honest but slowly they are fixing it in 2002 over 12,000 entered and sought asylum by 2015 that figure was about 1000. I accept it is rising again but part of the reason for that was the system was such a mess thousands of people where in the system for years that is mental.

    But funny thing even though I call for a better faster system I somehow and a libtard just because I also want a fair system.

    Not at all.

    I'm saying that we shouldn't be taking massive numbers of backwards thinking idiots who can't be trusted to behave it normal society as we'll never get shut of them.

    How manny refuges allowed in is massive numbers?

    The total number of refugees in the country from 1995 to 2017 is at most 25,000.

    If you have a higher figure I’ll would like to see it, BYW that number about 1000 a year.

    BTW Syria was up till a decade ago a very advanced country, Libya for example students sat the Irish leaving certificate. Have you ever meat a Syrian any who I have met which I accept is very few was very educated.

    But our Foreign Minister disagrees:
    "They have no country to go home to, because it is such a broken country now. I expect that many families that come to Ireland will want to be Irish citizens in the future. I think they can offer something to Ireland that is very positive. It's up to us as a Government to put a structure in place." rte.ie/news/2015/0907/726223-migrants-ireland/

    If a person get to Irish shore and claims International protection then Ireland under international law must hear the case. I accept that because of the rubbish system cases took up to 10 years and wasted huge sums of money. But in last few years the system is trying to adapt.

    2002 12000 people applied by 2015 that was down to about 1000 currently about 2000 are applying per year.

    I for one don’t see that as hordes in Ireland roughly 800,000 are not born here, most are legal with Polish the biggest group followed by UK at a guess total EU about 500000, then legal person working here at a guess 200000 to get a working permission salary must be over 30k and many jobs excluded.
    People who have got refugee status less than 25,000

    Then we have students that are needs further reform.

    And finally illegals that is people who arrive illegally or become illegal, that number by its very nature is difficult to calculate. But any illegal should be deported.

    BTW any person EU or non EU convicted of serious crimes will face deportation or removal at the end of sentence with the minister making the decision while they still in custody.

    Heard that guy on local radio here lmfm. It came across to me that various quangos and ngos were unhappy with his percentage pass rate. And that he was pensioned off and replaced by a person from the quangos. Pass rates have shot up since

    And who could have guessed numbers applying for asylum have shot up since!
    The refugee industry like all industries must keep striving for expansion , I suppose

    "The Flight of the Earls (Irish: Imeacht na nIarlaí) took place on 4 September 1607, when Hugh O'Neill, Earl of Tyrone and Rory O'Donnell, 1st earl of Tyrconnell, and about ninety followers left Ulster in Ireland for mainland Europe."

    The law was that extended family could apply in 2016 the law was restricted to spouse or minor children. The law was changed by the establishment. The proposed bill is not to my knowledge proposed by the establishment

    With absolutely no knocks at those in Co. Clare but that is exactly where they need to be located and places like it.

    Dublin is full to overflowing.

    Ballaghadereen was another place.

    Surely they will help isolated and dying rural communities? What are ya all moaning about now.

    I bet they will all go back eventually. It is not like there is a Syrian hubbly jubbly pub on every corner where they can connect with their own, like we do all over the world with the Irish community, pubs and GAA.

    But I stand to be corrected, they might just like it here along with the weather and the spuds.

    Really? Do you honestly think there are no people on housing lists there that have been skipped?
    Do you think that free money, medical care, almost free housing, everything taken care of in Ireland is less attractive than hard work, pay for everything, in Syria?
    And already Syrian refugees are bleating about being in little towns and seeking to move to the cities

    They are isolated and dying rural communities because there are no jobs, services or leisure facilities available.

    Shannonside FM did a radio doc with some of the refugees in Ballaghaderreen a few months back, and although most said they liked the area, they all said they couldn't wait to move to Dublin or Galway.

    Aren't you familiar with the Flight of the Earls? And even then that was only an absolute minority who could afford to flee, the estimated hundred thousand who died from famine had no choice in the matter but you don't think they would have fled too if they'd had the means?

    And comparing the Munster Republic to the war in Syria is absolutely ridiculous, get a grip and go read a history book
