Saying that though, if our borders are as secure as you make out to be, how come a day after someone is murdered on our streets the authorities really have no idea who the person is baring his name?

I tried to get him on the phone and was fairly frantic due to my own issues. Eventually i discovered he was asleep in his bed having come home in the early hours. I felt a right fool, but I will not say I spent anytime at all worrying about being attacked by a random brown skinned foreigner. In fact, truth be told, I feel more afraid of being attacked (again) by two knife wielding white skinned junkies of the Irish variety. To save the usual trawling through my post history that is what happened to me, in Dundalk, last jan 14th. Hence my "mental issues" like anxiety etc. While I currently have some friends from that area in college, I am not a fan of unlimited immigration. Call me racist if you like, frankly IDGAF. We have enough scum to worry about who were born here, we don't need to import more. If we continue to allow any tom,dick or mohammad into the country we will end up just like europe. not in another generation, but in this one. Previous attacks in europe are carried out by 2nd generation immigrants. As more come into europe, the collective sense of power grows and they become bolder. Attacks from 1st gen, just landed, give me a house and benefits type will become more common. By all means give them aid, help to build houses, train workers, feed and clothe them. But why do it here? they would be better off in a country closer both physically and politically to their own. I have no objection to helping them, but not at the cost of them destroying my country due to overcrowding hospitals, longer housing lists etc. We Irish went aboard in droves, but we went to work, not to claim benefits. The country is too small, too under equipped and too damn soft to accept the numbers coming here. None of whom seem to want to assimilate into our culture. Instead they come here, demand more than the natives are getting and scream racist when they don't get it. I don't have an answer to every question, I may not even remain on this thread, but for me its a question of looking after the Irish first, then IF we have any left we can begin to look after others. Charity begins at home. yours truly, a worried,scared, tired old man who wants to do the right thing without getting screwed for it.

All over the years watching what were usually accused child killers and the like on the tv arriving at or leaving court unseen in the police/Garda van with the small blacked out windows and a mob outside waiting sometimes for hours in bad weather just to spend 20 seconds bawling abuse and sometimes eggs etc at a van, jostling for position with the photographers. Pointless.

Brown colored bearded men stab strangers or run them down with hired trucks while shouting gobbledygook in exotic places like Nice and Las Ramblas, not Dundalk. When the outside world intrudes, it scares.

Despite the fact that you are much more likely to be randomly obliterated in a car than you are to be randomly attacked by a Muslim -- the level of fear and hysteria towards the latter scenario seems disproportionately high. Not to mention that 500 people per year die due to alcohol-related cancers while over 5,000 per year die in Ireland due to smoking. Irish society has proven itself quite capable of producing mass murderers. The point is -- there are things out there killing hundreds of Irish people which do not garner the same fervour among people. One immigrant commits a murder and people seem to totally lose the plot -- calling for all kinds of things like a complete overhaul of society and a whole range of other extremities such as tightening immigration rules without any regard for cost and the effect on our economy. If you suggest to them that we maybe should criminalise tobacco, despite the fact that it could eventually save thousands of lives, they would rightly laugh at you for failing to see the practical and economic issues it would cause. Yet all it will take is a couple of murders by some immigrants and they'll be crying out for an Iron Curtain around Ireland regardless of the adverse practical implications. Immigration is a challenge for our country and it needs to be taken seriously -- but also rationally, logically and indeed compassionately (without compassion, I'm not quite sure what about our society we are trying to save). People should reflect on the rationality underlying their fear of being killed by a Muslim terrorist, which is unlikely in the utter extreme, while thousands of our people will lie dead this time next year due to things our society has happily tolerated for years.

As if no one cares or worries about cancer or car accidents. No one stabs me and gets away with it. No terrorist or non terrorist. You’re speaking as if it were ok for us to be killed because they don’t like our religion or they think they’re going straight to heaven or whatever.
