At a public meeting in the Pavilion, Lisdoonvarna, on February 23, King Thomond Hotel proprietor Marcus White said that he would listen to the views of local people, if they were opposed to Direct Provision or the arrival of asylum seekers. On February 28, a secret ballot of parish residents was held in the Pavilion. A total of 93% voted 197 to 15, to reject the arrival of Direct Provision in the town. However, the Direct Provision contract was subsequently signed by Mr White, who did not attend that meeting.SRC

I have never read such ' cock and bull ' stories. One asylum seeker from Kuwait ( the 4th richest country in the world) came here because her husband is from Bahrain. An asylum seeker from Zimbabwe came here because of the lack of LGBT rights in her country even though she is not gay! An asylum seeker from Nigeria, who has spent years in the UK described Lisdoonvarna as a " dead end " and hopes to get out of there as soon as possible! How dare she speak like that! A lady from Albania is here because she fell out with her boyfriend! Asylum seeking is the greatest scam ever to be perpetrated against the Irish people. Thanks to the Clare Champion, the scammers are exposed for what they are.

Seems odd for the OP to be telling porkies (apologies if I'm wrong), when the very real story of sham marriages is currently in the news. Over 1000 Pakistani and Bangladeshi men paying €20K to marry eastern european women who don't live in Ireland for marriage in order to gain permanent residency here. Seeing that that scam was so blatant, I wonder how many less blatant ones there are. Well, okay, here's a pretty obvious one: how many non-eu people do you see working full time in jobs that you can't obtain a work visa for? Lots.
