That and AGS can't even deal with zombified junkies in the city, let alone dozens of aggressive teens who would have to be treated as minors under the law if they even get to a court room. The problems here are our piss-poor justice system, and a society that either largely shouts in defence of these "poor misunderstood migrants" :rolleyes: or are paralysed to speak out for fear of being branded a racist - and in a world where online Twitter witch hunts have real repercussions on people's livelihoods and how they're perceived, can you really blame them?

Every single EU nation has suffered the consequences of implementing this "multiculturalism" politic and over a couple of generations with it. It has done few favours for both the locals and the incoming people, especially the second and third generations. Ireland had avoided this for a few reasons. For a start we had been dirt poor so only genuine asylum seekers and refugees tended to show up here(I knew one family of the former growing up). The "Celtic Tiger" changed that, especially when we were seen as a soft target. We might have headed it off then, but didn't. Our governments of all political stripes have two tendencies; copy whatever the UK and latterly the EU does, and be reactive, rather than proactive. These "gangs of Balbriggan" stem from those Celtic Tiger days, the first generation born here. And still the muppets in power push for more of the same. You really couldn't make this nonsense up. Well I suppose you can, they did. Though I reckon much of it is down to those in power here only encounter these issues by remote control, it never directly impacts their lives. When you have asylum centres dropped into communities with zero consultation with the locals that tells you all you need to hear. The owners of the properties are happy out with their big cheques of course. And like _Kaiser_ the more this goes on and is wilfully ignored or angrily dismissed the more frustration and anger on the ground will rise and not just among the native Irish people, the immigrant population will also suffer, again as we've seen time and bloody time again elsewhere.

How we currently process the applications of people claiming asylum is a shambles as is our way of creating instaghettos with the direct provision centers. It's no coincidence that balbriggan has become a poster child for racists everywhere given the fact that it's the nearest town to mosney

P_1 wrote: » As in creating an instant ghetto? Yeah you're spot on there because the idiotic FF policy of basically dumping all asylum seekers there in 2003 has done exactly that. People are naturally going to settle in the nearest town once their claim is granted. We need to massively shorten the time it takes to process asylum claims because dumping people in direct provision centers for years on end is only going to create more Balbriggans. This means more civil servants working in INIS

Sgt Hartman wrote: » It's just an utter embarrassment to us as a nation that a situation such as the one in Balbriggan was allowed to happen. We as a people and a country must be seen as an utter laughing stock to those African troublemakers. We are now stuck with a problem that we will never be able to get rid of. The government and all the do-gooder morons out there who let this happen should be ashamed of themselves. RTE is just as complicit, they are perpetually shoving pro immigrant/asylum seeker propaganda in front of us while threatening us with fines and jail if we don't pay their licence fee.

I've yet to see any of this sh*te that is being bandied about this thread. As for estates that are like townships- really? I swear to feck- how many of you commenting on this thread have actually been to the town. By no means am I saying it's Eden but it's certainly very very far from the picture that's being painted in this thread. It's no better or worse than many other areas in Dublin such as Tallaght, Blanchardstown etc.

If they had the get-up-and-go to get the intercontinental airfare together while living under conditions so dangerous that they had to seek asylum, surely they could have made alternative arrangements rather than languishing under Paddy's jackboot?
