This is simply wrong. Over 80% of the Irish Republic voted against this in '03. This shows utter contempt for democracy. "Let's make a clear statement here today; Ireland belongs to all of us. Not just those of us who were born here. but those people who come here, who work here, and contribute to our society." .

No not in Ireland where they rewarded you houses etc on the backs of the taxpayers

The bulk of these people are currently living in private rented accommodation on HAP scheme or rent supplement. If a family in Dublin is kept on this scheme for a decade, the money spent would have been enough to build them an actual social home. When you pour more people in, and give them preference for the housing, it keeps the Irish family in HAP longer, at a longer term expense to the country. It also keeps the rental market overloaded with people who should be living in actual council houses, thus pushing up the average rent per unit. Supply= demand. I'd rather Margaret Cash was given feck all, but while a forever home is denied to her, and tens of thousands like her, it keeps pressure on the private rental market.

What were our immigration levels like then? Things that also contribute to the rental market pressure: Airbnb, predatory landlords.

Acknowledging that unemployment rates are considerably higher for specific migrant groups, particularly migrants of African origin
here is considerable variation between national groups in employment rates. Successive integration monitors have found very low rates of employment among African nationals (McGinnity et al., 2014; Barrett et al., 2016). In 2014, for example, the year of the final Equality module, the employment rate of African nationals was 37 per cent compared to 61 per cent for both Irish nationals and non-Irish nationals on average.

Stateofyou wrote: » Thanks for that. Question, regarding the low rates of employment of African nationals. Do you think there is any bias here in Ireland in our hiring processes?
Eric Cartman wrote: » in Dublin, a positive bias towards hiring minorities, in rural Ireland a bias against. It would account for some variation but id say most of the disparity is down to the African migrants themselves either through low skillset, happy being on welfare or actively choosing to participate in criminality.
