A huge chunk of these people dislike the Irish in general and only at the weekend I seen posts online by them talking of repossessing the place. Tools. I certainly believe some cultures fit in more well here than others and we should be doing our best to keep the troublemakers out.

However, doctors involved in the campaign say it is “imminently possible for public health experts to safely move 400 people from Greece to Ireland” and that the structures and protocols already exist to make it happen." Don't you just love how it jumps from 64 to 400 people without any explanation.. just accept it.. "“At the end of the day there is no alternative, these camps don’t work. If we refuse to engage in a more humane solution we are part of the problem. Covid was a valid concern at the start of the pandemic, but we understand the restrictions and risks now. This is an issue of access to healthcare and human rights. We can deal with the politics after." Seems like we can deal with the economic costs, the long-term issues, the difficulties, etc later too. I can't move 5k from my home, but they can move 400 people here, who are likely exposed to covid already.. and with all the associated costs aswell. Wonder will they be required to the full battery of tests for travel, or will their neediness protect them, and us, from infection. Really wish we have a media or politicians capable of challenging the logic of this stuff.

No appeals, no media or NGO campaigns to be allowed remain, no ifs or buts. Out they must go. This should be an automatic and non negotiable result of the committal of criminal acts in the state by foreigners.

Being Irish (or whatever) isn't a cultural thing is it? There are certain things that make us Irish but not every irish person lives their lives that way so I don't really get what multiculturalism actually is.

You only see it being promoted as being something for western nations to embrace.. and it's usually promoted for Africans, M.Easterners, and those from S.America... Asians, typically, are ignored completely. As are white people from Eastern Europe. So, multiculturalism is aimed at the dilution of western culture by introducing other non-western cultures, demanding that they be recognised and embraced. There's an image in my head whenever i think of multiculturalism. A group sitting around a campfire of all races, and cultures, holding hands and singing together. It completely ignores the past history, genocides, wars, etc that each person has as part of their national or cultural identity.. because the campfire is just going to magically make everyone forget their differences. All the while, the owner of campfire, is forced to sit outside the group, ferrying food, and drinks to ensure that no fighting erupts. Not anymore. We used to be a strong Catholic country, but that's dying out. We used to be big drinkers, but that was put a stop to. Associated to the drinking, was the reputation and identity as people who drank and partied, but the pubs are dying, as is the traditional atmosphere of partying. Even the friendliness that Irish people once had, has become sharper, more suspicious.. I think you need to step outside of Ireland for a moment and consider other cultural, and national groups. Their identity is important to them, or they simply can't escape it. It could be linked directly to their race, or historical experiences.. but it's there nonetheless. I've found that most other nationalities have an awareness of self, as a group cultural identity, which seems to be disappearing in Ireland. Oh sure, it might come out to a limited extent on Paddy's day, or some other celebration, but it doesn't stay around for long. Instead, for Ireland, that identity is more likely to be of a county affiliation, or some other grouping..

The belief is sadly unfounded, yes it would be great if it was true... But it isn't. Even within the newly multicultural societies, we see birds of a feather flock together, people feel more comfortable around people similiar to them. Any multicultural neighbourhood I've seen... Everyone works or everyone hides, completely soulless places.

I've found that the more multicultural a school is, the less friendly it is, and the less the parents will get involved in contributing. Add the resources issue with the school having to deal with non-English speakers, and cultural and religious differences, and it becomes a place you don't want to send your kids. I saw this happen to a formerly lovely school with a strong sense of community around it - within 20 years Irish kids became a minority and everyone keeps to their own little groups. It's depressing.
