Now the immigration issue on the other hand is relatively new here, at least in the present Nrs. But there is growing dissafaction with the whole immigration issue, but like many have posted here, to speak out or even seek informed discussion on the subject is tabboo , lest you bring the hellfire of racism, the woke and PC brigade's down on you. The problem is that the longer it takes to address the whole issue, the worse the problem will become, and the harder it will be to fix it.

There is no Far Right party that will get elected into any semblance of authority here because the Irish, for all their flaws, will rightly scoff at them and say "Will ya go and ****e." The minute Far Right movement in Ireland, is magnified by NGO'S who need to tilt at windmills to justify their need for existence and, crucially, get more funding.

However exceptionally these self same antennas failed them completely in the last GE when unexpectedly SF took the lions share of the 1st preference votes, while some of the "regulars" had to go as far as the 18th to get elected. But as soon as they think that anti-immigration sentiment is growing, they will change accordingly. The problem is will it change in time?

Just looking at the lack of backbone of Irish politicians to take on the liberal left and their push for unsustainable non-EU migration into Ireland at all costs while we are sorely lacking adequate services for the people already living in the country e.g. a million people on hospital waiting lists, I envision a person from Poland or even further afield to save us. In essence, they will be saving the Irish from the Irish. When they finally step forward, they will be successful.

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.

They do try to accuse her of being heartless considering her own parents were Ugandan Indians fleeing Idi Amin, but there's no comparison. Ugandan Indians had deep ties to Britain, with many of them already holding British citizenship. They were in genuine danger of death - Amin had threatened to kill them all. And they were overwhelmingly hardworking, entrepreneurial, self-sufficient and culturally compatible.

I can't seem to find the story about the Islamic protests in the UK in most places, it's not on the Journal or RTE's website from what I can see. How they can justify stuff like this is beyond me. I hate to repeat myself, but if was Christians doing similar, it would be prime time news all week.

They are here anyway. As for culture this is Ireland and one would expect our culture to be Irish. Otherwise what are we? Just another western European country moulded in to the same morass of indistinguishable sameness. Outside western Europe everywhere else is keeping their own culture. For some reason we are intent on diluting ours.
