You required a 40 year long generation to get to your required 50% of population growth which I still don't accept as being what most people accept as a generation. 50% growth in 40 years isn't even that shocking; it is roughly 1% per year.

Issues with infrastructure can actually be fixed if we try.

This thread is a cesspit.

bubblypop wrote: » Well I guess I'll have to explain to you how there is no-one keeping track of anyone in this country. There is no requirement for anyone coming to live here to register anywhere. So anyone who is entitled to live and work here can, without telling any authorities. People who require a visa or come here claiming asylum or to be a refugee are registered and we know exactly who and where they are. Anyone moving here from any EU country or from the UK are not required to register anywhere. So, other than the census, every four years, where many people don't bother filling it.out, we have no.idea who lives here. So, again, how do you think authorities know who lives here?
Justin Credible Darts wrote: » I should hope people waiting on a visa are registered and we know where they are. I thought that was bloody obvious. I would imagine anyone looking for benefits or the dole or whatever have to give an address. contrary to what most people think, it is almost impossible not to be found in this country unless you are actively hiding from the authorities, which is mostly illegal immigrants. The rest are more likely working so contributing , I have no issue with them.
Justin Credible Darts wrote: » the census has those if a few years old. Do you think all the immigrants coming here are all self employed or in tax paying jobs ? You cannot get the internet in your home without valid id. People are easily traced and counted. By your logic the immigration problem....and make no mistake, it is a problem, might be even actually worse than we think,

Gradius wrote: » There actually is a central statistics authority in the country, they are called...wait for it...The Central Statistics Office. It is, contrary to apparent belief, their job to record information on people living here. They have a few glaring blindspots, to the point that it's outright suspicious. "Hey Joe, we should record statistics, like just who lives here. I mean, why not, we get paid for this!" "Good Idea, Jim, let's do that!" "Hey Joe, seeing as we're doing a job, should we record who's who so as we can get valuable information that would inform policy decisions and such?" "No, Jim, that would be crazy." Again, not directly blaming staff, but there is obviously some authority figure breathing down their neck. Just what you'd expect in a con job. Less information is better, you see. Easier swindle. Did you know that the unwitting accomplices of con men can be referred to as "shills", "dupes", "stooges" and so on? So many of them, ear-deep in lies that they can't even accept the truth when it's plonked in front of them. The Larry, Curly and Moe's running defence for conmen as they are also robbed by the conmen. And the theme of the three stooges is three blind mice, apt! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5a45f1uy80

Heraclius wrote: » I'm sure no country has ever experienced population growth before... Seriously, the country is growing due to somewhat favourable demographics (a large enough generation having just under 2 children replacing smaller older generations) and an inflow of migrants due to us having a growing economy. I'd much prefer be in a country capable of attracting immigrants rather than one where people were desperate to leave. Issues with infrastructure can actually be fixed if we try.

Except for the immigrants people complain about, non EU immigrants, they are tracked, anyone else is not.

Heraclius wrote: » If we lack infrastructure and services it is because we don't demand efficiency and delivery from our politicians. You can't blame immigration for that. It is possible to have a large number of immigrants and still have good services. I suspect Ireland could have zero net migration and still have inefficient services.
Gradius wrote: » No. We DO lack infrastructure and services because there has been a sudden influx of an extra third of the population since the year 2000. 100% cause and effect. Since that has happened, all demands for efficiency have gone on deaf ears. Why? Because it's a money spinner for a few people, the same usual crowd that are all on for even more people. SUCH MYSTERIOUS MOTIVATIONS!! These arseholes are in no rush to lower the value of their investments, to lower rents, to raise wages they have to pay, to pay for a better and equitable health system and so on. 41% of politicians were landlords at one stage. I don't know what it is now, but expecting them to go against their own interests is farcical. Conjob by conmen, supported by turkeys voting for Christmas because they convinced the turkeys "it's such a lovely time of year"
