Don't think about it too much. We don't know who's who anymore, unfortunately our central STATISTICS office forgot to keep a tab on statistics. An innocent mistake. It's no big deal, we'll get around to that some other time. Don't think about it. Yeah, the infrastructure will be fixed. Annnny day now the trend will suddenly reverse. We don't have enough housing but we swear on our pinky we will someday. Nothing to do with our completely normal population increase, no siiirrreebob. Don't worry about it. In the meantime, let me hold that money, I'll be right back. Swear to God!

It's late and I can't be arsed explaining everything.

"More people = more money for everybody!!!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuVh36vQkSI The biggest issue in this country, housing, is directly impacted by increasing amounts of people. That's just for starters, no need to go further. When you refer to "increased resources" what does that even mean? An increase in gdp? Who gives a rats arse about leprechaun economics when the cost of living is going up and up and up for the average person, waiting times for serious issues are getting longer and longer, less facility because every inch of space is being turned into accommodation for investors/vultures and so on?!

At GCSE, in 2019, 18% of white British pupils on free meals achieved grade 5 in English and maths, compared with 23% for the average for pupils on free meals. For university entry, 16% of white British pupils on free meals get places, compared with 59% of black African pupils on free meals, 59% of Bangladeshi pupils on free meals and 32% of black Caribbean pupils on free meals.
Why are poor white pupils falling behind? The report highlighted a mix of challenges about the local areas where many poor white pupils lived - and also "cultural factors" that could limit how much support they got from their families. These underlying social problems included:Poor local jobs market and lack of opportunity Lack of community assets and social organisations, poor local services and transport Families with "multi-generational poverty" Disengaged parents with a poor experience of education
"There's this nagging feeling that it's not for me," says 18-year-old Oliver Jones-Lyons, describing the "suspicions" about the value of education that he thinks hold back some white working class communities. He has been a pupil on free meals at a school near Newcastle and says there is still a concern about the education system harbouring snobbery and class prejudice, even down to stereotypes about regional accents which "mark you out as different". There's an inclination to turn away from exams and instead say "my dad can get us a job". "There's a lack of explanation of how education is helping you," Oliver says.

Deleted User wrote: » What skillsets are required that cannot be filled in Ireland? Are you really suggesting that Irish universities, and other private educational institutions are incapable of training/educating Irish people to the standard to avail of these positions? And as the costs of living and do business in Ireland continue to rise, there will be greater pressure on multi-nationals to choose other European nations which have invested heavily into languages or education. Ireland has been lucky for the past two decades, but it's not a permanent competitive advantage, and companies have a growing number of options on where to establish themselves. There is no guarantee that new multinationals will continue to set up in Ireland, further increasing the demands for such labor. Skilled immigration to Ireland is definitely a positive, but we need to be aware that there being a gap in filling jobs is a good thing. All it takes is a few multinationals to leave, or a variety of companies to close, before we have hundreds, if not thousands of people once more looking for work. That needs to be factored into how many immigrants are allowed entry into the country, especially, when citizenship is extended to them.

When people like myself married to a non irish person of mixed race tells you they love this country, do not find it a racist one it does not suit your agenda. MY government was elected by Irish people to represent Irish people, that does not suit your agenda, so you deflect from that. When i say there is too many immigrants , you automatically make it about color when its about numbers , because that is your agenda. I think all people should be vetted, no ex con, and criminals, but to you we should allow every dirtbag from around the world to come here almost 3 quarters of your entire posts in the last 24 hours does suggest you are either trolling or a multiple account, but there is certainly an agenda

when you finish degree/masters your are not specialised, that takes work experience
of course multi's might not continue starting up, then the specialised foreign workers will leave.

Maybe play the ball and not the man?

Justin Credible Darts wrote: » a couple of questions 1. Why is it the only people who think Ireland is racist are Irish white people ? Somehow all the non Irish I know dont feel the same way, but only white Irish think it ? 2. If Ireland is racist, then why are immigrants getting housed quicker than Irish people ? It anyone is being discriminated against its the Irish in their own country. 3. Can someone show me a country where forced multiculturalism has even come close to working ?. 4. If its ok for countries like the USA to refuse people entry in to their country, refuse visas to criminals etc, why is it not ok for other countries to do the same. The amount of people who think we should open the border let everyone in, and we tax payers pay for it whilst our own people end up homeless, is a disgrace, in fact you could call that racism against Irish.
