you should just "GET OVER" ever owning a home says PP boss

Freedom of movement does not include residency as you state, there are conditions which must be met to avail of residency.

I would suggest that these existing rules should be enforced in Ireland in much the same way as they are in other EU member states.

I disagree that we "need" large volumes of non EU workers under a work permit system, we managed perfectly fine without these workers for the majority of hour history, what has changed now?

LMAO, so we need immigrants to meet demand for housing that is brought about solely by immigration!

You sound like the kind of person that would add workers to an overloaded ship to help bail out the water rushing in over the side as a result of its having too many people on board.

How is that racist nonsense? A desire for preservation of culture and a stable economy without it being under constant threat by uncontrolled, illegal immigration should be a perfectly valid standpoint to have.

Illegal immigration hurts legal migrants the most so maybe you need a rethink of what's "racist nonsense"

Economic migrants are flooding into the continent and are being normalised as if they are asylum seekers. The poster was suggesting that this is to the detriment of smaller countries of Europe, which it absolutely is. That is not racist.

The state with a decreasing tax base due to demographic changes will have to pick up the tab, either directly through social housing or indirectly through rent subsidies.

In short if the state doesn't do something to avoid the situation now it's totally screwed in the not too distant future.

If they do nothing now and nothing when the chickens come home to roost, increasingly desparate people will do increasingly desparate things. I hope it isn't allowed to come to that.

Thanks, I'm really racking up the accolades today, A bigot and a racist, on quite a roll!

The population of the EU is around 450 million, Ireland is a small nation of 5 million people.

In theory there is nothing to stop say 1 million people moving to Ireland tomorrow and taking up residence.

I'm of the opinion that there should be some hard limits placed on freedom of residency such that the influx of new people each year is limited.

The limit should be to such a level that can be absorbed both by our infrastructure - housing, schools, roads etc. and socially, so as to avoid the creation of foreign mono cultural ghettos. Many of have been established all over the UK and Europe in previous decades.

Multi-culturalism has created many social issues across Europe to date and yet we think that we will avoid all these issues despite having zero policy in place to protect against it and a horrific track record in dealing with our own home grown social issues.

I'm a huge fan of the EU and the freedom it allows, and have travelled to very many of it's member states.

It's beauty lies in it's diversity and if we allow rapid mixing of populations between member states we will certainly lose all the vibrant languages and cultures within it which make it so great. We will just become another homogenous federalist monoculture like the USA.

I don't know what they were motivated by; I haven't suggested that I do. Their action in voting for Brexit pandered to white racism; their motives for pandering to white racism are a separate matter.

Don't suppose you asked the parents if they'd be happy to have you back?!
