Various recruitment drives since 2015, all encouraging minorities and different nationalities to apply. calls from the Garda representative association itself, that represents Garda rank only.
Also encouraging more women to apply.
Nothing new and nothing negative.
You don’t have a link to that story so I can read the parts you’re either making up or leaving out, do you?
Cos it reads like BS.
Screw the quote link on this site with an iPhone it keeps showing another post !!!

Where did I say that entry levels would change for migrants?
Hate seeing another poster struggling.
Down the bottom of the page, see Quick Links?
Now do you see ‘My Drafts’, and over on the right, the number 1?
In there and you can delete the draft message, and it won’t come up again each time you’re replying to a post 👍
Friend of mine got stopped by foreign accent Garda (during 5 km Covid limit). Where are you coming from. **** estate. And where is that. Your standing in it . Ffs.
What does his accent have to do with it?
As much as I feel sorry for this pair...its easy to see how migration is compounding our housing and rental problem for the natives

Here you go. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/uk-news/2019/jul/28/christian-preacher-racism-wrongful-arrest-payout-bible
Housing, rental costs and soon to be substantially higher taxes, I don’t mean over the term of ‘a’ government… long term, it will be the lower paid workers middle income earners who feel every smack of that bat…
while trying to get on the property ladder, buy and run a car, get away for a handful of days a year….less disposable income…that’s all becoming an effort beyond comprehension.
but the bill to enable multiculturalism won’t allow much of a dig out for those of us who fill the fund… watch the lower rate of tax rise… a certainty… you’ll have the politicians and the enablers of this tell us it’s because of covid…. It’s not and won’t be….
you cut your cloth to meet your measure…..we are cutting our throats as a society to enable others pleasure and wellbeing…. Why. .? Because, that’s why.
There are far more factors at play in our housing market then immigration.
We're being sold out by these politicians who claim to represent us...that social contract is well gone
its supply and demand, a big driver or the major one of which is immigration…population rises, rises , rises year on year… people arriving who need / want housing…
The bigger driver is lack of supply.
The supply cannot keep up with the demand… which is due to rapid and significant population increase.
It's both sides to be fair.
The housing supply is also a product of Ireland being a prosperous nation people want to stay in / move to
That and the very high building/standards required by our law
No. There is no supply because there was nothing built in this country for years
I knew about the Christian preacher being removed from the area alright, and I knew he was arrested again a few months later -
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8790281/amp/Christian-preacher-loses-appeal-against-conviction-ranting-Muslims-going-hell.html
What I was wondering about was this bit -
Or the muslim UK officer arresting the Christian street preacher for disturbing the peace when he was doing nothing wrong but not arresting the angry muslims who were disturbing the peace
Unless I’m mistaken, it appeared as though you were trying to make out that the officer arrested a Christian preacher because they were Muslim and the preacher was Christian, or the officer was biased towards turning a blind eye to the other people exercising their right to freedom of speech because they were Muslim.
That’s why I asked for a link, because you appeared to be presenting a narrative that at least one of the arresting officers was acting vindictively. They weren’t acting vindictively, they will often remove individuals from a situation for their own safety, particularly if they have form for shouting at innocent members of the public that they’re going to hell.
Ok, if that’s the standard of debate..
Nearly 18,000 new dwellings in 2018 alone.
21,500 in 2019
Which is false. They're been houses built.
Yep, we all know construction has started again. However it basically stopped in 2009 and only started recently. So many many years of supply to catch up on.
It's amazing how the looney left want to concrete over the place with building, if it suits a multicultural agenda.
'Sustainable development' and the environment be damned.
No it didn’t, you are not worth debating with,,,
stopped in ‘09 and started recent, right..cso stats say otherwise…
https://www.cso.ie/en/releasesandpublications/ep/p-ndc/newdwellingcompletionsq12018/orhd/
Did you look at your own link? Check out the tiny amount of properties built between 2011 and 2018. In the boom we were building 75000 properties a year. Big difference in your link.
I can't believe you're even trying to argue this, everyone knows that supply is only trying to catch up. It's regularly in newspapers, in tv, on the radio. There is no argument here. We are trying to catch up. 🙄
im not trying to argue, the facts are in the links :)…the problem is too many new arrivals and physically that demand is not able to be met. All of a sudden you are mad for the cso links when in fact you were posting completely contradictory information to what those links contain…
If net migration is only around 30-50k that should enough houses.
Trying to catch up with the numbers that come here .There was no talk of rental or housing shortage and rising prices 25 years ago . The migrants are more inclined to rent or look for social houses than get a mortgage .
Housing is only part of the problem what about shortage of G.Ps putting massive strain on A&E and school places to name a few. How can our government justify immigration when they cannot supply or offer very limited basic health and care services for many in this country. Not to mention the depleted police force that cannot cope with the population at the moment. Something doesn't add up
Depends on household formation and the shape of our population pyramid. Also any changes in average household size can have a big impact.
In a nutshell if we can't keep up supply of basic things like accommodation then we need to pull levers to increase construction and or limit migration inwards. EU can fine Ireland, how could that be worse. There is clearly an undeniable accommodation problem.
You say we were building 75,000 properties a year during the boom and yet houses prices kept rising until the crash in 2008.
So if supply couldn't reach demand in 2007, then how do you expect us to build our way out of the housing crisis today?
Thanks Bubbly, you hone in on the big issue many have with this housing debate. It looks only at supply (with a we need to spend money approach) and ignores any other possible input, including immigration, regulations etc.
This is a trend seen across media in Ireland
