Are we really that desperate for people to prop up the pension pyramid scheme?
welcome to Ireland in 2022, where planning laws are subverted, ahhh but it’s to help migrants so that’s grand…
This has been happening all over the country for years. Locals are never informed because the politicians know what the reaction will be. Look at what happened in Galway and Macroom in Cork. As numbers continue to go through the roof this will happen more and more.
During the planning process the locals must have been assured this was going to be a hotel. A reasonable expectation.
Open 7 months and now it's to be an "asylum center" (i'm not sure that's adequate description).
Surely locals would be rightly angry at this?
Also I don't see a word about this on RTE.
This is actually appalling. People have no say on any of this in their own communities. It's done to them without any consultation and they are told in the media (not the national broadcaster of course).
You'd start to think that the government are trying to make things blow up in their faces. 421 beds even if at most it'd ever only have 100-200 people stuck as close as possible to the city while still in the middle of nowhere off the M50.
There'll be no hiding any trouble there or originating from there, and there's no way there won't be trouble.
Strange, I've been looking for it. I can't even find the help desk in the layout to query it?
Thread on this seems to have just vanished. Not locked, no warnings, just vanished. Welcome to Boards 2022.
No.
But they implement policies that encourages illegal immigration.
And when it happens, they don't take enough action against it.
Maybe we can put them to work in the hospitality sector right away?
What a wonderful first experience for tourists..
So it will be straight off the plane to the Holiday Inn for some.https://www.irishtimes.com/business/transport-and-tourism/holiday-inn-at-dublin-airport-shuts-after-seven-months-to-become-asylum-centre-1.4808471
Indeed, as eluded to in the article, it's going to be a positive influence in driving wages upwards though a decent % of places will likely not survive regardless
Industry with crap pay and conditions in struggle to get staff shocker.
Europe-wide, the hospitality industry is looking outside the EU for staff.
Restaurants Association of Ireland CEO Adrian Cummins says that there has been a "mass exodus" from the hospitality sector right across the European Union and that employers are now looking beyond the EU's borders for workers.
That means visas and work permits, a process that Mr Cummins describes as slow and cumbersome. He says it can take months for workers to come through the system and he is calling for a 'one stop shop' for visas and work permits in order to simplify the process.
If we had diversity there'd be a loyalist parade down O'Connell St in Dublin every July.
Great to see they clarified the issue for Afghan refugees and extended the time frame for that particular programme
RTE news : Deadline extension for residence programme for Afghans
"exoticism fetish" or paraphelia
That we expect more from the Irish political class and all too often our parish pump electorate is the joke. Coveney and McEntee got in on daddy's "he fixed the rooooads!" sympathy ticket after same died by their own hand, in the case of Coveney's after money was found "resting" in his Ansbacher account that he swore didn't exist. And still Coveney Jr got elected as the golden haired boy from Cork. FF and FG have dodgy dealings and cute whorey going back to the egg and we still keep voting these buggers in. We've only ourselves to blame really.
Haven't dropped into this thread for a while and I see the same old arguments from the pro diversity side. "Diversity is faaaabulous darling", throw in charity, food, 'the Irish were immigrants y'know" and "you're a bigot and racist" for even questioning the politic and that pretty much sums their argument up. It's less an argument than an exoticism fetish as this 'diversity' isn't nearly so much in play if the migration is pale of face(which has been the vast majority of migration into Ireland). Legal or illegal migration, it matters not.
Did I say that?
Has anybody in government stated that illegal immigration is desirable and more is to be welcomed? Nope. That was all you. Own your extremist position. Be out and and proud about your extremism.
By that logic the government has an extremist opinion too seeing as they are running the scheme
You don’t have an argument. You have an extremist take on illegal immigration that has been shown to be nonsense repeatedly.
What a surprise that you’ve now resorted to ‘they took our jobs’. Have you grown tired of the ‘food’ narrative? Predictable, if nothing else.
My "arguments" have been posted many times already in this thread.
At this stage there is little more to be argued as the scheme is now up and running.
Besides, arguing against the some of the nonsense posted as opposing views would serve no purpose as they are the equivalent of "dey tok or jobz".
That ia the level of student union debate. Their whole schtik is accusing opponents of iscms, claiming to be antifascist but calling for authority to ban and punish thought they don,t agree with while whinging about their mental health being affected.
He doesn’t have an argument. That’s all he knows when his worldview is challenged. The only ‘extreme’ view posited on this thread is the suggestion that illegal immigration is not just desirable, but should be encouraged.
Even the most naive student union hack is unlikely to descend to that level of debate. That’s the caliber of argument on offer. Best ignored.
Where?
Didn't you just blanket attack calling people bigots. Add something constructive, how about you debate rather than throw the bigot and racism cards around randomly
It goes all the way to 11
Trotting out that ancient meme. It’s about as incisive as the food and takeaways trope.
Yawn.
It was a perfectly legitimate question. Your non-response speaks volumes.
Ah the Simpsons hasn't been funny in decades. Here's a more recent one that probably will sum up your position in the not too distant future though...
