I’d love to visit Algiers if it weren’t tourist-unfriendly. Stunning city, I believe.

McDermotX · 03-02-2023 03:37PM

'As long as der not beside me', eh caller ?

archfi · 03-02-2023 03:37PM

Joe seems to be fairly even handed with this (ie, not raging and barracking and actually bringing up counter points to the virtue signalling)

He did this with the women's rights debate last year till he was put back in the box by RTE and a few unrepresentative untouchable NGOs.

2smiggy · 03-02-2023 03:38PM

Joe is rather skeptical of the economic refugees. refreshing

TomSweeney · 03-02-2023 03:39PM

ticking time bomb, anyone with any legitimate concerns will just be branded a "Trumpian racist" etc ... meanwhile the issues will just get worse and worse and the next gen will have some mess on their hands.

Dan Jaman · 03-02-2023 03:40PM

TB or not TB, dat is da question.

03-02-2023 03:41PM

Taking up those jobs would mean giving up the welfare, caller.

McDermotX · 03-02-2023 03:42PM

Lot of 'IFs' dere caller

Atlantic Dawn · 03-02-2023 03:42PM

Most I've seen would only be skilled at pulling the wire off themself.

archfi · 03-02-2023 03:43PM

It's all ifs

Rings a bell, that.

I recall that was an accusation levelled at various immigrant / refugee groups over the years in other places.

McDermotX · 03-02-2023 03:43PM

He's right TBH.......I saw dat Citywest video were all de doctors were taking on de engineers in a melee

Think de argument was about which group was gonna be more beneficial to de Oirish peeple

Transferable skill.

People are crying out for people to come over and fill their vacancies so they can pay them sh1t wages

Atlantic Dawn · 03-02-2023 03:45PM

I doubt we are better health-wise than Albania, lol.

leath_dub · 03-02-2023 03:46PM

"We are crying out for hotel porters"

Yes, he actually said that

Atlantic Dawn · 03-02-2023 03:46PM

Risked their lives crossing 20 countries and then flying in to Dublin.

03-02-2023 03:47PM

Joe, Did you ever hear of the Dublin convention?

Actually, the callers are 100% skewed towards open borderism. That isn't at all representative of the country

That's quite unusual...to say the least so though Joe is putting counterpoints to the callers' virtuosity it's a bit of a whitewash (can I say whitewash today?)

RTE terrified to let an unhinged fascist on

He only wants people to come here doing those jobs for **** wages.

03-02-2023 03:53PM

Burp burp burp

2smiggy · 03-02-2023 03:54PM

i'd imagine the country would be skewed by well over 50% against refugees at this stage. Are 50% + of the population now right wing racists ?

leath_dub · 03-02-2023 03:54PM

Joe admits Liveline is NOT a caller driven show: " We have had zero calls about this topic ( that we're just about to discuss)"

Dan Jaman · 03-02-2023 04:00PM

Joe lines up the ball and whangs it off two cushions, nips it into the corner pocket of 3pm, then trousers another 2K.

Mena Mitty · 03-02-2023 04:05PM

Joe said they got no calls regarding the Nursing home fiasco.

About 15 years ago or so the gubbermint payed out compensation to Medical card holders who had their pension or sw payment 'taken from them' (was the term used by the families at the time) while staying in a hse nursing home.

Is this an extension of that scandal or something new. Wonder why it didn't come to light at the time.

It's funny when you actually talk to people the majority are not happy with this situation but people in power will call the people who shout about it racist bigots. Sadly most of those shouting the loudest are actually racist bigots..

It's like the intelligent people with something to lose are afraid to stand up for fear of being cancelled.

Are you worried that they're going to take your job, AD?
