Time for a zero refugee policy? - *Read OP for mod warnings - updated 11/5/24*

If I had been asked that question in the poll "There is a limit to the number of asylum seekers and refugees Ireland can cope with", I would have been one of those who replied 'Yes, there is definitely a limit'. Only a fool would try and claim that our accommodation capacity is limitless.

But it's a big leap from that to suggest that 84% of Irish people are actively calling for a quota or upper limit on refugees to be announced by the government (for starters, nobody has ever really defined what our capacity is or what Ireland being 'full' would actually mean).

In other words

"39 men" 😫😱 oh no, not those awful men, they are obviously all rapists and murderers. ffs. hate this sexist crap.

my local town has welcomed lots of refugees and no one seems to have a problem with them, I deal with them sometimes while working, haven't met one who wasn't a decent person.

I hope the filth that set the tents on fire and anyone like them are rounded up and punished severely.

The penny hasn't dropped. Leo and Martin coming out with all the familiar phrases "no limits to numbers" , "legal and moral obligations".

There's a new one"it is not necessary to block the gates to the accomodation".

It very much IS necessary since migrants were bussed in without consulting locals.

However that's SOP now. Roderick and maybe some of the other Muppets also said "nobody has a veto on the who their neighbours are".

It's getting to be a meme.

This is a common refrain of uninformed or ignorant people. "Been through a difficult journey". "have trauma".

Martin doesn't know these people, he doesn't know how they got there. Some may have flew in, some in a truck, some on a boat, but he has no clue.

It's this ignorant, almost racist line we are constantly fed.

I go past the one in East Wall all the time and you see some people coming and going and sometimes people smoking outside.

I realise ireland can't take any more but this idea that if they're placed somewhere they're all going to molest your children and turn places into no go zones is 100% nonsense and its being peddled by certain factors.

East Wall and surrounds as the same as they always were, a little bit dodgy but nowhere near as bad as they used to he, fugees or not.

I wonder how much this CEO gets paid via the taxpayer to be going into bat on morning Ireland over Magowna.

I bet there are no refugees camping in his front garden. Another one grabbing money out of the situation while pretending to care no doubt.

The Chief Executive of a Limerick-based non-profit organisation that helps promote and protect the rights of migrants, said Ireland is at a crisis point when it comes to reception and accommodation for asylum seekers.

John Lannon of Doras said far right mis-information and lies have contributed to community issues, as has poor communication from the Government.

Heard that interview.we’re all far right racists for questioning what’s going on.one question not asked.where’s the wars in Brazil,Nigeria and South Africa at the minute?

Because we are discussing Magowna and it's all men that are being put there.

Would you like if all the houses on your street were taken over by the government and men packed into them?

I bet you are another mouthpiece who doesn't have any refugees camping on your front lawn either.

How much money do you give them each week to help them out?

what has that got to do with refugees coming to our local towns?

This is about racists who hate refugees being in Ireland and normal people who have no problem with them.

I have donated to these refugees though if you must know.
