Immigration to Ireland - policies, challenges, and solutions *Read OP before posting*

Lad what are you actually on about? Of course we only want good, well educated immigrants. What sort of simpleton wants criminal's? Who wants unskilled or low skilled given all it does is drive down wages and lead to increased poverty?

I assume you thought you had a zinger there but it's like trying to shame someone having a get together in their own home and going "what do ya mean you are only letting in people you know?!"

Ennis was funny one, filled up pre anchor baby referendum but for some reason when the recession hit, the non European population dropped dramatically, coincided with feck all council houses getting built and social welfare getting slashed to bits at the time 🤔

Mary lou smelling the coffee now

Ireland’s human rights watchdog has challenged the Government in the High Court over its failure to provide suitable accommodation and supports for asylum seekers.

Ms Justice Niamh Hyland gave the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission (IHREC) leave yesterday to take judicial review proceedings, which will return to the court on January 23rd, when the State will be represented.

IHREC is seeking mandatory orders that would require the Minister for Equality and Integration Roderic O’Gorman to establish a system that vindicates the fundamental rights of international protection applicants, senior counsel Eoin McCullough told the court.

There are currently 259 applicants for asylum, or international protection, without shelter who have been offered €113.80 per week, which, although higher than the previous €38.80, is not enough to secure accommodation, Mr McCullough said. The men are also directed to places offering sleeping bags and tents if required, he added.

At what stage can the government just say, sorry but we unfortunately don't have unlimited accommodation available for everyone who turns up in the country. No doubt the IHREC will be looking for damages paid to these 259 applicants.

I'm glad somebody mentioned that. It drives me crazy, importing American ideology based on their own royally f*cked up society. The removal of the statues at the Shelbourne Hotel was a perfect example of that. Destroying part of what remains of historic Dublin to satisfy an ignorant and ill-informed American obsession with race.

You are right. It would divide the government from the majority of the population

Like they're being debated now?

Misinformation similar to - 'We have international obligations to help all these people fleeing wars and persecution From Georgia, Albania and war ravaged South Africa'

You really haven't a clue about the impact of these centres being imposed on small towns/ villages.

Yes, a bit of a pivot going on in SF. The truth and their polling is frightening the horses.

I know towns with these centres and there are no issues.

Yes it seems like it's best to lie to people about we have no choice, ignore locals concerns and call everyone far right and refuse to discuss it.

This seems to be working great with a riot on the streets and arson attacks.

This is only going to get worse the longer it goes on.

But it seems asking the people to discuss the topic will cause too more trouble.

While everyone knows the real reason is because the governent will get a resounding no to what they are doing.

Incidently, in recent weeks Islamist attacks, planned to coincide with Christmas, were thwarted in Germany and Denmark.

Despite this, security experts warn the entire EU remains at 'huge risk' of Islamic violence over Christmas.

The Irish political establishment, in blatant service to external and corporate interests, forced multiculturalism upon Ireland through mass immigration without national consultation, demand, consent or mandate.

It's done.

Are they now, at least, equipped to manage the inevitable consequences of their "success"? Are they prepared for the realities of securing a multicultural society, as the Germans and Danes are?

I am not optimistic on this front.

People do identify themselves by ethnicity on the Census though - 'Black' and 'Black Irish' and 'Asian' and 'Asian Irish' are some of the official categories that can be ticked on the form (but have the option to not state what ethnicity they are of course).

It's irrational if you believe all Muslims are terrorists and women haters

Not all but enough for it to be a major issue in most if not all countries that welcomed them.
