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

People coming from Georgia are not being shot at. There are no direct flights to Dublin and they are passing transiting through other European countries as Ireland clearly has economic benefits that stand out.

Fun? You think if you were a refugee in a field in Ireland, it'd be fun?

Silly reply. Let the poster answer. You guys are so angry.

but they won’t be deported either. They know this, NGo’s know this. Are deportation are not up to scratch. I know that might not bothar you and your beliefs system but it makes a mockery of Leo’s rules based immigration.

You a make application it’s refused, you loose an appeal, you are asked to present yourself and nothing happens.

We have had two primary indigenous industries in this country.

Two industries which we have been very good at developing, two industries that have continously been pretty good at bringing in much needed foreign money into this country and offering a fair amount of employment throughout the country and not just in major urban centres.

Those two industries are tourism and agri sector.

Nowadays both are under sever threat of destruction from government parties, in fact all political parties, the media and indeed a lot of people (a lot of posters here) who I would bet are employed by our multinational visitors, NGOs or maybe even arms of the public sector.

The thing is those two industries are the only things we can traditionally rely on when the FDI and multinationals decide the grass is greener somewhere else.

It has come to pass in the past when some foreign multinationals setup manufacturing here.

I am old enough to remember Ford (Cork), DEC (Galway), Wang (Limerick), Dunlop (Cork), Asahi (Kilalla), Semperit (Dublin), Braun (Carlow), Krups (Limerick), Bush Tv (Dublin), Seagate (Clonmel).

Now we have been lucky in that we attracted the likes of Apple, IBM, Dell that have stayed even with changes in fortune and morphed their existing plants into something else.

We have been lucky in that we attracted and kept pharma/medical devices down through the years, but the list of big names above that left should be a lesson in that we can never bank on the future.

Spending a fortune now on asylum industry/refugee industry is akin to the madness in construction fueled by cheap credit.

Just looking at the economics, never mind the social costs.

We are beggaring long term legitimate industries for very short therm gains for some connected ones, this time in accommodation and NGO sectors, all ultimately on the taxpayers dime.

It is spending money we don't have, it is not creating or bringing any wealth into the country.

It will not end well.

I see there are 35 people from the U.S claiming Asylum here.

One lad called Clyde Turrentine, Google him. He has a mugshot from the US

THEY DON'T CARE.

The ones cheering for this lunacy will tell you that it is great that a small village with a hotel normally empty this time of year is now full year round.

Shure isn't it giving work to some in the hotel.

Isn't it giving work to the NGOs, caterers and the likes of the cash&carry that has government contract to supply the food.

And besides isn't it making the place more exotic rather than having just pasty Irish round the place.

That would of course be dollop of self hatred these people have for their own.

But the thing these ones are not factoring into the equation is the people now staying in these hotels ...

• aren't buying gifts from the local gift shop
• aren't taking day trips using local tourist suppliers
• aren't buying lessons at local surf centre or riding stables
• aren't eating out in the local restaurants
• aren't hiring cars or bikes
• aren't drinking out in the local bars

And most importantly they aren't bringing actual foreign money into the country.

In 2019 foreign tourists (including NI) it is estimated by Failte Ireland added €5.6 billion to our economy.

That is money into the country.

The guests now sitting in hotels in Ballvaughan, Killarney, Bunduron are actually taking places that foreign paying guests could pay for with non Irish money.

Instead the guests in these hotels are being paid for by the taxpayers of this country.

If someone 20, 30, hell even 10 years ago had said we should send people on social welfare for a month to stay in a hotel in Killarney there would have been uproar.

Well we are now economically doing exactly that for someone that only first stepped foot in the country hours before.

It is sheer lunacy.

When you say 'call a halt to it', how would you propose stopping refugees from boarding a plane or boat to Ireland? And if your plan is to deport them on arrival, what country would you deport them to? No obligation on any country in Europe to accept refugees and asylum seekers we wish to deport.

Overrun by Africans?

People working in our hospitality sector is a problem for you? I thought tourism was important to this country.

How are they overrun by Africans then

And we have the right to immediately reject all applications from a small number of countries that make up a significant proportion of applicants. Same day or next day deportation will take a lot of stress off the system.

Which rights exactly do I not care about?

You know what I couldn't give a flying fook what you term them.

We have had enough, they are costing us an absolute fortune and are little by little destroying our country.

Time for no more and time for most here already to be returned to whence they came.
