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

But are they ,it seem many return to the countries they claim to be fleeing from for holidays and family occasions....

In one case a chap arrived from South Africa claiming asylum under the guise of fleeing the Persecution of lesbians in South Africa

Talk about infantile argument. Wow

1 & 1 still = 2 (even after a red herring and baseless assertion about there being loads of arriving Muslim IPA’s that are members of some mythical LGBTQ society)

They are arriving from countries that practice sharia law. They were born into that regime. It is the very paradigm of their thought & actions in their lives. This same sharia law has existing capital punishments for homosexuals and regular executions for women based on false claims by ruthless clerics in their regions. FACT.

if I was a Irish member of the LGBTQ or an irish woman who is supporting the arrival of countless fleet loads of these sharia law individuals to this country I’d have a serious reconsideration of my position.

As a husband to a wife & a father of a daughter I know my opposition is 100% stern and will remain so.

Ah no point talking to you then if ypu take my post out of context like that.

I never said they were likely ALL lgbtq just that they may not want to live in an oppressive society and many of the Afghanis are fleeing just that.

Also Somalis.

Doesn't mean they give up their religion however. And nobody should be forced to, ever.

But to flee to a liberal country like Ireland knowing that we are the opposite of Sharia.. Come on, either they are thick or the argument is!

By the way your beliefs as regards oppression and women align with mine except I am facing a different direction as a woman, a wife and a mother.

Goodnight.

So were duty bound to the rest of the world but not our own country. Ya couldn't make up more horseshite if ya could.

Our duty is not to leave the place a shithole for our kids.

For the life of me I can’t understand why the centre parties don’t pivot in immigration.

They know that immigration is too high, so why not say we have to reduce it, while still being strongly against any disrespectful or violent behaviour against asylum seekers.

Commin sense has left FF and FG in this one.

Please don't give the illegal economic migrants the idea of claiming asylum because they are gay. We have enough chancers.

I'm sure many of these people are fleeing crimes they committed, debt or other personal reasons to try make things better for themselves, this is not what international protection is for. We cant verify that though because they are unwilling to verify or share the most basic details about themselves.

Also, Many is not good enough. It should be all people who avail of International protection, ie Syrians or Ukrainians in legitimate danger. That is not the reality though.

Not true. Many people seeking refuge are LGBTQ+ people and are doing so because they are being persecuted. The asylum system already allows for this and rightfully so.

Many is a subjective word to be fair, ten a year could be many to one person, 1,000 not many to someone else. Genuine figures/percentages are more helpful.

It seems to be a free for all, I'd imagine those figures don't exist to be fair. Checking the reason for asylum applications is probably seen as inappropriate.

What protest was that then?

Rumour is this new one is different. I think Cork Student Village is already being used to house refugees or Ukrainians

Oh dear, talk about getting the wrong end of the stick! Where did I say anything about restricting opinion anywhere and what is this "New Republic" that you assign to me? What are you on about!

Those who support or are neutral about the issue ARE members of the "cohorts" mentioned. Can you argue that they are not? I said nothing about anyone not having rights to speak did I? And I don't know what point you are making about democracy either. You might clarify.

I don't want to descend into a personal argument, I am not like that, but we have a problem here and it is getting serious now.

Yeah yeah heard it all before Cruella over in London.

Has the Tainaiste made any statement on the student accommodation in Cork yet? Should be interesting when/if he does.
