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

I'm sure they will have migrants voting too, anything to get a vote, get back in etc.,

You should be a citzen for at least 5 years before being allowed vote or run in elections imho

I think you are beginning to confuse yourself now - it is exactly what you suggested. You even say it again on the last line of your post………..

Referencing some of your previous posts:

1: If it was easier for some people to come here on visas, then we would see a reduction in some claims

2: Perhaps visa requirements need to be looked at? Change them to make it easier for people to come here.

etc etc.

Yet again you completely miss the point of all this.

1. What you are suggesting is not the point of the visa system.
2. Making it easier for people to come here for the purpose of reducing the numbers claiming asylum defeats the purpose of both systems.
3. What does doing this actually achieve with the exception of reducing the numbers claiming asylum? It literally addresses none of the problems.
4. You do realise there is a reason these people have not applied for a visa in the first place?

Why is it just IPAs though, Why not all immigrants? surely everyone in the country used and puts pressure on services

I knew it was only a matter of time before he was cancelled by the wokeratti!

Nothing to do with longstanding airtime election rules.

It's good to see people admitting that a factor in their displeasure at the current situation is where these people are coming from and who they are. Typically, people won't want to see people arriving from places they wouldn't choose to visit themselves. If we are see increasing numbers coming from such places we're entitled to have an issue with it.

There are many people from safe countries claiming asylum, I'm sure that there are those that are successful. However, safe countries are in general,

'those that on the basis of the legal situation, the application of the law within a democratic system and the general political circumstances, it can be shown that there is generally and consistently no persecution [...], no torture or inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment and no threat by reason of indiscriminate violence in situations of international or internal armed conflict“.'

There are those that do not meet the criteria, those persons clearly wish to leave their own country, for whatever reasons. Claiming asylum can be seen as a last resort/last ditch attempt to leave their country and start a better life.

We have currently a shortage in many different industries, including trades, health care,social care etc etc Creating visas with less restrictions (such as having a certain income very month) in order for people to come and start a working life, is most definitely not an abuse of the visa system. Allow visas for people to train, in jobs.

If we extend just giving out visas to anyone what’s the point in having a visa system to have some control over limiting entry to those who have skills we need?

Would a lad from Somalia with no English or limited education be given the same visa as a nurse from the Philippines who could walk into a job here and would face trouble getting accommodation because she’s competing with said Somalian and all the new receipients of visas.

But of course the reply is we need to suddenly magic up 10’s of thousands of new houses to accommodate all new arrivals and maybe our native population if they are lucky. Given our size , we’ll never catch up on housing, is it not obvious we can only house so much of the worlds population?
Nigerians are coming here in increasing numbers, we have obviously become very a attractive destination for a country of 200 million

How do you explain why 200 million of them haven't already come into the country? Isn't it just as easy as just hopping on a flight?

It's shocking that the partner of a member of the Irish freedom party has a sob story that completely falls in line with her child's father's political leanings.....

Some pile of rameis!

How long do you think would take to build enough houses for those stuck in direct provision awaiting own door accommodation as well as those in tents not to mention all those Ukrainians living in hotels looking for houses.

Need to factor in the predicted 15000 asylum seekers due to arrive every year.

Last and obviously least houses for the local population

If only we could have some control at the border

HHehe, SF are simply gagging to go into coalition with FF or FG or both! If you don't believe me then just ask them when they come canvassing. And don't be fobbed off with their stock answer " we have no intention ". There's already tension coming from the real SF headquarters in Belfast who are getting tired of free state SF failing to make it into power.
