…funnily enough, immigration could very well be one of the quicker ways in solving our housing 'supply' problem, as its not a housing 'demand' problem, wont be happening though, so we need to embrace this problem, as its gonna be around well into the next decade….
In Europe FG, FF and any others who meet my requirements to counterbalance the destruction of economic vitality through green nonsense, and the promotion of law and order and a less restrictive and bureaucratic planning system.
My preferences will NOT include any of the myriad proto-fascist and hate based groups usually including 'Ireland' or 'national' in their name.
In the past I would have extended a preference to Labour candidates, but really who knows what they stand for anymore, and Aodhán Ó'Riordáin is a particularly odious wokeist. I also will not give Soc Dems a preference after the Orli Degani debacle in my area. Holly Cairns is incompetent and they need to move her on on die.
In the Locals, it will be candidates who reflect my views on certain economic vitality issues again, but at local level.
labour are all over the place alright, they never done the soul searching required after past failures….
You do understand the Uk has a population of 67 million and Ireland's is just over 5 million don't you ?
To compare numbers is comical, you need to do it as a percentage of population not total numbers. Less than 4,000 people when a population is 13 times smaller is not that great considering that.
"In the year to April 2023, the UK experienced strong migration flows. Estimates have shown that 14,600 people left Ireland to live in the UK, up from 13,400 last year and 18,400 people moved to Ireland from the UK, up from 12,800 in 2022 (See Figure 6 and Table 5)."
Proper working class parties like Sinn Féin and PBP who will ensure that the weakest and most vulnerable have a strong safety net.
I will not vote for any of the nouveau fascist parties who have labelled the “foreigner” as bad.
You know we do not need to make changes to the constitution to have a referendum? The government can call an ordinary referendum for any bill or bit of legislation.
One has just never been called, for obvious reasons.
Ok. What clear and precise wording would you have for this non-constitutional referendum?
Bit of a weird response.
I never said we needed a referendum - nor was i suggesting such a bill. My post was clearly correcting your previous post. A change to the constitution is currently not a requirement for holding a referendum in Ireland.
Ok well if you're going to get pedantic about it my original post didn't say it was a requirement. I said that they are "typically" for making changes to the constitution since every referendum in my memory (and possibly in the history of the state) has been for that purpose.
Yes - as i said an ordinary referendum has never been called. For obvious reasons.
Someone went over our EU MEPs voting records, MEPs that clearly represent the Kremlin and not Ireland

Trite nonsense. You sound like Stephen Collins.
You do realise that their voting record is public right?
I wasn't quibbling their voting record, I was responding to your idiotic assignation.
Their voting record speaks for itself, these MEPs don’t represent the people of Ireland but oligarchs in Kremlin
As I said trite nonsense. Cowardly hiding behind anonymity.
A party, that I had never even heard of until a month ago, The Irish People, are running 55 candidates in the local elections.
I wonder who's funding them?
They have a very large postering operation in Dublin around the quays, taking a very unusual strategy of not naming or showing candidates at all, and in fact, barely mentioning the party name.
This postering operation required very significant funding to get off the ground. You can see the small parties, Greens and SDs are struggling to put out large numbers of posters, so how can a totally new party do something like this?
Their tagline is
"Something has gone seriously wrong with Ireland."
Is it unusual self awareness or political analysis?
They are a loose grouping of independents.

This seems like a nice project for a good investigative journalist to get stuck into.
Speak for yourself Clare (or is it Mick?)
Which of the EU votes that they abstained or voted against on the list you think serves the needs and interests of Irish and EU people?
"Down with this sort of thing" will always get votes.
Ahh are some people getting worried.
It seems some of you lads are always worried about where the funding is coming from for new non established/establishment parties and indeed media outlets/websites.
You lads/laddies always appear very worried that this unknown funding might mean they might represent the views of unknown foreign interests rather than the interests of the Irish people.
Funny how you never seem to question how the established parties don't represent the views of a lot of the Irish people.
A couple thousand goes along way in postering.
Lets not make a mountain out of a mole hill.
This is about 20 years out of date.
Very incisive, Wojak.
The established parties are the ones that a lot of the Irish people vote for. That'll what makes them established.
Just like in a lot of other countries, the times are a changin.
And yet you will vote for the undermining and the destruction of the Irish working class
Cheap labour and no housing
That’s just what they need
Thing is, the controversial independents or Freedom party candidates or whatever else are controversial for good reason. You've got people who are outright Nazis, kick dogs in heads and harass creche/library staff, an arsonist in one case and then run of the mill conspiracy theorists. Overall, they're just gonna eat into each other's small votes cause they're a mix of idiots and thugs.
