Time for a zero refugee policy? - *Read OP for mod warnings - updated 11/5/24*

Is the whole point of it not to secure the EU's external borders, speed up processing of claims, make it easier to ID applicants so they can't seek asylum in multiple countries, etc?

Hypothetically, if every other EU country were to opt in except Ireland, would we not be completely flooded with IPAs whose applications were rejected in other EU countries?

You disappoint again. A moderately intelligent person who is media literate to use that phrase, knows full well there are many ways to write a profiling article. To choose what issues to pick, what phraseology to use, what to edit out and what to emphasise.

You or I could easily write that same article and deliver quite different results. It amounted to a deliberate attack on publicly elected representatives, edited to slant one way.

And ironically, this from the 'national broadcaster' which regularly refers to the importance of the 'truth' & 'trust' and which lectures the public often on the issues of online attacks with misinformation and so on.

This is lies.

O'Flynn is just another of those moderates that wants to steal votes from people who really want to protect our culture and people.

Tweets are b******t, we need to control our borders properly and represent the real Irish people.

It's just deflection to give us the soft options FFG and their cronies want.

These guys are so far away from the real right in this country they might as well be wearing che t-shirts and running their own NGOS.

There's plenty we can do now.

Make people see we need Irish people to protect Irish borders.

Protect our streets.

Stop the foney moderates.

Increase our Irish fertility rates.

Ok, so I've been doing a bit more reading and the 30,000 relocations per year is the starting point, rising to 120,000 per year in the future.

Each country will have to have adequate places available to host applicants until their case is decided, so for us ultimately we would need around 2,600 places in reception centres. Now - and here's the really hilarious bit - once those places are filled, additional asylum seekers 'will be directed into the ordinary asylum procedure to prevent overcrowding'

Maybe it's me but what exactly is changing for Ireland?? I mean we're not opting into the screening process which would be useful, and apart from agreeing to take a certain number (plus their families when they arrive) we'll have the same mess we have now ie. 'the ordinary asylum procedure.' !!

Harris is a IINO.

Irish In Name Only.

We are about to hand over another massive part of what makes a country sovereign to the EU all based on a lie that we can't control our own borders and immigration policy like any other sovereign country outside Europe.

They'll call the next elections a "General Election". It will not be a "national election", it will be a regional administrative election with a governor (Taoiseach).

The sovereignty we are giving away we will never get back.

A referendum is the only fair way to resolve a constitutional matter like this.

And that would be a much better outcome for us that the current disastrous policies or lack of. We need to grow some balls and be like the Danes - if that means more cases going to France, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Italy etc - well & good, they'll soon get some balls and we'll see a concerted effort across the EU.

The only people in Ireland who would not welcome a drastic cut in asylum seeker applications are those making money and careers out of it a) the NGOs and charities carving out a defence b) businesses providing accommodation and services and c) employers looking to exploit cheap labour.

The government will fight tooth and nail against a referendum being held on this pact. It would be an even bigger rejection than the last two they held. Would probably be an 80%+ vote against it being adopted. They'll only let us vote on mickey mouse issues these days.

Everyone has a History! Just relaying the source of 'the vote on the Pact has been suspended until next week' where I came accros it. Didn't mean to be promoting anyone!

Una McGurk has a poor history as well, don't see you reply to the other poster on that?

And when the rest of Europe has just as big, or bigger (as may be the case already with the Pact), deterrents, what do we do then?

Build more and pay for more detention camps?

What'll it do for cheap labour if people disappearing from these camps, as they already do in Denmark, are working undocumented because trying their luck elsewhere in Europe is no longer an option?

Plenty of work for NGOs too, looking after people traumatized from the camps.
