Why are the government intent on forcing through the EU Migration Pact?

The default position of any Irish Government is "lets be good little Europeans"

Are you the same guy who thought the far right was "the 90%" when they got 0.4% of the vote?

That's why we need a referendum on it, to see what the majority think

Any Government that is FF and especially FG are desperate or determined to show how diverse and multicultural the country is.

That is why we have 20% of the current population born to non-Irish here or abroad.

I'm certainly not against immigration but I don't know would I hand out so many work visas. Is it because employers want cheap labour?

As for asylum seekers the system was a **** joke since the Anchor Baby problem from 1999 - 2004 (I think or was it 2005). However almost 80% of the population voted no to that yet they still haven't a good asylum seeking process in this country. That is even before the war in Ukraine where we took in over 100,000 Ukrainians. I'm not giving out about them but it's just we now also have "tent city".

Apparently at one stage 80% of deportation order were not enforced. People know that Ireland is a soft touch.

I think this EU Migration Pact should be put to a public vote but little EU lickarses like FG won't do that, as they know that immigration and housing are such sensitive and urgent topics right now. They are so out of touch with the population.

I think we should opt out like Denmark.

Should we run a referendum on everything you don't like?

Can you detail your understanding of work visas in this country.?

Which parts of the pact do you have an issue with?

The Government got their arse kicked in the last referendum, no way will they risk it happening again.

Based on the government's record on housing, health, crime, immigration, we can be guaranteed that when it is passed, they will make a tits of it.

Yes, the European and local elections.

In what way does the local and European elections indicate we want less control over migration into the country and thus more immigration. Did they not just indicate that the following of the far right is pretty much non existent.

The European elections gave us an opportunity to elect people who were against the pact or against immigration.

So am I correct in saying we have to take our share of IPAs in Europe based on our population and GDP AND 80% of IPAs coming across the border with the North. I suspect we are being screwed and no other country will have such arrangements.
