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

You have heard I presume of planning legislation that facilitates the public in expressing their views on developments in their area??? Do you think planning permission is a good idea? Or one that can just be dispensed with?

So if you protest peacefully and emailed your local T.D's constantly to stop something being built next door to you, and one night the doors are open and people start flooding in, you're just going to shrug your shoulders then yea?

The people getting evicted are sourced with new apartments so room is made for my applicants.

Its insane.

Whose factory?

People can also object at the ballot box if they're not happy with this particular type of exempted change of use.

They didn't.

The rest of us just get on with our lives.

arrest the rioters - who said otherwise?

Patrick Quinlan did nothing wrong and certainly nothing to warrant the repeated assaults on him. in fact he was standing alone, then walked away alone and there was no violence in the vicinity to justify anything that happened him.

the man against the wall - backing on to ard ne greine estate (i think) told the garda he was going home. put up his hands and was still thrown to the ground and beaten with a baton. he was alone not resisting … arrest him if he was a suspect but no need to batter him.

people were pepper sprayed for standing there.

I think you are being willfully ignorant with your comments - beat everybody cos of the misbehavior of some. The gardai should have a higher standard. the same hang em high crowd would be crying if this happened in russia/china.

you mighnt like it but people have a right to protest, block the road and do so vocally.

the garda were a disgrace yesterday

and the politicians who defend that behaviour are a horrible sort

I know that but i dont know what point you are making ?

this is the second example i'm talking about.

I hope he takes legal action against the state.

Anti social behaviour will not be tolerated in this country.

These violent yobs deserve to be subdued and arrested.

Give me immigrants anyday over them.

Not leafy suburbs.

Happens quite regularly. People work hard to buy a house, or just to pay rent, and the neighbours from hell move in next door.

Quite often people end up living next to all sorts of real trouble. Not just a perception of trouble they have from reading Gript.ie or being buried in anti-immigration social media.

Once the guards are better prepared, hopefully these things won`t go that far anymore.
Just have a look to France, Germany how these issues are dealt with from the police side. Much more effective and you won`t have half of the local youth playing urban warfare anymore as they will face consequences.

Definitely! The anti-social behaviour and drug dealing should be confined to all the neglected socially deprived housing estates dotted around Dublin so those sat behind their laptop keyboards miles away from these areas don't have to come onto message boards demanding heads to be cracked open by Gardai.

Absolutely sickening the amount of money we are paying out, where is this money to fix our broken health care? Nope lets spend it on these illegals

Im sick and tired of this **** tbh, it's vomiting inducing

What exactly is the plan after hundreds of thousands of refugees over many years are brought to this country and given citizenship by the government?

Is there a plan to educate them in adult education centres so that they speak English, have arithmetical ability and know enough about this country to assimilate and live in it? Should they then take a citizenship test as is required in other countries?

How are they to be housed because surely setting up an Irish version of Brazilian favelas in working class areas like Coolock is not a long term solution? Are they expected to get jobs to pay for their own accommodation costs? How can they afford to live in Dublin if the Irish are emigrating because they cannot afford to live in Dublin?

What is the expectation if they are married with children and their wife and children are abroad? Should they automatically be allowed to join them?

What are the implications for this country and its predominantly Christian faith? with other religions being accommodated how are places of worship going to be set up?

There simply is NO PLAN from FF/FG and their paid off QUANGOs and NGOs except to state that the plan seems to be: "Dump these refugees in working class areas and if they have a problem with it get the media/courts to call them scumbags, right wing and/or sentence them"

Maybe there hired by government. Wouldn't put it past them at this stage🤣

And they wonder why people have no respect for the Garda.The POU is totally unsuited for this type of policing, to chase down a non threatening protestor and viciously assault him is contemptible.

GSOC should be investigating this whole fiasco but they probably wont if none of the victims complain, where are all the civil right groups raising concerns about this excessive police brutality?not a peep out of them, I assume they only care about people that have the same political leanings as them.

This country is in crisis.
