Ireland's Refugee Policy cont. Please read OP before posting

Is that all you got? Someone is offended by paddy? Bonus point for Patriot.

Any comment on the unfortunate beheading incident in sligo? Or the fact a refugee family living in a council house provided by the state is suing to get 350k cash back?

Accomodation crisis in sligo for students after student apartments jumped on the refugee money. Deport the palanis n free up a house for students who have something to contribute.

There are many words that can be used to describe the Sligo attacks. Horrific and the victims were very unfortunate to have that happen to them. You’re really reaching to try to catch someone out by the words they use

Are you really arguing that unfortunate is not a good word to describe what happened to the victims in Sligo? As I said there are many words that can be used to describe what happened. What you’re doing in trying to pick apart words is an extremely cheap trick

We are constantly told that there is no issue with Africans or African culture and they we should welcome as many as possible to Ireland with no reservations as that would be racist.

At the same time, we are constantly told that each and every one of the 50 plus African countries are far too dangerous to deport any African that doesn't get Asylum. Both of these statements can't be true so which one is it?

In reality, it's the people that make a Country unsafe for other people to inhabit. South Africa has one of the highest crime rates in the world so we should be very, very cautious about taking anybody from there.

That will be interesting. Who would want to take on such a toxic portfolio if RoG is not returned. Whoever it is, it would be great if they could give as much attention to other parts of their brief, ie, children, disability and youth which seem to have been downgraded as less important areas than integration and equality in the past few years. Or maybe that department needs to be split as it's not working well in any area now because there needs to be such a sustained focus on refugees and ipas.

Big brouhaha in athlone over a centre for asylum seekers

Local Sinn Féin TD Sorca Clarke on Tuesday night told the Irish Daily Mail she is opposed to the plan as services are already stretched in the town

The councillors will meet in public this morning to discuss the plan, with the sole item on the agenda being to consider whether they will issue an order under Section 31 of the Local Government (Sanitary Services) Act 1948 to ‘prohibit the erection or retention of temporary dwellings on lands at Lissywollen, Athlone’.

i'd say that's the first time SF has had any use for a Section 31…

@Durnan

Re your question ...

Look up Ms Enitan Pamela Izevbekhai. She was deported from Ireland in 2011 after a lenghtly legal fight which went to the Irish and European highcourt I believe (correct me if I'm wrong).. it was proven she lied on her Asylum application about her girls at threat in Nigeria from FGM and lied that a child died, and a host of other false claims and false documents. The lady and her kids were on welfare with the state paying their rented house in Sligo for years.

For some reason the dept of justice persued this lady, they were like a dog with a bone until they got her on that plane. They were right, this is the law, this is their job. I appreciate this took a lot of resources and cost a fortune, but surely they should have learnt from this and should have implented processing centres, no welfare, no rental house, etc starting back in 2011. It would have deterred the masses we are seeing today.

Heard on radio recently about some irish citizens who mislaid their passports while on holiday, one in spain and the other in canada. They were told they would not be allowed to come home without getting new passports. Each had to over-stay their visits abroad until their passport issue was sorted. So it seems that some people definitely need a passport to enter the country. Not everyone though 😏

Of course native Irish are guardians of Irish culture, the same way native aboriginals or native americans are guardians of theirs. If you think our traditions are going to be kept alive by immigrants then we may forget about our culture altogether. Immigrants bring their own culture and traditions with them and that's fantastic.Nowhere in my original post that was deleted, did I say there should be no immigration, but there should be limits on how many we take in. Otherwise in 100 years poor old paddy irishman/woman will be an old relic of the past, living in pockets in his own country.

"Romantic Ireland's dead and gone, it's with O'Leary in the grave"….
Loyalty or love of one’s culture or nation was long ago replaced in Ireland by a loyalty only to one’s economic class, to such an extent that I would hesitate to call this a nation any longer. It's just a collection of economic interests governed by a tiny class of self-interested graspers and your citizenship means little more than your PPS number does at this point.
This sad situation is of course, the much desired outcome for the multicultists, who ironically, care absolutely nothing about culture or refugees for that matter. Which is why it's pointless to debate facts or policy with such individuals, because you're operating under the erroneous assumption that they care about this country, it’s good governance or the refugees and migrants that are entering it in overwhelming droves. They don't, not a wit.
What they care about is their rootless, cosmopolitan economic 'laptop class'. We have become a nation largely composed of narcissists who view culture, nationalism and even social cohesion itself, as a threat to their ability to live a solipsistic existence with no demands, expectations or judgement from wider society, one they are determined to atomize and then cannibalize.
As the old commies used to say, ‘five fingers make a fist’. What these solipsists really desire is the scattering of that fist’s carpals and metacarpals across the graveyard of a dead society, and they see mass immigration as a means to that end. Like I said, they care about refugees and migrants only in so far as it enriches them and furthers that goal. The literal worst thing in the world to these people, their sole taboo and fear is the word ‘no’. That’s why they support any cracked idea to the death, because if everything is permissible, that facilitates their own perverse and narcissistic ends and if society has to burn to meet those, so be it.

A complete waste of court time here, judge calling out mindless conspiracy theories and them claiming to speak for everyone.

Pity there's no opposition in government no alternative to the racket being stopped.
