I hate this man and this party with every fiber in my body, what an atrocious party

O’Gorman further acknowledged that Ireland is “going to see higher levels of migtion going forward.”

“WE KNOW WE’RE GOING TO SEE HIGHER LEVELS OF MIGRATION GOING FORWARD”

“We know we’re going to see higher levels of migration going forward in the same way every other European county is,” he said.

“The system that I inherited wasn’t fit for purpose when we were seeing 2,000 or 3,000 people seeking international protection every year, it’s certainly not fit for purpose when we’re seeing 16,000 to 20,000 people seeking international protection.

“So that’s why we will argue for a core migration agency that will deal with those two functions – both the sourcing of accommodation and the speeding up of processing of international protection applicants as well.”

Lies and more lies from are friend ROG. Scare mongering anyone who has serious concerns about immigration and throwing around the old trope of calling the good citizens of Ireland "Far Right" a comment that in this day of age means **** all.

The system we even have now isn't fit for purpose, what world is he living in? Sure lets give these people modular homes, lets spending millions on them…….

“We know we’re going to see higher levels of migration going forward in the same way every other European county is"

Of course this is just pure utter bullshit but it's no suprise the amount of crap spewing from this man would make your head spin. The once poster boy for why a country shouldnt be letting this illegals in "Sweden" is slowly and surely reducing it's numbers of these illegals coming and Denmark is doing a brilliant job

Back in May, Ireland received the largest per capita number of asylum seekers of any other EU country in the month of May – even more than Mediterranean states like Greece, Spain and Cyprus. Think about this for a minute, a country on the edge of Europe beating Greece, Spain and Cyprus. That's absolutely nuts!!! This is happening because the policies of this government and especially ROG's Green party.

"He went on to add that what he described as “far-right” political parties would seek to spin the immigration issue to their advantage in the upcoming election, but claimed that the issue was coming up less frequently in recent months."

The supposed "Far Right" parties don't need to "Spin" everyone can see how much damage is causing to our country with Rural Ireland getting decimated while a new industry has reared it's ugly head in our country, the industry of immigration where these rich individuals want to make money of this blight at the expense of local residents

ROG defending the absolute disgraceful decision of giving these illegals medical cards:

"He said that often individuals were coming to Ireland “with absolutely nothing”, and given that they were unable to work for the first six months after working here under the current system, and only received a €38 payment per week, it was right to give them medical cards."

Lets get this straight, these people do not come here with absolutely nothing, it's an absolute myth. How do they pay people traffickers, how do they pay for flights, how do they pay a taxi to bring them down from Northern Ireland

An absolute shameful myth and it's a reason why they're coming to this country because politicians like ROG who will give these people everything on a silver platter.

We all know people who are terminally sick but yet get refused a medical card but these people just swan into our country and just get a medical card on the spot

Our health service in on the brink with doctors leaving the country in droves but nope lets give these people medical cards so they can pack the doctors office and the Irish citizen has to wait weeks for an appointment

Disgusting

The Jordanians probably got thrown out of the UK and decided that they wont get the same treatment here.

Economic migrates or benefit tourist, what ever way you want to look at it

Huge migrant centres are going up around kill in Kildare and Thorntonhall, Meath and many other places around the country.

However there's still death by a thousand cuts going on with small hotels being commendered.

"Displaced people" my rear end. They have turned their nose up at what is on offer on their journey through multiple countries.

The SF politician is talking against it.

That is something.

However the way that party tries to have their cake and eat it on the subject of migration means they simply can't be taken seriously.

What I don’t understand about Roderic is he never even hints this is not sustainable. If a billion people decided to rock up to Ireland and claim asylum he’d just motor on and say we need to provide accommodation.

This will end up with extremist politicians gaining power. This is exactly the type of politics which led to trump.

Housing is becoming increasingly unobtainable for regular working people and yet people with no ties to the state can get permanent houses in a small number of years. The same people once settled will be in the Irish times complaining about how nasty we are and how are culture needs to adapt.

I think you guys are really going to miss Roderic when he's gone.

The question is who'll take the role of despotic cabal mastermind/gormless 'woke' fool when he's gone?

I'm so sick of these chancer 'bogus' migrants I keep hearing about…

Telling us they're leaving Ireland because they can't afford housing!

Yet they'll bypass multiple countries with plenty of affordable houses on their way to take homes from hard-working people in Australia and New Zealand.

Said nobody ever.

Mod Edit: Warned for discussing moderation on thread

Easy to preach when you as usual refuse to admit that our system is openly abused because it can. Your repeated claims of our "hard border approach" does not seem to exist (surprise surprise).You cannot even entertain the idea that Ireland is a soft touch, such is your devotion to your agenda. Your ego will not allow you to accept you are wrong. The fact you insist that everyone is legitimate and no one would ever dare take advantage of our governments lack lustre approach is as always laughable and just shows how fanatical you are.

That legal right is going to be binned one way or another just because it is not sustainable.

There may be 20k this year and 20k next but by year three there will be unrest, bigger protests, more evidence the whole enterprise isn't working and there will be no other option than getting rid of this one way or another.

You ever consider a political run 😉😁

After following this for twenty years I have come to the conclusion that 100% of AS are bogus.

They may have the right to claim asylum, yes, you are correct about that.

But their claim itself is false.

One of the big problems here, is that we let them stay, even where their claim fails.

Recently, a substantial subset of them are also illegal immigrants, as they arrive without travel documents, after having deliberately hidden or discarding their travel documents.

This has been confirmed over and over again, by airlines, by the AS themselves, by Ministers. It is not a statement open to debate.

Then our laws need to be changed.

That's making a mockery of our border controls.

Anybody can stroll in illegally with no documents, say the phrase "I claim asylum" and suddenly their illegal entry is ignored.

What a great country.

I am going to use this when the canvassers call.

Baseless speculation to follow your unsubstantiated anecdote.

It was not my anecdote .
