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

The vast majority are being accommodated in hotels I would imagine. The most recent figure i saw said 77,000 hotel beds were being occupied by IPAs and AS. Now that we are into the winter months that figure will probably increase markedly.

Just got a chance to watch Immigration - How Politics Failed Britain, recorded the other week. As another poster said, the parallels from over there 20 years ago and what's happening in Ireland now are striking, not least then Home Secretary David Blunkett refusing to be drawn on and getting visibly angry when pressed on whether his party had an upper limit for migration. A question that's often body swerved by the open borders brigade here.

Meanwhile, over in Athlone, another doctor/engineer gets his credentials out in the local health centre.

We're behind the UK/rest of Europe when it comes to immigration and the problems associated with it and our politicians rather than learning lessons from other countries that have been through this instead have this blind faith that nothing like that could ever happen here

Ok. I will state what is essentially happening

Ireland gets collosal money from multinationals.

Said money funds asylum racket with it being laundered in open and passing into the possession of well connected hotel operators.

Society suffers through housing and everything else becoming unaffordable.

Politicians gaslight population as far right when they complain even coming up with a hate speech law.

Opposition completely fails the working class and despite all their admittedly illustrious history gets arguably more hate than any other parties. ( They fully deserve it)

Tories took over and kept promising lower immigration but couldn't do anything either.

They want to brush it under the carpet

Lithuania brings in new laws from Jan 1 25.. Seems sensible

It clearly isn't , no matter what the few posters here seem to think. If it were of high importance to voters, you would see that reflected in the political parties aims, manifestos etc.

There is probably more rooms contracted out to the state tonight than occupied by paying guests.

It still happens in Dublin but its harder to notice. A new hotel opened in Rathmines earlier this year and was immediately put into use as asylum seeker accommodation. There's no sign over the door. Down the street, there's another hotel, which was rented out in studios, now being converted into more IPA accommodation.

There is demand for all those workers, but they will struggle to afford rent in the cities, and will never be able to afford a mortgage. They will go on the housing list and rely on HAP, so basically the taxpayer is subsidising these industries.

Been saying that for ages. Why we should be paying to subsidise these unviable businesses. If your going to give houses to all n sundry from outside the island. Give it all irish first. From low paid worker to professional

If he wins the case I will be alleviating my pains anywhere I want 🥳

Immigration has just slid out of the headlines in recent months, the issue remains the same as it was, the government have been savvy enough to get people out of tents and hidden from sight.

Post election I would expect to see a return of immigration as an issue in the news cycle, it had to be swept under the rug over the last few months to avoid the fury of the electorate.

Our government doesn't care about Irish people or the asylum seekers entering the country. All they're doing is fulfilling a requirement for their EU pals so they can line up cushy jobs in Brussels in the future. They fail everyone and reap the rewards themselves. The Irish political class are the absolute dregs of humanity.

This isnt true. There are IPAs housed in some of the wealthiest sreas of Dublin/the country.

Ballsbridge, Blackrock, Rathmines...IPA accommodation in all of them.

SF arent going to restrict asylum immigration anyway, so voting them in wont change the policy in the least.

Indeed. If you"ve concerns over asylum seekers coming into this country, SF is the last party you'd want to be voting for, considering whats going on in the world at the moment.

With Trump getting full control of US policy, the refugee crisis is only going to get worse in the Gaza region, sadly.
