Mod warnings
This thread is about Ireland's refugee policy, not immigration by any other means
Please remain civil to each other. If you think someone is posting inaccurate information, or indeed trying to twist facts to suit theur agenda, do not accuse them of lying. Point out their inaccuracies and move on.
No discussion of anything before the courts permitted
There are threads dedicated to conflict in Ukraine and the Middle East. The situation in those countries is not for discussion here, although the impact on Ireland of refugees entering the country to escape such conflicts can be discussed
No anecdotes without evidence. It's not constructive posting and only leads to disagreements over things that may or may not have happened.

Can people please discuss the topic in a civil manner going forward - I have had to issue two warnings to posters who simply are insistent on making things personal. A person's background is certainly not up for discussion, and making generalisations like 'your kind' or 'your lot' is not discussing the topic!
However - this thread is about Ireland's refugee policy - it is not about ALL immigration and conflating the two is not fair to posters trying to discuss the topic in good faith. If you want to discuss the topic of the thread then please continue in a civil manner with this in mind. I will be adding this note to the OP of the thread.
Report posts that you feel are problematic, do not respond to them on thread. Any issues, PM me, do not respond to this on thread.

It shouldn't have to be repeatedly pointed out that this thread is only for discussing Ireland's refugee policy, not all forms of migration - further instances of doing so will now have to be warned as people cannot seem to stay on topic. Do not respond to this on thread
