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

Only after every Russian in EU is sent packing home, sure they tell us every day they didn’t start a war

Can you provide some more information on that please.

You are not going to get clean if your life is sitting on the streets all day and into a hostel for a few hours at night.

I am sure their are many who ended up homeless and turned to drugs and drink as a coping mechanism.

The government should be providing these people with proper refuge and a chance to turn their life around.

I have no idea what your last point is supposed to mean, if you offered a homeless person a warm room and meals they would take that over sleeping rough or in hostels.

I think the salient point here is that if the government curtailed the admittance and accomodation of IPAS, almost all of whom are bogus and none of whom need be here, it would free up enormous space and resources to combat the problem of native homelessness.

As well as a growing plethora of other national problems which the establishment has a much greater, more immediate moral duty to confront.

There are plenty of single men and women living in hotels. Not all counties have homeless hostels. Hotels all over the country are housing homeless single people.

Emergency accomodation is hostels, hotels, B&Bs all over the country.

Aside from the usual hateful rhetoric and unsubstantiated/false claims about IPAs…

Do you think any FF/FG government is ever going to get serious about tackling homelessness?

I can't see how it could be done without tackling the housing crisis in general.

Meanwhile, largely due to the anti-immigration movement weakening the opposition and driving voters back to FF/FG, we're looking at at least another five years of the same failures.

They are.

Well maybe this might seem like a far out idea for little old Ireland but how about we set up a task force like they have in other countries who's job it is to deport those who have no right to be here.

And by that I mean scrapping this rubbish system of self deportation and making sure they physically get on the plane out of here.

15000 overstayers came out of the woodwork a few years ago when the ammesty was offered so it goes to prove that if they want to stay and live here under the rader they will do so.

People who are homeless in many instances do not want to be moved to the arsé end of nowhere into some run down hotel.

They want to stay around where their kids are enrolled in school or close to where they work and their support network.

Moving a mother with 4 kids from Dublin to North Clare or vice versa should not happen for those reasons.

Similarly someone with addiction issues won't move to Mayo because they won't be able to readily access their addiction or whatever peer groups they have established.

You are trying to over simplify a very complex problem.

Grand, just leave things as they are so.

Watch the whole system crash and burn.

The so called far right you guys on the left fear so much at he moment will be replaced by the real far right because this outgoing government and the next one do nothing about immigration into this country.

We were a few decades behind the rest of Europe as regards inward migration due to our geographical location and poor standard of living up until about 25 years ago but if the last 3 years are anything to go by we will be one of the worst affected countries in the next few years.

No.

The issue is there are too many arriving and a lot of these so called asylum seekers are economic migrants who just couldn't be arsed coming here to work legally by applying for a work visa.

Georgia and Nigeria are two good examples of this.

I know you don't want to hear this but we are seen as an easy mark which is why we will continue to be on the radar for people who want to live in Europe but don't want to get here legally.

And it doesn't help when parties like the Soc Dems, Labour and the Greens bury their heads in the sand on the whole migration question.

Even SF can see its an issue for voters which is why they are slightly changing their view.

So, too many asylum seekers? How do you stop that? How many would be acceptable.

And, some of them are chancing their arm? Isn't that what the system is for, to decide whether or not they are allowed to stay, that they reach the standard required? Obviously it's not quick enough.

But the issue with people working here, I don't understand, surely people working here is better then people not working? As for the ones that 'came out of the woodwork ' some years ago, they were all looking after themselves as they were undocumented.

15,000 undocumented doesn't mean they came as asylum seekers. They were from all backgrounds, people overstaying visas, coming on 'holiday ' and remaining on, just coming here illegally, walking across the border etc.

Are you suggesting that AGS need to keep tabs on every holiday maker and those coming here on visas and then forcibly removing them? How would that work?

If there are undocumented people living here, they are not dependant on the state. they are obviously looking after themselves.

You didn't address one single point out of the few I made. You're not talking to.anyone when you don't address points.

explanation being, I suppose that you cannot
