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

This is actually outrageous if true which I assume it is.

It reads like they don't want to find problems because it will be too much hassle to have to do anything about them.

It's like being on the way to work and remembering you didn't lock the door, but it's too much effort to go back to lock it.

We are told to always take precautions in life and this is ridiculous that we don't do it in this situation.

So now the prediction has been moved out another 5 years.
If immigration was a significant issue, the results should have been different.

Was there not rioting in Dublin last year and buildings being burnt out?

The EU is returning right wing governments as the locals don't want to pay for freeloaders no more and other issues they bring, jihadism, ghettos, crime gangs etc.

Ireland is still getting away with robbing other countries corporation taxes and this is what pays for the refugees and shields paddy taxpayer for having to pony up. It's fairly debatable whether this'll continue for much longer, Mr trump is glancing enviously!

We are a decade or two behind the other countries who have gone to the right.

We are a small country and in a housing crisis so I could see it happening in 5 years.

We simply don't have the ability to accommodate a projected 20k people a year over the next 5 years without it being a problem visibly.

Smaller towns and cities will see tents popping up sooner or later.

Unless they try force Ukrainian's who are legitimate to go home.

The only credible opposition to the government spent the last year talking about Palestine instead of talking about Ireland.

They are actually more pro immigration then the current lot.

Unfortunately a lot of damage can be done in 5 years.

Mouthy people with all sorts of great ideas didn't turn up and vote

Or they're saying one thing in public/on social media and then doing the opposite in the privacy of the polling station.

Just because the likes of Gavin Pepper or Malachy Steenson didn't get elected, doesn't mean the immigration problem has gone away. It's only going to get worse and will be affecting much more people by the 2029 election.

Also, can't remember which one it was, but one of the election threads had a large amount of posts from people who just felt that there was no point on voting as nothing will never change.

Its such a self fulfilling prophecy, yet they don't seem to get it. No vote is a waste, every vote matters, even if your chosen candidate didn't make it.

It has been said many times in here before the election that things would not change.

The main opposition have shown themselves to be more pro immigration then the current lot.

A lot of the independents are unknown and they can't really do anything.

The only party that really talked about getting tough on immigration wanted to strip away womens rights.

Thankfully we have progressed as a country and voting in people who want to take back womens rights didn't happen.

The big two are the best of a very bad lot, which is the sad state of Irish politics.

I was hoping they would get a scare and they might make some changes, but it looks like we will here in 5 years but things will be far far worse.

I had a Google about Sweden after the references this morning and it is downright scary what we are in for on our current plan.

A place renowned for being peaceful is now full of gangs shooting and bombing the shite out of each other while innocents are suffering.

It seems to be mostly in poorer areas like here that is dumping grounds for them, at least our lot are smart enough to keep them away from their posh neighborhoods.

How anyone can look at Sweden and think what we are doing is a good thing is mind boggling.

The people were given an opportunity and voted for more of the same ultimately. There is no organised "right wing" in Ireland with credible candidates and none of them got a look in even in the most affected communities. It will keep them quieter for a while.

Sure, not only could your man Pepper not identify the boundaries of his own constituency, he can't even string a coherent sentence together in a city council meeting. Always going to struggle with those deficits no matter your policies.

That's the calibre of them across the board.

Hence a comparatively low turnout, imo. People don't feel they are being represented by the mainstream parties but at the same time can't bring themselves to vote for nutters. So they stay at home.

I see the "Weddings by Franc" guy is now involved in providing refugee accommodation.

I am not shocked that you are in shock. You views are not reflective of the vast majority of the population as we saw this weekend.

Ask the eleven Green TDs that lost their seats😂

Well done Roderic, he emphatically proved me wrong. He took the Greens from twelve seats to one, from 155k first preference votes to 66k and scraped the last seat in Dublin West. He's the leader they always needed. A roaring success in government and the election result was a huge endorsement of his party's contribution over the last four years.

Now that he's not focused on filling hotels, hostels and guesthouses with AS and IPAs and taking billions out of the tourist economy, maybe he'll do some work on the environment in his local community. Like stopping the three or four yearly fish kills that happen on the river that runs 50 yards behind his house. Fingers crossed.

The simplistic view of the election result will be "the people have spoken and the far right got their answer,Hmmm,in my view its much more nuanced,lots of voters who deem immigration is being mismanaged probably voted for one of the big 3 parties as although they may be unhappy with immigration they are not so unhappy to make it a single issue election.Secondly and more importantly there was no vote option nationwide that would be certain to effect change,so why bother,Gavin Pepper ,Derek Blighe and few other of their ilk were no match for the seasoned election machine of the big 3.A more realistic referendum on folks attitude to immigration would have been if one of the big 3 parties had broken ranks on the cosy consensus and stood on a more anti immigration platform we could then say the debate was put to bed for a generation.

Election was rigged apparently.

A lot of damage can be done in 5 years

Sounds threatening.

I wonder will we see the same violence and criminality from the anti-immigration extremists for the next 5 years?

Hopefully it won't be allowed get to that.
