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

Just boring when it's constantly repeated and the outcome does nothing to stop the rising numbers coming .I think by now every poster knows your views.Curious what have you done to help asylum seekers in a personal capacity.

As it's been reported that 90 percent of asylum seekers come from N I border control on arrivals there needs to be implemented. The Good Friday may require an amendment.

Just 6 percent of 2400 deportation orders confirmed this year .

My take from this it was mentioned employers should not be allowed to dictate the level of immigration.A new department of home affairs and not the Dept of Children to deal with immigration.

You can't have countries like France having to take 100% of asylum seekers because they landed there first. It's quite ridiculous to think that is a sustainable model.

I know it was linked over the weekend, but I hear on the radio news that Waterways Ireland was left with a bill of almost €800K for the fencing and other issues with the encampments along the canal.

All this at the expense to the taxpayer, meanwhile prominent activists and ngo's facilitate the men repeatedly setting up new tents, also at the expense of the taxpayer. The likes if the refugee council and others really need ttighter scrutiny and oversight.

Blue sky now?

Known as the First Country-of-Entry Criteria. Just imagine if it was enforced over the past decade. Do you remember when leo said it was a far myth….

It's a multi layered problem imo. You're right, I'm sure some taxpayers are indifferent to government spend, equally I'd say many are unaware of the waste and fact ngo's and government agencies are pitted against eachother.

But also, the lack of proper investigative journalism by the Irish media has helped keep issues out of the media.

To busy getting sucked into controversies like the bike shed spend than other multi euro billion waste.

If it's anyway half decent look up the Netherlands immigration study. Eye opening. As a poster said above the only people who'll benefit from a large influx of net negative immigrants are the rich.

For any liberal minded person that supports the current refugee situation, and supports no capped legal immigration; walk around our cities and ask yourself: is this the BEST version of Ireland you've lived in?
We have so much diversity today, it must feel like the country we live in is getting better and better everyday, right?

To me, it feels like a total kip. In fact today is the WORST version of Ireland I've lived in, and I lived through the 80's.
I'll take the 2008 recession and the austerity over what we have going on today.
