Immigration and Ireland - MEGATHREAD *Read OP for mod warnings before posting*

I don't care how bad things get in Ireland (no reason to believe any kind of bad economic news in the future anyway) they aren't going back to Somalia.

Ever.

You’re right. There is an expectation that they will be looked after indefinitely (the recent article where a Ukrainian complained about the government ‘losing interest’ is one example) so they aren’t going anywhere. And why would they? They know they’ll be looked after before Irish people just like always

Does Ireland really not track crime stats the way Denmark does? Very telling graphic here. One thing I noticed is Indians are very low on the list and they're one of our top arrivals mainly through legal means to work or study. Good news surely? Generally a pro democratic People, who don't support religious caliphates. Ie . Easier to integrate.

I would love to see a similar graphic for Ireland. Considering we're not as far down the asylum/refugee path as them we really should start recording this data if we don't already.

Crazy even the Aontu councillor voted against it. Dangerous times we live in when they control the narrative like this.

The governments propaganda mouth piece speaks lol

Six men found in container refused permission to enter country

Six men who were among a group of people discovered in a container at Rosslare Europort have been refused permission to enter the country.

It is understood that the men and teenagers were found in the container at the port yesterday, where they were for four days, having arrived on a ship from Dunkirk in France.

It is believed the nine people were aged between 16 and 23 and are all originally from east Africa.

It is understood they may have thought that they were waiting to be transported onwards while in Rosslare before raising the alarm.

Gardaí began investigating a suspected case of people smuggling following the discovery and have said that six men were "refused leave to land in accordance with immigration legislation".

One man has claimed international protection and two others, believed to be minors, are being cared for by Tusla

It's nice to read a good news story like this for once, we seldom see it in Ireland.

I like the way the 1 individual claims IP/Asylum when already coming from a safe country (France and god knows how many other countries before) and from the reports they were hoping to get to the UK

It really makes a mockery out of IP/AS process when there's legitimate people who require help and this one individual gets caught and instead of getting kicked out of the country plays the IP card.

They have been refused? They are going back to east Africa?

One claimed international protection?

It seems the NGOs haven't been on this and passed information to the rest of them that all they need do is request asylum.

If Germany are getting serious about stopping irregular entry are they going to act to secure the EU's borders or just Germany?

Can you even secure German borders of you don't secure EU ones?

The immigration lawyers felt a disturbance in the force lol

No it wouldn't.

The conspiracy marches on driven by the algorithms to immigration true believer.

For the term of the last government this forum and threads like this one were filled with the silent majority conspiracy.

Now we have had a free fair democratic election and the winds of change have not blown in fact they were not even so much as a breeze politically and so now that chatter has reverted to conspiracy and this time its the entire system is controlled.

 Dangerous times we live in when they control the narrative like this.

Do a check on Irish citizens in UK prisons compared to uk citizens in uk prisons as percentage of the total population.

You will discover that Irish people are over represented in Uk prisons' compared to their percentage of the UK total population.

I don't think she realised the point she actually made although Matt did sound a bit unsure of himself for the next minute or two 

So what is the point being made?

This is a pretty confusing post, I am struggling to see what point you are trying to make.

The CSO publish figures on nationality.

• 84.5% of our population are Irish citizens.
• 15.5% of our population are citizens of other countries.

Similarly the prison service publish stats on nationality.

https://www.irishprisons.ie/wp-content/uploads/documents_pdf/DECEMBER-2024.pdf

As from last month, 5001 people in custody, 847 or 16.9% were Non Irish. Over 63% of these are either British or EU Citizens.

You then need to adjust it for demographics, with the majority of the prison population being younger as are Migrants who come here.

Also non nationals are less likely to get bail.

Bunch of people protesting outside a 4* hotel housing ipas residents while 100,000's of our own go without heating water and phone service.

About time we started taking care of our own and not every tom dick and Harry crossing multiple safe countries to our shores.

Jesus. Both hamstrings gone with that stretch.

Should have refused to let the 9 of them in.

It will only encourage more to try this when they see that 3 of them aren't being sent back.
