Immigration and Ireland - MEGATHREAD *Mod Note Added 02/09/25*

No its not misinformation, it HAPPENED, I'm saying it should never have been that way and it's typical of our government and their lazy attitude towards tax payers money to enable such nonsense. If Ukraine is not safe to live In, it's not safe to holiday in.

It's the same with the hotel owners who were scamming the stateon the back of this. They should have been prosecuted for fraud but where allowed pay the money back instead because not one was charged.

Of course it will be over. Wars end. I cant say when. You think its acceptable for people to be given free accomodation like this, when most of their country is safe? Im curious to know what will happen this modular estate when the war is over. Dismantled probably. Or they will get to take them back to Ukraine with them! Free of charge.

Exactly. I don’t understand why it’s being dismissed because it happened in 2023 when that’s only just over a year ago really. They should be held accountable for actions

Once again Carol Nolan leading the way. This woman should be in government leading the line.

It's not just Ireland that needs this to be on a war footing but the whole of Europe need to wake up call. Europe needs to wake up and admit they cannot continue on like this, this is why far right parties across Europe are growing stronger and stronger because citizens want the madness to stop.

I'm sick and tired of my tax going to the immigration industry, the 1 billion spent to accommodate refugees and migrants is insane and add to the fact this figure doesn't include all the nice benefits and the NGO costs.

Ireland has a perception of being a soft touch, we basically put the red carpet out

"processing is working" 😂

Processing = people in the system for years, living in State-funded accommodation while working full time, being rejected and then appealing until they're granted "permission to remain" (probably cos they have now had a kid here) which amounts to a slap in the face to the overwhelming majority of Irish people voted to remove the anchor baby law. And then getting citizenship 3 years from the date of the original application. And after all that still not leaving State-funded "emergency" accommodation.

Nothing about the IP system is working.

You’re saying we shouldn’t talk about previous mistakes due to reelection? That argument makes no sense. Reelection is more of an argument to keep discussing and reminding people of the many mistakes made by the same people in charge.

i’m sick and tired of NGO CEO lecturing on the airwaves to Irish taxpayers. Even when challenged by some radio hosts they still continue with their virtue signaling bulshit. I would suspend funding to these for a period of time… that’s the first place i’d be looking to save money.

I was wondering if your application is rejected are you allowed to continue work here? Also, if you are convicted of a crime does this affect your application in anyway?

How long does the rejection process/appeal last?

Years? I saw a good line online saying our asylum process is like a J1 visa program with free accommodation which is spot on.

We are wide open to be abused by leeches,Irish/non Irish

He should have never got past the airport if the vetting system was working.

You hear of local protests and people shouting "unvetted" etc. Then you have politicians/gardai calling nonsense saying everyone is vetted coming jere. But then when the public hear of people on sex offenders list living in IPAS centres you have to ask who is actually putting out propaganda? So it looks like we are getting and allowing sex offenders,criminals come here to claim asylum.

The government and the far right seems to be as bad with their lies.
