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

No, but the government think a garden shed is suitable for young irish people.

It shouldn't be necessary at all.

Well obviously they are — the end of the global Covid shutdown coinciding with the Ukraine war has caused an explosion of asylum seekers across Europe since early 2022. This kind of thing has almost always led to opposition — where there is an influx of asylum seekers or refugees, there will be an influx of opposition to it. Where there are no refugees and no asylum seekers, there will be no opposition to refugees or asylum seekers.

That is the natural course of things. The influx of asylum seekers to Ireland has and will continue to force us (and other nations experiencing the same thing) to rethink and reshape our system for handling this issue in a way that balances humanitarian concerns with our own self-interest. But that's not enough for a lot of people of course — who resolutely appear to believe that this topic can only ever be approached with alarmism.

We don't need a recession, but we do need a reset. The government and the civil service are throwing our money around like confetti. Always quick to hike taxes, but never wanting to reign in their spending.

This is evident in the asylum industry, where money in no option and waste is substantially. Everyone sees it, but we can't report here as its deemed anecdotal. Until jojournalists in the msm start reporting it, we must really on gript or x accounts like Nick Delehanty to keep exposing it. Someday, hopefully, a majority wake up to it and kick back.

I'm not quite sure what you're getting at here — are you saying these things are because of immigration or are you just expressing that these things are bad?

Well, as I tend to find on here, there are a lot of people on Boards depriving this country of their talent who could have handled the largest displacement of people in Europe since the Second World War — also coinciding with the ending of global Covid shutdowns and the release of pent up demand for migration that followed it — far better than the "idiot politicians". Unfortunately, they have yet to step forward and show us how it's done.

In any event, I'm not sure that in the years to come, when our sons and daughters are marrying the sons of daughters of Ukrainians who came here and they themselves are having children born here, there will be anyone left who harbours much anger towards Ireland trying (and yes, overexerting itself) to help a fellow European people who were scattered by an imperialist dictator and his thuggish military apparatus. We might even take pride in it — provided of course the apocalypse of Ukrainian refugees has not caused our island to sink beneath the waves.

Beyond that, there doesn't really seem to be anybody who doesn't actually believe that our experiences since 2022 should be a wake up call [to the sheer utter horror of the fact] that we are now seen as a wealthy, safe, prosperous place to live and — yes — this demands that we rethink and tighten our migration and asylum processes. But people still seem to feel the need to tell everyone what everyone pretty much already knows.

Would make you worried as a homosexual in Ireland seeing mass uncontrolled migration from said African countries. Imo there shouldn't be mass immigration into Ireland from countries who are very extreme on the religious spectrum whether that be Islam or Christianity.

Those organised drugs gangs existed in the 1980's, 1990's and 2000's though. The General, The Viper, The Felloni's, The Monk/Hutches, The Westies et al. And the Provo's too.

The Kinahans are just the most recent iteration of that trend.

I agree with you on the rest, though.

There has always been an "edge" to Dublin, even when I was a teenager going in there in the 1990's. Muggings with syringes, muggings with knives etc.
