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

Happy to hear your solutions?

I seen yesterday some pharma industry players here now looking at moving manufacturing to the US. Good night Irene if a decent percentage do.

We issued 150k pps numbers last year to immigrants and the multinationals added 1000 jobs last year in Ireland. If anymore than 50% of those 150k can pay their rent here I'll eat my hat!

When the corporation tax dries up will our 20 somethings stick around after their degrees to compete against the government for housing, decline in Dublin , sit on the m50 ? Doubtful

Yes I really hope this wonderful multicultural Ireland you write about is successful just like Sweden which we all aspire to. Now if we can spend all that apple money to make this happen it will worth it.

We have the worst possible person talking about immigration in the white house, and while I loath that man, he had one or two points. Now we have a respectable fella questioning immigration policy and there’s a pile on.

Dosent make sense does it. Untill ya realise it's all just automation and someone like mcGregor already has the tools and means to counter it, in real time.

The little guy does not and these ghouls know it. To hell with the consequences it is going to have on the individual that they target.

Its an Arms race and the eternal September, on steroids.

One of the things he said definitely resonates.

Communities all over Ireland are concerned, and their concerns are continuously not being heard so they are turning towards extreme beliefs. He goes on to talk about how it's been mishandled.

I do find that politicians are quick enough to demand information from opposition parties when it suits them but actually informing local residents of what goes on in their area and working with communities is largely a second thought

If all is fine, why delete his social media, he is a content creator

It's not a who or one individual that gets someone 'cancelled'. It's a consequence of saying something online that the baying mob disagree with. There's no one reason it will happen, but the pattern is always the same. Various social media accounts will attack the poster, report the post, dox and abuse them. It will take various forms but the result is always the same. A social media account will be removed, either through mass reporting or because the account holder has had enough and can't deal with fallout.

It was a sad day for the country yesterday to see how the government responded to a reasonable question posed by Ken O'Flynn about immigration. To see the Tainiste of the country behave as he did and his party back benchers shouting "shame" across the floor of the Dáil was disgusting and all because government don't want to answer questions around their disastrous handling of immigration. We are seeing this alot by this government anytime Michael Martin is asked a question he goes off on a rant rather than answer question or makes a snarky comment under his breath so as to bring disorder to the house so the question is forgotten.

Then we have the pile on on Garron Noone, who comes across as a decent chap, because he commented on immigration. His comments I felt were even controversial and he was demonised for this.

All this name calling and labelling behaviour we are seeing from Government and those that support the current immigration system is just making people angry and at some stage it may come out. There just needs to be an open and honest debate about this.

false stories of immigrants throwing passports away

Eh, this has been confirmed as true.

It seems you are more than happy to just put your head in the sand and pretend that there is no issue what so ever with the current rate of migration into the country, when clearly most people do.

Most people dont have an issue with migration, but most people have an issue with the level and rate of migration.

There is a difference. You want to focus on the former exclusively as its a safe space for you to point at people and yell, "You are a racist"

This is the outcome of allowing far left activists to govern what is considered acceptable discourse in this country.

The only solution to this is for someone to actually initiate litigation against these loons when they label someone as far right.

Something needs to soften the cough of the far left in Ireland, be it on the issues discussed on this thread or in other spheres, these people are completely unaccountable and feel empowered to harass abuse and in some situations assault people they find morally objectionable.

That isn't a sign of a healthy society and it's high time we stopped accepting it.

Yep, it's completely shocking. I must say I'm so completely angry and ashamed of Harris and Martin.

Obviously oblivious to it all and sending towns and services round the country down the toilet. I used to be a charitable person, but not anymore. The government is taking my income tax and pissing it way. Not just wasting it but absolutely facilitating a breakdown of society, fairness and culture here. Yeah culture, that bandwagon they jump on when it suits them. Well, that culture will be gone.

The tik tok shamrock taoiseachs.

Not sure if everyone has seen the video but here it is. He just said our loud what a lot of ordinary folk think in this country.

But this happens to literally everyone in the public eye. Politicians are constantly trolled and sent death threats — and any ordinary person voicing opinions that lean in favour of things like migration, trans rights etc — will often be trolled online and subject to hate campaigns. Business people who have allowed premises to be used for housing refugees have been subject to targeted hate campaigns too.

The problem for personalities whose careers are built on media or social media is that people often seem to confuse negative reaction to unpopular or controversial opinions as "cancellation" — rather than it being that people simply just don't agree with you or prefer you to stick with the funny lighthearted stuff.

There has always been a certain level of neutrality involved in having a public media persona, and a level of risk in publicly mixing ones private opinions with that public persona. What's pretty funny though sometimes is that many of these allegedly cancelled people still have opinions that are very easy to access online, including on YouTube and social media.

Just in case anyone wondering what the video created the hullabaloo is!. This poster features exactly what Garron Noone said:-

Ken O' Flynn TD Pledges Support for Garron Noone “political discourse in Ireland in mired in a suffocating level of manufactured state supported consensus:”

Independent Ireland TD for Cork North-Central Ken O’Flynn has said the decision by Tiktok phenomenon and Ballina native Garron Noone to deactivate all of his social media accounts following an online backlash to his comments about immigration has merely confirmed that “political discourse in Ireland in mired in a suffocating level of manufactured state supported consensus:”

Independent Ireland coming out in support?

Show's I'm not as active on 'Xitter' (Garron Noone Trending in Ireland). Found out about it from @JP Liz V1 post on the LLS thread!
