Come back Garron Noone! **Mod Warning in Post #654**

The plethora of hotels that are used to house immigrants, while homeless irish people have never been afforded such relative luxury is proof alone

There are more than a "few" foreign people. There is a large amount.

It is naive to expect no criminality, but that criminality should result in expulsion from the country.

A zero tolerance policy would mean that any person who has travelled to this island and doesn't abide by the laws should be removed and put back to where they came.

And no Noone didn't say all of what I said, but his point stands that ireland has a problem with illegal immigration and that any voice to the contrary is picked up on by idiots who rush to label those voices as bigots, racists or any other disgusting label.

A lot of alarmist hyperbole in your posts. It's clear you are not coming at this from a balanced viewpoint.

I haven't seen a single person disagreeing with the fact that illegal immigration is bad nor have I seen anyone disagree that exploitation of the welfare service is a good thing either.

But you don't seem to want to address the other assertions made in Garron's post. Insinuating that immigrants are to blame for reduced quality-of-life of the average Irish person (complete nonsense), immigrants are to blame for cities and towns being less safe (utter codswallop) and a non-existent increase in crime.

And here lies the issue: racists and bigots will lead with something reasonable, something that people will generally be on the side of, like not wanting illegal immigrants to take advantage of our weak welfare system, but will tack onto that a load of bluster, hate and absolute rubbish. And seemingly well-meaning and reasonable people will take the reasonable part of the argument to heart but carry with it the poisonous elements.

And while they're being terrorised by drug-dealing scumbags in their estates, while the country is being polluted by Irish-based drugs cartels and criminal gangs, while an inept Government run our health service into the ground and sell off giant swathes of housing to outside funds whose only goal is to rent that property back to an already on-it's-knees populace for 3x what it is costing them per month in order to then buy more property and lock Irish people out of the market……………… who do we blame?

Immigrants!

My point proven.

I'm absolutely pro immigration once they have done so correctly and are a positive to the country. I am absolutely anti-immigration when done illegally or they are a drain to society or gaming the system.

What a crazy and hateful attitude I have! 😆

Many are deported? How many? If not "all" then it's not acceptable.

And no, I haven't seen vast amounts of hotels to be closed just to be appropriated to house Irish homeless people. I am aware that Irish people have been housed in hotels though, just not on that scale

What scale? Ay idea how many Irish families have to live in hotels?

You didn't say how many is a large amount of foreign people living here, or what the issue is with foreign people living here?

The plethora of hotels that are used to house immigrants, while homeless irish people have never been afforded such relative luxury is proof alone

The only thing that proves is you made it up and then decided to publish it on here.

It's the same pattern the whole time.

But but but we are not allowed talk about things.

It's tiresome.

He was on the late late a few months ago

He's a comedian. Name one killed after online threats.

Thought he was an "influencer"?

Lol his views are defo not mainstream. Im sorry a small town Ballina man is not the voice of reason, please stop trying to pretend just because he currently holds your views that they are mainstream

Probably haven't seen them myself, because only was watching viral funny videos that other people shared on socials.

Just found one that is labeled 'Paid Partnership'!

Garron to make his long awaited return tomorrow, lining out at full back for Mayo. He will be tasked with the impossible job of man marking David Clifford. Mayo fans hoping the considerable size advantage will work in their favour and Clifford will be too frightened to perform on the big stage. Mayo for the Sam thus year.

His views are not mainstream or the far-right, anti-immigration morons wouldn’t have come nowhere in the recent general election.

But being from Ballina has nothing to do with that. That same small town produced the current Irish rugby captain and the first female president of this nation. Amongst others of note.

Out of curiosity, do you feel the same way about Irish people who don't work or contribute to society?

But people who are career welfare spongers are absolutely a liability.

Why?

I realised earlier this week that my most controversial opinion is that society should mature to accept those that don't want to be part of society for a while. It would be so more peaceful and accepting if it allowed people to not take breaks, however long, while society is still there, supporting them (and PAYING them!).

There's more than enough money in the world, it's just being hoarded by a few.

There's more than enough people that want to work & get their own personal value from their labour.

"Career welfare spongers" as you so prosaically put it, generally contribute quite a lot to society, you just may not recognise it as such. Some care for children or disabled people. Some volunteer in their community. Some volunteer in homework clubs. All their money goes back into the local economy, which is more than you can say for the wealthier that invest their money or spend it abroad. I'm not so naive to see that some (a minority amount) take advantage. And to that I say, so what? They may come round, they may find their way to contribute to society, they may not. I can guarantee one thing though, regardless of what they do, society will not collapse, nor prosper because of the actions of a few.

UBI for all!
