Immigration and Ireland - MEGATHREAD *Mod Note Added 14/08/25*

" Corporate overlords at Gript " very interesting claim .

The degree of imbalance in that section of the paper is illustrative of the clear editorial position of the paper in their aspiration as an ersatz Guardian - this bleeds into their news section with their decision in certain stories to omit relevant details (like their omission of the violent criminal past of Bahaalddin Alshwawrah prior to his arrival in Ireland) that are inconvenient to their narrative

It’s completely unsustainable but there’s no point in complaining. The numbers of incoming AS might reduce from 18k pa to 15k pa but we still can’t accommodate these numbers.
Jim O Callaghan might go on about the 128 deported to Georgia but it’s a drop in the ocean compared to the numbers refused asylum and are still here.

Come to Ireland and claim asylum and you’ll be accommodated. Wait 2 years for a decision and if you get turned down you can appeal for another year and then go the judicial appeal route funded by an NGO. Let’s accept it nothing is going to change.

You are awfully fond of asking for evidence then when you are given it...radio silence.

Is 22% considering immigration to be one of the main issues facing Ireland a 'tiny minority'? In 2021 you could say that alright when it was 2%. (Figures in the link go to October 2024 not April 2024 as shown in the thumbnail)

Do you not find it even a bit strange that RTE et al have not tried to delve deeper into where the obscene amounts of money being spent on the 'immigration thing' are going or who is profiting most?

Is it not in the public interest? After all, we are talking about billions of euros here. Are they protecting corporate interests perhaps?

Great to see, but still more to be done and even more to be done in terms of processing applications - over 30,000 being accommodated at the moment, the majority of whom will be refused and yet we have to spend over a billion quid for the year putting them up

It is unfortunate that policymakers and a certain section of the public are so reluctant to accept the obvious.

‘Some people say a lie is just a lie, but I say why, why deny the obvious, child.’

it’s almost like the climate change debate now.

It’s as obvious that the scale of immigration has been too much for the country, but some people still won’t accept its reality. They even argue that the housing crisis isn’t linked to immigration, that the State should have houses waiting in case people want to come to Ireland.

These people are about as convincing as the climate change deniers.

There's a sharp rise in the number of Muslims in Ireland through immigration since 1990. At this rate we can expect a sizable portion of Irish society to be followers of Islam in just a couple of decades.

France is further down the islamification path and there's been a chilling report issued by president Macron's security cabinet.

A treat to national cohesion is not to be taken lightly. Will Ireland ultimately suffer the same fate?

And I only had to back a single day for an example

Here’s another off the top of my head from a couple of months ago so

Asylum seeker is involved in a fracas and fatally stabbed, big news story. Irish times releases numerous articles pertaining to the story and yet in all of those articles failed to mention he was facing rape charges and had been deported from Italy before trying his hand here.

Wonder why IT deigned to leave that rather substantial piece of information about him out, despite all of their coverage?
