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

In the medium to long term tourism will die a death here, a sacrifice on the altar of ipas.

While there's enough anointed ones in this industry absolutely milking it, backed by a servile media and lunatic fringe left screaming at anyone declaring the emperor nude, the slide will continue unchecked.

I worked in hospitality myself years ago, I would love to see you working in one of these IPAS centres where it’s all men from the ME and Africa that managed to get 10k to smuggle themselves across boarders. I can’t imagine dealing with people with completely different values to yours would change your mind.

My immigration stance (how you gathered that from a post where I never mentioned immigration), the Treyvaud families immigration status or their contribution to the economy have no bearing on the fact that I think Paul Treyvaud is a spanner. I thought it before he was anti immigration, before he was anti Vax and I'll think it in a year when he's got the next bit between his teeth when he realises his latest stance isn't helping him shift 30 euro fish cakes.

Well that's news to me I'm a frequent visitor Killarney and it always looks full of Irish and Foreign tourists . The hotel prices don't reflect a desperate need for more Tourists . The Hoteliers and Publicans are always giving the poor mouth.

We are in this situation because Fianna fails and fine Gaels market based economics has failed to build enough homes especially in the social and affordable area.

Yet here you are letting them off the hook by blaming Marxists.

One of the best councilors in Tipperary Cllr Liam Browne Statement on the situation:

𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐫𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐃𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐫𝐮𝐦 𝐇𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞, 𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧
It's taken me a couple of days to respond to this, because of other issues that arose, but I'd like to wholeheartedly put my name behind the condemnation of the Department of Justice and Department of Integration, on their decisions firstly to sign a contract with an unknown entity, to pay them millions of euros of taxpayers money, and secondly to begin to move IPAs into Dundrum, while the property is operating under a warning letter from Tipperary County Council, regarding inadequate infrastructure and numerous breaches of planning law
In the few meetings we have had with the Department, we were clearly told that no properties would be considered unless they were fully compliant with planning legislation.
Signing a contract, and moving people to Dundrum, shows that to be a lie. A clear lie.
It also shows that the Department give no consideration to local democracy, the opinions of local representatives or local people
This is about money. It is about greed. It is about not caring for local communities. Not caring for heritage.
Not caring for the basic expectation of Irish people, that their Government treat them with fairness.
We were told as much by the Department in a meeting in Nenagh. They don't trust us.
Today is the one year anniversary of the protest at the gates of Dundrum House. I want to say fair play to those who spent one day or 365 days, standing at the gates, asking for that fairness.
There was trouble at those gates once in 365 days. And that was brought to Dundrum by the State. They should be ashamed of themselves for that.
The people of Dundrum showed huge dignity throughout the year. And they will continue to do so, I am 100% confident of that.
They, we and I, feel left down.
Money truly is the root of all evil.
Our buildings will be left to fall down. Our communities will be set against each other in an attempt to divide us. Our leaders will treat us with contempt.
But in the end, we will be proved right.
What they have done, was wrong. Is wrong. And will always be wrong.
The future will be the judge of that.
Regards
Cllr Liam Browne
Proudly representing the people of Dundrum and the surrounding areas.
