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

Feel free to tell the Irish parents that.

I suppose anyone complaining that the dept. of social welfare spent 7k on a new engine for a Ukranians Mercedes is also a bad name?

I'm always suspicious of posts that have a clause to the effect of "and if you don't agree with me, you're Himmler or far-right or racist" or whatever.

But in reality it is not enough. Every country needs its fair share of those from overseas who come to new lands & make lives here and contribute to society & I think most people on this forum are happy with those who contribute.

What pisses the "Far Right & Racists" off is those who come here and offer absolutely 0 to this country & milk the system dry & get benefits, You just have to wander down Moore St anyday of the week and see what type of people I am talking about.

I live near, since when is the area a no go? There’s issues with the site for sure, but the local concerned group going on about how it will be full of RaPiNg aNd PillaGiNg MuSliM mIliTaREy mEn meant you could never take them seriously and were a joke from day 1. (I see it’s actually Ukrainians in there who’d have thought?)

Also, why do so many go on about destroying fairy forts? Are they worried Santa and the tooth fairy might have been affected when they cleared out the ditches?

I noticed there's a lot of misquoting in this thread. Sometimes it could be a genuine mistake but a lot of the time people let their feelings get in the way of sound judgment.

Take a deep breath, read the post and you'll all soon realise there's a massive immigration scandal taking place that'll be a massive cost to the Irish people going forward. It'll be felt for generations to come. The current generation coming up, when they're educated and realise what's happened will say NEVER AGAIN!

There's an energy response to house foreigners but not Irish or the hidden homeless in Ireland.

We're second class for now, potentially 3rd class in future.

In Ireland, we don't or can't control:

(1) the number of Irish returning is not directly controllable, although we can encourage them

(2) the flow in and out of EU migrants is not directly controllable, although we should remove EU migrants who can't take care of themselves

(3) the number of UKR refugees with BOTP arriving

(4) the number of AS arriving, although we can influence it

We directly control:

(1) the number of programme refugees accepted

(2) the number of UKR refugees with BOTP who can stay here after BOTP ends (in my opinion this should be zero, or maybe let 10k stay on two conditions: they must work in construction and they can never receive any social assistance)

(3) the number of failed AS that we let stay
