Immigration and Ireland - MEGATHREAD *Mod Note Added 02/09/25*

Dont go live there then.

Its a rather simple solution.

Research the nation you wish to integrate into and enter legally, not looking up welfare benefits

Here is a man:

• whose four grandparents moved to Japan in the 1950s / 60s
• both parents grew up in Japan
• the man himself went to school in Japan

He says that he grew up in Japan, but that he is not Japanese, as he is not from a Japanese family.

He would never call himself Japanese.

Note that he speaks fluent Japanese.

Similarly, non-Irish who move to Ireland, live here for years, acquire citizenship, are not Irish, and most of them would agree with this.

The elephant in the room is “leave to remain”. Should be completely revoked. You either qualify or you don’t.

That is what the ruckus at the Clonskeagh Mosque was about I think: it was the more hardline stricter muslims who were unhappy with the way it was being run by the more moderate faction so they forced them out and took over.

If you read between the lines in this report you can see it was basically a coup.

The media seems to be working overtime trying to find foreigners who want to tell us that Ireland and its people are terrible.

Well its an easy fix, if they dont like us and our country they can go back home.

Statistically irish people will be a minority at some stage in this century given the cumulative immigration figures of the past 20 + years and projections forward. Our rate of immigration and our rate of demographic change is one of the largest in Europe for the past generation, its accelerated exponentially since 2020. Would you consider that an issue when it happens?

Immigration is not necessarily bad it hasn't been bad for ireland but mass immigration to a country with a housing and infrastructure crisis and public expenditure spiralling out of control is bad. It leads to all sorts of problems with a lack of services lack of integration and social cohesion between natives and newcomers. The quietest people in this country are the 25 (62% living at home) to 35 year olds many of whom are living at home with their parents with their lives on hold because they can't afford to buy a house build a house or rent a house. https://www.rte.ie/news/business/2025/0127/1493144-cso-growing-up-survey/#:~:text=62%25%20of%2025%2Dyear%2D,with%20parents%20due%20to%20finances There is no alternative government to FF FG for the majoirty of irish voters.

In 2023 a little over 30,000 homes were built last year 2024 a little over 31,000 houses were built, in 2025 less than 30,000 are now predicted to be built. Immigration to ireland up to April 2024 was 80,000 up to April 2023 it was 78,000 we don't yet have figures for April 2025 but it has been suggested they are similar to 2024. Thats almost one quarter of a million people in 3 years. When we built around 90,000 houses and have a backlog of between 200,000 to 300,000 houses with zero immigration. We have one of the most severe housing shortages of any developed country we have a deficit of tradesmen a lack of private finding and the most

Then there is asylum claims and the vast swathes of money being spent on IPAS accomadation and associated costs, the majoirty of whom the head of GNIB says are economic migrants. The minister for justice says 80% of whom fail in their application at first instance. The absolutely ludicrous situation where IPAS centers are foisted on communities. The impact that doing this has had on social cohesion. Since 2022 cumulatively over 50,000 applications were made for asylum without taking family reunification into account.

People granted asylum are leaving IPAS accomadation to enter homeless accomadation because there are no houses for them. 33,000 are living in IPAS accomadation many of whom have been granted asylum but have no where else to go, others are asked to leave only to enter emergency homeless accomadation. One of the most profitable industries in ireland now is the IPAS accomadation business and multi billion industry that encourages human trafficking.

My question is simple it is where are the 80,000 immigrants annually entering the country and the 50,000 ipas and homeless people living in emergency accomadation going to live when they leave it if we are building 30,000 houses annually?

How many generations are posters expecting before somebody can call themselves Irish? Posters on here are so incredibly inconsistent, they'll complain about failure to integrate but if the person's appearance doesn't match their expected vision of an Irish, they'll reject them as Irish. It's a bit sad that it irks them so much.

Most Irish people have never met a member of the far-right I think you mean, as they are such a tiny group.

That might differ if your bar for what constitutes “far right” is anything right of Paul Murphy

Yeah, centre conservative is considered far right nowadays. It's madness, it's bizarre. It's like arguing with a 3 year old toddler.

Claiming asylum is completely legal under international and UK law even if someone arrives on a small boat. And loads of those lads who came that way actually ended up getting refugee status because they actually have legit claims.

And please don’t use the word "lefty" in your reply as it's super cringe.

This is why they keep their culture, why we have Indian or African days because they do not feel Irish, they still feel from their roots. The problem is over here liberals want our culture to change and become more diverse yet those who celebrate their foregin culture are never asked to diverse.
