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

Did the ref have to hide in the boot of a car?

Did a parent come on to the pitch and punch a teenager?

Cop yourself on

This deal and an even bigger influx of Indians many of whom will have qualifications is only going to add to the housing crisis. Let's be honest there's going to be another generation of young forgotten Irish.

GAA club matches not only see punch ups between players, but Referees getting assaulted by players and supporters.

Because they’re spending money on this nonsense and not on Infrastructure and housing

What are we as citizens and tax payers getting for these surpluses?
Health service on its knees, education system creaking at the seams, crap transport infrastructure, most expensive energy in Europe, worst housing and rental crisis in history of the state.

Have said it umpteen times in this thread, I want to live an a society, not an economy.

Surpluses etc are meaningless when they’re utilised to improve the lot of the tax payer

A total of 66 refugees are being settled in Kildare under a State resettlement scheme, with 50 already housed and the remaining families due to move into social housing by early 2026.

Imagine hardly being off the plane and being put into a free house. Meanwhile there are plenty of people born here, who are contributing, who are still on a waiting list.

Sometimes I think we are living in an insane asylum.

It’s all empty moralistic virtue signalling, totally incoherent where their ideology meets the reality of what they’re advocating for - one would have to guess they think sub Saharan Africa and the Middle East are havens of enlightenment when LGBT and women’s rights are concerned. Never any criticism when such views are held in these places.

I’ve said it before, if it were hardcore white American Christians (who hold many of the same beliefs on LGBT, women’s rights etc as in Islam) migrating to Ireland en masse the exact same no borders advocates would be losing their shıt over it

you think you have some sort of gotcha don’t you. Indians get passionate about their favourite sport and it sometimes overheats and so do Irish. The poster said it points out “cultural differences” but in fact it highlights similarities.

Horrific story from the UK. Had not seen it in the News before. Presume ok to post as court case over and is related to immigration. UK and Irish systems are similar.

Many communities are no longer Irish so it's a bit late for them. You could have areas here native Irish no longer have a say on the outlook.

Worth reading up on changes Denmark are trying to bring it. It's insane though that all these year's EU countries had their hands tied deporting criminals.

Cutting a stick to beat yourself with is a phrase that comes to mind. This article is from the ivory towers of The Guardian before some folk jump to the conclusion that I'm posting some far right propaganda.

The old saying, be careful for what you wish for isn't all too wrong when faced with the above.

Strange one those most open to Muslim immigrants are usually on the liberal side of things while those muslims will mostly be conservative in their views. On the flip side those most opposed to Muslims immigration will be usually be on the conservative side and they align on a lot of social issues like above, I seem to remember you giving out a good bit about pride stuff before if I’m not mistaken so I imagine you agree with them? I’d socially be liberal on a lot of things but think we need to massively cut down on immigration.

I had to drive to my local regional town to do a course last week. Had to be there for 9am. Honestly the traffic was just carnage, at one stage from my vantage point, I could see every single artery road was backed up. Took me 30 mins travel one kilometre.

The sad thing is...I did the same course around 20 years ago and it was like how old Ireland was.

Went to the local shopping centre and it was like Gyspy Town.

Traitors Ireland is in the Dail.
