    That wanker will be a drain on our resources until the day he dies with the added potential to absolutely destroy innocent people's lives by perpetrating a sexual assault. Makes the decisions of the judge perplexing and maddening.

    Judges are not impenetrable. Just as susceptible to ideology and group think. Probably even moreso given the social circles they would move in. They never have to live with, experience first hand (or even second hand) the consequences of the crime they adjudicate on.

    DoJ planning legislation that would make IPAS centres immune from planning considerations

    Profoundly undemocratic, it would be a very distasteful step towards a more authoritarian approach to governance



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,380 ✭✭✭CollyFlower


    Communities are never given advance notice when an IPA is planned for their area, they  only find out after contracts have been signed.
    It’s sickening that state land can be used to fastrack these developments.this land should be prioritised for housing Irish people who are struggling to find a place to live.

    Be a very different story from simple Simon Harris if one of these 7 centres was to be built on the outskirts of greystones

    Just on these proposed 7 asylum centres. Obviously they should have to go through due process like every other development, but I would be in favour of larger hubs if their operating model changed to one with more emphasis on dentention and holding centres while asylum applications were being assessed. The idea that people we know nothing about can wander our streets for months if not years while they go through the application process is ludicrous. They should also be used as dentention centre if the application fails and while they wait to be deported, either through self deportation or forced.

    That won't happen though. Its more likely to be done to reduce dependence on hotels.

    Jim O'Callaghan a FF member being minister is the only reason that clown harris is saying anything, if the position was still FG held he wouldn't and you'd have FF saying something instead.

    It's just faux outrage to try make FG stand apart from FF, when they'd have done the same thing and had done the same thing back when McEntee had the job. FF do the same too, just playing control opposition to each other.

    @batman_oh You'd better remove that before it's seen. You can't discuss cases before the courts. Read the first post in this thread.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,488 ✭✭✭mrslancaster


    Where are the proposed centres being built? The IT only mentions Lissywollen in Athlone, Thornton Hall and Crooksling in Dublin.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,191 ✭✭✭InAtFullBack


    Unknown locations for the other four, they are either not identified yet or are being kept very secret for now.

    One can only speculate, unless there is a leak from the DOJ.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,170 ✭✭✭Paddy_Mag


    Wont be anywhere near greystones, Helen McEntee constituency or Micheal Martins for good measure



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 780 ✭✭✭iffandonlyif


    Without mentioning a specific case, it is a surreal experience to have your critique of government policy confirmed by mounting criminal cases involving migrants. That I, sitting in my bedroom, was able to anticipate years in advance what effectively the entirety of the Irish media and political class did not.

    And still they plow on in denial. We are genuinely in ‘emperor has no clothes’ territory. Is this what it felt like to be a dissenter in the Soviet Union? (You might say that’s a crass comparison given that I am able to ask the question without fear of consequence. But I am only on this forum because my comments were repeatedly deleted on Reddit).

    It's Ideological Subversion, manifest. The facts are consistently presented to people across Europe, Politicians and Pro-Migrant groups in particular, yet they refuse to believe them or any hard evidence. They look to bury it, gaslight, change the subject and finally criminalise any comment on what we see with our own eyes.

    "As I mentioned before, exposure to true information does not matter anymore. A person who was demoralized is unable to assess true information. The facts tell nothing to him. Even if I shower him with information, with authentic proof, with documents, with pictures; even if I take him by force to the Soviet Union and show him [a] concentration camp, he will refuse to believe it, until he [receives] a kick in his fat-bottom. When a military boot crashes his balls then he will understand. But not before that. That’s the [tragedy] of the situation of demoralization.” - Yuri Bezmenov, 1983.

    Follow the money. Its all about money.

    Steelwork Investments was given a state contract to house Ukrainians, later tries to evict them to house a load of African/middle eastern men for a higher amount.

    The company was non compliant with revenue and the Companies Office yet was still being granted contracts from the state. No due diligence was done. It stinks. Now they are in liquidation. Where has that money gone?

    Said the same to the Mrs yesterday. My take depends on the context. If these are controlled detention centres to get these lads out of expensively procured private accommodation then these might be a good thing. If these however are to up the ante in terms of importing net drains then these are not a good thing.

    Instead of building seven new centres to accommodate bogus AS, the focus should be on removing them from the State.

    Switz processes claims from four specific countries in 24 hours. We should aim to match that.

    The aim should be to reduce processing times from 68-81 weeks to one week.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,113 ✭✭✭✭lawred2


    Well obviously. But detention centres that restrict their freedoms while here are a damn sight better than the current free for all.

    However I fully expect these to be luxury camps where these lads come and go as they please.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 317 ✭✭Will0483


    There's no argument here anymore. There's a 95% consensus that mass 3rd world illegal immigration is a disaster and we need to start deprtations immediately. There's only one or two posters who don't agree. Lets just get on with it like the rest of Europe is starting to do.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 317 ✭✭Will0483


    You need to wake up. Most of these illegal immigrants and their 5-6 children will never work and the few that do will never pay net income tax. They will require social housing for their entire lives and will end up costing us 400-500k each over their lifetimes. This is not counting the increased security costs as some nationalities from sub-saharan Africa and the middle-east are 20-30 times more likely to commit violent crime as an Irish born person. There are literally no benefits to Ireland from allowing these people to live amongst us and only downsides. They are competing with the working class only in the sense of taking scarce Government funding for social housing.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 317 ✭✭Will0483


    I simply can't understand why it takes years to reject all these chancers. It must be corruption as more money flows the longer the fraud continues. One quick appeal then deportation if possible. If not, immediate eviction from the IPAS centre. One proper Irish winter on the streets here and they'll gladly feck off back towards Greece or Italy where they entered Europe initially. Hopefully soon, there will be right wing Governments everywhere in Europe who will remove these parasites even if Ireland can't or won't.

    The Asylum Economic Ecosystem that has sprung up. Lawyers, NGOs, Developers, Hoteliers and Landlords all suckling at the teat of the taxpayer.

    Ideology may fuel politicians and NGOs, but good old Irish Gombeenism fuels the rest.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,098 ✭✭✭Gussie Scrotch


    Correct. We have, initially with the best of intentions, created a monster.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 9,714 ✭✭✭Backstreet Moyes


    There were never good intentions, this is a money making scam.

    We are a decade or two behind the UK and we had plenty of evidence how this would play out.

    This is not a surprise to many people.

    I find it funny that your strategy to "test the vibe of this thread" revealed exactly why these government policies are not good for Ireland.

    You've admitted that the people we are brining in and putting up in hotels etc are going to compete for finite resources with those who are from lower socioeconomic backgrounds and those with poor education levels.

    So we have an certain amount of people dependent on the state and the plan is to bring in even more people who will also be dependent on the state and then they can struggle it out for access to services, that won't be scaled up in line with the population growth, and scant resources.

    It's not going to be the well educated or well off who will be affected, of course. The new arrivals won't be competing in those areas.

    However we'll be sure to berate those lower down in society for daring to even complain about the governments plans. Is that it?
