    It’s ludicrous that we have over 3000 Somalis here, they need to be seen home. Why are we even entertaining these chancers when we know they are here to rip us off instead of looking for safety when they have a whole continent available.

    This has to be a pisstake right😂


    The ministry said that DRC's government remained committed to the protection of its citizens living abroad and to safeguarding their dignity, as well as respecting human rights and the principles of justice.

    ffs, why wasn’t she told that the reason so many Congolese are here is because they don’t feel safe in their own country. Would have been a perfect opportunity to suggest returning them home for their own safety

    These groups probably receive government funding.

    The security guards are entitled to the presumption of innocence until forensic evidence proves them at fault.

    In honour of one of our most esteemed contributors on this thread could I implore you to say ‘allegedly they don’t feel safe in their own country’😂

    The Henry Nowak case in the UK has me wondering now. Vickrum Digwa, a Sikh, has now been convicted of murdering innocent 18-year-old uni student Henry Nowak after stabbing him to death with a kirpan.

    There is no specific legal exemption for Sikhs to carry a kirpan in Ireland, and it needs be treated like any other knife after the Nowak case. The video below shows the interaction between the Gardai and and father concerned regarding the man armed with kirpan “I understand that but it’s different cultures and religious beliefs.” I just think that this is mental.

    *Im only using this account for the video. Its not an endorsement of the account.

    There's been a several reports on the radio over the past few days about how medics working in the Congo with Ebola patients are getting grief from the locals for bringing Ebola into the country, equipment being burnt and the police and military having to protect the facilities, all the unrest led by local witchcraft and shamen, it's one very backward country



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,172 ✭✭✭✭lawred2


    They demand justive

    What a collection of complete retards.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,749 ✭✭✭creedp


    Seriously you’d want to be a **** hot diplomat to listen to that crap while managing to keep a straight face. The sick pandering to this crap needs to stop



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,910 ✭✭✭RoyalCelt


    A great example of why the inclusion policies around immigrants don't put the concerns of the Irish first. You should never be allowed carried a knife around just because it's okay in a foreign religion just like you shouldn't be allowed marry children.

    I'm sure you could find parts of Christianity that would never be allowed these days either and rightly so.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 29,923 ✭✭✭✭_Kaiser_


    Ya, I think this lot are badly overestimating the amount of support they have outside of their own community and some journalists in mainstream media trying to stir up a reaction for an apparently habitual criminal who seems to have caused a lot of problems for the people and workers in that area. Not least being the man in his 80s that he injured at the same time.

    That's not to say that his death wasn't unfortunate of course, but it doesn't change this, and the exact circumstances are yet to be determined/published as you say.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,895 ✭✭✭Jack Daw


    Reading about the Nowak case is extremely angering

    They put cuffs on a man for "racism" and didnt believe him when he said hed been stabbed

    It would've taken 20 seconds to check if hed been stabbed and then they could've reacted more appropriately regarding the victim of this crime and the perpetrators

    This case is a prime example of how anti racism bullshit has become cancerous in public institutions as it puts forward the idea that you must always give the benefit of the doubt to the non white person

    Hopefully the police are forced into releasing the video evidence.

    Front page of the papers yet we will never get the same for Alex Coughlan.

    If she was working,why was she living in an IPAS centre?

    Govt need to change the process, just give them all work permits and remove the supports and accomadation. Let's see if people still want to come here.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 29,923 ✭✭✭✭_Kaiser_


    Unfortunately we just don't have the houses or supports for the level of immigration we are experiencing, period.

    We not only need to remove or at least severely curtail the freebies that are drawing many of these people like a magnet, we need to tighten up the criteria that allow them in in the first place.

    Economic migrants posing as asylum-seekers, chancers skipping through half of Europe to get here, criminals - all need to be denied at the point of entry and sent back to where they came from.

    Even legal migrants need limits imposed - don't have a job lined up, don't have a verifiable ability to support yourself for a minimum of 6 months? Unemployed for more than 3 months? Back where you came from.

    Commit serious crimes or cause significant disruption in the community because of your religious or cultural beliefs or behaviour? Back where you came from.

    Citizenship eligibility needs to be severely restricted rather than the free-for-all it currently is with amnesties and minimal waiting periods. We also need to enforce stripping it again where the individual has proven themselves a liability to the State or our society.

    Our usual "be grand" attitude, or softly-softly half-assed approach hasn't worked and we're in a crisis scenario at this point. It's time we started responding accordingly.

    Tragic as her death is, and I mean that sincerely - no one deserves that fate (the Indo is reporting she was dumped in a river after the attack), how did she end up in an IPAS centre in Galway in the first place?

    I did a quick search and there doesn't seem to be any direct flights so I'm presuming she arrived from another European country. The Indo report says she's here since 2024 so she wasn't fleeing the current conflict either.

    She was working locally with her 2 children in school (what happens to them is the next question - given all the scandals and issues we've seen with Tusla, I wouldn't wish that on anyone) so it would seem that she was an economic migrant. Under what criteria did she gain entry? She's working so why in an IPAS centre 2 years later? Are these effectively being used as homeless shelters?

    I'm asking these questions in a general sense rather than just specifically about this poor woman who absolutely didn't deserve this outcome, but neither did she deserve to be living in an IPAS centre either.

    It's another example of how broken the current system is and how little supports, housing, services there actually are to sustain all these people turning up here for a better life.

    Hard choices have to be made as I said previously and unfortunately for some, those choices should favour the needs, problems and best outcomes for the Irish and Ireland first and foremost. Only then can we start thinking about what we can do for anyone else who lands at our door because under the current mess, EVERYONE is losing - natives and migrants alike.

    You have to wonder if these people actually laugh themselves to sleep.

    We need to stop hate and division.

    Let's protest with the intent to create hate and division.

    Genuis.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,521 ✭✭✭1800_Ladladlad


    Now thats a front page example of a economic migrant who used the asylum system as a trojan horse like the 1000s of others in this country.

    I wonder where the Killer is from and how much their contribution to Ireland has cost us over the years ?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,085 ✭✭✭Juran


    "She's working so why in an IPAS centre 2 years later? Are these effectively being used as homeless shelters?" .. i think for 80% of residents in IPAs centres/hotels, the answer is Yes. These are long term homeless free accomidation.

    I often say it, if you cant manage the rent costs in Ireland, head off to Europe or UK and come back pretenting to be an AS with no paperwork, no english. Once you get your free hotel room, problem solved. And you're free to work again after a few months.

    If you are blonde / ginger with white irish skin, thats ok, stick on a burka, they wont ask you to remove it in case they offend you.

    That woman should have been here. She was fleeing persecution. But it was from the men from her country. And with our open door policy, we welcomed in that very threat and continue to do so every day. We failed her. No men from these countries. The evidence is clear. We unfortunately had to use our own country as a sandbox for this little experiment.

    There was a famous Indian (Native American) called Iron Eyes Cody.

    From the 1920s to the 1990s he starred in hundreds of movies and TV shows playing an Indian including TV shows like Cheyenne, Fantasy Island and The A-Team.

    Most famously he starred in an anti-litter advert where he picked up another nickname the crying Indian.

    After his death, it was revealed he was actually an Italian pretending to be an Indian.

    As always, the question still remains unanswered on what is the benefit to Ireland?

    I think a proposed women and children only policy could be interesting. It would probably be the only possible way to make certain people complain about discrimination against men.

    It's interesting that the more feminist minded people in Ireland will use the old slogan "yes all men" when talking about predatory and dangerous behaviours towards women but for some reason don't think bringing even more men into the country is an issue at all.

    Sometimes in polite society I think we are playing a messed up game of "chicken" with each other. Watching all of these horrific events taking place, unsustainable uses of taxpayer money a grim outlook for the future of Ireland but we're keeping an eye on each other to see who complains first so that they can be called "Racist!"

    The thing is that this situation seems to be getting progressively worse. Incident after incident.

    It's completely unsustainable but anybody who says so is shouted down.

    I'm a melting pot kind of guy. I believe in integration and we all benefit. We take the good from all sides, we all grow, and the bad should fade away. This only works in a liberal society though. I often think that parents who come over might be a lost cause, but once you get their kids onto school and assimilate into our ways and into the workforce, then that's a good thing.

    Women, I feel would be most open to this, as they are escaping something real, oppression by men. but men, hardcore Muslim men, are as counter as you can get to that, deeply illiberal, total lost cause, not worth it anymore, until they can address the roots of their extremism.

    Its a bit rich having a Minister from Congo giving us a lecture on what should be happening in our country.

    Maybe she should concentrate on sorting out her own house first before telling us what to do in ours.
