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

Regarding IPAS. according to current figures there is a 20,000 backlog + backlog of asylum appeals, with 562 judicial review applications by failed asylum seekers. Unfortunately the maximum number of such judicial reviews completed has been 35 annually. So this will just continue on, until the bould Jim says we'll have to give a blanket amnesty.

But there is also another option, one the Irish Times mentioned this week, remigration.

I wonder will there an opt out for Ireland?

How long before we get a “EU must hate brown people” type post

Whatever about Cairns having a meltdown imagine what Coppinger, Murphy and Gannon will be like.

DsP need to take a harder stance on non nationals who spend excessive time on social welfare.

A Dundalk man, did she mention the race of his killer? Or mention Alex Coughlans death? Is the good doctor only concerned with black lives matter?

A hate filled idiot that gets paid out of Irish tax payers money to tell them that they are all filthy racists. The kind of turd that drives division by making everything about race and one side the perennial victim that can never be wrong and promoting the idea that everyone is racist against them

The line we're always told is that the booming economy is creating jobs faster than we can fill them, so if we don't bring in tens of thousands of immigrants the economy will grind to a halt. But how can they justify dishing out so many permits for sectors where employment is shrinking?

Did 47500 Irish workers from IT and the food sector retire in one year alone? Or did they all switch careers to become carpenters and teachers instead?

Did anybody say "we are all racist"?

Or is the messaging more like that there is a minority racist component who are disproportionately stinking up any discussion with their bullshit?

It seems to me that the only source of the "we are all racist" claim is racists themselves, and they've been using it as a DARVO tactic.

If somebody doesn't like being told they're engaging in racism there's a simple technique that they can do from the comfort of their own home - stop being a racist.

It would be our 15th biggest town from a population perspective, far from nothing
