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

We mentioned this earlier, but the estate built to house IPAS applicants in Brittas without planning permission has been ordered to be demolished within 6 weeks by Judge Richard Humphries in the High Court.* Notwithstanding the fact that this development threatened drinking water supply for all of South Dublin, the judge had plenty to say about these chancers who argued in court that 29 block built houses were in effect the same as caravans granted permission in 1972, with the proviso that they be removed by 1973.

‘Nor is the situation made better by the almost unbelievable chutzpah of the
developers who even now claim “innocent mistake”, even though they
ignored or deflected warning letters and intensified construction of the
unauthorised development in the teeth of interventions from the council
and residents and during the course of proceedings before the Circuit
Court,’ he said.

‘This is as far from innocence as you can get – this was an attempt to
create a fait accompli with a view to turning around and defiantly
asking the system, in effect, “What are you going to do about it?”

Thankfully these will be removed, or else I'd like to see the directors involved get the Burke treatment for contempt of court.

*Edit: The developers will have to submit a remediation and landscaping plan in court on Wednesday June 10th. This plan is required to be approved and finalised by June 17th. If the developers decline to do it themselves, South Dublin County Council can take charge of the property, restore it to an acceptable state, and then invoice the owners for the full cost of works.

This prevents the property owners and developers from simply ignoring Justice Humphreys’ and Judge O’Connor’s orders, ensures that the work will be done on time, and that the costs will land squarely with the developers.

And they are verified to have the lowest employment rates in general of all refugees across Europe in any country that will actually report such things, as well as being top or close to the top in involvement in many types of violent crime (multiple times over represented in these areas compared to all immigrants from European countries).

If you suggest that these actual facts exist you are a nazi right wing bigot racist though. They will come here and enrich us with much needed diversity. Is it not about time that actual discussions were held based on the facts and outcomes that have been seen all over Europe, rather than pandering to the people that choose to ignore reality under the guise of social justice.

Assimilation, integration, immigration, multiculturalism between peoples from different ethnicities rarely ever works. Very small doses, grand. But when it’s pushed and promoted and encouraged and ramped up it only leads to trouble. We’re a tribal species at heart. We have always gravitated to our likeness!!

Its only going to get worse. Be interesting to see what happens in Spain. Unemployment rate touching 11% and about to grant amnesty to 500000 Africans so they can work but the 11% is double the EU average.

Let's see if they stick around to work. Or look for a soft touch elsewhere IN EU

You can thank roderic OGorman for that

I am amused that the government has banned two Israeli ministers from coming here.

They have no clue who is coming and going from the country at the best of times.

France has also banned Ben-Gvir, and Spain, France and Italy have called on the EU to impose sanctions on him, but I suppose that doesn't suit the narrative.

France also makes migrants unwelcome and either integrate or F off as they know first hand having been subjected to multiple terrorism attacks what mass immigration and ghettoisation ends up in

But I suppose that doesn’t suit the far left narrative

In the past year I have been to the three largest Spanish cities, and their immigration rate looks nothing like Dublin. Their people still all mainly look and sound Spanish as you walk the streets or take public transport, apart from the obvious tourists. It’s Spanish people serving you in shops, bars and restaurants. Barely a Roma or the Somalian woman in headscarves to be seen.

Yes, the numbers sound high, but just from appearances alone, Spain can probably absorb that number of people with their large population. It’s easy for people to hear the news and think it’s going on everywhere, but Ireland’s immigration rate is running at juggernaut speed, and we don’t have the large population to absorb it. It’s not the EU normal what’s happening here.

Big Jim or more like big bluff is no better !!
