Belfast Far Right Riots 2026 [Mod Note in OP]

The Irish mentioned above were legal immigrants.

Legal immigration is welcome. See categories (1) to (6) below:

(1) Irish returning home = welcome

(2) EU citizens who work = welcome (**non-working to be removed, e.g. the Puskas family)

(3) non-EU with visas = welcome (*although I think we should reduce the inflow by raising the minimum salary)

(4) non-EU study visas = welcome (*although due to the extreme rents and housing crisis, I think we should reduce this inflow)

(5) UKR refugees = welcome, although we were too generous, and received way too many compared to other countries

(6) programme refugees = welcome, I suggest 1,000 per year max

It is category no. 7 that are not welcome:

(7) bogus asylum-seekers. 80% to 90% of applicants are bogus, as stated by the Irish Govt.

Note that category 7 is a small share of immigration. Current inflows are about 20,000 pa I think? So even if the Irish Govt stopped bogus AS, there would still be plenty of immigration.

Note that you can be pro-immigration [1 to 6], but also against one type of illegal immigration [7].

The percentage bogus has ranged from 80% to 90%, according to official sources.

Few of these are ever removed, unfortunately.

We let them stay, even though the Govt here admits that their claims aren't genuine.

Bad and all as this is, the support for the SocDems is actually rising!!!!

They are an avowedly open-borders, anti-deportation party.

FF and FG say the AS are bogus, yet let them stay.

The SD would be worse!!! They would invite more to come here!!!!

So, all the European travelling and expansion and creation over centuries you'd rather never happened? It's why we have civilization today; plundered my arse!!!

Oh, and I am not comparing at all…..the two scenarios are not remotely the same, nor should they be compared to try make them remotely the same.

It has increased by around 25% in the last 15 years

Population in 2010 = 4.47 million

Population 2025 = 5.46 million

Considering the figures about fertility in Ireland in recent years and the percentage of immigrants in Ireland then the increase of our population is being mainly caused by immigration is true.

Over 20% if our population were born outsude of Ireland

Only 70% of births in 2025 were born to mothers of Irish nationality (no info on whether these mothers were Irish or are just paper citizens)

There were 54k births in Ireland in 2025 and 35k deaths

70% of these births are by Irish women which is 37.8k so essentially our natural birth rate would keep the population fairly stable with just a slight increase each year.

Over 20% of our population were born outside the state.

All of these things are facts not education by social media , census figures are very easy to find.

1.7m people over 20 years is a migration rate comparable similar to what we’re seeing here in the 2020’s - Ireland is far smaller than the East coast of the United States or even New England. We’re also in the midst of a severe housing crisis.

And what about the fact that there was no welfare back then? Irish migrants if not working were not getting free healthcare etc funded by the taxes of the existing American populace. Meanwhile we are spending billions of taxes annually on our asylum system alone.

There is no comparison, it’s preposterous

So why do you get so upset when people from Africa and Asia do it? Why should it just be a privilege for white people then?

Your points always seem to be that it's fine for white people.

The following isn't from Facebook.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Denmark/comments/1icwy7b/violent_crime_conviction_rate_in_denmark_by/

That's from Statbank from the Danish government. Posted on a thread on Denmark Reddit (those well known racists on Denmark Reddit).

Denmark, as it seems to be hard to get good data on crime by race/country anywhere. The Danes have it though.

So, obviously this will be attacked and scrutinised to death but, if I'm not mistaken: 1. the source is fine (Statbank).

2. A criticism that it may not be controlled for by socioeconomic factors (not sure if that's true anyway) is moot as these are the ages and sex of the people being imported to the country. So it is relevant as to how much crime is affected by the new arrivals.

3. Further down the thread, there is adjustment to the figures anyway and a pattern remains.

4. Even with all these caveats, it's something that can't just be ignored. There is a distinct signal here.

This is the kind of thing that needs to inform mature, grown up debate about immigration. Not feelings.

"Granting leave-to-remain to bogus asylum seekers"

How can it be 'bogus' if leave-to-remain was granted - that means their application is legitimate.

Scroll back a page and you'll see full well that this was about the presence of a Sudanese community who are now living in fear. You can spare me the performative outrage while you're at it.

No. I want priviledge for my tribe.

They probably have a different approach to things. The Nordics are famous for being high tax, high welfare societies. By contrast, the Irish expect American levels of tax and Scandinavian levels of public services. When we had the boom, Charlie McGreevy decided to waste it on tax cuts so people could keep up with the Joneses and buy holiday homes in Eastern Europe. Unsurprisingly, the chickens came home to roost.

The Danes tightly control immigration but they also invest in their country. Ireland is happy to educate its people and send them to England, to the US, to Australia or wherever.

No party is going to be stupid enough to raise taxes so nothing ever changes.

Historians estimate between 4 & 18 million Native people lived in present day US & Canada pre-colonisation. Hardly "largely empty".

“Natives of Ireland comprised 53.9 per cent of New York City’s foreign-born inhabitants in 1855, but at Bellevue Hospital, 85 per cent of all the foreign born admitted from 1849 to 1859 were born in Ireland.”

Dillingham Commission Reports (1911)

Bellevue Hospital was a psychiatric hospital in the 19th century.

Indeed. Go to any Dublin hospital and the nurses are predominantly Indian and Filipino. We'd be gooched without them because newly graduated Irish nurses will happily tell you that they are going to Australia or Saudi for the money as soon as they can afford the flight.

Unfortunately that is not how it works.

The Irish Govt grants leave-to-reman, despite the Govt also admitting that 80% of applicants are bogus.

Why exactly they let bogus AS stay here, I don't know.

But they do.

The Taoiseach staes openly, and clearly, that 80% of AS are in fact economic migrants.

But he also leads a Govt that grants them the right to stay here.
