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

What I would propose is to absolutely stop all asylum seeking into the country now because we have no idea how to deal with what we have and it’s only getting worse . Wev also no housing for our young people

However because our politicians have nothing resembling a back bone or any interest in our country I know this could never happen .

Instead I would decline every application from single males , they are the problem and we all know it . The vast majority are scammers . Accept applications from women and children under 14 ( too many con men claiming to be 17 when they are 30 ) . If their application is successful and they live crime free and independently for 2 years they can then apply for their husband to join then for family unification if he has no criminal history.

These women and children should live in asylum centres like Mosney was , if they get a job and earn enough to rent then so be it , if not they can stay living in these centres , away from the centres the men live in . They should not be anywhere near communities until they are employed and paying their way in this country

They should be absolutely at the bottom of any housing list and should never ever get a house before an Irish person

And if that’s not good enough for them they should be told to fck back to the sht holes they are coming from because the Irish people are sick of being told we should be sorry for or responsible for Stone Age Middle Eastern conflicts

I respectfully disagree.

We are a rich and politically stable country with a good system of human rights. We should be able to look after our own and contribute a bit to help others who are not blessed with the same freedoms that we enjoy.

I have no problem with my taxes going towards housing both our own citizens and a sensible number of people from abroad seeking sanctuary from wars or persecution.

Virtue signalling? 😅

How can you virtue signal on an anonymous forum?

our Govt still refuse to say how/why.. Tóibín asked Q and got no answers

.. no information has been given by the Government as to his movements in this jurisdiction. How long was he in this jurisdiction? I have heard it was 24 hours. Is this true? Did he apply for asylum here? Was the application refused? Did he have a visa? Did he have a passport? Was he checked for criminal records in his background?

The world is asking these questions and all we have is dead air from the Government at the moment. .. is it the case that the Government simply does not know any of this information whatsoever? The Government’s silence is damaging the people's confidence in its ability to manage immigration on an all-Ireland basis. It is creating an information vacuum. Will the Minister tell the people the background of this individual? https://www.kildarestreet.com/debates/?id=2026-06-11a.303#g313

That podcast is absolutely unlistenable these days. Ivan Yates was a bullshitter but at least he provided an ideological bulwark to Cooper. Now Cooper just gets on who he probably invites to his cosy upper middle class dinner parties.

We had a functioning asylum system, we took in Vietnamese boat people in the 1970's. We vetted and accepted people from UNHCR camps. Yet today any randomer from god's knows that rocks up can apply.

Ireland should only accept an annual quota from UNHCR camps, in the hundreds, not thousands. These tend to be women and children or full families. If Ireland was to stop IP / refugee applicatiins at the border, return them to the port they boarded the flight, and tell them to apply from a UNHCR camp via the offical channel, it would soon get the message out there and they'd give up coming. This is what plenty of other countries do around the world. Plus it complies with UN refugee convention ie. We will accept refugee via offical UN channels.

Why is this country so spineless to protect its borders, its residents, its culture, society, economy, etc.. if a Russian navy boat appears 50 miles off the Irish coast, the government are crying about the threat, deploying navy ships, a few prop planes, asking the British to send over fighter jets to get rid of the threat. Yet, thousands of foreign men of fighting age, many from hostile countries illegally enter the country every year with no identity papers, wander around on our streets, costing us a fortune and the government somehow doesnt see this as a state threat ?

Americans recently often say 'I'm so embarrased about my president and government' ... well I can say I'm embarrased about our Taoiseach and government over their lack of protecting the people who reside here legally (be Irish, EU, non EU, all colour, culture, creed, religion - as long as you arrived legally and reside legally).

I really don't want to take in a bunch of men from a country where Bacha bazi is an accepted communal cultural practice.

There will always be a need for some to virtue signal to prove how noble, tolerant and englightenend they are. Its the same reason that people share there lives on social media its a type of narcissism that seeks validation and its self serving the validation happens just by sharing with the wider public, its a worldview that is built on the ego.. I am a wonderfully moral, tolerant and kind individual therefore all other cultures must also be like mine so we must trust that all people are inherently good so no rules or laws surronding immigration should be enforced. Immigration laws are inherently racist and just examples of " white privileged racists " being the usual gate keepers.

Left wing progressive types (politicians, NGOs and every liberal person) cowed into rejecting there critical thinking skills are responsible for allowing a situation occur that sees our country as one of the largest social experiments on mass immigration in the world, the rate of demographic change in a country lacking critical infrastructure is mind boggling.

But if you control the narrative you can do what you like, Irish MSM hold none accountable.

Matt Cooper thinks it's great that when he gets the bus in Dublin he doesn't hear a word of English he says its like living in London - how wonderfully progressive how incredibly enlightend that man is.

He has never once on his show discussed the problems with mass immigration remember going back many years now there is

"no connection between housing and immigration"

its all bonkers there are no adults left overseeing anything.

I recall the exact same sentiments being levelled at Irish men following the Aisling Murphy murder. The media was falling over themselves to give air time to all sorts of nutjobs who were calling for curfews on Irish men and also a re-education programme for Irish men - all which was propagated by far-left ideologues who were barely challenged for these entrenched disgusting racist and ignorant remarks. Then, the perp wasn't Irish so the calls went silent very quickly. These far-left types are very fond of stirring the pot, but boy they don't like to lick the spoon afterwards, do they?

I hope the British keep hammering home this point about the CTA. It's embarrassing for Harris and Martin - and for them to be responsible for the loss of the CTA would be one of the biggest treasonous acts ever self-inflicted by an Irish government. The more the British hammer it home, the more Harris and Martin are going to have to hold their noses and pass laws they clearly don't want to pass.

And for anyone who mentions the fact that alot of IPA come over the NI border, yes - we know. The British would be lambasting us while not keeping their own house in order in the same regard. But if it forces this country's hand into doing whats needed, it will be worth it.

Then the came after Ashling's grieving boyfriend Ryan Casey.

The poster who made the comment has accepted that it's racist and stood by it.

If you judge an entire race of people as a whole entity and not accept that there are individuals within that group and you deem that entire race (eg. ALL Palestinians) to be inferior then it's racist.

I don’t know why some people get so upset over a definition. Stand over your opinion at least. If you think all Afghanistan men are scumbags then stand over it but don't moan when a statement that is clearly racist is labelled as such.

Excellent post.

The DUP should read that article, they have been doing a hatchet job on us since the attack in Belfast basically suggesting we are flooding the North with illegals when it's the other way round.
