Liberal = someone who wants to turn a society into a Leninist one.

The levels of crazy here tonight are spiralling out of control.

Wonder will the groups that it's ok to be racist to be provided at some stage?

If it's so obvious then you should have no trouble telling us who aren't as astute as you are.

Tourist numbers were actually up in 2013 - Source

They did drop off alright a few years ago but that was probably more to do with the global recession than someone from Poland serving an American a fry.

I do enjoy a novel approach to xenophobia though so blaming immigrants for a drop off in tourism is enjoyable from that angle even if it is a load of absolute boll*cks.

Yes, it wasn't the high cost of holidaying in Ireland, as has been acknowledged by Tourism Ireland which has seen a strong growth in the sector since it has become more competitive, it was the immigrants. THE IMMIGRANTS!!!

The high cost is about the same as the UK. Which has a tourist industry which is many times greater than ours.

The cost argument is as much of a BS argument as anybodies.

AND high cost of service and LACK of identity. In other words, one could fly to Poland and have a great holiday served by Polish people and have an ethnic experience and a genuine experience and to punch one in the face, CHEAPER too.

The cost argument holds more water than the immigrant one to be honest.

But you still haven't responded to my link that shows an actual increase in tourism last year even though immigration rose didn't it?

How does that work?

Surely if the immigrants are killing the tourist industry the more immigrants we have the less tourists we should be getting?

You've also neglected to provide us with a list of who we can be racist against on boards.

England is a country of 60 million people. Ireland has less people than the Greater Manchester area. Naturally their tourist industry is going to be many times bigger than ours.

The Irish Tourist Industry Confederation have said:

The body said that one of the biggest challenges is remaining competitive and not repeating the mistakes of the past, when high costs made Ireland too expensive for most visitors.

It's hardly a BS argument.

But let's blame the immigrants instead. THE IMMIGRANTS!!!

My point is so far above your head that you can't understand it. I'm talking about a mentality. A mentality that treats anything different with disdain and fear. A mentality that isn't capable of understanding another culture. This is were the Irish roll over because we are not allowed or be conditioned to be critical without guilt or condemnation.

Now, sell cheaper and one may not accrue the returns, but value for money/service/ attractions ? against just London. ?

That attitude killed the B&B industry in Ireland who thought they offered a better service because it was personal, when in fact for years, one could get a 4 star hotel for less with infinitely better service and cuisine.

I'm confused. Do we treat immigrants with disdain or do we roll over without being critical?

Its a BS argument. The equivalent of "the immigrants" as you put it argument. We don't try hard enough is the fact. Driving down costs is a direct attack on wages. A sure fire way of getting the best people out of the tourist industry.

Don't get so upset and angry over being merely disagreed with/the holes in what you're saying being pointed out/the request for back-up for your statements.

In Cork the Evening Echo is sold by a variety of colors on the streets, if one is interested, one can look up declining sales, but I'm sure that has more to do with poor journalism and editing.

Print media is dying on its arse. You can check every paper in the country and see corresponding declining sales. That is nowt to do with the papers being sold by immigrants.

I think you should have a look at that link before you accuse people of calling other people an idiot.

What's your point? We'll be turning this country into a red utopia soon so your better of just joining the revolution.

My point is that liberal does not automatically mean wanting to turn a society into a Leninist one.
And no thanks. Far left loons are, in some ways, as bad as far right ones.

You can cite it but do you have anything to back it up? I can't find anything online...

On Medialive The ECJ seems to sell about 6,150 according to the publisher (most likely unverified) and the Evening Echo sells 15,397 according to the ABC circulation figures for January-June 2013.

I can't find anything to show that figures went up or down but the ABCs for that period show the sharp decline in newspaper figures - something that I'm sure is reflected in the Evening Papers

The Evening Echo is legally a NEW paper as it went bankrupt last year and legally started again.

It's just over a year old and not 150 years as the ads say.

I've spent the last 5 years getting a bus down to O'Connell St. then walking to college. It's so awful hearing all those voices I can't quite make out and seeing those different skintones. How I love the nights I stay late and walk through a scene from a zombie film instead.

Despite what the PC brigade think, from an economic POV, Ireland is suffering. We are not attracting repeat business. I will dig the figures out later. The "Irish" angle is dead. Tourists visiting Ireland do not want "Paul" polskie, "Anwar", islam or "Chimi" Buddist, being part of their Irish experience. Why would they for FFS?

While tourism is but a micro representation of life on this island, it still represents a rather large part of what we project. Us that live here have differing opinions, but the whole "Irish" thing is being beaten into the ground by the en masse acceptance of cultures. Why? Is it because we try to be "liberal"? Are we so insecure as a nation that we feel obliged? Are we so blasted by a 1000 years of invasion, that we feel we deserve it? Look around us. Irishness is disappearing quicker than farts in the wind. We can accept other cultures and be Irish at the same time, but as a race we seem to succumb to immigrants and roll over. Why? Because we have always done that. Its what we do.

Wow, that paragraph is so full of hateful nationalism. All these ideas are vague abstractions like...."Irishness"....in other words a collective identity doled out at birth that you're supposed to uphold in the name of the nation state. F**k that *S**t....I've got my own identity and I'm not going to be dictated to on how to conduct my life. My interests, tastes, hobbies, personality, character are all my own, I don't need anyone shoving a pre-packaged version of what I'm supposed to be down my throat. Nationalists never see the big picture, they think they're rebels standing up to some sort of imaginary global conspiracy when they are actually social conformists swallowing the version of themselves that they've been sold by their manipulators.
