My dads in Ethiopia atm with Trinity College, he's doing a Masters in Human Development ...i'd rather have 4 Ethiopians who are willing to work hard and contribute to Irish society, than about 20 Irish so called 'patriots' who sit on O'Connell bridge complaining about how 'de gubermint r crap nd Enda Kenny is shyte', while I work a 49 hour week on minimum wage to go to college.

Why are you presenting an either/or situation? There is none. I don't want either outfit dragging us down unfairly. Keep chancers out and hound our own chancers back into productivity.

Human Development? The only humans in Africa that need to be developed are the dictators and their lackeys that are sucking their own lands dry and topping that up with foreign aid, again composed to some extent with tax money paid up out of Irish workers wages. Maybe your dad could try and get an appointment with them whilst he is out there.

What chance do any EU Countries have when Asylum chancers only have to watch UK Border Force. They openly state on the show that without paperwork or ID they cannot deport offenders until they aquire the paperwork which can take months. So they release them under instruction to sign on every week but they vanish into the general population. Systems a joke.

i've heard the eating passports story before.

is it an urban myth?

why wouldn't they simply flush it down the toilet? How can you literally eat a passport?

If you can get a swan down yer gullet a passport would be no bother.

You be lucky you have the opportunity to live your own life and buy you own groceries in the first place.

Would you like to trade places with an asylum seeker in direct provision?

Well it must be if people are risking their lives on those boats to get here.

It's pretty much the reverse jackpot for the Irish taxpayer.

I was a couple of years ago when I returned from Australia. No dole to help me get on my feet at home. I couldn't get a job so had to sponge of my folks. No insurance as I was out of the country too long aswell..

You would be entitled to dole as a citizen you would just have to wait to be processed, meanwhile you would get money from the health board.

You would be entitled to an insurance quote, you may not like the quote given but that is not the same as not being refused insurance.

SundayWorld now say it's 8 asylum seekers

They had documentation when they boarded the flight. This shouldn't be an issue, they should be put on the next Ethiopian flight out of the country. There are far better things to spend public money on in this country. Hopefully this isn't going to be another economic migrant tactic, skip the people trafficking boats and fly direct to your country of choice.

RTÉ are supposed to be the national broadcaster and report the news. They are paid handsomely by the taxpayer to do same!

So? That's not the dole, free mobile phones and the like.

It's the most economic option we have as EU members. A holding centre would cost more. We can't lock them up without feeding them. We are legally bound to process them, which as has been said should happen quicker.

If they are turned down we should of course be dropping them off at the Ethopian embassy and telling them to arrange for their transport home.

Pretty funny that some here seem to assume that if you have any money at all then you can't possibly qualify for assylum :rolleyes:

The assumption that every one that applies for asylum is granted it when the truth is that less than 10% of application are successfull is also amussing but I guess why let the facts get in the way of a good auld rant!

Over 90% of asylum claims made in the state are unfounded. Unfortunately, very few ever get deported.

Only 38% of Africans resident here are employed. Staggering figure.

Nodin considers himself a left wing republican socialist. Here he is making fun of a working man just scraping on by because he had the gall to question our insane immigration policies. And the European left wonder why they are hemorrhaging votes to nationalist parties throughout Europe.

Is it a bird, is it a plane, no its an illegal immigrant.

8 asylum seekers is only news to the most infantile and insular. There are far more important happenings right now, this can't even be top 250.

If they are in DP for longer than six months then their asylum claim has been rejected and they are in the appeal process. They are free to leave at any given time.

Over 90%.

"A small but well placed minority of commentators have sought to create the impression that Ireland's treatment of asylum seekers is harsh and unfair. They have consistently concealed the real facts from the Irish people. Moreover, they have sought to create the impression that anyone who points out the true situation is engaging in political racism. They hint at international comparisons which do not exist.

They refuse to address the very large abuse of asylum protection in Ireland. They claim to believe that it is wrong to point out what is happening lest it create prejudice against genuine asylum seekers. They are engaging in a form of verbal intimidation of those who would tell the truth."

Dealing fairly but efficiently with the large number of unfounded asylum claims which are being received which represent over 90% of the total asylum applications being processed annually

You can't think of any reason the boat people would cling to those flimsy old boats except for 20 quid a week?

We should be proud of the great, whizzing economy and all the opportunities we've created in Europe. We should not be surprised when our neighbours, either for economic reasons or because of war and disease, want to join our efforts. We have an ageing population. We should help them come and work in an organised way.

They're not coming here for 20 euro, they're coming here because of the disorder and chaos of their homelands which prevents them reaching their potential and bettering themselves.

I've no doubt many of them are "economic migrants", desperate not to flitter away their lives in some wretched backwater. I think it's a bit high & mighty for an Irishman to decry such an ambition. I don't see anything wrong with it myself.

Europe is an incredibly closed fortress. It doesn't engage with its regional neighbours on economic visas in any meaningful way, and it doesn't take its fair share of refugees. Which is why people from these regions sometimes resort to drastic measures.
