Incident at Roscommon hotel (asylum seekers)

NIMAN · 12-02-2019 8:37am

Majority are refugees who then apply for asylum?

Both of those towns are quite larger than Roosky and have far more services and facilities.

“Quite larger”? C’mon, they are really small towns. None of them are bursting with facilities.

The big fear amongst people here seems to be mostly related to the worry that crime will increase. I think they are close enough in size to Roosky to try and get some idea of whether that will happen. And Ballyhaunis especially would be interesting to consider as the sizeable Muslim population has been there for 40 years or more at this stage. It’s got a large number of asylum-seekers AND a separate significant Muslim community.

Sad to see these hotels getting attacked, and I say that as someone who lives within 15min of the one in Donegal.

I watched the final part of the 3 part series on the EU last night, and to see the plight of these asylum seekers is heart breaking. How desperate are these people to walk hundreds of miles, sleep in camps, risk their lives on overcrowded boats just to try to get a better life for them and their families.

Ireland have taken such a small number, it really shouldn't be an issue.

It is heart breaking to see these refugees, genuine people fleeing war. And we should have excellent systems in place for offering refuge.

There are problems though.

For example, the word refugee has been abused, if not completely gutted of meaning, by those in political power over the past years in the EU, in essence to achieve movement of large numbers of economic migrants to fill the gaps in their economies due to their own population issues.

Another problem is the undeniable increase in crime, especially sexual violence. Countries like Sweden and Finland for example, where despite all attempts to mask the figures there have been verifiably serious problems.

I know we have our own rapists, but there is a tendency towards gang rape and particular brutality in the stories of migrant rape. It is very very hard as a woman not to burn inside with unreasonable fury reading these stories, and the regular attempts to cover them up. Some of the stories are beyond belief, including rape of small children, rape with broken bottles, gang rapes as I have said.
This doesn't help one be reasonable when it comes to the subject matter of migrants.

One of the other complicating factors is the theory of multiculturalism that was embraced by cultural relativists, whereby migrating peoples have not been expected to integrate fully into communities and adopt the local cultural ethos.

Pictures or descriptions of whole areas of western cities filled with people dressed as if they are living in a desert place, displaying medieval levels of misogyny - women not allowed in cafés, for example, or children wearing hijab, morality police on the streets, sharia courts in operation on the quiet, religious schools that do not educate children beyond scripture, hate preaching tolerated in mosques - are frankly very unsettling, no matter how reasonable one tries to be.

There are undeniably large problems and people should stop trying to shut down debate about migration.

Being quite familiar with all three towns and from working in Ballaghaderreen and Roosky on an almost daily basis I know for fact that there is vast differences in services.

Example 1 x mini market, 1 x church, 1 x post office, 1 x primary school as opposed to towns with supermarkets, council offices, libraries, secondary schools, health care centres, parks, halal shops, mosques, chemists, full time garda stations, fire stations, barbers etc.

I’m just surprised that some people responding to this thread - displaying an interest in the topic - didn’t know that there are already small towns in Ireland housing not insubstantial numbers of asylum-seekers.

In After Hours, most people's "interest" in this topic is in taking a dump on asylum seekers and nothing more. Facts mean nothing to these people.

People have concerns seeing the ghettos of the UK and the state of sweden/germany /france as to whether its appropriate to have masses of other cultures move in.
Its ignorant in the extreme to sneer at those concerns and to deny there are issues.

Remember you thought monaghan was in northern ireland.....yet you lecture people on facts...ffs.

Do you honestly think there is nothing to gleaned from the presence of a large percentage of asylum seekers in these not-much-bigger towns? And, like I said, Ballyhaunis has not only a lot of asylum-seekers, but a separate long-standing Muslim community. The reason Ballyhaunis has a mosque and halal shops is because of the Muslim population that some people so fear.

I’m being quite genuine here when I ask if anyone knows whether crime has increased in towns such as these. Is civil order breakdown much more likely in Roosky because there aren’t council offices or a library or a barbershop in town? I’m being a tad facetious there but seriously, asylum-seekers still represent a large percentage of the population of these towns. If one can only compare using a town of exactly the same amenity-level and population, that’s going to be pretty hard to do.

Galwayguy35 · 12-02-2019 9:33am

I think part of the problem is that they are dumped into small communities without any consultation with the people who actually live there which in turn leads to frustration and anger and causes some people to lash out.

David Stanton even said in an interview that locals have no right to voice concerns and should just accept it.

I doubt there were any asylum seekers housed in his posh neighbourhood though.

TheQuietFella · 12-02-2019 9:34am

I think that genuinely people have had enough of migrants or refugees regardless of their situation,
however unfortunate it might have been.
These people are being forced into communities with little or no consideration
for the people already living within those communities.

What is then the overall plan for these people? I can't imagine Rooskey as
a hub of employment. Where then are these people going to live as I can
only assume they can't stay indefinitely in what was provided.

Or maybe locals don't want 80 odd asylum seekers in there village so are trying to burn the hotel Down to stop it?

How does anyone know that? what if is just a case of vandalism? or the suggestion is there are people living there already? maybe they are responsible, but some posters are pointing the finger blaming people and have already concluded the reason, maybe its true but no one here knows. I cant say Id be particularly impressed if I lived there or had a family there and a lot of people who are usually complete unknown entities in terms of their background are just allowed in?

Indeed not, but some folk with young kids are fleeing genuine horror. Women and children who face the same fate as that poor German girl, and terrorised men too - I would like it if this country could help some of them out. But I am not dismissing your concern either. It's a quandary.

Fleeing where? Syria? that war is all but over, and it was only prolonged by support from Saudi Arabia for one, a country that can be condemned on numerous counts for human rights issues. There will always be some place to flee, at what point would we say no? or that it simply isnt sustainable?

I guess it looks good for the politicians that dont have to deal with the consequences, I for one do not want to see a situation develop here like exists in Sweden, Finland Germany or other countries, they are victims of some kind of scam I consider, among the many non genuine refugees there may be some genuine refugees, but many are simply economic migrants and are conning these countries, they are a victim of their own extremism, neo liberalism.

Facts mean nothing to many, seems some Irish people have been blamed for this without any kind of proof. Not all Asylum seekers are genuine decent people and it is claimed we dont take in many relative to other countries, why should that matter? we are a small country of limited means (or so it seems when it comes to helping our own and anyone here already), there is not an endless means to help all the world, if the money spent in reducing the countries asylum seekers came from to rubble or not impoverishing them, even improving them, these problems would not exist, the solution is not to take all and sundry in, because how does that fix anything? it would be never ending, who do you say no to? at what point?

Whatever their views, which they are entitled to, setting fire to a building is utterly scummy. The explanation is not an excuse. The emergency services, which probably have to bring reinforcements on board from a larger town, are tied up by it - hopefully there isn't another such serious incident occurring at the same time. There are residences and businesses nearby, smoke damage, scorched ground, high financial costs. Defending your town by setting fire to a building is a hell of a twisting of logic.

Scorched earth policy?

Graces, with all respect dumping a large number of people in a small town will lead to trouble. There's bugger all facilities in these places. Sure during the boom people from Dublin sold their homes and moved to places like Mullingar and Rochfordbridge, this caused a certain element of them and us type mentallity, "bloody Dubs coming down here and causing trouble". And them fellow spud pickers, not a load of easily distingushable people.
It's probably the whole parish thing and outsiders are bad.

What people? what war? where are they coming from? you sound like you are talking about somewhere specific?
If you mean the Syrian conflict/war which was furthered by something of a fifth column, their atrocities and destruction caused and funded by outside forces.
Its all but over.

Should we bring everyone who has experienced war here? and how? by what means?

Would it not be better to advocate change where they are coming from or fund improvements and rebuilding there or anywhere this occurs, at the least we (the West) could assist in preventing it occurring (and not encourage/fund it, because the problem of trying to fix the situation by bringing people here, doesnt actually fix anything.
At some point it wouldnt be possible to fund it (and its not that I think thats a good reason, but cost will come up somewhere, especially you have a situation where people cant access housing or services in this country already) but at some point a policy of supporting asylum would stop end or at least support for it so that it might dwindle, how would it be decided who the last person would be? and the first person to be stopped, how would that be decided? or do we just let everyone in? and how would that work out? what will any number of people do if they are just brought here? work/housing/ our system is already under strain, mostly in my opinion through financial mismanagement and mismanagement genrally.

I think supporting asylum seekers (genuine ones) ould be possible but in small numbers, but it would require people to be heavily investigated, to determine who they are, because there is a significant motivation for people to want to start a new life, especially if they have a criminal background or have been involved in activities abroad which would mean they would not have a positive effect here.

Would it not make more sense for asylum seekers to be housed in Dublin or Cork or Galway, where there are more resources, rather than a tiny economic blackspot in the middle of nowhere?

Not really, these rural communities are in need of regeneration. Keep hearing that rural Ireland is dying. On processing their asylum claims, those who are successful can move to the cities, if they wish to do so.

Ireland already spends almost 1bn a year on foreign aid. We should cut that completely or pull up the drawbridge.

Given that there were hundreds, if not into the thousands, of sham marriages between illegal Asian immigrants and EU women, then clearly the illegal Asian immigrants didn't just apply, but actually got into Ireland.

This has all been reported.

It was in reference to locals complaining there would not be room in the schools for their children.

What will happen is what happened in Ballyhaunis; an improvement of facilities .

4. Shariah law!! Jaysus they will have all the pubs closed down and supermarkets will be alcohol free zones.

Actually aide from the obvious jest, the Swedes had to introduce 'women-only' music festivals in recent years (prgress?), due to fear of what could be called 'p___ grabbers' of non-local origin.

The Interior Minister for Sweden on Thrursday said:

"Sweden is one of a handful of countries that continue to have internal border controls due to lack of border controls at the Schengen's external borders.”

"The decision is based on the government's assessment that there is a threat to public order and internal security in Sweden.”

Checks on car and train traffic were implemented at the Öresund Bridge, as well as at ports in Varberg, Gothenburg, Malmö, Helsingborg and Trelleborg. Another 12 sites, including airports, were added to the check areas last summer.

Sweden will boost its border officers by 100, bringing the total number to 400 by the end of 2019. It's lefty SD party had their worst election results in over 100yrs, and the PM resigned shortly after last years elections.

---

Then there's Denmark, a former open, warm, welcoming country that has now introduced 'forced integration' policies due to clear integrations issues (learn Danish, cultural values, and worst of all 'shake hands' or your welfare payments wil stop).

They've even started expelling asylum seekers/economic-migrants to a remote island who's name translates as 'virus'.

Zorya · 12-02-2019 6:00pm

For those who think people who are wary of migrants are monsters, just a brief look at some news from Finland in the last few months....

Finland has 5 million citizens, thereabouts, so in or around the same as us, though spread out more, I guess.
From 2015 to 2017 they had a big increase in migrants entering the country - especially from Iraq and Afghanistan. About 30,000 per annum. A jump from about 3000 in 2014.

In 2017 the police stats for Finland record rates of sexual offenses per nationality at 3.33 per 10,000 Finnish people, 28 per 10,000 for people from Sweden and Somalia and between 133 - 138 per 10,000 for people from Iraq and Afghanistan. (wikipedia)

On 5th December 2018,

Kai Mykkänen (NCP), the Minister of the Interior, has expressed his shock at reports that an underage girl has been raped and sexually abused repeatedly by a group of men in Oulu, North Ostrobothnia.

“Things like these shouldn’t be happening in Finland,” he said .

http://www.helsinkitimes.fi/finland/finland-news/domestic/16005-these-kind-of-things-shouldn-t-be-happening-in-finland-says-mykkaenen.html

More recently in January 2019 in Helsinki....

HELSINKI – Just when we’ve learned about the series of child abuses in the northern city of Oulu, the Helsinki Police Department raided an apartment building in Roihuvuori, East Helsinki, on Saturday evening.

According to the police, they caught three suspects of a foreign background. They are suspected of aggravated child abuse and aggravated rape.

https://finlandtoday.fi/police-catch-three-foreign-men-in-a-raid-in-roihuvuori-men-suspected-of-child-abuses-and-rapes/

And this has even prompted the Finnish President Niinisto to say...

“The acts in Oulu are shocking us with their inhumanity. It’s even more shocking that these deeds have targeted children.”

According to Niinistö, it’s unbearable that more suspicions have surfaced. “It’s unbearable that some who have sought asylum from us, and even received an asylum, have brought evil to us and created insecurity.”

Niinistö continued by saying that good must also be capable to firmness. “We must by being more determined than before act by making sure that Finland will continue to be a righteous and safe country. We need an open and factual discussion and decisions that are weighted thoroughly. The problems must be grasped and they must be solved.”

https://finlandtoday.fi/president-niinisto-its-unbearable-that-some-asylum-seekers-have-brought-evil-to-us/

In 2016, 2017 there are records of 23% year on year increase in rapes and

Foreign nationals (are) accounting for 27 per cent of all rape suspects (while) the identity of the suspect remains unknown in over a quarter of the rapes ....

http://www.helsinkitimes.fi/finland/finland-news/domestic/14920-finnish-police-record-23-year-on-year-increase-in-rape-reports.html

2018 stats show that crime in general is going down in Finland, except for in the area of aggravated assault and rape.

The overall crime rate in the first nine months of 2017 was down 6.1% compared to the same period in 2016, including a reduction in property crimes (9.7%), assault (1.4%), motor vehicle theft/unauthorized use (8.1%), and fraud (9.3%). Other areas of crime showed an increase from 2016, including aggravated assault (8.7%), rape (10.7%), and robberies (2.5%). Hate crimes in 2016 were down 14% from 2015 numbers.

Landing a load of refugees onto a small village in rural ireland just is plain daft.
Dafter still as the hotel hasn't been open for years.
The local school will be put under huge pressure, there are no facilities for people in the village

I wonder what well connected business person bought this hotel and hey presto they get a contract for this?

They did the same in Ballaghaderreen

Absolutely horrendous how, one who I assume to be an adult, could so frivolously joke about the increase of sexual assaults carried out by migrants;

Not a billion no, but 1200 women were sexually assaulted by over 2000 migrants in one night... but you find this hilarious.

Yep, laughing my head off at you and your ilk who are constantly spreading fearmongering on these threads, keep it up lads you really do bring a smile to my face with the sh/te you post.

And of course all Irish emigrants are staunch fundamental members of the Irish Republican Army, alcoholic incestuous child molesters.

Excuse me while I fetch my paramilitary black beret cap outta my 1960/70/80 suitcase.

Would you like to point out what part of my post is "sh/te" or would you prefer to obfuscate the discussion by posting frivolous nonsense?

you and your ilk.

I do also find it somewhat humorous that you and three other posters on this forum use this exact line in every discussion as an infantile means of discrediting posters, I'm not part of any ilk, I'm simply a poster who drives apologists for sexual abuse, homophobia, and misogyny such as you absolutely potty because you cannot argue the facts.

Your whole posting history is blatantly racist fearmongering sh/te.

So no attempt to discredit me? This is all just pointless, you let your mask slip in a previous thread when you went off on a pathetic little homophobic tirade.

Interesting comment from the Finnish President:

It’s unbearable that some who have sought asylum from us, and even received an asylum, have brought evil to us and created insecurity.......

We need an open and factual discussion and decisions that are weighted thoroughly.

Try to do that in Ireland and you will have the liberals and Sinn Fein raving about how racist we all are just to ask about having a factual discussion. And of course, RTE would not allow it to happen anyway, as they control the one-sided narrative on these types of social discussions.

At the risk of looking like an absolute tit who makes false claims and snipes as a means to discredit posters when the cold hard facts are presented to them, ie, a dimwit, would you like to instead quote one racist statement which I have made on any thread? Won't be hard as according to you my entire post history consists of nothing but.

I get the sense that the asylum business will become the new "homelessness" industry. Many, many people will get very rich from it; irrespective of the cost to society or to genuine asylum seekers themselves.

This should be called what it is at this point - domestic terrorism.

I see we have the usual pro-open-borders supporters on here making fun of the issues that other countries have with asylum seeker integration and their adjustment to western norms e.g. respect for women etc.

Which posters are these by the way? I keep hearing about all these pro open borders posters on AH but only remember seeing 1 or 2 people ever call for it?

I could very well be wrong and have missed several posters in this thread calling for such a thing (either here or in the past) but would appreciate if you could point them out to me.

What reason do they have for not wanting asylum seekers?

Because of course they are all rapists.

Every single one. :rolleyes:

I'm surprised Boards' resident racist isn't here yet, early doors though.
