    Which is locking people up in a prison type system. Why do asylum seekers have to be locked way from Irish people? Why do you want to create a massive ghetto in Meath?

    The people currently in Mosney are not locked up. :rolleyes:

    1800 in ten years ,

    7500 + not deported but 60,000 have been through dp now we have some the highest refusal rates yet very few deportations .

    Seems like this lie isn't going away

    Anyone know who it is thats says yay or nay to the asylum seekers when they present their case?
    Rejection rates used to be 90 odd% n are now 70 odd % iirc.
    There was a fella on lmfm local radio interviewed a couple of years ago that used to sit on the panel. He more or less said he was replaced due to his low spoofer threshold and one of the refugee quangos picked a more suitable (for them!) replacement.

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    So basically you are making fake news and spreading it as far right propaganda

    On page 5 the Minister for Justice states that the average person granted asylum here requests family reunification for 20 relative and the largest request has been for 70. Oxfam refutes that, but then they would, they need that taxpayer funded NGO money. A long time ago a different Minister for Justice stated that the vast majority of asylum seekers are spoofers who should be stopped at the airport.

    Your link does not prove that 1 person was granted leave to be reunited with 70 family members. You are clearly spreading fake news.

    They have to wait 9 months before they can apply for permission to work. Then they have to wait for permission to be granted. Then that permission is only granted for 6 months before they have to apply for further permission. Why do people not know these things?

    The stats haven’t really changed. The 70% aberration is on account of a glut of Syrian refugees who were essentially all accepted. The ratio of successful claims outside the Syrians remains around 10%. The claims are assessed by international protection officers - who’s role is to investigate the evidence presented by the claimants with the situation in their home country. Given the low ratio of successful claims, it’s rather unlikely your fella would be replaced due to his level of rejections.

    You get that asylum seekers are not all necessarily impoverished? They can have savings to use for buying and running a car? And there are 600 asylum seekers in Mosney. Most clearly do not have cars.

    So you got a link but you don’t like the link and you want another link. Now you say that the protest group are lying and I’m lying.
    You sarcastically suggested that I wouldn’t like to be referred to as a bull****ter but now I am the passive aggressive person.
    All of the protestors in all of the towns and all of their supporters have been brainwashed by right wing propoganda including the Nigerian woman who was an asylum seeker herself but who is to the forefront of the protest.
    Hmmm. I see.....

    No. You provided a link which stated a group of people are claiming the same thing you are claiming. I asked you for a link to verify that claim. Do you see the difference. Now, can you verify your claim or not? As I have already said I’ll gladly accept it if you can.

    Racism is now hiding behind the cloak of Community activism.

    So why are we the taxpayer paying hundreds of millions for housing and tens of millions on free legal aid ,if these migrants /asylum seekers can afford to pay there own way ??

    Because there’s a difference between a minority being able to afford to run a car for their family, and being able to pay for legal services. Legal aid is means tested for asylum seekers, just as it is for everyone else. If there’s asylum seekers who have plenty of money, they can opt to accommodate themselves.

    AS are perfectly free to leave DP any time they like.

    They initially have to wait for their decision.

    After that, they choose to appeal, and appeal, and so must stay in DP.

    He was responding to a suggestion that Mosney be expanded and have security around it. Which sounds pretty much like a prison.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,847 ✭✭✭✭Beechwoodspark


    Ppl are focusing on the security aspect

    There should be some level of security in a facility housing minors and vulnerable ppl.

    Leave that as a given to one side. The advantage of having a centralized asylum centre is you can scale up the facilities education healthcare integration courses etc. and it’s a one stop shop. It’s a win win for the asylum seekers and also the centres around the country can be closed down and converted into accommodation for ppl on the long term housing list

    Of course he doesn’t. There’s 730 residents in Mosney, and on any given day there’s about 80 cars in the car park - including those owned by the staff. Some asylum seekers there do have cars.

    A foreign/international driving licence will suffice legally for a year’s driving, and less legally, for the remainder of the time spent in DP.

    There is plenty of evidence of asylum scammers and even legitimate fugees engaging in anti-social behaviour, arson, and even sexual assault. Please use your virtue signalling to also pretend to care about the innocents harmed by these acts.

    All asylum seekers with deportation orders leave the country - the only exception being those who receive a ministerial order of protection - very rare. The vast majority leave the country without a need for enforcement, the notion that the only deportees are those who’s order requires enforcement is bizarre, to say the least.

    Yeah this should not be happening. We safeguard genuine cases while the conflict goes on, but they should be returning home to rebuild once it's over. Why is 'caught up in a war 10 years ago' suddenly better than 'Masters Graduate' for permission to be in a foreign country? Having a great education and skillset has you down at immigration renewing every year but fleeing war gets you lifetime access? Nonsensical.

    lmfao more deflecting. I'm extremely progressive and moderate leaning mate I just don't accept scammers who endanger innocents. And it shouldn't be easier for scammers with nothing to offer to live in their country of choice than people who have worked all their lives.

    Don't think many far righters are particularly keen on taking in genuine cases like Syrians/Rohynghia, you might wanna read my posts until you understand them fully...

    There is no far right in Ireland. It's a childish bogeyman used by the left to legitimise their own policies.

    Evidence: every single election since the foundation of the state. Even mild, economic right wing parties struggle for any support (PDs, Renua).

    Completely incorrect, in fact from what I'm seeing, this website is riddled with them and is probably their primary stomping ground.

    Related breaking news;


    Will be interested to see where these individuals hailed from, and if the driver is actually guilty of anything or is just being thrown under the bus. Coming from Bulgaria rather than a more southernly direction makes me think they might be Syrians, very unfortunate if so.
