    You just need to look at the statistics of rising prison incarcerations, examples from woke countries like Sweden, where they ignored infractions from migrants and now it is the rape capital of Europe.

    The new generation are learning how us Irish were terrible slave masters and how racist we were in the past with no diversity in Ireland.

    That's a lovely story.

    I dont agree with that. Like everywhere else there will be freeloaders. Some Irish emigrants to other countries were no better. Just check out the results of the Young Scientist competition every year. Category after category will include the "new Irish" names. End of year school awards in the provincial newspapers again show kids of immigrants topping their class. Immigrants kids involved in music, sports clubs, arts, culture. Their parents maybe here and in many cases working in run of the mill jobs but they are making sure the kids are taking advantage of the opportunities available. When it comes to crime our own lads are top of the league. As for the Gardai its only a matter of time before there is an increase in ethnicity in the ranks as the kids move on in age and start applying.
    I wouldn't be in favour of special quotas as thats only tokenism. If the applicant goes through the Irish education system they will have as good any chance as any.

    incompetant neighbour well happens,as for large crowd maybe 7 or 8 of them die with covid
    only their own stupidity to blame.
    seems no harm done so a little give and take at seasonal events needed

    I though that it was funny. Driving around the fireworks.

    Where to be begin? Those Young Scientist are all coached or done for by the parents.
    As for Irish Criminal, yup they are tops in their own leagues but why we have to import anyone elses is beyond me. The Tokenism is alive in the Irish system its called the HEAR system.

    Fairly positive. They have a tough job and are underfunded and understaffed.

    The job is tough, like many other jobs. But they are neither under funded nor understaffed.

    you will never hear any sector of the public sector claim that they are sufficiently funded or sufficiently staffed , when Liam Doran was the head union chief for the Nurses , he was forever asking for more of both and pleading poverty on behalf of those he represented

    he had his own dressing room in RTE which also helped

    For me its anecdotally its about 90/10. most are decent salt of the earth but i have come across the power trip element that cannot resist being a prick.

    these are usually the less experienced in fairness.
