    Because of course they are all rapists.

    Every single one. :rolleyes:

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

    The same reason as the residents of Donnybrook and Sandymount dont want asylum seekers on their doorstep. Most residents who have put a lot of money into their property dont want anything near them that will devalue it and hordes of unemployed myogynisitc young men hanging around makes people fearful and this leads to people wanting to move elsewhere so eventually enough bring in enough asylum seekers and you have a ghetto.

    I see the Muslim man who was caught trying to sneak out of Syria with women and children wants to come back here. He said Ireland is his country, well forget about that khalid or whatever your name is, your citizenship is being revoked as we speak so you can stay in whatever ****hole you find yourself in now.

    Ireland does not want you back.

    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.

    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.

    Usually it is Sinn Fein posters advocating for their party's policy of open borders for all, or people with skin in the game .... like NGO staff reliant on a booming migrant/refugee business.

    @Tretorn,

    The media that are reporting on this would have a total conniption if asylum seekers were to be placed anywhere near them. Just like they comment on Travellers, but will never have to live beside them.

    No one calls them out on that though.

    I actually do not blame small communities or any community for that matter who have not not been informed about an influx of AS.

    Follow the money is right, but it ain't going to the residents of these places. I don't blame them TBH.

    There will never be a Traveller site nor an asylum seeker venue in high end areas. Sorry. That is the reality, and it has to be challenged.

    We opened our doors to the likes of the man captured in Syria last week. We probably gave him a social housing and unemployment benefit and he began to hang around with radicals and the next thing he is in Syria. Of course he didnt do anything bad in Syria, no one caught has done anything bad, they all just drove other people around, only a fool would believe that.

    We need to make sure this toerag never sets foot in this country again, who does he think he is demanding to be sent back here. This was never "his" country, he may have got residency rights thanks to woolly liberals but the Irish Government can cancel all these right and tough luck if this makes him Stateless. He is busy pulling the mental health card too, he obviously thinks that will help his cause.

    We dont know the history of anyone arriving here so rural dwellers do need to be careful who is landed among them. You can bet your life the people deciding where asylum seekers go will pick anywhere but where they and their relatives live and placing them where there are very few people to object makes the bureaucrats job easier, its just not right.

    I am watching the six o clock news on the +1 channell and a woman saying that DP system must end and the people be allowed to live and work and be part of the community.......... But also they shouldnt be sent to Roscommon.


    Also admits she doesn't have all the answers.

    Cool, cool...........


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,800 ✭✭✭tretorn


    Of course he doesnt.

    Look at Pat Kenny and the fuss he kicked up over a few apartments being built near him.

    Would he be happy if the Government compulsorily acquired that site for social housing for travellers.

    Why didnt the Government acquire that land mass at RTE, that site belongs to the people of Ireland because we fund RTE through the tV licence. It was the perfect place for high density public housing suitable for single men, travellers and asylum seekers.

    Can you imagine the reaction of the Judges, Consultants, and Politicans who have bought in Donnybrook. The thoughts of their children travelling to their private schools and having to sit beside an asylum seeker. Nah, never going to happen, lets find some backward rural spot with no facilities and only a handful of locals to protest, the liberals in Donnybrook will tut tut from the safety of Dublin 4.

    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.

    No response to all the points, sorry facts that snake posted, what a surprise timberr.
    Stick up something like - they ate our swans, n odhinn can chip in with something hilarious like they only ate the white ones.
    U cant argue with the facts, so keep posting crap like that... Again!

    Of course they aren't, don't think anyone is suggesting that.

    But (assuminng) many if not all the folks in these facilities are young Muslim men (which is typically the case with non-EU refugee/illegal economic migration), then you have to consider some cold facts:

    E.g. In Eng & Wales a certain group which follow a certain religion are x3 more likely to be behind bars than the average Joe (2016 figures).

    Specifcally 12% of males in prison convicted of rape are Muslims in Eng & Wales (Mar 2014), again averaging triple of the representative population.

    Then just today - the UK gov actually announced Taxi and private hire drivers could have to pass enhanced criminal ... Under the proposals, every council in England would be told to carry out detailed checks, this is in order to stop the rise/phenomenon of grooming gangs.

    Specifcally these gangs are Pakistani-muslim men, (so may not be as relevant to this case) they primarily use minicabs to source and distribute their prey, aided by drink and drugs.

    I assume you and your new friend there are referring to me?

    No, I don't live in a' high end' area I'm currently living a couple mile outside of Ballaghadereen with my parents for the time being, you might have heard of it(it ain't Dalkey that's for sure); y'know, lots of dirty Syrians are living there.

    No trouble from them, they just want to move on and make a life for themselves , locals pretty welcoming.

    I lost a bank card on the street a month ago and two Syrian lads handed it into the local post office there I was told.

    The gall of them eh? :rolleyes:

    I believe that comments like these is what the President of Finland was talking about when he said: "We need an open and factual discussion and decisions that are weighted thoroughly."

    Nobody on here said the burning of the building was justified.
    Nobody on here said that all Syrians are scum.
    And nobody on here said that all Syrians are rapists.

    Posters who make these comments cannot be taken seriously about anything else they say on the topic. They are being disingenuous and using a weak debating deflection mechanism.

    That was just bizarre,a representative of Roscommon against Racism, well she destroyed that for sure. She said several times the governement need to deal with AS in a humane way. She was asked where do you think they should be relocated to ?
    Answer " I don`t have the answers "
    Whatever the rights or wrongs of the issue, you simply can`t empty 80 AS into Rooskey, a village of 300, petrol station closed, hotel closed,garda station closed, bacon factory closed,1 shop, 1 church, couple of pubs open sometimes. There is simply no facilities for them. What would they do all day and night


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,003 ✭✭✭✭Spanish Eyes


    You can all talk away, the reality is, there will NEVER be either a Traveller settlement or an Asylum seeker place in so called high end areas of Dublin. EVER.

    Oh sorry there was a Traveller place in SCD. We all know how that ended up with due respect to those who passed away.

    Didn't hear too much about the residents close by who chose to STOP a temporary halting site beside their houses after that tragedy though. That would be because they are not in lower end areas. Correct?

    Parents live in a relatively nice location, direct provision center has been there just under twenty years at this stage. Those living there have never caused any trouble and get on pretty well with the locals. You guys would likely think the area is a no go zone of some kind...

    Is it really true that no one wants Asylum seekers just the same as they do not want Travellers on their doorsteps?

    Why would that be now I wonder?

    (Places in high end areas of Dublin and elsewhere of course, are immune).

    Has it been established that the reason for the attack is anything to do with the plan to place asylum seekers there? Could there be a purely local motive, maybe to do with the ownership of the place?

    There was an asylum seekers centre in killiney in the past.
    Also, there are traveller halting sites in, blackrock, dun laoghaire, cabinteely, foxrock, rathmichael, Shankill, just to name a few in south county Dublin.

    I don't believe a local did it at all, by local I mean ordinary John or Mary from Rooskey itself. Arson is just not something your average person would do ever. I'd say it's more likely some sort of roving vigilante type group that are keeping their eye on where AS/migrants are being put in many locations around Ireland.

    You find it so hard to believe that locals in a really rural village of 300ppl are against 80 migrants (plus all the kids they'll have) been located in the village, yet you've no problem believing some "roving vigilante group" traveling around the country burning out places they are due to stay, yet only picked this one?

    Arson is disgraceful behaviour. I can however feel the frustration of locals. It's absolute madness to locate something like that in this location. Such a small town. What will these people do in a place like this? It's a disaster waiting to happen. These direct provision centres need to be located in larger population centres to give them a better chance to integrate into the community and better understand our culture.

    Please stop with this nonsense.

    If asylum seekers are Muslim they won’t integrate here. How as a woman can you integrate with Irish people if you can’t be in male company without a chaperone. How can you integrate with other women if you are covered head to toe with just your eyes visible.

    Muslims have lived in great numbers in France and the UK for decades, these two countries have suffered the most from terrorism, France in particular is destroyed and Germany will be the same in two decades.

    Yeah. I don't think Rooskey is a good fit for those 80 AS and I'm sure the people there wouldn't be very pleased about it based on very valid concerns but yeah I don't think most ordinary people would commit arson. Is that so hard to believe.
