Has anyone here actually had a work related problem with immigration personnally
Not being able to get a job (and I mean before the recession).
I know so many businesses that only hire foreigners (particularly foreign women). Mind you, the management of these same companies tend to be Irish (and predominantly male).
Dey tuk ur jabs
Edit: but then again, the OP was about immigration from Africa. I haven't seen all that many African immigrants working (particularly African men) - but then again that generates the whole issue of welfare (which in my opinion is no real short-term concern of ours).
Actually, come to think of it, in the last job that I had (temporary work where about 200 people were hired) only around 60 people were Irish (this was a few months ago).0 -

The job I have, out of 100 odd employees, there are 16 Irish.:(0 -
Boycott them.
I would in all likelihood starve if I took that course of action.
Not that that would affect their business in any meaningful fashion (who would starve with me?)
And besides which, I don't think the buck stops with such businesses (even if their hiring practices are technically illegal) but rather, the government. But hell, what party will ever even mention immigration in their manifestos, let alone do anything about it (laissez faire all the way - far too hot a potato to be worth handling - if I was a politician I certainly would do nothing)0 -

The unofficial term would be culchie.
Most people from the other cities would use that term for the people from rural areas. Inhabitants of Cork City would not regard themselves as being culchies by any means. After all, they actually live in a City whereas large chunks of the population of the Dublin Region don't as they live in DLR, South Dublin and Fingal which of course are not part of Dublin City at all.

I most certainly do not. I am an Irish man, I share citizenship with my fellow kin. To call me anything other than an Irish man is a grave insult.
I hate to break it to you but you most certainly are an EU citizen as well as being an Irish citizen. All Irish citizens are EU citizens (You can't be an Irish citizen without being an EU citizen). Hence, you also share citizenship with all other EU citizens. They all are our "fellow kin" as well.
To paraphrase Woody Guthrie's song, "This land (the EU) was made for you and me..."
PS Relevant Treaty that introduced the concept was the Treaty on European Union (Maastricht). Approved of course in a referendum by your fellow Irish citizens.0 -
