    Appoligies if this Sounds racist, But Maybe your noticing the "blacker" Foreign People.

    Like, In Leixlip, where i live, there is a High amount of Foreign people here (HP and Intel are the cause of the influx) But i wouldnt really notice it more then any other part of the country.


    What i find hillarious is Irish People complaining about people traveling for work, Being the nation that practically built America and The UK.

    Congrats on joining Boards Dave and posting your first message.

    Why do you ask this question?

    Far more than that, about 10% of the population is foreign born. Your post
    reads like you just spotted this. Or is this the start of a gradually winding up troll thread?

    how did you come up with your figure.

    I saw two chinese fellahs, a darkish guy with a beard, multiplied that by 'Invasion!!!' and then typed Our Way Of Life Is Under Shariah Threat From Muslim Horde.

    True even more so if it was in AH.
    Anyway here or not, it won't go anywhere advantageous to fellow posters or the forum.
