Stick up the South Park episode there too, theres a good man. These people got leave to remain against the wishes of the majority of the Irish people. 80% of the electorate voted against this loophole. It was undemocratic to let them stay.

Its slang, similar to the term "blacks in the jacks". Nothing racist about that what so ever.

You're singling out a group by their skin colour in a diminutive fashion, in a post that casts aspersions on the manner of their arrival in the country, states they were treated more favourably than locals, following it up with a post or two complaining about them being allowed stay in the country. So yes, its racist.

What shyte goes on in Nigeria? A large proportion of the IBC scheme claimants were failed Nigerian asylum seekers.

What industry do you work in? I am sure there are millions of people in the third world who can do your job for a fraction of the wages. Especially if the state subsidised them in the form of welfare and rent allowances.

No, it was to stop them from coming in, claiming asylum, then giving birth, dropping their asylum claim and then been given leave to remain under the Irish Born Child scheme.

Thank Jebus we closed that loophole.

Without generalizing about all Nigerians, here are three significant reasons why the Nigerian community in Ireland has a poor reputation.

1. Unemployment and welfare dependency. At the time of the last census, taken at the height of an economic boom in 2006, the national unemployment rate was 4.3 percent. The unemployment rate for Nigerian nationals was 31 percent. Only 38 percent of working-age Nigerians were actually working. More than 18 percent of Nigerians were claiming rent subsidies—compared to 1.5 percent of Poles.
2. Welfare and immigration fraud. A joint operation by the Gardaí, the Department of Social and Family Affairs, the Immigration Agency, and the Police Service of Northern Ireland—codenamed "Operation Gull"—has found that Nigerians are "by far the largest single national group" involved in various immigration and social welfare scams to obtain benefits fraudulently.
3. Bogus asylum applications. Nigerians constitute 25 percent of all asylum applicants to Ireland, even though Nigeria is a democratic country 5,000 km away that is not at war. Our courts recognize only 0.1 percent of Nigerian asylum seekers as refugees, an approval rate that is tiny when compared to other national groups (44 percent of Iraqis and 40 percent of Sudanese are approved, for instance). But Nigerian asylum seekers have wasted hundreds of millions of euros' worth of Irish taxpayers' money to pursue patently ridiculous claims—often based on "persecution" from voodoo curses, occult witch-doctors, and the like—through the Refugee Appeals Tribunal and the High Court. Some "asylum seekers" have actually been discovered sneaking home via the UK to visit friends and relatives, while claiming to the Irish courts that they fled Nigeria in fear of their lives.

A Nigerian solicitor, now admitted to the Roll of Solicitors in Ireland, and working in a practice in Tallaght, stated in an interview in the Law Society Gazette of April 2006 that he claimed asylum seeker status to gain entry to Ireland, not because he was on the run from anybody, but simply because here there is a "better life".

He continued: "It's just a platform to enter the country".

"1. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Constitution, a person born in the island of Ireland, which includes its islands and seas, who does not have, at the time of the birth of that person, at least one parent who is an Irish citizen or entitled to be an Irish citizen, is not entitled to Irish citizenship or nationality, unless provided for by law. 2. This section shall not apply to persons born before the date of the enactment of this section."


so the democratic wish of the people (btw 80% of the electorate didn't approve this, 79% of 51% of the electorate who voted approved this) wasn't that they all be rounded up and sent home.

and if you're representative of the type of person who voted for this amendment it's pretty sure they voted for ulterior reasons.

hence why the Phoenix Nights clip is quite apt.

After your previous posts, do you really think im going im going to read that?

I dont care if they are on the social welfare, many of them will clean toilets, shine your boots, etc,

Will you work in a toilet?

that he claimed asylum seeker status to gain entry to Ireland, not because he was on the run from anybody, but simply because here there is a "better life".

Because No Irish person has EVER in the history of immigration, ever done this!!!!!

Congrats: Well handled Thread:).

About time somebody told the truth. Then again you have the do-Gooders that know [EMAIL="f@ck"]f@ck[/EMAIL] all coming on and posting [EMAIL="R@ubbish"]Rubbish[/EMAIL] later.

Yes I am an ex taxi man. I make more money on the dole now than when I was a fulltime taxi driver.


I queried and applied for the BTW scheme before I started, The social welfare said the buying of your taxi plate, car, and licence , was paid for by the welfare " FOR NON EU NATIONALS ONLY".

So free rent allowance 75% of your welfare for the first year then 50 percent for the next 3 years while driving your "Free" taxi. Also just slipped my mind, after 3 years most availing of the scheme go on disability and drive at the same time. Fact.

Just wondering.

The vast majority of non EU taxi drivers of african origin are former asylum seekers. They got leave to remain under the Irish Born Child Scheme. Those who applied for the IBC scheme were offered courses and encouraged by the state and the various number of state funded immigrant agencies to avail of schemes run by the Dept of Social Welfare. Better to have them driving a cab than availing of the dole. Which under the scheme, they were entitled to as much as any Irish citizen.

The most widely used scheme was the Back To Work and Education Scheme, which includes grants from local welfare partnership to become self employed while retaining gradually lowered social welfare benefits over a five year period. Additional payments such as rent allowance are not affected and the recipient will continue to recieve these benefits regardless of income.

Over 90% of applications for the Back to Work and Education scheme were relating to the purchase of taxi licences and motors.The system is stacked in favour of the BTWE recepient as he is in receipt of welfare, rent allowance and paying no tax, whilst his competitor is paying full tax and trying to run a household on his deflated wages.

Thats why we have vast throngs of non EU citizens driving taxis on our streets.

Can someone tell me where all these black taxi drivers are? I get about 6 to 8 taxis a month and in the last three years have had two black drivers (both of whom have been every bit as efficient and courteous as their Irish peers, not that that says much)
