Welcome to our 4000 new citizens

Sappa

With our disappointing Irish soccer results,let us hope this new gene pool can provide some decent sport stars for the future.
At least people still want to come and live here and we are increasing our population.

Feckin' Greeks!

We need more pacific islanders for our rugby team.

Imagine Usuain Bolt as wingback on the Tipp football team
He's be a brilliant footballer, fast, tall and powerful

More of these citizens please, has Usain got any brothers?

I thought the good sports stars were the offspring of our emigrants who develop in good sporting countries and can them claim to be Irish...

Nothingbetter2d

can any of them play soccer? it seems our current team need to be replaced

We need more black guys.


There I said it.

The excerpts from the speech are pretty much identical to the speech I heard when I got my citizenship a few months ago. Funny stuff...

We'll be playing samba soccer soon enough if the Brazilians around Gort are going to stay.

Probably not, what with the Irish so good at staying at home and developing their own country and society and not f€cking off to another country at the first sign of trouble.

We have two naturalised citizens on our Olympic team: Sanita Puspure, formerly of Latvia, and Andrzej Jezierski, formerly of Poland.

Edited to clarify: they are not part of this group of new citizens.

If they don't win anything, the Indo will have them down as Latvian and Polish, and there will be no mention of them representing Ireland.

And the retards who lap up that drivel will believe it.

The Polish/Irish fella is in the kayaking I think and has a good shot at the medals.

It's actually gone the other way since my friends decided that as a "celebration", they would put some coddle and guinness in a blender and give it to me to drink while I was pissed. The memories of the morning after are not pleasant.

Is becoming a naturalised citizen a flag of convenience for their sport ala some of the footballers, they may not get selected for their countries of origin but can get selected for Ireland?

I don't know about those 2 in particular but I know some who have done it because they can't make the team in their own countries.

There I said it.

Ya because if you are black you must be good at sport, what’s your view on black people in gangs, committing crime or low levels of third level participation in education or are "positive" generalisation the only accurate ones.

That would certainly win us international acclaim, and not a waste of talent in the slightest. Olympic shmympics.

:eek: The bastards! Never mind the overly woozy hangover the farts must have been appalling. Congrats on the citizenship thing though.

What do you have to do to get Irish Citizenship?
I know that the States and England have an Exam that you have to pass to get it. Is it the same for Ireland? (As in is it an exam, not is it the same exam)

Dyr

I hope they are'nt immediately burdened with self loathing and an inferiority complex as soon as the passport office confirms that they are who they claim to be and issue them with irish passports.

Seems to be a common problem

Don't be so silly. Anyway my opinion is they should all be minced up into burgers and fed to the homeless.

Well, not these two. They are naturalised citizens. This means they are living and working here.

I have it on good authority that Gort is full of Brazilians, I don't think there's any Irish left there at all so it could spell good things for the future.

If you are going to start with this "gene pool" bollix I suggest you look at their photographs.

Not exactly lookers there, pal.

We shall see if the Passport Office will issue them passports. Thousands of "new Irish" still waiting for passports as the office does not believe them to be who they say they are.

:pac:

Have you actually asked the two Olympians in question what nationality they see themselves as, or are you just regurgitating pc nonsense ?

Beauty, like ugliness, is often in the eye of the beholder. They might not be that impressed with a picture of you - or you ma - either.:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Yeah? Well I ain't being held up as an improvement of a foreign nations gene pool.

I suggest you retract the "or you ma" remark. Have some respect.

Aren't you the english lad who stated that he hoped Irish soccer supporters get "smashed" up by Polish hooligans over at the euros?

Let that hatred out, pal.

Yeah, kind of the way the Brits referred to Barry McGuigan, when he won he was British and when he lost he was Irish.

Those three Africans in that photo look as happy as lottery winners. Oh, wait.

Where were all these Ireland lovers in the early 90s when we had crap dole payments?

Its amazing that tens of thousands of Ireland lovers crept out of the woodwork as soon as things picked up a bit.

What a coincidence.

In fairness, McGuigan, who was not gifted with intelligence even on his best days, became a British citizen to advance his career. The same cannot be said for the vast, vast majority of other Irish people whom the British media claim as British. I think it was Brenda Fricker who famously responded something like 'If I were lying drunk in Heathrow Airport, I'd be called Irish but when I win an Oscar they call me British".

Well seeing as 1990 was 20 years ago I'd imagine they may well have been in school.
