    Having you been ringing and checking up or something? :pac: So what? Even if what you're saying is right and a few have pulled a fast one, does that mean that we should just shut the borders to anyone not wearing a paddy cap and eating a breakfast roll?

    We should welcome our european brothers and sisters with open arms. Everyone else, be highly skilled or get the boat.

    They are either highly skilled, students who are paying serious money to be here or else they are asylum seekers who have essentially won the lottery and had their applications accepted. There is no other legal way into Ireland. Also worth noting that the government is actively encouraging foreign students into the country.

    The language schools are an issue alright.
    Hundreds and hundreds of quangos in Ireland but nobody solved this problem

    Some schools don't even exist, just an office and an address
    A Chinese man who bribed a former Department of Justice employee to issue visa extensions to immigrant students in a "highly lucrative scam" has been jailed for two and a half years at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court.

    Bin Yang (aged 26) referred Chinese students who had come to Ireland to study English but didn’t met the conditions for a visa extension to Dara Revins (aged 28), who worked in the Garda Immigration Bureau.

    Yang, of Belton Park Gardens, Donnycarney, received up to €4,000 from the students for putting them in touch with Revins. Revins, of Windmill Road, Crumlin, would give them the extension and was paid up to €1,500 by Yang for each student.

    One out of three are bogus
    UP to 10,000 foreign nationals are working here illegally after entering the country on bogus student visas, the Irish Independent has learned.

    They represent almost one in three of the students who come here from outside the EU.

    The extent of the bogus student scam was revealed last night by Justice Minister Dermot Ahern as the Government prepared to tighten up the legislation on rogue colleges and students abusing the educational system.

    The investigation reveals:

    One college, which was under investigation in Dublin city, was found to have had no desks, blackboards, books or papers, when inspectors called there. Officials had difficulty gaining access there and after their visit reported back that it was effectively being used as residential accommodation.
    Another college, with two branches in Dublin, had no students in attendance on two separate visits by inspectors.
    In a third college in Cork where 70 students were registered, there was none present when inspectors called on one occasion and only eight students on another visit.
    Evidence uncovered by the Departments of Justice and Education has already resulted in garda investigations into a number of suspected colleges.

    If you glance through Garda missing persons list it's dominated by Chinese type names
    http://www.garda.ie/MissingPersons/Default.aspx

    My guess is they stayed on after their student visa expired, either here or more likely working in the UK

    Since Ireland has become a multicultural society I have met a few non nationals who would like to have their birth country celebrated on a particular day like St-Patricks day or as we also have Aistralia day here in certain bars.
    Should we officially recognise Polish day in Ireland or Nigeria day or Bastille day.
    It would be a good excuse for them to come together and spend money in the economy also recognising their culture.

    No. They can celebrate it among themselves if they want but otherwise they can f*ck off

    Let them celebrate themselves. I dont see why anyone should celebrate a country that they have no connection to or with.

    You labelled them all as "New Irish" beforehand, thus ignoring their true nationality.

    Tell a Pole that he is no longer Polish and is in fact "New Irish" and report back here after.:cool:

    Those of the now thousands that have been granted Irish Citizenship are New Irish, 4,000 in one day earlier this year, from all parts of the world, it was a wonderful occassion.

    http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/breaking/2012/0614/breaking50.html

    “The history of this State is now your history and the narrative of your life is now part of our history.” With these words Minister for Justice Alan Shatter welcomed Ireland’s newest citizens at one of four citizenship ceremonies, which are being held in the Convention Centre, Dublin over the course of today.

    By the day’s end, 4,000 people from 110 countries will have been sworn as Irish citizens having made a declaration of loyalty to the nation and fidelity to the State as well as undertaking to faithfully observe the laws of the State and respect its democratic values.

    “I wish to congratulate you, one and all, on becoming our newest Irish Citizens – we welcome you to our national family,” Mr Shatter told one group of new citizens after they had made their declaration.

    In his speech, Mr Shatter said Ireland was enriched by the presence of these new citizens. “You have come to our country and have chosen to live among us. Some of you have been waiting a considerable time for this day to arrive. Today, we welcome you to our nation as its newest citizens and we hope that you will continue to contribute to our communities, to our neighbourhood and to our society.

    “As a people we have been enriched by your presence and in making you citizens of our ancient and proud land we are acknowledging that contribution,” Mr Shatter said.
