    This is what.....been a member of the EU is about.
    We have signed up to this agreement.
    We are committed to take in our share of refugees.
    The way some people are going on here you would swear Ireland is the only country they're going to.
    It's one if the main reasons Britain voted to leave the EU.
    Down tru the years all the benefits we have received from the EU to get our country out of the crap it was in ...well now it's payback time.
    Did ye actually think it was all going to be for FREE ???

    Payback. Payback all the monies with interest.

    "No facilities, no amenities, nothing constructive for these poor people to do. What are they going to do all day, wander the streets, a recipe for disaster. Nothing to gain for anyone...."

    If theres nothing for the refugees to do then I doubt it will be flocking with tourists if the hotel was running normaly. Atleast its been used for a worthy cause

    Aren't they safe as refugees are claim they need. Oh wait they were safe in the first country they entered. The funny thing is if they came out and said I'm an economic refugee I'm here for moneies. I'd say stay. How refreshing.

    There has been a lot of talk recently about Europe having a European Army and even becoming an Empire, here is Verhofstadt asking for EU countries to give up their sovereign power to a EU controlled super state;


    At least we have a say now but if Europe is heading that way we wont be given say as we will only be a small cog of a bigger machine, It is something to be concerned about IMO.

    Exactly so. And it will increase facilities and trade in the town. A good business move on the part of the hotel owner

    Over and out from me on this.... it is a settled matter

    Well no, there's still the point you raised earlier - that we asked for proof (all the Irish abroad are on welfare, still waiting for that if we may respectfully ask ?

    There is no such thing as a free lunch of course.

    Sadly the Irish, on the whole, are economically illiterate.
    They have given away the milkcow of sovereignty in exchange for the magic beans of PPP roads and sheep grants.

    I don't trust lazy civil servants or lazy gardai to properly vet asylum seekers. We could have Al Queda sleeper cells all over the place

    The war in Syria

    Nothing to do with Syria. Those migrants for Wicklow are coming from Nigeria, DRC, and some other African state.

    The op was right, 'economic' tourists.
    One of them in direct provision is from Malawi, one of the safest countries in Africa. She tours around the place with her pop up shops and all the while attending cookery school junkets. When is she to be deported?? No nerve gas ever came her way.

    Same in Roosky, Co. Leitrim. Another FG deal according to Roscommon People last week.

    Wasn't Lisdoonvarna deal an FG connection too? Brother of somebody.

    If only we had a free press that could investigate this trend!

    Sadly the other parties are just a bad if not worse. They'd tattoo a union jack or euro flagon their foreheads if it meant personal gain.

    Read one of the Sunday Times papers recently. Also contains a very large photo of said lady with a basket of fresh garden herbs. Shouldn't be too hard for you to find. You probably don't believe there are any economic tourists in the country with vexatious asylum claims on their umpteenth appeal.

    It's about time we started to help and take a share. To-date we have certainly been extremely shy.

    Sad to see so much begrudgery.

    I must have missed the lead story on the Six One about literally every single Irish person being housed, fed and watered.

    Why? By accident of birth - refugees qualify for refuge

    So is Shannon Key West Hotel in Rooskey open and accepting guests?
