    I know this has been asked already but I don't know if it's been answered but what part of our culture is being eroded?

    You won't get an answer to this, you will see it spouted a lot but for some reason they never follow up with an answer when asked.

    The comments section is brilliant! They should track down some of them and have them committed:pac:

    "There's too many indians. It's like they're in europe."

    That's High Street big-brand capitalism as she is goodly spoke, not immigration. I was at Mass yesterday (I pop along semi-regular to keep them on their toes and see who's dead around the place... :D) and it hasn't changed for 40 years, aside from a good sprinkle of Asian and Eastern European folk there.

    So that non answer is supposed to prove what? Is English your 1st language by the way? Can you name one Irish "culture" that has eroded/disappeared in lets say...the last 20 years?

    The ability to be quietly racist. It gets harder when there's brown people around.

    So you can't answer the questions and instead make some sort of childish comment about my post count which by the way is over 5 years:confused:


    Is there a point you wished to make with that comment or would you maybe try to answer the questions i asked you? Otherwise (to coin a phrase) "You contribute nothing of content for discussion" .

    They do, they also expect Ireland to act in the best interest of the EU. What sort of pressure do you think Ireland could bring to the table to force the EU to do something?

    Don't agree to sign up any of the EU pet projects like the Euro in the first place and reject an EU army. With Brexit coming down the tracks the Ireland should be putting pressure on the EU to back a United Ireland.

    Also with regards to immigration the EU should be tightening border controls and turning migrants back from day one they should back Italy and all EU operations in the Med should be to prevent illegal immigration that would be looking out for all member states best interests. They should solely look out for th interests of members not the interests of NGOs, 3rd countries and organisations like the UN and WTO.

    Someone mentioned about when the people and the government at the time chose to stop the anchor baby residency law.

    We do some stupid and arseways things in this country but that law change was without doubt one of the most intelligent decisions Iv seen in Irish politics.

    It was an excellent decision

    The left in power want that law revoked without a democratic process even though we voted for it. Shows the amount of respect they have for our existing non imported citizens

    That rat Paul Murphy tried to push it through, insisting it didn't need to go to referendum (technically true, however he primarily wanted too avoid a referendum because he knew he would lose)

    I couldn't think of who it was thanks for reminding me. What do you expect from red scum like Murphy fact is they genuinely want a communist dictatorship and are against democracy unless of course it suits them. At least you know where you stand with forgeiners that they don't like you but these will pretend to be the friend of ordinary Irish people then betray them.

    While I can see it's in the north, there can never be a moral justification for the Irish government handing out houses to Syrian refugees in the middle of our worst housing crisis since the 50's.

    Assist them, certainly.

    But a permanent house handed out? It beggars belief, and not one politician with the balls to call it out.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,907 ✭✭✭Stephen15


    I don't blame induvidual migrants who can blame for taking the opportunity which we are offering them. Targeting migrants is what I would call racist. What I do have a problem with is our government allowing large numbers of migrants which will result in all sorts of social problems such as crime, homelessness, unemployment and a burden on our society in the long run I mean only look at the UK and France.

    Well it could have been one of the 5k+ that was turned down, I doubt it but families always get first priority and rightly so.

    The only one I can think of who didn't get a house was that Cash traveler but she was playing the game. I'd rather she didn't get a house tbf.

    I'd rather the likes of Cash got nothing. However, we're stuck with them, and the sooner she is put in an actual council house the less drain it is via the HAP scheme, plus it puts one more rental property back on the open market.

    If it was passed via referendum would there have to be another referendum to change the result?

    No.

    So if a referendum goes against government opinion they can just turn around and change the law again

    You should really look at what was voted on before commenting. We voted to add the following to the constitution. I have bolded the part relevant to your question

    1º 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.

    2º This section shall not apply to persons born before the date of the enactment of this section

    Yes. Instead we get stellar candidates like Frances Fitzgerald, Maria Walsh and.....you know what I can't even think of any more of the irrelevant spoofers by name.

    Is "unless provided for by law" or something similar depending on the topic added into every referendum?

    A nice back door for undemocratic change if the vote goes against government wishes

    Explain precisely how legislation being amended by the dail, on something that was voted on by the people with the proviso that the dail can subsequently amend it, is somehow undemocratic?

    People vote. Dail say no screw them. Turn it over

    No democracy in that.

    The people voted. They voted to allow the dail to subsequently change it. the dail votes to change it. The dail is acting as we voted to allow them. So again i ask, what exactly is undemocratic about that? If you dont understand what democracy is just say so and we can move on but something does not become undemocratic just because they are doing something you disagree with.

    In my view that is not democracy. If a referendum was called on a particular subject then another referendum should be required if there is to be a change.

    But as you have pointed out this is not the case. So be it. We just have to hope that those elected make the correct decisions for the country going forward

    Makes you wonder why even bother with referendums in the first place


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,907 ✭✭✭Stephen15


    You'd be surprised I believe a large amount of people especially the working class are against immigration but no ones pushing it as an electoral issue and a large amount of the working class don't vote anyway. The likes of Kelly, O'Doherty and Peter O'Loughlin down in the South weren't elected because they didn't have the funding or the campaign and wasn't helped by RTE not having them on for the debate.

    The only candidate that had an anti globalist anti immigration message with funding and public recognition was Casey and he came relatively close to getting a seat. So clearly there is some degree of an appetite there for politics that isn't nessecarily politically correct.

    Is that a joke the same country that voted in Bertie, Brian Cowen, Albert Reynolds, Charlie Haughey and the likes but yet "know kunts when they see them". What makes you think the Irish are any different to the Americans who voted Trump, the Brits that voted Farage and Brexit, the French that voted Le Pen, the Spanish that voted Vox, the Gemans that voted AfD and the Italians that voted Salvini.

    If mass immigration becomes a major issue which it will in the near future the Irish will start voting for anti immigration nationalist "far right" candiates. Just like what's already happened across Europe and the West where mass immigration is already an issue at the forefront. I would preferably like to see these candiates get elected in the next election to prevent mass immigration becoming an issue.

    Not bad for a first timer entering politics I wouldn't be surprised if him and some NP and ACI candidates got elected to the next Dail. Altough I do think Casey is a Mé Feiner who goes with the wind and not a true Irish patriot.
