I lived in London for 10 years working with community groups - including Irish ones - for various organisations like L.B. Hackney, Greater London Council, and Inner London Education Authority and that makes me an expert.

I can assure you there were many Irish in both Notting Hill and in the Tory Party. Baroness Detta O'Cathain was a staunch Thatcherite and now sits in the House of Lords.
Ironic that you come in here all guns firing about the Irish gathered where they felt comfortable but when non Irish do that in Ireland they are accused of not integrating.

I would suspect that is a generational and socioeconomic issue. I lived in London for 5 years, often went to The Crown, National etc in the late 80’s to mid 90’s. I had a lot of friends there, still have a few. During the boom years here a lot came home because there were contraction jobs. The younger guys started heading to Australia, Canada, US etc rather than London. So the Eastern Europeans took their place. Nothing wrong with that, they did what the Irish had been doing for the previous 100 years.

In fairness, the researcher later points out that it may not necessarily be accurate and that for Ireland to do some weird blocks on immigration would stagnate our economy.

Yeah, a point that has been made over and over. We need inward migration to ensure our aging population doesn't completely break the countries economy.

Well, that's not quite true. Between 1998 and 2004 we allowed jus soli and had a problem with pregnant women arriving here and laying down anchor babies so their children would automatically gain citizenship.

Today we still have illegal immigrants masquerading as asylum seekers coming here to game the asylum system.

Now here's the thing, some cultures are less evolved than others as they still practice backward things, like child grooming for example. There are countless Pakistani Muslim child grooming gangs in Northern England, who are praying on underage chav girls, by giving them drugs, alcohol and then having sex with them.


You say them adapting to our culture is none of our business. Would you still utter those sentiments if you had a daughter who was targeted by these gangs?

You don't even have to look to England, there are Africans who bring their daughters to backdoor doctors or back home to Africa to undergo female genital mutilation. Do we ignore this? Is this none of our business either?

It's actually open to interpretation, hence the reason why Japan and Korea take in feck all refugees.

You mean Britain produced a hell of a lot of economic refugees. Food was still being exported when were starving to death. Most of our population decline was under British rule.

You're using accents as a measure of how well people are integrating?

Black Africans have an employment rate of 40%, versus 65% of the general population.

We have the second-highest rate per capita of Muslims joining ISIS. I doubt many of them are from EU countries and I doubt many of them are indigenous to Europe, Lisa Smith and Terry (Kaliid) Kelly being the obvious exceptions.

We have gangs of African youths carrying out violent muggings and beatings in various towns in North County Dublin. A 14-year-old in my hometown was left for dead a few weeks ago. I don't see any gangs of German or Eastern European youths doing this.

The last example is anecdotal, but I'd say EU migrants are integrating a lot better than non-EU.

How many children were granted citizenship under jus soli exactly?
Even if it was 1000 it was still controlled - the child had to be born in Ireland meaning a pregnant woman had to be in the country at the time. Hardly an "open borders" policy.

It is not for you to decide if those seeking asylum are genuine or not.
We are signatories to the Geneva Convention on Refugees and therefore have a legal obligation to investigate each case. That is the law. The fact that our system is lengthy and cumbersome benefits no one but those making vast profits due to running Direst Provision Centres.

As another poster pointed out - if you are going to target one entire section of people because some of them groomed and abused children then we shouldn't let a member of the RCC clergy any where near our country. I never let one of them near my son as it happens.

FGM is a reason to claim asylum you know - so are those asylum seekers genuine or not?

Try reading an actual scholarly history book about the build up to
the Famine and learn something that make shock you.

And no, I didn't claim accents were an indication of level of integration - I mocked that very assertion after the poster I was responding to said "I usually reserve where a person is from until I hear them speak". Try reading things properly next time.

6,500 applications in 2001 rising to 8, 620 in 2002 - applications came from a combination of asylum seekers (so people already in the system),people here on work permits (legal immigrant workers), and an unspecified amount of people here illegally.

At the point the door was shut - effectively stating that children entitled to Irish citizenship under the law had a choice between staying in Ireland without their non-Irish parents or leaving the country of their birth and citizenship until such time as they could return as adults there was 10, 500 applications pending. Hardly a floodgates.

And none of that answers the question as to how exactly many women deliberately came to Ireland to specifically give birth to a child whose citizenship rights they could then use as a way to gain leave to remain.

Compare that to applications for Irish citizenship through descent - this article is from Jan 2018:

The overall number of applications for citizenship through FBR rose above 22,000 this year, with increases across all regions.

The biggest regional rise was seen in applications from people born in Great Britain, which grew by 95% on 2016.

To date, some 13,004 applications from Great Britain have been received, compared to just 6,639 last year.

There were also significant increases in the numbers of applicants from the United States (up 33%) and South Africa (up 30%).

The number of persons applying for the FBR has more than tripled in four years.

In 2016, just 8,212 new entries were added to the register, while the most the recent figures show that 17,836 people were added in 2017.

Yes another aspect that needs to be looked at as one grandparent apart from a parent is enough to get Irish citizenship.An old law going back to 1956 a new amended when the population was in decline to boost immigration.

Loved the guys typical Irish name

Ireland's native population could be in a minority by the middle of this century, the president of Dublin City University (DCU) will claim today. But large-scale immigration is still essential if we are to remain prosperous, Prof Ferdinand von Prondzynski will say.

Ferdinand von Prondzynski himself being a child immigrant to Ireland from Germany whole family moved over for a few years in the early 1960s. I seem to recall there was a bit of a controversy when an academic in DCU was fired for positing in a blog post that von Prondzynski's father was a member of the Nazi Party (he fought for Germany in WWII). von Prondzynski absolutely denied this allegation.
If memory serves the academic was awarded a payment for unfair dismissal by the WRC but not re-instated.

He's the Irexit crank, former editor of the Irish Catholic and has worked with Nigel Farage . Although 'worked' is probably stretching is, seeing as Farage rarely shows up to the EP.

Kelly is currently Director of Communications for the Europe of Freedom and Direct Democracy group in the European Parliament. Some right characters in that group; UKIP/Brexit Party, AfD from Germany, 5-Star (Italy) amongst others.
