    An asylum-seeker who assumed a false identity to allow him to work in Ireland, before claiming €50,000 in social welfare payments when he lost his job, has avoided going to prison...
    Handing down a suspended two-year sentence, Judge Catherine Murphy noted that although Sow claimed his entitlements under a false name, he never tried to claim double payments. “As soon as he was given an alternative social welfare payment, he ceased claiming the first payment,” she said...

    Ah the decent sort. Gave up the first scam when he found another! Sure how could you send such a kind soul to prison? And he had dark-coloured skin the poor divil. We've all seen Roots and Mississippi Burning. We don't want to be seen to be the baddies here :)

    How they must laugh into their sleeves when they leave the courthouse. You can hardly imagine how little respect they have for the Irish. Another layer of scum on top of the native one. And millions and millions of them waiting to get here. Unsustainable.

    So if as some have suggested that Ireland is not an attractive place to come to then why on earth do they not claim asylum in the first country they arrive in.

    Probably because they know we are a welfare state and if they stick it out in DP for a few years they are living on easy street.

    Not really the point with regard to the Dublin regulations. There’s never been a requirement on asylum seekers to make their claim in a first safe country. Plenty of more generous welfare states to choose from, as we all know.

    So almost 95% were bogus?

    95% clogging up the system and preventing accommodation of genuine refugees.

    And that's the bit I laugh at and they dont see it.

    95% bogus claims and the genuine ones who need help are being left behind.

    Ask many Afghan Women and Children who were taken into Europe and you get many expressing their concerns that they still have families left behind over these bogus claims.

    I dont think anyone said that. Its just an example of how easy it is to swap identities and scam the system here in Ireland. And im sure there are many more like him.

    Except he got caught. So not so easy.

    Ok, you know better than the European Court of Justice. FFS :rolleyes:

    I know how to read. I’m not contradicting anything the ECJ has said.

    Services don't sound like a problem TBH.

    I would love to have that level of service.

    I'm from Galway. I'm not from Oughterard. People can be as pro asylum seeker as they like. Oughterard is not a suitable location. It's unfair to both the residents of Oughterard AND THE ASYLUM SEEKERS. Put them into Galway City which is a lot more suitable location. I would love for someone who thinks it's fine to stay a day out there in a cold day in November and see what it's like. Up until recently two cars couldn't even pass going over the bridge in village.
    You have it in a nutshell there Happy. If Boogles spent a few weeks living around that hotel and trying to avail of all the services he is waffling about he wouldn't be long looking closer to Galway to make life easier

    Wouldn't you wonder why they make the effort to come as far west considering how they would be better off in so many other countries haha , passing out the best of host countries to flounder in our harsh , heavily protected welfare country . Silly asylum seekers ...

    We’re far from the most inviting state in the EU for welfare support for asylum seekers. That’s just a simple fact. Your claim simply doesn’t hold water.

    They are not going to use those other GPs. They are going to use the one closest to them and if they are on medical cards, use him often.

    OK you accept they aren't racists in Oughterard, just people pushing back against what looks like a dictatorial move by government, with a communication and consultation style which wouldn't be out of place in the USSR.

    That presupposes there’s any obligation on the government to consult with locals on this. There isn’t. You may not like that fact, but it’s a fact nonetheless. The hotel was built with planning permission for residency volumes etc and it’s now a matter of who goes in the hotel. That’s never a matter of consultation.

    Hotel guests don't generally overload the local GP or schools.
    Nice try.

    Where’s the consultation on either of these issues in every other community? It isn’t a requirement.

    Are you honestly not prepared to see the racism in that post. I doubt it.

    What are you referring to exactly? DPCs in other communities?

    A community should have a right to say No to anything they want. That's democracy.

    If something like this was put in the constituency of one of the liberal Dublin politicians, you can imagine the response. They routinely oppose even normal apartment buildings because it might ruin the area or drug treatment facilities.

    Doubt they will want to go that direction.
    There are far from 14 buses going from Oughterard to Galway City. A girl renting beside me here is finding it very hard to get regular buses into Galway and can't get the bus that used to collect her special needs child from where she lived previously to school anymore. Hopefully she will get that worked out soon for her kids sake.

    Glad you acknowledge. It would be silly to get excited about peoples' skin colour when faced with a blatant resource issue.

    I can see that he's frustrated how we accommodate criminals from abroad give them a slap on the wrist and allow them remain here.

    As he said, its hard enough dealing with Irish criminals without letting in and keeping those from abroad.

    The colour of their skin doesn't matter by the way. The same would apply if they were white Caucasian criminals from abroad.

    It so does. Rejected means they had no grounds. Which means they were a chancer, a bogus claimer.

    There are six citylink busses from Oughterard to Galway daily, and eight bus eireann busses. No requirement to go anywhere near Clifden.
