    Hence their bluster.

    Ah would you catch yourself on. Talk about biased. This nonsense adds nothing to the discourse.

    Why bother providing evidence to substantiate your view, if others wont reciprocate, and just spoof. One poster seems to have started the rot, ironically a "pro immigration" poster.

    Are you not pro immigration? :confused:

    I thought we only had one anti-immigration poser, who you affectionately called a "bollix".

    The case of the student from Eritrea(I believe) who came here on a student visa a few weeks later he viciously raped and assaulted young lady on a night out ,
    He was caught and convicted in court during his sentencing his lawyers asked the judge to adjourn the hearing as they were planning an asylum case -

    He's still here

    When liberal areas like Dalkey, Foxrock, Killiney, Dun Laoighre etc each have a direct provision centre we will take someone like you seriously. Until then you and your ilk have no credibility.

    The number 1 reason well to do liberal lefties are trying to force DPCs down the country is because they don't want one in their own area.

    2 centres in the whole of Dublin, 2!

    Fúcking imported American nonsense, it's crept into everything.

    It's boring and tiresome.

    Bluster, lack of comprehension of due process and general ignorance from a few posters. Stick to the facts and you'll have some credibility.

    Two in Galway, a city of 79,000. And we can happily accommodate more here. I'd welcome them, to dispute your assertion.The fact it's more multicultural than the rest of the country would make it easier for refugees to assimilate. Oughterard less good but still within easy reach of the city.


  • Administrators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 76,131 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭Beasty


    I've just gone through a lot of posts made during the course of today. Those of you demanding proof/evidence to support claims made would do well to follow your own advice

    Now this forum allows posters to express opinions. If you wish to claim "facts" to support your position, please be prepared to back them up with substantive evidence. If you can't do so, do not repeat your claims, as that is akin to trolling

    People responding to claims - do not go on about it repeatedly. Make your point and move on

    Any questions PM me - do not respond to this warning in-thread

    Thanks

    They don't have a vote here until they become nationals. Nor do the Gauls you brought into this. You presumably have one so use it.

    Im pro immigration in the sense its controlled, people are processed quickly, either allowed stay or removed as quickly as practical, not left rot in DP for years, are treated with dignity.
    We dont shove 200 odd of them into some rural hamlet wheres theres fcuk all facilities, infrastructure or jobs, either for the liberal feels or to line the pockets of some party stalwart

    The majority in Galway City? Your conjecture is based on what exactly? And here are the figures from the 2016 census.


    Irish: 81.4% Irish
    United Kingdom national: 2%
    Polish or Lithuanian: 6.3%
    Other EU national: 5.2%
    Other nationality: 5.1%
    Ethnic Groups

    White: 91.1%
    Black: 3.3%
    Asian: 3.2%
    Other: 2.4%

    So the majority are essentially Europeans and white according to the figures posted

    Don’t know what you’re basing this on, but we have long established that boards does not in anyway represent the ‘majority’.

    Yes. The great majority.

    You said the majority wouldn't support my welcome for a new DPC in Galway City. Based on what? Would you be basing that on white people, for example, not wanting refugees?

    The march in oughterard several thousand attended Vs the counter march in galway which was not attended by many at all .


    Pretty obvious by a clear margin


  • Registered Users Posts: 19,309 ✭✭✭✭alastair


    Two things very obvious here.

    1. You're unable to state what my "claim" is/was despite several challenges to do so.

    2. You've contradicted yourself in two breaths. Not only have you not* provided the figures, you're pulled down your pants and exposed yourself as a spoofer, for here, you say "the figures" you claim to have provided, are actually just "their absense".

    It must be heartbreaking for anyone with a modicum of sympathy to your cause, (god knows, I've a positive disposition to genuine assylum seekers) watch you struggle. I'm no intellectual giant, but Jesus wept, this is like arguing with my 5 yr old. Complete with dinosaurs. Its why people like me (centrist) dont trust people like you. Its why the left-right dichotomy is becoming very polarised.

    In fact, I'd wager truppence you've skin in the game. A vested interest if you like.

    *anyone else would simply take my wind, and provide the figures. Nope, not you though, because you cant, you'll just spoof and insult people with low calibre armements and weak shot munitions.

    The figures are uncontested and don’t disprove my point at all. As already stated. Your claim remains one without an iota of evidence. Suggest you avoid wagering.

    Oughterard is not Galway City.

    The march in the city was against DPCs as a system and demanding an overhaul. Not an anti-Oughterard march at all. You've been misinformed.

    I beg to differ Sean, that's precisely what our march was about, it's a broken system that does no one any favours save for the developers that are making profits out of government incompetence.

    Like saying Siberia was crying out for people while Stalin was in power.

    No consultation with migrants.
    And no consulation with locals.

    Stalin would be impressed.

    Let Stalin know that I’ve never been consulted about my neighbours either. It’s totalitarianism gone mad!

    Look,You claimed 7000+ people served with deportation orders had left the country,you havent backed that up with any evidence except that you cant see them so they arent here.

    Nobody else claimed anything in response to that,only posters looking for proof of the claim YOU made.

    Show a bit of evidence they all left or else just drop it for the sake of the thread.
