PUP fraud €183k, should the guilty be stripped of citizenship?

What about Irish citizens who are criminals?

I'm gonna blow your mind now, there are huge amounts of people that have commited fraud in relation to the PUP, who just live here! Not even citizens! 😱

I have no idea what your opinion is, nor why you are in this thread.

you either agree with the OP, that people convicted of crime should be stripped of their citizenship or you do not.

It's the price the free world pays for success

That makes little sense. The western world gained it's success based on it's historical advantages in technology and warfare. Economics based on expansion (imperialism/colonialism), and the production of war materials provided the bases for Western economic success... which was expanded upon after WW2 by further technological success, and the exploitation of the 3rd world. The US economy is based off the wealth it gained from Britain and Lend lease, and then compounded as being the biggest manufacturer and supplier of military hardware.

Western success is not based on any kind of equality. Look at US society? Do you really see equality extended to the majority of people, or glaringly wide margins of income inequality, and the access to power/influence being largely dependent on wealth? Most of Europe still retains the social frameworks of working classes, and the wealthier upper classes, who own most of everything. Generational wealth accrued over decades or centuries.

Equality is mostly a piece of propaganda trotted out to show the superiority of western culture compared to other cultures, but, in reality, it's never been close to what it claimed itself to be.

And the success of the "free world" has been on shaky ground for decades now. There is no connection between the high ideals for equality and representation, with the success of Western nations, except for the immigration of highly talented individuals who were encouraged to come to the West, and acted as a driver for technological success.. but they would have been an extreme minority compared to the remainder who ended up at the bottom of the society as cheap labor.

The question is theoretical, therefore I would be in favour of conditional Citizenship. If you're convicted of a serious crime, cheerio. But legally this is I would expect impossible because all citizens are considered equal therefore revoking Citizenship wouldn't be possible

A nations laws can be changed. The only real obstacle to such a change would be the UN... and that organisation has never been particularly effective. It wouldn't be that difficult to completely ignore the UN if the EU member states believed it was worth implementing such a condition on citizenship, and the revoking of that status depending on specific circumstances.

TBH I suspect we'll be seeing a lot of discussion, over the next few years, in Europe from France, Denmark, etc about how to change these laws. Attitudes have shifted considerably over the last two years, and that's likely to continue due to the continued problems with migrant populations, and those who have become citizens in those countries.
