What are your views on Multiculturalism in Ireland? - Threadbanned User List in OP

Agreed. The consequences for this country long term aren't going to be good.

Should have posted the CSO link earlier. There is detailed info on what they are trying to achieve, the limitations of the research and the updated statistics.

Stunning that our population has just been revised upwards by 5% and barely a mention of it. Anyway thanks to the CSO for trying to get a handle on what the actual figures are.

Marketing spin, and propaganda spread. undocumented gives a better impression than "illegal". They're prepping the Irish population for acceptance.

I do find it interesting that RTE haven't done any in-depth investigation of the overall situation. Instead, reports are given in small installments, or just added at the end of other reports (which have already encouraged the belief that all migrants are innocent, are in need of help, and are a definite benefit to the nation).

TBH I find it more interesting the way Irish people just accept all this conditioning.... people will be quick to point to China or Russia for how the media is twisted to serve governmental policies.. but there's little to no consideration of how much western governments are doing the same. Oh, the issues involved are different, but the methods used are pretty much the same.

That's as far as I am aware. I agree it is breaking the law. Government have decided to regulate a certain number of these people, it's better then them being illegal.

Where are they?

You will have to back this up.

Obviously. You think they should be removed? Where will you find them?

Shouldn't be difficult if the will/interest was there to do so.

First off, all illegals found by the Gardai to be illegally employed, should be identified, and not released back into society.

Secondly, the requirement for any access to medical care by anyone without legal documentation to be here, be guaranteed by the Gardai. As such, then the Gardai would have the details of the people in question. The same happening for access to state education.

Third, regular checks of employers in industries where such immigrants typically end up working in. for example, food processing/slaughterhouses. Hospitality would be much harder to track, but then again, they've managed to enforce covid checks, so I don't see why they wouldn't be able to check those employed.. God knows they could just take the people away from checking for the TV license and assign them to following up on employers.

It wouldn't be hard to sweep the current population and identify a fair majority of them... sure, some would escape notice, but I suspect they'd be able to identify upwards of 60-70% simply by doing the above. Which would still be better than the current "answer" to the situation.

You could read over the last page, and then, you'd know what I was "on about". The discussion is about the undocumented/illegal workers included within the 17k estimate.
