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

Sweet lord, you expect hospital staff to firstly check with Gardai, which department of Gardai firstly, before they administer medical aid?

And I believe that the employment sector is regularly checked by persons working in that sector.

There was a newspaper report recently about the Brazilian community in Ireland and someone from the Brazilian embassy said the number of Brazilians in the country was way underestimated. No surprise there.

If anyone has a link to the justice ministers scheme from the Irish examiner can they post a link. I heard something about it that I want to confirm, I've searched their website though and can't find the article.

I think the government and the supporters of mass immigration are going to move on from these handy clichés soon and start using fertility as a reason for mass immigration. Ireland's fertility level is falling off a cliff, likely to be 1.5 or less this year. This is normal in a Western European sense but one of the likely reasons for such a rapid fall could well be due to the financial cost now in Ireland of family formation and house buying.

I feel this will be used to justify even more rapid immigration (If that is possible).

Immigration won't solve our fertility rate though, nor will it solve our pension crisis.

At some stage in Ireland some decent, intelligent hard working politicians are going to have to arrive on the scene and put an end to this madness. Look at what is going on in France now, it is almost universally against immigration (either extremely tightly controlled or temporarily stopped altogether) from the current centrist governing party of Macron and those on the center right and far right. The far left in France are about the only ones happy with the current situation.

If Ireland even had a party like Macron's we would have a workable immigration system that could be implemented, unfortunately we don't.

Where did I include newly arrived migrants in my post?

Go on. Quote the specific wording which supports your claim.

haha... you do realise that hospital staff already check to see if the average person has insurance or can pay for the services received? You make it sound that there isn't already a system in place to check people's details.

As for the second part, that was included within my own post. You're taking things out of the context of the overall post.

It is amazing how much you deflect. Are you even capable of dealing with a post directly, without hedging or shifting around?

"The scheme that will be announced by the Minister for Justice this morning will include a parallel process for people in Direct Provision. It will allow international protection applicants who have an outstanding application for international protection and have been in the asylum process for a minimum of two years to apply"

This essentially means that nearly 100% of people claiming "asylum" in Ireland just prior to Covid will now be allowed to stay and become Irish citizens....and you can guarantee the few thousand more who've arrived since will say its unfair and demand the same.

This overall figure of 17,000 will be shown up as a gross underestimate in 6 months time at which stage they will move the goalposts again.

So, no issue with anyone living here, so long as they are legal. Even if we have no idea who any of them are? What about criminals? Sex offenders? Drug dealers? Fraudsters?

You only have issues with people living here illegally, working and contributing, not committing crime, other then being illegal?

Seems your priorities may be a bit skewed.

@Annasopra Still waiting for that quote from you...
