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

This is the issue.

Will the Dept scrutinise them?.

That's my issue. And from their track record with DP, you would have to say they won't.

The DP system has been a one way system despite the fact that making a legal application to Ireland is almost impossible(as unless you come from the UK you've passed through safe countries to fly here).

Should be dragged into the back of the garda van. straight to the Ukranian embassy. The ambassador can then decide if they are Ukranian, and if not back to Kashmir in handcuffs. Its amazing how they make their way to the softest touch. Saw reports of an African lad who claimed to be Ukranian being seperated from the Ukranians and put into a detention centre to be deported to his African country of origin. The way it should be done.

They are different scenarios. DP and Asylum runs under a very different system along with international legal requirements... than refugees. The NGOs have sought to merge the two, but they're still operating under different rules. The Ukrainian refugees are not going to be processed through the Asylum/DP process, unless they make separate individual claims.. which is possible, but not likely at this stage.

Justice and the government are aware of the limited finite resources. They'll make all the grand gestures for the Ukrainians, but I doubt they'll do the same for migrants to Ukraine of other nationalities, caught up by the conflict. It really depends what kind of sympathy the NGOs can drum up, but realistically, the actual Ukrainians have the trump card on sympathy.

Those are pre covid figures and all the lockdown supports.

ah ya love to see it

Those too. Playing the welfare system is all too prevalent, from natives back to the times of the Tuath De Danaan to the newest arrivals. Actually cracking down on everybody taking the piss, the same irregardless of origin, would reap big benefits. The issue with the case you quote, is he shouldnt have been allowed to stay in the first place(from Senegal), he should have been jailed, and he should have been brought straight to the airport to be flown back to France(and then Senegal), never to set foot in any other EU country again

edit: the low level regional insurgency in Senegal has been at ceasefire since 2012.. so should have returned voluntarily after all our hospitality. He has been found to have stolen more from us than he could concievably earn in a lifetime of honesty

Really? So you too know someone nationality by looking at them? As a fact?

Exactly this. The system is wrong.

A country should make it worthwhile to work. Everyone in the country should aspire to work. Our system does not do that. That's what is broken, that and the fraudsters, of which there are plenty, both native and foreign

Jesus read the section title, it is "Census of Population 2016 – Profile 8 Irish Travellers, Ethnicity and Religion"

then there are multiple chapters on religion(nothing to do with traveller), I suggest you look at the sections "other christian" and "non christian" and look at labour force participation rates(ie employment), then compare and contrast. Its quite clear, without commetary, that there are parallel societies forming here(that will be openly hostile to Irish culture when their numbers increase, just like has happened all over Europe) funded by us Irish idiots.

Why do we have to copy the mistakes of other countries, when we can already see the outcomes

Pension age is rising all over the first world countries. That's what happens as countries become more successful and things get more expensive.

Refugees are not to blame for that either
