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

The mechanism of new laws enacted.

already is inheritance tax / CAT tax.

Which is taxing something and resources belonging to people that has been taxed already. Multiple fûcking times.

go the full hog and inherited property appropriation is the next step.

Taking up the role to facilitate non tax payers, when irish people needed it where were they then ??

You asked for the statement and I provided it so there is no "And..?". To humour you....No I don't, I think it would definitely spark social unrest. That said, the comment in itself is shocking coming from our minister of Justice and highlights just how out of touch the current government is with the people of Ireland.

Vast majority of immigrants to Ireland work hard, pay taxes and contribute hugely to the country in other ways no matter their jobs or income.

The country couldn't function without them.

Same can't be said for the cohort of Irish natives happy on cradle to grave welfare generationally sucking off the tit of anyone who thinks you should work for a living. This, that and everything paid for.

Blaming immigrants is absurd. Just look around you.

The lack of self awareness at times in this thread is something else.

Asking for a discussion on immigration isn’t what I was referring to though. I was referring to this part of your post -

The squeezed middle (which includes many foreign people) are getting increasingly pissed off about seeing their government enacts policies and make decisions that impact them negatively or limit their opportunities. Things like own door policies for asulym seekers or buying houses for Ukrainians is a slap in the face for many people. 

It's like they want a far right to form....

Far-right parties aren’t going to form around the above. They don’t want to discuss immigration or multiculturalism, they want it gone, and they’ll lean on every negative stereotype about immigrants to whip up resentment of immigrants and any groups in society who according to their assessments are inferior to them and a burden on society.

They do like most people and get themselves in over their heads in debt. I don’t watch much RTE, so I can’t remember the names of the programmes other than “Room to Improve”, but there are other programmes where they go hunting for doer-uppers around Ireland and all that sort of stuff. They do Prime Time specials on property and antisocial behaviour and the various estates around Ireland.

Like I agreed with @Wibbs earlier - I haven’t seen any Prime Time specials on the negatives of immigration or multiculturalism, nor would I bother my arse watching them if they were on. I’m just not interested in dramatics, which is how I would characterise attempts to perpetuate negative stereotypes about any group in Irish society. It’s why I was thankful when for example Ruth Coppinger wasn’t re-elected after she swung her knickers around in the Dail in an attempt to undermine the Irish justice system. Nobody needs to see that sort of thing 😒

We got there in the end? I think you may have me mistaken for another poster, I had little or no correspondence with you. You really don't have a clue what's going on do you?

A childish response, did you even bother to scroll back and realise your mistake? Or are you just set on trying to wind people up?

The far-right in this country are as extreme as the far-left, neither are particularly popular, so I don’t think anyone has anything to fear from either side ever gaining any traction.

There’s plenty of constructive discussion is ongoing between the majority of people who have different political views on social policies, and it’s only really in online echo chambers that the extremists hang out expressing seething resentment towards other groups in society who they portray as an impediment to their ideas. It’s in these echo chambers their ideas are validated and legitimised which gives the impression that they’re more popular than they are in reality. Again, see the example of the People of Ireland Against Fuel Prices crowd, there was nothing constructive about it -

Everyone is pissed off with rising fuel costs among a whole range of other issues, but I don’t blame anyone who doesn’t want to be associated with people claiming to represent them, who actually don’t represent anyone but themselves.

I’m wondering how you’re characterising as far left that you’re claiming is continually platformed by our media. It’s an accusation that’s levelled at Irish media by either side depending upon wherever the accuser are themselves on the political spectrum. By way of example, there’s this -

And between them both the Irish Independent and the Irish Times have historically had their own political biases -

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_Independent

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Irish_Times

Both dwarfed in circulation by British tabloid media which could definitely not be accused of promoting a far left agenda. On Boards the piss was regularly taken out of anyone using the Daily Mail as source material. These days it’s the paper of record.

I don’t know about you, but I’d really rather Ireland didn’t return to a time when Charlie Haughey berated the Irish people for living beyond their means, or Padraig Flynn lamented the trials of running three homes, suggesting that people try it some time, or Bertie Ahern showing a complete lack of understanding of people struggling at the time -

'Sitting on the sidelines, cribbing and moaning is a lost opportunity. I don't know how people who engage in that don't commit suicide because frankly the only thing that motivates me is being able to actively change something,' he said.

It IS a stretch to call all NGOs far left. There’s plenty of people working in them and for sure their politics and policies are left-leaning, but there are just as many working in them who’s politics are too far right leaning even by my standards. I worked in the area of social care for the best part of two decades, I don’t any more, I figured I’d rather avoid the politics and insincere posturing that enabled some absolute shysters, cronies and useless fcuks who were only interested in feathering their own nest.

As annoying as genuine lefties often are, and as little time as I have for them and their ideas, I have even less time and patience for the sort of person who tries to pass themselves off as conservative when they don’t actually have any sort of constructive policies or principles or beliefs. They appear for all intents and purposes to define themselves by objecting to anything that has a whiff of the left off it.

Yeah not a great source I admit, unfortunately its among the few sources in Ireland that aren't afraid to address certain issues. Could be worse, I could have used RTE.That said have a read and tell us what parts of the article are untrue.

Oh come on, you said the far left. Those two are certainly left, but your claim was that the far left are continually platformed by our media. Far left would be Mick Wallace and Clare Daly -

And they certainly aren’t continually platformed by our media -
