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

It's genuinely hard to believe just how easily people are misled by cons.

A school with 43 nationalities. "Oh that's great, wonderful news! Separately, I can't find a place for my child in school."

"I have to wait 4 years for a medical appointment even though my head is falling off, that's weird."

"I can't afford to buy a home, that's weird."

"I can't afford to rent a home, that's weird."

"I can't move to take up employment because there's nowhere available, that's weird."

"These wages aren't enough to live on, that's weird."

"I have to wait 20 years on a social housing list, that's weird."

Like, for the suffering jaysus h Christ Almighty, can people not link the above to the simple fact that a f*ck load of extra people have been arriving into the country year upon year despite all these problems existing year upon year? Come on!

During a global pandemic, when people weren't allowed down the street, somehow yet another extra 11,000 people arrived in 2021. How?! By all accounts, it looks like now that the pandemic has lifted, there are record numbers arriving. We have to wait until next year to get those numbers though. And then the Ukrainian refugees, all ready being primed to take up the unaffordable jobs as part of the great pyramid scheme, is just the cherry on top.

Again, "multiculturalism" is nothing but the propaganda arm of a con job. The next time you're shocked at the state of the place and there not being enough to go atpund, think no further than this.

And don't mistake "immigrants" versus "migration". One is a way to make you feel guilty, the other is a cold economic fact.

All you need to do is take a look at the nationalities of the Deliveroo guys, mostly Brazilian where I live. You'll find most of the people working in hospitality aren't Irish and they're from poor countries. Often these lads are living in double figures in shared rooms and here on English language studies visas. They don't go home, the employers ask no questions and are happy to pay them cash in hand off the books. Honestly, there's lots of free online English language courses available. It's farcical to argue that people need to come to Ireland to learn to speak English. Without all the cheap foreign labour the hospitality industry would be forced to pay decent wages and provide decent working conditions.

That's a tricky one. I understand why so many African doctors come to work here, it's human nature to want a better life than the one you have. We do have a lot of them here and many of them are a real benefit to our health service, some, not so much. I won't go into the story of how one of them treated my Mother. It was so bad that the staff made an official complaint against her, though being a fat black African woman I doubt anything got done about it. Yah know, not being seen as racist is more important that the well being of the vulnerable patient. That being said, there are racist idiots using the HSE and nobody of any colour or nationality should be abused racially or otherwise. It's kind of hard to reconcile our need for doctors from poor countries with 3rd world health care who our own student doctors jet off to on a gap year so they have it on their CV.

Yeah, it was a bit telling those Pakistani or Indian doctors that got pulled up for openly cheating in exams here to make sure their standard of education was up to scratch for working here. They made no attempt during the exam to try and hide the fact that they were cheating, even speaking in their own language to each other across the room, arriving by the same car and leaving together. Now don't get me wrong, I've met lots of very nice and very qualified doctors and consultants from India and Pakistan and I've no problem with them providing my medical treatment.

Anyone who thinks this level of immigration won't have a negative effect housing, healthcare and education capacities in a country with housing, healthcare and education legacy shortages has had a bang on the head and isn't thinking clearly.

I wonder if there are any Irish kids in that school in Limerick now. With that many nationalities none of the kids, whatever their nationality, will get a good education. It's just not possible.
