#IrelandIsFull trending on twitter... Have we reached boiling point?

Full to anyone who isnt here already I presume.

You're right - twitter users tend to be far more liberal than the populace at large.

I've heard murmurings from people whom I'd never have heard anything from before. Not sure it's just the usual cohorts.

We're one of the least populated countries in western Europe. Describing such a country as being "full" is a bit preposterous. We're four times the size of Wales and they have a population of over 3 million (and that's a poor country with limited resources).

Concerns about stress on infastructure and labour protectionism go unaddressed and are waved away with dishonest accusations of racial prejudice. What's new?

The marriage of the thirst for cheap labour and leftist antiracism is fascinating to me.

Fair play to the big capitalists for leveraging leftist delusion and using leftist cultural dictators as a Praetorian Guard for their own cold hard financial logic and calculation in blowing up the labour pool and suppressing wages. Very clever.

Its not the immigrants that have steadfastly refused to plan for population increases. Its not the immigrants that object to almost every planned development. Its not the immigrants that refuse to acknowledge that Ireland has changed dramatically and that our planning laws needs to be completely changed. When you consistently do things the 'Irish Way' instead of the right way then expect failure.

Full based on current resources we have

We do not have the accommodation to house more people, the school places or teachers to teach them, the hospital capacity to treat them, the public transport capacity to move them, the energy generation for their added leccy usage, etc etc

Saying Ireland is full isn’t racist.

however people in Ireland, taxpayers, citizens, Irish people have a concern, an extremely valid one as relates to the direction the country in heading… it’s not racist to wish to discuss that. Of course the champions and advocates for and of multiculturalism will disingenuously claim racism and all sorts.

they want to shut down discussion, it’s not in their interest to engage honestly with people as their argument for what they advocate is shambolic, see through and bull and bluster basically.

is Ireland full ? Close to being yes I think…the manner of which our population is being purposefully and consciously increased and the catalysts for it, no sign of any resistance to it by governments… it won’t be long becoming full….

its appalling really… there is no way to halt it.

The problem is they will have to compete with other immigrants for access to a tent to live in.

Capacity is definitely a big issue, particularly in terms of housing. But immigrants are not to blame for a housing shortage - that is 100% on the Irish government for failing to build houses for the last 15 years and failing to anticipate that the Irish population would hit 5 million.

How does the government get a free pass here and immigrants blamed instead?

There is ton of housing units lying empty across the country. Last details I can find we have 16 pupils for every teacher which average for first World nation.

Public transport in my area is nearly always empty unless there is a big match in Croke Park then train is packedor Sunday night going back to college. The Westport to Athlone bus has multiple journeys per day and always empty.

Maybe the policy is deliberate.

Encourage more immigration when housing is already almost unavailable.

Ferment anger and direct the anger towards immigrants.

Promise immigration control in next election, something left wing parties will be reluctant to do and thus poach votes from the left.

Problem, solution.

Drive around, drive to any decent sized town in Galway, Mayo, Roscommon, Offaly, Westmeath, Longford, Leitrim you will see them
