Maybe he was related to that prince, or maybe he knows about nigerians using Ireland as a money laundering base with no consequences.

Very True. But the hoteliers sure trousered the VAT reduction rapid while gouging this summer season after previously gouging the locals during the Covid travel ban. The asylum racket guarantees 100% occupancy year round. Plus they get to claim they're great humanitarians to boot. Philanthropy for profit.

The news about Ireland being a soft touch on illegal immigration has spread and as we can see all sorts are now flocking to the country. 10,000+ asylum applications so far this year (end of September), compared with 3,000-4,000 applications in previous years. Up until the end of August that number was 8,892. 40% of people claiming asylum are destroying their passports because they know there are no repercussions for doing so. This isn't news to most of us on this thread. People who are destroying their passports to hide their identities should never be allowed to remain as a matter of national security. Only criminals would destroy their legal documents. The only logical resolution should be for them to be returned to the Country of flight origin government itself admits this system is being abused, and yet the taxpayer is paying for the legal fees, for hotel rooms all in order to house illegal immigrants for up to a year. I don't know whether they are just f*cking thick or doing this deliberately.

One-seventh of the hotels in the country are being used to house asylum seekers and refugees. turning Ireland into one big direct provision center. The government seems to be ignoring a warning from the UN refugee agency that the country is over-reliant on hotels to house refugees. The national sports campus in Blanchardstown is now a refugee center. Where many kids use to all sorts of activities, that venue is now unavailable to them. Also there is not a single Ukrainian amongst them as the msm all reported in sync

As the Ukrainian Premier League is set to return for the first time since the invasion and Ukraine managing their ongoing 2030 joint world cup bid Ireland has received 54,771 Ukraine refugees, of which just 1,000+ arrived last week alone. Meanwhile, Latvia is putting a halt to taking in more because their cities cannot afford it. How is it that Ireland can afford it? A couple of thousand off of a million on hospital waiting lists, housing, and a national debt of €47,000+ debt per person. Latvia's debt per person in €5,509. The Budget will see Ireland's overseas development assistance increase to its highest-ever level of €1.22 billion. And all provided by a bankrupt country with one of the highest debt per capita in the EU. As of [30/9/22] 10,805 people in emergency accommodation. 1,485 families of which 55% (814) were single-parent families. Showing a 32% increase from a year ago (8,212 in August 2021). In Ireland, Charity really never begins at home!

What's being done to Ireland is abhorrent!!!

I'd imagine they would be quickly booted out if they tried that in other countries, Ireland is an extremely soft touch, and they know it too.

I guess they just want to be certain

I think this is why a conversation about immigration is important to have as a country. It should not be something swept under the carpet. The politicians have decided on how to proceed and don’t care to listen to any dissent on the matter.

Lots of industries are heavily reliant on workers from overseas. Some immigrants are very dependent on the state for additional support and many others aren’t as they are high earners. There are other categories of immigrants too but we have less control over those numbers.

At a very basic level what is the effect of the quality of life in Ireland as you increase the population? There are those that say that immigration only has positives, but realistically capacity in healthcare, schools, infrastructure has to increase too all while trying to meet climate change targets.

Can we keep up with increasing demand on services and our infrastructure. Our healthcare system is a classic example. It has a limited capacity and on paper it’s easy say build a new hospital and hire more healthcare staff, however we know they are struggling to recruit and new facilities take a long time to build.

It’s very easy say Ireland is a wealthy country and we can afford to keep increasing the population, but we are heavily indebted and there are definitely big problems in this country with healthcare and housing already.

While they like to give the impression that most of the tech jobs created here are highly paid, I can assure you that the tech sector is also chock full of low paid foreign workers. I was chatting to a couple from Portugal on holidays that had been working for Google in Dublin. They were doing sales/marketing and software localization for them while making 24k a year until they upped sticks and moved home because they just couldn't afford to live here anymore. There's tons of foreign nationals in places like Pay pal and google doing crap jobs for no money. For every highly paid Cisco network architect or software engineer these companies hire there are ten people doing low level stuff on poor pay because they can answer the phone in farsi or Portugese.

There were 58,443 births in Ireland in 2021, so say the 47,395 Irish issued with PPS numbers so far in 2022 are new births...

Going by current trends, there will have been more Ukrainian refugees who have entered Ireland this year than Irish people who have been born. And I’m not even getting into the replacement rate - births minus deaths...

And that’s just Ukrainians, another 109,996 were of unknown nationality.

Irish people really will be a minority soon in this country.

That ship has long sailed
