Was the government right to put no limit on the amount of Ukrainian refugees in Ireland? Read OP

To remind you, you used the word 'indigenous' without defining it. Can you answer my original question on what you meant? It shouldn't be hard - who are the indigenous Irish you were referring to? WRT to the UK migration, my point was to ask you, would migration from the UK (for whatever reason) be o.k. as they're not indigenous? Or are they indigenous? Perhaps so in the past?

If we could remove the bogus claims we would be able to help out more people fleeing wars.

It's a pity the Ukraine people are treated poorly but it's as much to blame from so called "left" as is anyone else.

Although I use these so called left and right in same bracket, basically nut jobs.

I would understand your puzzlement if Ireland had a history of immigration

Every country has a history of immigration, how else do you think they became populated?

The Aboriginals are thought to have came from Africa via Asia to cite your example.

The Irish (Irish: Muintir na hÉireann or Na hÉireannaigh) are an ethnic group and nation native to the island of Ireland, who share a common history and culture.

Very simple, really. The indigenous Irish have been on this island a lot longer than the Native Americans have been living in parts of modern day USA. Nobody ever disputes their indigenous claims to that country. We share a similar history of colonisation, oppression, destruction of our native culture, language and being treated as second class citizens - at best - by our colonial overlords.

Yet, when an Irish person dares use the term native Irish or indigenous Irish to describe the Irish people, not passport holders; the open border crowd get very offended indeed and play these useless word games where we can go back in time to when we all evolved from tetrapods. See, the Irish aren’t indigenous!

These games are never brought out to play when discussing non European indigenous groups. It is most strange.

I would not recommend telling an Australian Aboriginal that they’re not indigenous to Australia. They’ve been in Australia for 50,000 years.

Theyre indigenous.

Senator David Norris was born in what is now The Congo. Does that make him native Congolese? Of course not. But the opposite is true to these folk.

It is most strange logic.

Weird how that supposed timeline coincides with the great replacement theory guff in the USA. Almost like fringe lunatics saw that rhetoric was rallying people to them and they tailored the good word for the Irish

PPSN allocations to non nationals have been steadily increasing since 2013.

2013..75,720

2018..109,303

A 44% increase in only 5 years.

Ukrainian people receiving a PPSN for the week ending 22 May 2022 was 33,151… interestingly, I can’t find more recently attributed numbers to the rest of the more recent months, quelle surprise
