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

there wasn't, it was just locals fighting, you still got all the thanks though. i saw this on twitter and no one actually seems to care about the facts they just want to point and go "told you so! i told you this would happen!"

someone here was saying the hardy people of louth wouldn't stand for the migrants being moved into carlingford last week or week before either. have they done anything yet?

i saw some footage from the 100 or so people in east wall protesting on monday. one of them had a wep/great replacement poster.

it just goes to show that most people in ireland couldn't care less who's moving here as life is relatively good for the majority of people and they don't need to vent their anger at migrants.

personally i have no great feelings on immigration in ireland but screaming at immigrants to go home and asking them where they're from and shouting "out out out" at them is disgusting behaviour in my view. protest your politicians and try and get some kind of new rules in place if you want immigration curbed.

Of course that doesn't count

• the number of grown adults still sitting at home in the parents box rooms.
• the number of students who now commute into college in Dublin because they can't find or afford somewhere to live in the city
• the number of workers who commute daily into Dublin because they can't find or afford somewhere to live in the city
• the number of foreign workers who are staying with relatives because they can't find anywhere to rent
• the number of people being put up in hotel accommodation because there is no public available accommodation as they are on housing lists

Our whole accommodation system is in crisis, it is a joke.

You can write all the war and peace responses you want, but you have just shown your lack of knowledge to all.

Or maybe it is arrogance.

who actually are these people who want to throw borders open to anyone? i think most people who sympathise with migrants just don't want them to be scapegoated and maybe instead suggest the ire be directed at government instead. It's the absolute nutters getting involved with the anti-immigration cause that worry me.

personally i couldn't care less if my neighbours were from somalia or mayo, we live in a globalised world at this stage anyway, so unless they started trying to implement sharia law or something i couldn't care less, i'd probably have more in common with a somalian that a beef farmer from mayo anyway :D

constant growth of the economy is not a good thing i agree, it will always encounter limitations, but if you suggest slowing down or even degrowth you're called a greeny lunatic or a communist

did i say i supported bringing them in? i didn't.

The ones that want open borders are for a start those that see nothing wrong with taking in thousands of undocumented travellers who turn up in Ireland at the very same time we are taking thousands of Ukrainian refugees.

They are the ones that refuse to kick out anyone that turns up on an aircraft yet magically lose their documents before immigration/customs control.

They are the ones that want to dump DP centres full of unknown young males from god knows where on communities around the country.

Anyone that is for that madness wants our borders wide open.

They never ever give a number, there is never a stop point.

Just keep en coming as after all everyone deserves our hospitality.

You really do hate the Irish farmers.

It appears you would rather someone into halal slaughter.

How do you feel about FGM?

After all some reckon 99% of Somali women have been "cut".

BTW that figure is from UN African women's website not the Daily Mail or some right wing think tank.

But I guess being a modern green all you give two fooks about is screwing that beef farmer from Mayo.

nope, i'm proud of the support we're giving the ukrainian people. i don't know enough about what the country is capable of doing regarding temporary accom in warehouses and old offices etc to house them but whatever we can offer them has to be better than somewhere in ukraine with no water and power.

love halal slaughter, it's almost as bad as how pigs are reared in ireland, big fan, more please

i'll give you a number as you seem to want one so badly from someone totally unqualified to quantify this, so how about 100k?

as i said temporary accom, warehouses etc, as it's better than being bombed and no power etc. in ukraine. do you think 100k is too many?

i wouldn't have thought we could help the people of ukraine and take in huge numbers without our lives being impacted somewhat though, no, but that's what war does.

grand, so we both have the same views, i would imagine most do in ireland.

problem is aren't we signed up to all kinds of u.n. agreements where we have to give people a change to claim asylum etc. when they arrive? how do we get the gov to quit this agreement?
