Time for a zero refugee policy? - *Read OP for mod warnings and threadbans - updated 11/5/24*

also - is this a public health concern ??

Yes and not using having a domestic dispute with your husband to travel a 1000 miles skipping through safe countries to live here as an excuse would be nice.

I have gone and livec in other countries and many are vastly better run.

It was a shame seeing how my family members couldnt access the health service in time.

Also how there is a complete and utter lack of accommodation and public school places. Also the reliance on religious organisations to run public schools. The train system in Ireland is embarrassingly bad . Noisy polluting diesel trains as commuter services. Decrepit darts

Many of these things WERE better in the past and are better run in other countries. They are daily life issues so they aren't small things to deal with.

Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong all are vastly better run. Even large parts of Malaysia, China and Thailand are better run with better infrastructure in terms of healthcare, housing, schooling and transport. I brought overseas visitors to Ireland they laughed at the the state of the trains and public transport and couldn't understand why it was so hard to get timely medical treatment. In those countries its just another service.

And the idea of religious institutions running state schools is nuts to them, except for the Muslim countries. State schools still checking what religion you are is terrible.

This is in Asia.

We are talking Europe.

So upgrading a run down derilect house is the fault of the people of the country or government. Do people realise that every piece of land in this country does not need dwelling to accommodate refugees. It's not compulsory

It truly is. The likelihood is the same or more next year.

our two ‘leaders’ are like having an umbrella in the face of a hurricane.

the attainment of any sort of wellbeing going forward is about to become a dogfight…. ⬇️⤵️⬇️

our elected representatives basically have no problem with the possibility of 1.8 million people arriving here per decade. Seeking protection / assylum.

What exactly does this mean for a population of 4 odd million in the vast vast ocean of culture and people of 6 billion and more and dont say integration.

Huge pressure on housing, schools and healthcare provision comes from the government failing to provide enough of the three, not from immigration.

If we go down the route of blaming immigrants for these pressures, why not target other groupings as well : too many old people in the country, too many families having children, too many people living on benefits, too many rural people moving to urban areas, too many Irish emigrants returning home etc?

OK. We want people to work in jobs that Paddy/Pauline won't do anymore.

But not too many.

Are you honestly equating the demographic patterns of natural-born Irish people and those who have acquired citizenship, with a cohort of chancers, who landed here having destroyed their documentation?

Just listen to yourself. ‘Too many families having children’. That’s precisely what should be encouraged and supported. Irish people achieving replacement level fertility in their own country. Obviously that’s an anathema to you, but most people do understand why that’s a desirable outcome.

These BOT-like posts of yours, consistently lack any reasoning. Just pause for a moment and consider the utter drivel that you’re generating.

Well let's make a list shall we and see which makes the most sense to tackle first:

1. Euthanize the old ( I like 75 as the entry age)

2. 1 child rule (China style)

3. Removing social welfare

4. Banning the movement or relocation of irish citizens

5. Reducing/stopping the influx of non Irish citizens to the country

Hmmmmm tough choice like.

100%.

Can you explain how inward migration has no impact on limited housing supply ?
