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

I got 96% in First Year Comm Statistics back in 1993....Jesus Christ lads, I think everyone knows what a Percentage means. No need for comparing willys

Getting treatment in Beaumont hospital if you don't mind, most of us born and bred here couldn't even afford that.

Taking a court case as well looking for damages and we all know who is footing the bill for that.

Those 2 scroungers should be sent straight back to wherever they crawled out of.

No I hate **** like this from all nationalities.

She wants a paid for 2k a month apartment for free in Dublin, and went to court to get it.

That Syrian woman didn't sit down over a brew and decide to sue the state. Probably has little to no English and even less knowledge of the law - I'd imagine The Irish Refugee Council (one of the hundreds of NGO's that share €6bn pa iirc) headed up by Nick Henderson, brought the case for her. They probably told her what they were going to do and she said 'Yeah, whatever' - They [TIRC] are paid for by us and we've basically paid them to sue us with our own money and they lost. The good news is that everyone involved in the case got really well paid

My problem with this one (on the face of it) is with the grifting NGO's. They used our money to sue us, lost the case, and the money was redirected to lots of already rich people. It's some sort of a 'three card trick' at play

But she lost her case - why are you so angry? The overwhelming number of asylum seekers and refugees don't take legal action against the State : these types of cases are extremely unusual, perhaps one a year or something.

In the 1990s there was a huge conflict in Yugoslavia and Ireland didn't receive huge numbers of Yugoslavs. Similarly in the 1990s there was a Rwandan genocide and, again, no huge numbers of Rwandans arrived.

What has changed? Why is that when trouble flares up, no matter how unconnected to Ireland that may be that now in the 2023 we have "legal and moral duties"

Okay. You want Sudanese here. Clear space by deporting all the Pakistanis, Georgians, Albanians, Nigerians, Egyptians etc that patently have no reason to seek shelter.

Then maybe we could talk. But who are we kidding? That we way beyond the ability of those in charge

It’s genuinely annoying as a tax payer to see money squandered on a folly of this nature.

I’m sure many of us posting here work hard, in demanding jobs to support our families, raise young children, pay the mortgage etc. The entire social contract is predicated on paying taxes to ensure that services are available to those who contribute and indeed, those who are unable to contribute through no fault of their own.

Instead, we now have a situation where the health service is falling apart, the education system is significantly overstretched, and the housing market is dysfunctional. Whilst asylum seekers are not the root cause of all ills, the situation is exacerbated by individuals like this, who will never contribute to the system and instead abuse our generosity by taking spurious legal action, all of which is financed by the Irish taxpayer! It’s frankly insane.

I don’t care if it’s once a month or once a year. This type of egregious nonsense must be eliminated. I’ve said it before, but I suspect those who see no issue with any of this, are insulated from the fall-out and have no real stake in the future of this country. Particularly those who apparently have limitless time to downplay and to obfuscate online.

Because the total cost for this case is probably more than what most of us pay in a year in tax.

Our money is being wasted by people like NGO Nick, funded by the government, encouraging people to being bullshit cases and waste more money.

And honestly, keep the reporting of this coming. The more we know the better.

Quelle surprise

We’ve bent over and spread our arse cheeks to the world, and they’ll take us with relish.

Country of naive fools

This is absolutely insane. Ludicrous and he should be removed from his position immediately.

Between this BS and the group of degenerates on Mount Street with f***k irlanda and protesting to abolish the Dublin regulation III and that the IPO is racist,goes to show they have no regard for democracy and are leeches pure and simple. Welfare state and handouts.

I fear for my childrens futures and my retirement in 20 years time.

There are thousands of people who offered rooms for Ukrainians who haven't had their offer taken up, so I'm sure they'll all be willing to take Sudanese refugees instead. Have the Sudanese flags appeared on Facebook yet?

Matt Cooper had a couple of guests on to discuss this (both pro immigration of course)

Summary, there’s no way this will be a pull factor,no chance people will come to a country that has a legal obligation to house them or face paying compensation

Also most of the accommodation being provided is of an emergency type, we need to be building more permanent housing for refugees. Also that the standard of accommodation being provided is not of a high enough standard.

I give up, we’re fcuked, May as well start shipping in the Sudanese now
