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

yeah i'm not going to argue with someone defending an angry mob attacking and burning out a camp as if it's the only option

Well I keep reading today about the concerned locals having been present that were worried about their women and children. I was actually there briefly and I doubt the gang of rowdy teenagers screaming abuse bussed in for the event were from elsewhere either.

It's an awful situation that people were camping there in the first place, but it's horrible behaviour to intimidate and attack a camp like that and I can't believe people are defending it in any way.

so it's your opinion that homeless people should be moved on by any means by people living locally?

This guy says it's the locals protesting, the people of Pearse St Dublin 2

again, you think local people should be allowed remove homeless people by force if they feel like it?

Unfortunately when the country ran out of physical accommodation the government didn't shut up shop while we got our house in order.

This will get a lot worse very quickly. 100's arriving every couple of weeks who have nowhere to go except the streets.

It will be like parts of LA or Italian transport termini very soon.

Tragic for Dublin really, what's coming before the end of the summer.

No one able to say stop.

Sad thing is, as you say, it's not a joke. That literally is normality around there. Many older residents in the area have been terrified for years.

Where is the attention for that? This trouble only reaches the media because it's supposedly about immigrants. In reality most there just wanted a scrap and smash things up.

Precisely…

there needed to be breathing space…unfortunately, come one, come all and be given everything from housing, healthcare, childcare, homecare and the taxpayers cash is too lucrative a pitch… and we are literally, paying the price.

What should happen next to the shanty town? Should the council bring portaloos and bins? You must have some idea?

You're 100% certain that the shanty town should not have been dismantled. We’ve already established that the authorities don’t have anywhere for these gentlemen to live because if they did then the shanty town wouldn’t exist. Do you not think that it would be a good idea to move the the occupants to a safe green area in a more affluent suburb of Dublin where the locals are less stressed less unhappy with life and more likely to be welcoming of the asylum seekers? Give them individual tents, portaloos, bins, portable showers, a generator, disposable BBQs etc. It’s coming into the summer so it should be fine. It’s no doubt better then the war torn hell holes they’ve escaped from, I’m sure.

Palmerston Park in D6 is lovely. I doubt if any of the skangers will be bothered to go all the way there. If the shanty town gets bigger, a shanty towns always do, there should be plenty of room.

Just from talking to people during my work today...

ppl can completely understand why the locals don’t want a makeshift campsite outside their doors - full of unvetted men of unknown origins.

most ppl support the locals and say good on them

Imagine opening your front door and some oddball who won’t say: where he is from or why he is in Ireland

has set up a campsite in your front garden....

There are abandoned buildings all over dublin and Ireland I'm afraid.

Dismantling the camp was Enoch Burke level of strategy for solving a problem. It is pretty hard racism for the government to intentionally take in refugees and force them to live on the streets.

If only the people protesting the people protesting the shanty town would redirect the homeless gentlemen to a pleasant green area near to themselves where they could throw a protective eye over them and demand that their local TD/councillor provide temporary toilets showers bins etc. until such a time as derelict buildings near them can be converted for use, far from the inner city savages who would do them wrong.

so the country is 50% short having enough GPs for the current population….and GPs overworking as it is….

but…’no limits’

a fûcking crazy as shît time to be alive, nutsville…. Absolute complete derogation of responsibility and loyalty on behalf of our elected and publicly funded politicians… country is being run by absolute tyrannical woke despotic chancers.

this is only the beginning, tip of the iceberg.

The place was set on fire, lads. Ffs like.

I couldn't care less about the shanty towns. But they will never cause as much of a problem to Irish society as the jobless wonders have in Dublin's South inner city. The government should focus on cleaning on those areas ans that would have a far great benefit to everyone.

Absolutely, because giving free houses to the moncler brigade in wealthy areas is exactly what they deserve for racking up 100+ convictions. Maybe the government should set up a system where if you get 200 convictions you get a penthouse in Dalkey? Brilliant idea. 😂

You're really mistaken if you believe all the people there yesterday in support of the refugees are filthy rich or living in swanky areas.

That's a very good point. Why have the government allowed these scum turn areas like Dublin south inner city into no go areas? Its the revolving door that the moncler brigade are constantly allowed walk-through when it comes to 100+ convictions. The only the sense of "community" that has developed there is a community of crime and criminals. It needs to be dismantled.

Says a lot about the warped mentality that the solution to no-go areas and hostility is to focus on removing the people being attacked rather then the attackers.

And none of the well off people I know in East Wall/North Strand area had any problems with or were out protesting against the DP centre there. Again it's only local violent people you have to worry about in these areas if the news is anything to go by.
