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

Might we just need more GPs?

How much have waiting times increased in relation to the population increase brought about by refugees?

I'd wager a pretty penny the figures don't come close to matching.

such a party might win votes country wide from the far right and those they whip up certainly but here is the thing, they ain't giving you what you want either.

the tories aren't going to control immigration, if they were then they would have resourced the perfectly good system they had properly and increased resources, but instead they defunded it to create a crisis to whip up the only support base they actually have now because general tories are sick of them and their crap.

the tory party are not centre right and haven't been since 1979, they are a fully right party who bankrupt a country and throw away money on tax cuts for the rich while not investing in the country.

leo is correct that one can't vito who lives in their area, that's how it should be, areas can't stay the same indefinitely, that's just not realistic.

the reason buses of refugees are having to be brought in in the middle of the night is because of the violent far right, because dispite the fact dialogue is being had, the far right are whipping up people who believe crap on facebook.

How much did the population increase by?

I'd guesstimate a 2 percent population increase in the last few years due to protection seekers, that's what's broken health and housing?

Nonsense

The Minister for Integration will be the position nobody wants, kind of like what Health and Housing has been up to now

Will be interesting to see if the shinners are in power after the next election if one of them volunteers to take it.

We’ve had a near 2% increase in population in the last year from protection seekers alone - that’s a massive jump in so short a time.

Nobody is blaming refugees for the state of housing and the healthcare system, but please explain to me how adding tens of thousands of people into these already strained systems won’t make things even worse?

Not only are we spending billions on all these newcomers, it also means more competition for scarce housing etc for us i.e. the people that are paying for all of this in the first place. It’s a lose lose for Irish taxpayers.

You might be on to something there

Last Feb the situation was like this below - Gannon (SD's) had to drag this info out of Rodders

DL post code is A96 I believe and doesn't register. AS's and not UA's

D14 was doing really well at a massive 0.1% and Balbriggan too (which is interesting)

Why is O'Gorman still in charge of housing refugees? A first term Green TD. How is he qualified for this role during a housing crisis? Why aren't the other cabinet members standing up to help and formulate a credible plan or policy? The experienced FFG boyos are keeping the head down. He has asked for assistance and was ignored. Why is that?

Alleged ...by whom ?

And we have our own to worry about in Tallaght , don't you know ..

Lucas on the tonight show VMTV 1.

Because of Irish he lost his document from Brazil and Portugal.?

"Irish tax payers" include non nationals by the way. An estimated 500,000 workers and tax payers are immigrants (2022 figures).

Agreed, put all the AS centres in south Dublin.

Or spread them throughout the city and country

No, better to put them in areas where they are welcome
