Immigration to Ireland - policies, challenges, and solutions *Read OP before posting*

"described overcrowding in jails as the worst he has seen in more than 32 years"

"This level of overcrowding only increases levels of violence"

"said a consequence of an increased population is more people going to prison and the Department of Justice has not planned properly for this."

"The POA described the current penal policy as one of "Pack 'em, Stack 'em and Rack 'em", with single cells doubled up, mattresses on floors, and the prisoner population going through the roof with the only solution appearing to be the purchase of bunk beds."

Sounds awful familiar. Replace a few words here and there, and you could be talking about housing, healthcare, education and so.

Speaking of healthcare..

"The emergency department of University Hospital Galway was found to be “grossly overcrowded".

"The Hiqa report stated that the closure of a number of local nursing homes was also impacting on the ability to transfer patients out of the hospital."

"There were 11 active nursing homes converted into accommodation for Ukrainian refugees before the practice was banned, it has emerged."

"this decision would be reviewed “given the changing situation with regard to accommodation for persons under temporary protection”."

Seems to be a very common thread between all these issues that keep mentioning the effects of overcrowding.

You are ignoring practically every current problem and it's easily detectable cause in order to talk about wildly unrelated events from the last century.

There's no point talking about an economic crash when the entire purpose of the economy has disappeared already.

The societal implications of this migrant-fuelled economy are already deeply detrimental. The rapidly increasing "gdp" is, as said, a symptom of overpopulation.

In other words, the economy is not fit for purpose.

As to the the point on there not being enough this and that, in itself a direct consequence of overpopulation, well all that proves is that we are beyond capacity. And nothing more.

If x amount of homes, evidently, from years upon years of experience, cannot be built to satisfy this imported population, then it can't be done. It is what it is.

Therefore, please stop importing more and more people, Mr government.

Again I'll use the same tidbit of information. 29k dwelling completions, 44k French passport holders in same period. French alone. Pick any year from the last near decade and you'll see precisely the same number disparancy. Extend that to every myth of migrant-led population growth, from "it'll save the pensions" to "it'll improve healthcare" to "imported builders will solve housing".

It's demonstrable insanity.

Pleading for more of the same, and/or remonstrating that if we change course will somehow make it worse is definitive pyramid selling.

It's gobsmackingly simple to understand.

Further to the point of the failure of this migrant-fueled economy, a plucked definition.

"Economic growth increases state capacity and the supply of public goods. When economies grow, states can tax that revenue and gain the capacity and resources needed to provide the public goods and services that their citizens need, like healthcare, education, social protection and basic public services."

Clearly, I repeat, clearly, this false economy is delivering precisely the OPPOSITE of its purpose.

Terrible ideas lead to terrible results. No surprises.

Overpopulation has led us to where we are. Depopulation is the only solution.

Well we could build underwater city domes in theory too. The more salient point is that we don't.

It's funny how the government hasn't bothered to build more homes, yet has bothered to import more and more people year on year.

Very "funny".

All I'm seeing is you vouching for a pyramid scheme. "If we don't get more people in, the pyramid will collapse". Yes, it will. It also IS collapsing anyway. That's what makes it a con.

If x homes can't be built, then x amount of people shouldn't have been imported. Year after year.

As to the financialisation and hyper inflation of life-necessary assets, you're right. However the part you're missing is that in order to hyper-inflate, one must introduce hyper-demand. And guess how that has been done?

As said, gobsmackingly easy to understand.

And again as said, the "economy" is demonstrably a failure in its purpose.

My data is precisely the same as yours, the difference is that you are ignoring the actual implications and logical conclusions of the information.

Here's the question to answer: HOW have life-necessary assets been inflated?

Looking at the information, it is has been the introduction of a gigantic increase in population tied with an entirely insufficient supply of societal infrastructure.

You can't hyper inflate without hyper demand.

When 29k homes are built in a year, and 44k French people alone are allowed move here.....that's no accident.

Overpopulation.
