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

Your medal is in the post.

Explain to me how you prove that Jimmy had documentation in France if you don't know Jimmy's name and he has no passport? He could have easily flown from there on false or stolen documentation. France will just say "not our problem - he has no right to be here. Back to Dublin with him".

To be honest with you I've seen enough local scumbags since I moved to Dublin from the countryside that I'd love to put them on a boat somewhere and take a chance on a few immigrants to replace them. If I could replace everyone that was at the anti immigration parade in Dublin recently with a new immigrant I would take that immediately. I'm not sure why Dublin is so bad but there really is a lot of the lowest forms of human here despite everything being available to them to lead good lives.

back to the country he came from

Have you examples of other asylum hotel contracts which weren't renewed?

Or it could be employment they want also. Or they could have family here. Is there any particular reason you think every single person claiming asylum wants to sit on their ass for the rest of their life and never work?

Some very dubious people have bought large properties and where actually given contracts for homeless Hubs and refugee centres.

It wouldn't be beyond possibility that some of those dubious people would then engineer a situation where the building was burnt down to cash in on insurance or get new Planning on development that would have been previously refused.

As someone who was involved in exposing criminal ownership of a facility which was granted a contract to be a homeless hub and suffered treats from the owner and associates of the individuals involved I can tell you there is no accountability or background checks done into the owners and service providers of these facilities. Local community are made out to be the bad people for raising objections and concerns. There was zero consequences for those in authority who granted the contract even after CAB where involved.

I don't know what happened in Galway but I wouldn't jump to a conclusion that local people where involved. While a criminal act might have been committed it could very well have been something else none of you are talking about because you're all distracted.

Ask yourself, where the hell was the security at the hotel ? That fire looks very extensive like someone took their time and knew what they where doing. For those criminally minded with money and means it would be easy to blame racist locals and cash in on insurance. It might not be the case here but you can be sure there are criminal ownerships and involvement in refugee centres and homeless Hubs throughout this country.

I feel that these anti-refugee fanatics are basically anti everyone who does not conform to their views ... they are part of a much bigger problem and one with funding from abroad linked into other fanatic entities like the Trump base et al ... they are all puppets for a global sinister org that does not have the best wishes of the people anywhere at heart ...

Some people may have legit concerns about things ... for example long lockdowns back in 2020 and 2021 ... but these guys hijacked these legit concerns and the legit annoyance of the public over what became prolonged oppressive restrictions on movement outside 5Km and the like ... the govt got this end of Covid policy VERY WRONG and gave these far right thugs a cause ...

People listened to them during Covid and some got poisoned by their lies ... anti gay, anti foreigner, anti trans, anti this, anti that ... they are full of negativity and hate and feed on this ... they blame migrants for all the crime ... funny thing is I was in Dublin back in the summer and was in part of it full of criminals and guess what? They were all clearly Irish, openly talking their drug dealing lingo and issuing threats to each other not caring if the rest of us heard them or not .... all white Irish with inner city Dublin accents !! ... I guess the far right brigade will never mention this ... I guess these Irish thugs would be part of any far right violence against migrants though ...

Burning hotels, buses, garda cars, etc. and intimidating people and worse is what needs a zero policy ... suppose if refugees were no longer around ... these far right thugs would find another cause to hone in on ... eventually they'd get around to us all ... first the criminals ... everyone says: they deserve it .... then migrants: everyone says there are too many .... then gays .... the rest say well we are ok .... then travellers .... the rest say at least they are leaving the settled alone .... then non-Christians .... the rest say ok we will be fine as long as we go to mass .... then people who don't want children ... then the sick ... then the elderly ... then anyone who speaks out ... then anyone who won't fight their wars .... this is where this ends because this is what the far right stand for .... fearmongering then oppression then war ....

They clearly have that fear in some already .... Enoch Burke? Why is he willing to do time for the far right?? ... why is this intelligent man willing to spend as long as it takes in jail over a trivial matter ?? ... well he clearly is afraid of someone other than the Irish Prison Service .... Burke got sucked in and now he cannot leave because he is afraid of those overlords and rightly so ... they are dangerous violent terrorists and nothing else with powerful connections to heavyweights like the US Republican Party ...

if you hear of magic beans white paper telling you once you get here you’ll have your own front door in three months… that’s why they are coming here because they know once the passport is flushed they will be ok with the likely outcome they won’t get deported. They might even end up like lucky in charge of their own NGO.

Well, if they're not supposed to stay in the area then that makes a nonsense of your previous point that the government places them in rural areas so that they'll integrate. Surely they'll all just drift to the nearest urban area and end up forming the very ghettos that you say the government is cleverly avoiding.

I agree. If it were me I'd also try and get to a thriving economy and English speaking might help. I'd say the ones coming from UK also want EU access to give them more options.

Ah Jaysus, why are some people on this thread so vague? Who should get medals? Spit it out
