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

Sure thing! Bunch of malcontents always looking for someone or something else to blame for their own shortcomings. Same as those clowns rioting and looting Dublin and attacking the same Gardaí they wanted to protect them from the big bad brown people.

It was earmarked for Irish homeless.

People burning down buildings in case they might be used to house refugees.

Serious question: does any poster here agree with the physical act of burning that pub in Ringsend?

I don't want to hear any cause and effect rhetoric. I am talking about whether you agree with the act itself. Whether you think arson is progress in the "cause".

Anyone?

Not at all , but I don't believe it will be an isolated incident, while people are angry and protests continue there will surely be a certain group doing things like this especially now it has happened twice and the idea has been planted. Government needs to realise why it has happened instead of expressing regret on social media. But I don't think there's a way to defend burning buildings

there’s no squaring the circle now under these circumstances. we need a pause on everything to get our **** together, even at that we probably won’t get it together. international obligations and all that which it seems is more important than any government or country.

Thus god awful government especially o’gorman varadker and martin have manage to trump the god awful government of ff/greens during the crash and to trump hogan / ak during the water charges. they are talking to the irish people like shite.

Seeing why something is happening and pointing the finger at the source of the why it’s occurring is a lot different to condoning these burning of buildings which is obviously criminal action.

I don't think this is doing the anti-refugee groups any favours though. The more these attacks go on, the more the general public will start to associate the protests with criminality and thuggery.

Yeah I know but I want to see who actually condones it. Not a single person it would seem. Great to see.

i’ll make sure i’ll asterix it every time use it

GAG

"Did you hear the news the other day?"

"Yes, it triggered my GAG reflex."

Are you saying this in hope? I never got the impression here that you were in any way associated with the groups you describe. So why would you be bothered?

I certainly don't condone arson. We can see that some others view it as the solution that removes the problem.

Let's give Alan Dukes (FG) some credit...

"A glorious, god-awful mess has been made of Irish Water. We've ended up with a system now that no rational person would have invented if they had sat down to put this kind of system together. The hope must be that it will work lamely until some sort of coherent system is put in place."

Same principles apply to our immigration system.

What happens when the citizens on the whole in an area don't agree with 'the law'??

We govern by consent in this country, we don't govern by crushing protest. At least not currently, so watch the space and let's see if the real 'far right' tendencies manifest themselves in the coming year.

There is something a bit peculiar going on in Ireland that doesn't appear to be happening elsewhere. Regular arson attacks on refugee centres (or places designated as refugee centres), roadblocks by 'concerned citizens'....none of this stuff appears to be happening in Britain, ostensibly a more right wing country with a very right wing media.
