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

There's some speculation that Ukraine will give notice to EU countries to return fighting age males so they can be drafted into the war. I would think that would be a lawful order that the Eu might have to honour. Afterall, Ukrainians are here on the basis of an 'EU Temporary Directive' and not via the same Asylum process that other international refugees take, so the Geneva convention of not returning refugees to a war zone may not apply.

Checks are only done after suspected criminal activity in Ireland. Well after the horse, or violent criminal, or repeat sexual offender in another country has had a chance to bolt.

I bet the F A R I G H T buttons on your keyboard are really faded

Interpol and Europol systems are not employed to run background criminal checks on asylum seekers.

Interpol, for example has 19 databases so when you read that someone is being run through Interpol, it could be to just check against registered false documents, or to run fingerprints for an outstanding warrant, with no check on background criminality.

Considering we opted out of the SIS EU criminal background check, I’d be very surprised if we were using any other system to check the criminal history of asylum seekers.

Until, that is, someone transgress the laws in this country. From countries with no, or poorly maintained, sex offender, violent reoffended register, then we hope to count ourselves lucky that their misdemeanour doesn’t ruin the life of a loved one.

The Direct Provision System was created to make if harsher for refugees to stay here and to put the word out that we're not a good place to seek asylum.

Maybe I have different memories to you, but I don't remember ever there being a pro refugee sentiment in Ireland. We did it because of international law. That's all.

The levels of opposition now has got out of control. The government needed to introduce stricter measures for refugees coming here much much earlier.

By the way refugee centres were burned down prior to this period. In 2018 or 19, wasn't a refugee centre burned down in Roscommon.

well roderick o’gorman is a green minister and is in charge. sticking to the task like phil hogan did on water. his lack of communication and dogmatic attitude is befitting of a politician that’s never had a senior brief before, immigration a hot topic, it’s divisive. he is making a balls of it. so yes it’s green party driven agenda. after all their dear leader thinks the population should be 8 million.

This country has a woeful history when it comes to Human Rights - Laundries etc etc - how many people left and went to build their lives in the UK etc?. The govt. is still trying to get financial compensation for the survivors of Laundries etc. The last thing we need is a drift back to the right.

Cool story. Where do the colourfully dressed women with multiple kids and unemployed husbands that are everywhere around Moore Street/North Earl Street come from (not being more specific as the post will be deleted/warned because you cant point this fact out). I suppose they are all gainfully employed pension contributers.

Or the scumbag Jozef Pulska and his unemployed in a free 5 bed house family. Stellar non dregs those. Or how about the one that killed the two guys in Sligo, living in a council house paid for by us, while hiding 375k under a mattress.
