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

You misunderstand - There are plenty of 'asylum seekers' in south Dublin. As much if not more than other areas. But, as said, do go off on one.

If it's a council property and they're selling drugs, the council can evict them.

No evidence of criminality among the asylum seekers : it's literally the far right on social media accusing them of all sorts before they even arrive at their accommodation.

To be honest, yes it was. We know the Irish government don't do that sort of long term planning. They let things happen and just blame others if it doesn't work out.

It’s a fine looking building in a lovely area. There must be serious money exchanging hands if it’s more lucrative for the owners to house asylum seekers than to turn it into luxury apartments in what is one of the most expensive areas of real estate in Dublin.

To be specific, no community has the power to veto anyone moving into their area : it has never happened in Ireland before now. The reason quite a few people end up with 'neighbours from hell' is precisely because of that lack of veto.

The next election will be won and lost on this issue, it is connected to housing as well as being an issue in its own right and will sway many seats in tight constituencies. National Media are not giving an accurate feeling of people's opinions on the ground as they fear the government will hit their finances which they largely control though licence fee. Decent people with concerns can vote in private in the ballot box and that's where the response will be seen. This happened in many other countries like Sweden where the national media played down issues on behalf of the government and EU and now it's out of the bag and causing huge problems. It may not be Sinn Fein who win these seats as they can't hide and will be forced to be politically correct. The door will be open to many new faces in the dail and they might not all be very nice people or what's needed. But then again what's new? I wish we could look after genuine asylum seekers who are fleeing but not those who are here for benifits only. We have been hugely let down by politicians both nationally and in the EU.

History looks at events very broadly.

Broadly speaking, therefore, the Irish government allowed mass migration, both during and causing multiple crises, to such an extent that it has resulted in Irish people burning buildings across the country in order to stop the flow.

It sounds like a chapter of medieval Europe. History is going to be extremely unkind to those who back this farce, and I doubt this even qualifies as the tip of the iceberg in terms of consequence.

The only shame falls on those who created a situation so politically adrift from popular opinion that it results in such desperation.

Again, history deals in broad strokes, and the broad stroke is that irish people turned to burning buildings to stop the flow of unwanted migrants.

Iirc, some politician just recently said that we can expect an average of 15k refugees every year going forward.

Meanwhile there are some building plans afoot in dublin to build 40k homes with big cheers.

Well thats super. A few years worth of migrants to be housed. And then?

Anyone with a brain can see the disaster, now and ahead. The resistance and pushback is going to get many, many times worse, and history will explain it neatly in one sentence.

Theirs Travellers at it all over the country but the council don’t evict them ??

No.

The shame falls entirely on those created and supported a situation so dire that it has resulted in acts of desperation.

What you want is for irish people to do nothing, politely and inconsequentially, while the government thunders ahead with mass migration that hardly anyone wants in Ireland, to suffer the laughably obvious results of overcrowding in silence.

You're complaining about the reaction, while entirely skipping the cause.

I'm not complaining about the reaction. I am condemning the reaction because it is vigilante terrorism. Its shameful that you won't condemn it.

No. The shame falls entirely on those who created and supported this violently stupid situation.

Cause and effect.

I'm not going to criticise the ridiculously inevitable effects of an intolerable situation.

If some clown stocked a house with explosives, with faulty wiring and sparking switches everywhere, and then it blows up, I'm not going to bemoan the house exploding. I'm going to put the full weight of responsibility on the clown.

That the house blew up is simply an act of consequence, logical and predictable.
