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

was looking at the comments on the RTE news clip of the racists in Roscrea. the spelling is something else 😂

So that's all you have ..nothing else? ..that's a bit sad and awful alright .

People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

its better than throwing them at refugee kids.

I was so fully behind Ukrainians coming originally, I was very proud of our country but then it starts going down hill as you learn more and more about the knock on affects of all this on communities just like Roscrea. We were not ready for this at all!!!

The government are completely to blame for all this mess. Ireland took in far to many Ukrainians and what really pisses me off is the 232 euro per week, you might as well be putting out the red carpet. Of course Ukrainians would leave other safer countries just to take advantage.

Those people in Roscrea are not "racist" or "Far Right", What they got today was a riot squad coming in and using bully boy tactics and riling the whole situation up. This whole mess goes back to the riots in Dublin and the Government/Gardai wanting to show who's in charge....

Roscrea no longer has a hotel, effectively their community center is gone, no tourists can stay. I live close to Roscrea and you can see the impoverish conditions caused by years and years of neglect by the Government and now they've taken away their only hotel in the town, it's soul destroying for the residents.

Things are going to get a lot worse for the wider asylum seekers as the UK is starting to hammer down, we on the other hand are getting their cast offs and it feels like we are welcoming them with open arms.

We all hear the stories about burning passports or "Missing passports" or Asylum Seekers come across in a truck and now off you go we wont be tracking you/seeing what you're up to.

We barely send any failed asylum seekers back and just ask them nicely to leave, HA!

I have no "Far Right" views what so ever but this Government wants to label anyone who voices their concerns/rejections to their shambolic immigration plan as Far Right is disgusting and counter productive. Are you telling me it's Far Right to think we shouldn't be taking in more people as we have a housing crisis, our rural towns don't have the resources to handle the influx due to Government under funding local authorities for years (Go to Tipp Town and see what I mean) or the security concerns.

Ireland needs a wake up call. it's a calamity waiting to happen.

No one can know one way or another But when you have public representatives that are not bound by a party freely speaking out you can safely assume that the protest has significant support on the ground.

Has any local politician of any party condemned the protesters? The speed of a good fulsome condemnation is also a good measure of feeling on the ground.

Fact of the matter: a bumrush of migration into the country has left it reeling with infrastructural problems.

Speculation of the matter: that bumrush has proven to be a serious money maker for a few people with strong connections to those allowing that bumrush. Motive and means, they are connected.

Fact of the matter: so serious has this situation been allowed devolve, the government are battling Irish people over single buildings in small towns. I can't overstate the implications of this severity.

Speculation on the matter: there is going to be a very severe escalation of violence.

One hardly needs a crystal ball. And on whose shoulders does the current and future blame lie? On those who have created, with passion, the circumstances that can only have lead to violence. No more than beating a large dog with a stick has its inevitably built in, so too does this.

Who verbally abused you?

You have been asked 4 times now to provide evidence of your claims and continue to refuse to do so. You are trying to paint a picture of popularity of your own view point and failing at doing so. You haven't a clue what anyone in county Tipperary thinks - admit it or share the evidence.

Your claim:

"The regular people of Tipperary are overwhelmingly against this and protests like this.”

Sorry straz, but your credibility at this stage, is in the gutter - you said this earlier -

This is the third time I've pulled you up on this claim - The first 2 times you posted it, it could have been classed as misinformation, but to say it a third time (having seen proof that it is false) is disinformation. Why do you keep saying it when I've proved to you twice that it's false?

You might take note that Irish buyers are reducing (I don't personally care who is buying btw, just stating facts)

Not withstanding... If they didn't even buy they must live somewhere and a house is a house (rented, bought or from the housing authority) is still one less house in the overall stock of houses.

I would say illegal immigration currently has a negligible impact on housing but to say it has none is disinformation as you point out.

You think 75% of people in Ireland are angry with the government, the Dáil, the MSM and the Gardai over refugees? This is in a country that doesn't even have any history or tradition of right wing or far right politics, unlike many countries in Europe. There isn't even a single openly right wing or anti-refugee TD in the Dáil in 2024.

I did not take part in the poll but there is what 1000 people thought ^

In a poll of 1,000 voters, some 75% of those polled agreed with the statement “I think the number of refugees Ireland is taking in is now too many”, while 19% disagreed with the statement.
