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

I was watching the Six One news on RTE 1 and the sports segment came on. They were talking about the possibility of 14 new free-to-air sports events. Sounds great, I was thinking. 😃 9 of which would be women's sports. Well that didn't last long. 😟

Tell me, and this applies to all the others so interested in protecting us from "unvetted migrants"...

What other campaigns around sexual violence have you been involved with?

It's at comedy level now with every single politician interviewed in the media going on a tangent talking about dark forces to avert talking about the reasons for the increasing number of protests across the country.

You'd think Green party TD's of all would be advocating for less rather than more.

You keep on posting the same thing over and over, even though it has been shown his statistics work!

This doesn't mean that Afghanistan men are more likely to be sexual offenders😂

It's statistics of what happened in 2017. Can you tell us how many Afghanistan men lived in Finland in 2017?

Roderic said on the radio today plans for reception centres will come to Cabinet "in the coming weeks".

Is this really acceptable?

How is he escaping criticism for his failings?

People talking about vetting -

How some posters are turning a blind eye to this is completely bonkers!

Many countries/unions around the world request vetting to stop

. People smugglers

. Terrorists

. Dangerous offenders

. Bad actors

It's a very basic ask to protect our society, it shouldn't be a left vs right debate! The points some posters mentioned about "John" in Cork isn't vetted" is mind boggling, countries don't vet their citizens(Maybe N.Korea) they arrest/monitor them should they break the law.

RTE radio Colm O'Mongain(can link this if asked) interviewed a psychologist the past weekend whom helped fleeing refugees. Colm mentioned some Women/females could be concerned regarding the attitudes some refugee's may have towards them, psychologist skipped over the question imo.

In Sweden, male refugees from different cultures are entered into educational programs regarding society/cultural norms etc...Hopefully we're providing the same educational values to refugees when people are arriving here but I'm not holding my breath. Government have created a complete shitshow created tensions/fear within communities.

Mentioned before on here, Immigration is a must but this government needs to stop finger pointing/name calling and take some responsibility. Same I find in here, some very good points are discussed but theirs nothing but name calling/ finger pointing its pretty childish.

A minority in our own country in less than 30 years - how disgusting.

The most anti Irish government since the foundation of the state.

"Fine Gael" my arse.

Cuddihy and Coleman et al spend their time tut-tutting and labelling anyone with genuine concerns as at best, deluded and mistaken and at worst the usual brickbat of "far right".

At least Pat Kenny asks a few tough questions instead of nodding along to whichever government representative's waffle and Barry Whyte comes out with some insightful and balanced viewpoints.

Good to see the folks in Roscrea are talking no crap from D4 heads in RTE trying to bait them in interviews.

Kinda funny they asked Michael O Keefe who would be one of the people they say is far right could they use the videos he filmed in Roscrea and ended up looking a bit red faced when he made the tweet public.

Green Party Joe O'Brien was on the Six One news today talking about protesting communities "literally rolling out the red carpet to bad actors and to people with potential criminal intent". He doesn't care about the people of Roscrea, he's just interested in the welfare of the migrants. He was asked, "Do you understand though why the residents in Roscrea would be angry, or would be upset, about the only hotel they have in the town, a place where they have weddings, people had jobs, that's now being taken away from them?"

His response, "I can understand why people might be angry, I can understand why people might be upset, I can understand why people might have questions, BUT(that's enough about the people of Roscrea, right? Back to pontificating on behalf of the asylum seekers, even though that wasn't part of the question or who you were elected to represent), I frankly, I don't understand why people might feel it's appropriate to intimidate vulnerable people, vulnerable families, who are looking for protection, who are trying to get into shelter, and trying to get into their home."

I read he's Minister of State at the Department of Rural and Community Development with special responsibility for Community Development and Charities. Well done Joe, what a great job you're doing for the electorate. 🙄 I must watch the interview again more closely.

I hate the condescending $h1t€ that oozes out of Leo and Michael's holes, about the boogey "right wing" man. The people of Roscrea are ordinary Irish people, they're not some crazed right wing vigilantes, they are not "intimidating vulnerable people" and they are protesting peacefully. Or how the government must double down on their efforts of educating Irish people that all this neverending immigration is perfectly fine.

Were afghanis and Iraqis 40 times more likely than native finns to commit sexual offences in 2017? Yes or no?

It doesn't matter.

Because for all we know there were zero Afghanistan men that sexually assaulted anyone in any other years. That's how statistics work.

How many Afghanistan makes were in Finland in 2017? Without that info we're done here.

Yeah & what’s really eye opening is the patterns here, it’s like somebody has all of them in their back pocket.

Huge problems In all these organisations we haven’t even heard of yet!
