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

Look at Sweden's crime stats. Look at Cologne on New Year's Eve several years ago. Look at the general attitude to women or LGBT in the Arab and Maghreb countries. Why would you want to import people with those attitudes?

so you don't know how many Afghanistan men were in Finland in 2017, but you just make up a number of between 5,000 & 8,000.

based on what exactly?! Nothing!

you don't know how many were there in 2017.

Answer this one for me please;

Are IPAs more, equally or less likely to land at Dublin Airport with no identification, than every other category of traveller? (per 1,000 people lets say)

What are you posting a nationality score chart from Finland from ? Irrelevant . Who did they attack ? What was the relationship to the perpetrator...that's the point ?

Here" s what I was talking about ...women being attacked by their own families , friends ...75% know their attacker . Not strangers, not single "unvetted males " .

If your statistics or the RCC's show those trends changing in the future then I am listening..

But as another poster put it well ..

"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?" @Working class heroes

Egyptian asylum seeker on Prime Time advising other asylum seekers not to come here.

But he says he's not going home.

Roscrea protestors are absolute legends.

If illegal mass immigration had benefits - RTE would show and tell them daily.

If the government buys an abandoned hotel for the community which is being proposed tonight, this is completely bonkers.

Surely they could just use the disused hotel for the refugees.

Madness.

Quite a balanced piece so far and trying to see things from the point of view of protesters.

I didn't realise Mattie McGrath has gone full on fruitcake / loon though - repeating stuff about Ireland being 'colonised' and Varadkar, Martin and McDonald taking their orders from the 'WEF'.

The government policy is the fault here.

The government keep picking country hotels and ruining small towns.

Where are these reception centres?

Now they will offer it but at the last minute declare it emergency accommodation

Jesus, this bloke on Prime Time is having a mare. This is car crash material.

Buying a hotel for the community is Father Ted stuff.

Farce.

You mean the figures from this Tabloid article which somebody has listed on Wikipedia as Finnish Police statistics.

The point is some people like to talk about fake stats from Nordic countries as evidence of a supposed risk from Asylum Seekers. I thought that was clear.

Ah, I see what you did there, and yes I see how someone could deduce that based on nothing but statistics.

But asylum seekers have reasons, as posted previously for not producing travel documents.

It's not the same at all as saying , e.g. 30 Afghanistan men committed rapes, and there were 1000 Afghanistan men there, therefore they are more likely to commit rapes, then local men. It just means that particular year had 30 Afghanistan male sexual offenders.

You can't compare statistics and figures like that. If I said in 2019 there were more burglars from longford then any other county, you can't decide there are more under 17s in Csrlow likely to leave school early.

I'll make the point again...

You mean the stats from a tabloid newspaper article, the author of which even qualified that are not representative?
