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

Why don't you address the fact that we're full, we're handing out tents. Our services are either collapsed or near collapse. We have done our bit for the size of our country so stop with your nonsense about us not wanting immigrants. Why don't you state how many more this country can take in without a total collapse of all services and like. State a number.

Simple. Our services including housing cannot cope with the population boom this government has caused.

Services should of been put in place and properly resourced before this government ran population boom proceeded. Including proper holding facilities and proper immigration controls

When the Ukraine crisis started all other apart from essential migration should of stopped to allow for influx of war refugees. But saying this the payments should of been seriously managed better.

Our services will never ever recover no matter how much money is spent while we keep swamping them and demand massively overtakes demand.

What needs done is a total cessation to uncontrolled immigration, only skilled migrants should be allowed entry to help build services. No more uncontrolled immigration until the proper services are put in place and Irish citizens needs are treated and met.

Being proactive instead of reactive

Maybe ask the good people of Foxrock, Goatstown or Malahide etc... why they don't want to live among them.

There are parts of the UK I know well that have been utterly destroyed by immigration. Go to Bradford, Birmingham, London to name but a few and then come back to me and tell me why most don't want to live with every Tom, Dick and Harry from the 3rd world next door to them.

Immigration is great, when it's the right type of immigrants who are carefully picked for skills that will enhance our country for everyone but especially for native Irish people but as we know you included this isnt what is occuring at present.

People like you will be scratching their heads in a few years time when the far right take government in this country because decisions on limiting numbers won't be made now by this weak as hell government.

I'm a nationalist btw and make no apology for it.

Great post. Just on the final bullet point, there's a very good reason why some counties are underpopulated. No well paying jobs in those areas and so young people have to leave for Dublin, Galway, Limerick, or Cork or wherever. Just dumping vulnerable asylum seekers and refugees into these towns isn't going to magically reverse their fortunes. You hear all the time the good news stories about the arrival of Ukrainian refugees helping to save some rural school threatened with closure. But these schools are being saved totally at the tax payer's expense in the form of the welfare payments and accommodation provided to the Ukrainians.

Denmark and Sweden have definitely changed the mood music around asylum claims and are now seeing significantly lower asylum claims per capita than Ireland. That's a complete reversal of previous trends.

Yes and if the government hadn't of made such a mess of this and totally disregarded the Irish citizens the buildings would probably still standing today. Total mismanagement and disregard for the people of Ireland is the reason so in my opinion the blame lyes totally at the feet of this government.

Probably why they are not interested in pursuing convictions.

Totally madness to turn our capital city into a third world refugee camp.

God help anyone who relies on tourism and not to mention the shops in our city.

Totally pathetic what the government is doing.

It doesn't get any simpler. There is no plan.

That's what I find amusing about this constant bleating of "misinformation" and " disinformation". What does anyone need to know beyond the fact that there is a mass arrival of people with not a foggiest notion of what to do about it?

What are the government going to "better communicate"?

The reality is that they don't have anything to communicate!

Another bit of logic is that if they are going to build x amount of detention centres and then have to call it quits once they're full....why not just call it quits now and save the waste of time and money and effort?

The whole thing is a sickening joke.
