Time for a zero refugee policy? - *Read OP for mod warnings and threadbans - updated 11/5/24*

Nah and no you don't have access to the vetting process,they are actually supposed to verify who you are and your actual medical qualifications,

Like hello

Garda vetting is for previous criminal convictions (which will show up on the Pulse system, including for non nationals).

People falsifying their educational qualifications or CV is a different subject and not really relevant to a discussion on refugees or immigrants. Literally any person in the country could have a go at trying to get hired to a position without any relevant qualifications or with a false identity and bogus documents.

In news the government is looking to charter flights for mass Deportations , don't get any hopes up over the word mass ,they will fly violent deportees on separate smaller flights which may include using the next Government lear jet the government hasn't bought yet ,

Suggestion instead of the a government jet you use a stripped out cargo aircraft with basic seats,if someone is violent they should be restrained using all available techniques to guarantee the safety of the crew and guards

New employees what about those already employed nothing in that on the extent of vetting for non EU . Does it extend outside the EU ?

You are talking crap. Garda vetting is done to investigate criminal records. That's it.

You claimed that

So because some foreigners have forged their qualifications means all foreigners have? Are you proposing all foreigners should be banned from working in the hse?

This is the other thing about Ireland - we are incapable of learning from the mistakes of others. More than that, we always have to add an "Irish twist" that makes the outcome even worse.

Take this situation... Like everywhere else we bring in Ukrainian refugees (no issue with that in principle), except that rather than learning from the other nations who set limits on entitlements and thus strain on their economy and infrastructure by controlling the intake/attractiveness of their offering, we announce that we'll accept as many as arrive and will offer them a benefits package designed to draw them like a magnet (in the middle of a cost of living and housing crisis no less).

Then, when the problems that were obvious emerge (not enough room at the inn and bills running into billions) what do we do? We start grabbing anything with a roof or even just fields to put these people in.

If it wasn't for the fact that we have elections this year and the party bosses are worried about the effect of the growing discontent among the peasants (eh, I mean electorate) will have on their chances then you can be guaranteed that things would have continued as is regardless of the effects on said people and our communities.

Instead we get ideologically driven politicians sent out to make noises about changing the criteria (and even then only for new arrivals) and other measures to get control of the situation - a situation they themselves caused and actively made worse at every opportunity over the last 2 years!

Will the electorate fall for it? That remains to be seen but I think there's such a broad sense of frustration and anger out there about it all (not seen since the Irish Water farce) that just maybe they will be held accountable this time.

Nobody said they did ....

Nice story

You did

It's a minor issue that can be easily resolved. If it bothers you that much write to your local TDs with the suggestion I gave you.

Its funny how whenever they want to bring in extra taxes such as water charges, property tax, sugar tax, this new Re-turn scheme, carbon taxes etc they are at pains to say how they have done detailed studies on how these things are standard in other countries but never for the things other countries do better for their population that might ,shock horror, actually cost some money such as proper public transport, well surfaced roads, state funded childcare, free healthcare, slashing duties on fuels during the peak of the cost inflation, removing VAT from construction costs, etc etc etc 🙄

Its really riled me up how they were able to bypass all planning regulations and find extra billions at the drop of a hat to house refugees but could never even dream of doing something similar for their own 😑

Feel free to do something constructive about it as per my suggestion 👍
