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

Thats correct, violence is never the answer.

Obviously you feel the same way when far left activists hit peaceful protesters with a car.

Haven't decided yet, few months still to make my mind up, but certainly not the current crowd

It'd be nice if people didn't feel the need to protest. The thing is areas where there were no protests have had to take far more people than those where there were protests. I'm thinking of North Clare as an example. Another issue is that the usual means for making an objection through the planning process has been removed. There is a vaccum.

It is awful to see people protesting in front of refugees, that is true, but it's reality now. I think it's inappropriate, if people want to protest they should do it at their TDs office.

Protesting outside a TDs office gets no results, even on the off chance he/she is there all you will get is waffle out of them promising to look into it and in reality nothing happens.

Yeah...Jean Claude Juncker a real good example of the endless Illuminati influence of the EU and the boundless powers of its shadowy elite. A man whose term of consolidating his immense power and furthering the aims of the Imperial European Union coincided with *checks notes* one of the three most powerful member states leaving the EU against his wishes and the wishes of the so-called elite.

Probably part of his master plan though I take it.

Looking over many threads including different websites,

Normal middle voting folk are seeking a mature approach to immigration, it's completely dumbfound the contempt our leaders are treating people on a daily basis. It's mind boggling it really it is with this open boarder policy, anyone denying that fact(we've a open boarder) is completely deluded.There's videos going around of some migrations guiding others on how to enter/work and live here. 1 case of a "asylum seeker" from India faking a hunger strike to stay in Ireland. Posters commenting that there's no issues with (or are pro) immigration I find are hugely smug/arrogant and quick to name calling imo

We have a spinless soft approach government that contain some so of the most in-depth clueless people on fixing or sorting out many issues. Relying on failed "Asylum seekers" to self deport, put a few extra Garda on the streets for "2 weeks" in Dublin to tackle crime, no plan for infrastructure housing been bought up by over-sea investors etc...

The media/ politicians/ most journalists are singing from the same hymn sheet while the normal folk are completely dissociated, lacking trust and starting to question the gas-lighting been spewed out non-stop since the protests begin.I voted civil rights for marriage/ amend the 8 for woman's rights and would call myself center left but I'm done with the open boarder brigade. The quick little smug comments on here belittling/name calling is not working, it'll push many to vote right.

It's ok to question immigration - It's not far-right to be against blatant economic opportunists arriving at our shores draining the tax payers money - And it's ok to seek a mature debate regarding our countries future, we've taken in hundreds of thousands of people the past 10 odd years!! crazy amount for a small nation while people here continue to argue we've more space, unbelievable or some hidden agenda behind that attitude imo!

Paul Murphy named 3 people using Dail privilege, for causing the fires.

Could this lead to the collapse in prosecutions?

Surely the men named by Paul Murphy can claim they won't get a fair trial.

Paul Murphy is a volatile dangerous attention seeker.

How do you vet some lad who arrives from say Somalia who has no paperwork to identify him?

It's misinformation.

FOI revealed that infact, Asylum Seekers are NOT checked against any criminal database.

Fingerprint scan, questionnaire, interview, compare what he says to international databases... You know, vetting...

A lot of young folks will always leave for a few years and most return.

Junior Doctors are poorly paid here and the govt could do more to support them financially.

The limited housing availability certainly pushes doctors, nurses and teachers abroad.

We need to build more homes and more infrastructure and we need migrant workers to do that.

This is all public sector speak though.

The private sector gives irish people opportunities they never would have had 20 years ago. There are so many MNCs here that career prospects in Ireland, especially Dublin, are fantastic.

As pointed out, these MNCs would not be here if we didnt have foreign labour, as there simply arent enough irish staff to do all the work.

There are, however, 10s of 1000s of irish people working here in MNCs.

They wouldnt have a job in ireland if it wasnt for the MNCs and their ability to attract foreign labour into ireland.

Her's your problem straight away.. Listening to fake claims and misinformation.

Go to recognised sources. eg CSO.

12% of our population in 2022 was foreign born.

It is estimated to have increased by a third of that since then , due to the Ukrainian war, so that would make it 16%? Only about 1% are asylum seekers, and all of you say ye have no problem with ordinary immigrants on visas or those already working here?

Hardly going to double our population now is it.

Also 60000 emigrated in 2022 and 23500 returned.

And population estimates at current rate of growth which everyone is saying is 'quite high ' is believed to be another 35 years before we hit 6 million.

Certainly should try to sort our housing and services before that .

So take heart Gatling, we are not going to be wiped out as a race anytime soon.

How would a lad coming from Somalia get on an international database. He could have committed any number of crimes in his own country and is hardly going to admit to them on arrival

Difference is that migrants arriving on work visas have to show identification
