We should be using the army for that as well tbf. Detained until processed.

SF are MORE left and populist than any of them (bar the greens).
Voting SF would be worse again!
Voting ind makes f all difference as they won’t work together (by their nature of being independent) so therefore will never have a majority to make any type of rule change.

Well if they can find their own accommodation and support themselves, well brilliant, off yis go lads. Not staying here? No supports.

I wouldn't trust this Goverment to give me the correct time of day.

I think they want to be seen to be phasing the hotels out due to the election. They've been caught rapid transferring hundreds of millions into a few hands with this.

There Is a tribunal in all of it. To quote Hamlet - Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.

Simon Harris first advisor appointments were all connected media people. People saying they are impressed by him and his approach which is moving Fine Gael up in the polls shows that them appointments are working.

We are extremely gullible.

No thanks.

I’m all for internment until IPA status is confirmed and identify confirmed.

I don’t want any people with no identity competing with our genuine citizens and legal migrants for work or homes.

List of properties providing accommodation for asylum seekers back in May 2023 when numbers were lower - probably completely out of date at this stage. Does not cover education, medical, or any other supports provided, no legal services either

How long can our small population be expected to fund this?

Just watched this from Aontu

It is a very visual waste of money the provision and subsequent taking away and destroying of tents.

However there is another circuitous waste of money probably far, far worse. Namely that identified by Tobin.

They are spending tons of time and money identifying people not eligible for asylum. Having done that they issue deportation orders.

Finally the orders are simply cancelled. UNBELIEVABLE.

It's as well Ireland is the richest country in the world by some measures because the amount of waste is astonishing.

Any who equates somebody volunteering for a migrant or homeless organisation with the likes of Derek Blighe is not thinking straight .

Volunteering is the backbone of a lot of charities .

What have any of our paaatriots done for their communities

There is a history of decent people gaining experience in areas that cannot afford to find them until they can get a funded job / or when they finish their studies And nothing wrong with that

And she is a student so you are wrong again .

What have any of our paaatriots done for their communities .? Nothing , except encourage violence and leech off our social welfare .

She and other volunteers should not be for discussion on a SM forum

It's a low ball ,even for this thread .

There's a gaa forum on here, the players are all volunteers, should that not be discussed?

Good questions but what was the answer?

Immigration to Ireland in CA is another thread but across multiple other threads the narrative and spammy type tit for tat posting is evident.

Olivia is quite literally interviewed everytime there's a piece about the canal. So you either don't watch the news every night or you've been very unlucky to miss her regular cameo.

Given how much effort online Surgirl commits to this subject I find it suspicious shes never heard of her.

But even supposedly not knowing or hearing of her she still managed a defensive POV discussing her.

I have watched the news on the canals several times - very repetitive and boring to be honest - but I took no notice of her in that I googled her earlier and found zero recognition. I will watch out for her. I have just started watching the F1 documentary on Netflix so I am often behind the curve!

Talking about those particular ones that are running for election which I referred to iny post ?

Like Derek' kick a dog' Blighe and other lovely characters like him .

"There are plenty of working class Irish people btw who don't have the Dublin 4 accent, who might even be what my dear mother would call 'common' but who have done plenty for their communities."

Nowhere were 'ordinary people 'mentioned by me or did I say that it was one particular type of person volunteering

That would be your twist .

And that is BS.

There are people from every group in society volunteering

Students, retired people , young people, looking for something good to do , or to add to their CVs , people who have time before they collect their kids ...

But you mention D4 accents ..so is it her accent now and not just her qualifications that are the issue ?

Not replying further on this.

Why couldn’t they do it 1/2 years ago though when it was obvious to anyone with a critical eye what was happening? No, they just dismissed it as far right talk, and their inaction encouraged thousands more to arrive in that time. They shouldn’t just “be moving in the direction of reforming the asylum system”, they should already have moved at this stage!

Do we really want these incompetent people in charge when they have already proven they have no foresight and can’t see what’s going on around them?
