Tents knifed

    just heard on Newstalk news that a group of ‘people’ - maybe there is a more apt name for them - arrived wearing face covers and with knives, baseball bats, etc, etc, etc, etc, and attacked the property of 15 refugees who had tented someplace in Dublin City. The group apparently knifed the tents and threw the lot into the Liffey along with their passports and other documents. Something REALLY NEEDS to be done about this behaviour. What if this hits the international media. But , for our own sake we need to apply ZERO TOLERENCE for this kind of behaviour, increase sentences , etc, etc.

    We need to have zero tolerance for tents in the city.

    What if it hits the international media??? OMG what will the neighbours think.

    Other countries have enough of their own similar problems to care too much about what happens in Dublin.

    It's alright anyway, the government have said Dublin isn't lawless

    re international media. All this type of activity adds up - all the disturbance at other proposed accommodation centres, the riots in and around OConnell st a few mts ago, etc, etc. I am thinking of how overseas tourists /0verseas investors might view Ireland. A lot of tourists did not ‘ realise’ during the ‘troubles’ that it was confined MAINLY to NI. They thought that the troubles were throughout IReland so stayed away

    I find it strange that those causing the most trouble, and instigating violence are the one "protesting" against immigrants because they think immiugrants are going to cause trouble.

    Do these fucwits actually have a brain cell or are they simply devoid of even the most basic intelligence.

    I note also that almost all those arrested and charge in the coolock scuffles were in social housing and most were not in any employment.

    Pure scum

    FDI does not care one jot for this kind of thing. They care about whether they can get workers and whether they can get tax breaks and whether they can get enough electricity supply for their facilities.

    …well actually yes, it would be a good start, housing is in fact one of the main reasons why we re now experiencing immigration related problems, it was noted for well over a decade now that we were running out of housing, but yet our governments have done little or nothing to address this reality, and the fact we have a quickly aging population, inward migration is in fact one of the quickest ways of addressing major issues such as housing and health care, as we probably wont be getting a whole pile of 40+ year old irish folks rushing into construction to get building, but we might just be able to get some 20+ year old migrants into it, and into our health system!

    its clearly obvious we have an extremely serious aging population problem, if we dont do anything about it soon, we simply will never be able to resolve our most serious issues, particularly with an aging work force, its clearly obvious our pension and welfare systems will simply not be able to also deal with this aging population, which could potentially lead to pension fund collapse, if we dont do something immediately about this profile…..

    we are in a era of social economic and civil regression . simply put civilization has slowed its forward progress and started going in the other direction in some places

    It is Government's issue. Build homes for Irish but no for refugees. Then problem disappears.

    Then look at American cities that have decriminalised drug possession being ravaged by artificial opiod crises driven by precursor chemicals provided to drug cartels by China.

    Human civilisation is in something of a crisis in most places in the world sadly.

    Lets get real, if Ireland had enough accommodation spare to house 100,000 more migrants, 200,000 more migrants would be brought over. You can cheer and support that attitude, write it off as kindness or benevolence, but you cannot pretend that any availability of housing would get people off the streets, the housing crisis will continue so long as we're OK with continuously bringing in more people than we're capable to house.

    In a country dealing not only with the housing crisis but the problems associated with poor building practices (pyrite etc) any acceleration in construction also has to be managed properly.

    We're already doing a bad job of providing for our own citizens, now we're doing an even worse job providing for people arriving into the country. All the while the government responsible are using the "far right" bogeyman as a scapegoat to keep the heat off of themselves creating a vicious circle of inertia relating to construction of housing and rhetoric about perceived enemies. Nothing is ever solved but blame is dished out in spades and it never lands at the feet of the establishment that have crated the problems in the first place.

    agreed , and escalated by a feral underclass of useless jobless angry scumbags who have been allowed to believe that they can do what they like due to a water weak government and justice system .

    those throwing rock and burning garda cars aren't the voice of the people, they are the people who should be removed so the rest of us can get on with civilization

    Asylum Seekers will not be "paying for our pensions."

    I really wish people would stop trotting out this canard.

    …and again wrong, again, our housing problems have persisted long before most of these immigrants turned up here, it was in fact noted at the height of the previous crash, that we were in fact starting to run out of housing, thats 15 years ago now, i.e. the fundamentals of our housing problems are in fact deeply ideologically based within out primary political parties, and have persisted, and they will never change this, ever…..

    and again, we will not be able to build what we need without a major influx of younger workers, other facts are, pensionable age will simply keep increasing, the longer this goes on, for reasons explained, so get ready to be made work into your 70's!

    All thanks to our lax overly liberal criminal justice system.

    Scumbags that should be locked up are walking our streets, usually they focus their behaviour on individuals and it gets ignored, when it's en masse in a riot situation everyone is so shocked by the fact it could happen yet they never join the dots on how letting sh1t bags do whatever they like could possibly have negative outcomes.

    We will work into our 70s to support the welfare. Refugees don't work, and we shouldn't expect them to either - if we're calling them asylum seekers or refugees that's in itself is the reason to bringing them here.

    If we need people to work - talk working visas, and call the incomers economic migrants if that's what you say they are.

    Again i think you mean well but are very naive. We have 10s of thousands of lads coming from Africa and the Middle East each year. Their main aim isnt to work. They have no history of it. They are contributing to an unsustainable level of welfare that is going to burst pretty soon.

    Eastern Europeans helped hugely in the boom and contributed massively to our society. They have now gone home.
