    Plenty of work planned but the waterford/Ireland says no brigade are allegedly putting off commencement of work as they have a tendency to put 2 + 2 together and end up with 50 followed by petrol soaked fabrics in bottles being lobbed in on top of workers

    Let's be honest, all the men in tents along the canal need to be moved into somewhere.

    the owners of these hotels will be millionaires over night if they get the asylum seeker payments …. Normally owners will be well connected to Fine Gael or Fianna Fáil TDs to get the ludicrously generous payments

    Millionaires over night is a bit of a stretch, agreed.

    Not the bit about collusion with gov parties to get favourable rates and payments?

    Everything is a theory until happens though right? Hardly a conspiracy when collusion with government parties and senior government officials has absolutely happened before in a multitude of instances.

    Poster said nothing about "favourable" rates or payments.

    Hoteliers get paid to take in refugees, true.

    Companies and firms associated with politicians always come out on top because nepotism and corruption, that has been proven, true.

    I don't see any conspiracy theories.

    Fred Forsey. Four years in jail for taking payments from developers and going to councillors to get land rezoned.

    You aren't that naive to think the links are directly back to politicians. You know as well as everyone else there's an acquaintance of a cousin involved when it comes to this stuff.

    It only happens if they get caught right?? 😉

    But let's not derail it any further.

    Which hotel are you talking about? The one by the library or the one by the amusements?

    Which politician? im not being smart but youve named 1 instance that Ive asked for, you are stating that its common practice that politicians today are corrupt and accept bribes, I cant agree with you there. The Hotel I was refering to is the Grand Hotel, which was bought by frisby construction, Hotel owners are perfectly entitled to house whom ever they want in their hotels, Theres nothing corrupt or no need to bribe or win contracts to house Asylum seekers. There isnt enough hotels available to fill the need and alot of hotel groups wont accept asylum seekers or take up the offer of housing asylum seekers as they see it as bad for their business model. some business owners couldnt care less but probably didnt care much about employees rights etc to begin with

    Also can I just say, We cannot have a functional society without proper governance and political systems, A society without these things would be a complete breakdown in society, on the other hand if you prefer we could have communism, where you would be told what to do without elections, i know which one I'd prefer, thats a political system where I get to choose and vote, and if you still really arent happy with politicians, then get involved yourself and run for election or set up your own party etc, cos until then youre just moaning on boards like this and being grumpy about how you dont like the current status quo without doing anything about it, People are flawed, there are bad people in every aspect of society, some have gone to jail, Doctors killing patients, Nurses killing babies, bad accountant, bad teachers and so on, humans by their nature are flawed.
