Ireland's Refugee Policy cont. Please read OP before posting

This issue has been buried well and good before the election.

See you in January….

It would make you wonder why the one with the mask doesn't want to show his face.

A decision was reached that he had no right to be here and instead of shipping him out on the first available fight he pulls this stunt.

Will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Interesting to note that Laois/Offaly TD Carol Nolan recently raised questions in the Dail in relation to ''refugees'' including from Ukraine who are sub letting their apartments (for profit of course) which are paid for by us the taxpayer….you just could not make it up. We are paying for the same apartment twice….talk of being pissed on not one but twice ! The whole system is totally out of control thanks to the deluded excuse for a minister Roderic gormless O Gorman. The sooner he and his party are kicked out of government the better.

They were sparsely populated before immigration to those continents

How is that relevant to your stated ratio?

You only seem to want to apply your ratio when the "ethnic origin" of a host country is white.

Why is that?

Course you do. There’s always ‘several’ in the homespun narratives propagated around here.

Let me guess. They go for a feed of pints in the definitely non-fictional club after training!

I’ll do you better than that. I played hurling to a decent level myself and am also involved in kids’ coaching across two sports, which is why I’m pretty confident you’re peddling rubbish.

But, but, but, try harder next time Boggles..

Sure Jan.

An election stunt. They won't be deported.

I suppose if you're a party of liers like FG are, the best time to release some very questionable stats is a holiday Monday when there are fa politicians knocking about to comment on it, no radio shows that may question it (some chance there) and there's the possibility that something else will happen in the news cycle before the radio CAs programmes kick in on the Tuesday

Remember about 10/12 days before the local/EU elections, there was a report on RTE that claimed "50 people without visas detected coming from the UK in last week" (and fecked back to Belfast and Holyhead) which was also very dubious - And incredibly enough that report was released on Sunday May the 26th - Spot the pattern?

Having said that, Peadar Tóibín did point out that today's stats were rubbish

In the same period there have been 98 enforced deportations which is an increase of 165% compared to this point in 2023.

There's a serious problem with disinformation in the media these days.

The only number that matters are enforced deportations, and that number is miniscule.

There is going to be a lot of this in the lead up to the election. Saying there has been 165% increase in enforced deportations , sounds fantastic and makes McEntee and the government out to be in though on this but then you look at he numbers behind that figure and find out that they have gone from 37 enforced deportations to 98. Also are these people that have enforced deportations actually deported? It's easy to send out these "enforced Deportation" letters and then say "look we have increased enforced deportations" but no one is actually leaving.

I wonder who will be the next patsy to be Minister of “Integration” once O’Gorman is ejected at the ballot box.

The nerve. That is one of the most horrific and brutal crimes Ireland has ever seen

Interesting to see one of our “patriots “ using a derogatory term.

Is that all you got? Someone is offended by paddy? Bonus point for Patriot.

Any comment on the unfortunate beheading incident in sligo? Or the fact a refugee family living in a council house provided by the state is suing to get 350k cash back?

Accomodation crisis in sligo for students after student apartments jumped on the refugee money. Deport the palanis n free up a house for students who have something to contribute.

There are many words that can be used to describe the Sligo attacks. Horrific and the victims were very unfortunate to have that happen to them. You’re really reaching to try to catch someone out by the words they use

Are you really arguing that unfortunate is not a good word to describe what happened to the victims in Sligo? As I said there are many words that can be used to describe what happened. What you’re doing in trying to pick apart words is an extremely cheap trick

That will be interesting. Who would want to take on such a toxic portfolio if RoG is not returned. Whoever it is, it would be great if they could give as much attention to other parts of their brief, ie, children, disability and youth which seem to have been downgraded as less important areas than integration and equality in the past few years. Or maybe that department needs to be split as it's not working well in any area now because there needs to be such a sustained focus on refugees and ipas.
