They are "vetted" as part of the checking their application process.
The eejits next door have stopped people from Europe immigrating but have had to get 500,000 people from India and Nigeria in instead."
Do you have any idea how many people turn up in shipping containers?

Replying To TheFlaker:  "The amount of misinformation on immigration is absolutely hilarious. None more so than across the crowd next door. We are slowly starting the same rhetoric here. It's dangerous."
What misinformation? Be specific

Replying To Tirchonaill1:  "You know what the man means, people like you I just don't get, would you like to see the day when native Irish people are in a minority here or what? we'll end up as bad as the places these young men are fleeing from if we keep going the way it is.
For what died the sons of Róisín? when we've sold enough of Ireland to be but strangers in it."
Just as well you got that one in before the hate speech laws are in full throttle.
You right winger you :D

Replying To BarneyGrant:  "According to the Census from 2022. Just under 20% of population of state was non Irish. That has gone up since Ukraine etc. It is a statement of fact, enough said."
Fact? or are you being multiplicated?

Here is the headline. Almost 20% in 2022 do not claim to be exclusively Irish or in 2022 12 % claim to be non-Irish. You chose the former and decided it was the latter. Now either you did not check the headlines or you want to deliberately misrepresent the headline to suit your own bias.

The number of non Irish as a % is slightly lower than it was in 2011 so are we been overrun?

So what is your problem with all of this? that Connolly or Pearse wouldn't have wanted it that way? how would you know what they would have wanted in todays society - the only thing they knew at the time was immigration they would never imagined an Ireland so prosperous that someone from outside it would ever want to come and live in it.

Here is a stat for you 77% in 2022 identify as white Irish - does that make the other 4% fake Irish as they must have come to Ireland after Pearse and Connally dies and given all Pearse's guff about where the Irish came from etc these people wouldn't really be Irish now would they.

Finally in the same way that Irish people who l have immigrated would attempted to hold onto their Irish identity as long as possible so too do the immigrants to this country - do you have a problem with that?

Replying To Doylerwex:  "Do you have any idea how many people turn up in shipping containers?"
Doyler I think you missed the point - it doesn't matter how they get here, could be by plane or container, the difference is what happens when they get here. Either claim protection - in which case they are ok or stay underground in which case they are illegal. I see the migrants rights center of Ireland says that there is between 20-26K undocumented migrants in the country but they believe that the majority of these entered legally and have been here for some time - they reckon 81% have been here for longer that 5yrs.
Again the narrative that we are being overrun by illegal immigrants is put out there with no facts to back it up.

Jus to be clear, I don't agree with the rhetoric of being overrun, but the pro side uses the same form of exaggerated nonsense which was perfectly demonstrated in how all the events in Dublin were reported.

The refusal to acknowledge the nationality of the assailant, and pushing a fictional story of the real hero.

This is all part of the problem.

They were delighted to deflect to have the opportunity to talk about the riots instead.
