This his fucking insane. I’m seeing polls posted here that doesn’t see this government sink into the abyss despite literally everything getting worse and that baffles me.
Unfortunately this will be music to the far right’s ears. Address it now or accept that in 5-10 years time we will have our own version of AfD influencing the dail.
The country is currently at breaking point. Those of us trying to buy our own house get outbid by the government using our own taxes to give it to someone else instead. We all know how bad the housing market is. There’s nowhere else to put the asylum seekers we have and I’m pretty sure we’re not gonna let an additional 30,000 tents set up on the canal. And because of climate change, the numbers will get worse not better.
Being pro or anti on the issue doesn’t matter anymore because the financing and capacity make it a non starter.
But are half of them coming from Nigeria, Georgia and Algeria?
This isn’t our first rodeo with this duplicitous clown show of a government.
We know, that they know, the real number is going to be at least double that and they aren’t going to do anything about it – and all the while the fabric of our society is being torn apart creating opportunities on the ground for more extreme parties.
I don’t know why the government doesn’t do a quota system e.g. 15,000 for first half of year and same for second half. The numbers could be tweaked but at least with quotas we could plan.
Who knows what the final numbers will be and that uncertainty is probably upsetting to many.
The social welfare system will start to crumble soon without tax increases and/or retirement age increase. All that for so Ireland can look good in front of the EU.
Well…this year, and next, and the one after that….
There is no point in sticking the head in the sand or voting for some far right idiots, nothing will change this.
The government needs to take the finger out and build places for them to stay, have the staff/facilities to deal with their application, and have the staff/facilities to either send them back home, or help them integrate, based on the outcome of their application.
Doing nothing is the stupidest option, but guess what….
Did he do that math himself?
I’m not denying there’s a problem but I find it interesting that the people who tell us they don’t trust FFG politicians will unquestioningly accept numbers that were pulled out of an FF TD’s arse.
Forgive me if I wait for a more in depth analysis of the situation than “600 a week times 52 weeks”.
A heavy price will be paid for this, in several ways.
We can’t even hit housing targets as is never mind adding 30 thousand more people. As there aren’t enough houses there will be more homeless.
If you think that every asylum seeker deserves a place in our country I ask where will we put them?
Too many coming into the country via planes with no documentation. How you can lose your documents on a plane is ridiculous. These are economic migrants taking up spaces that should be for those seeking refuge. They should be delt with accordingly and sent back. I genuinely think if you come into this country via a plane with zero documents claiming asylum then you should be bottom of the waiting list. This make people keep their documents
This is fucking insane
The same number of people coming into the country whilst building less houses than that number.
We truly are fucked if we don’t sort our shit out.
That number will grow exponentially aswell as the years go by as they have their own families etc.
The only solution to this is enforced deportations. We cannot scale up accommodation quickly enough (nor should we).
It needs to be a conveyor belt where people are dealt with quickly and most importantly, are removed when unsuccessful.
We also need to consider how those who have been granted protection are handled. We cannot give them all own door housing and they cannot stay in IPAS accommodation forever.
This figure doesn’t appear to have been based on anything than taking how many applied this week and multipling it by 52.
It could be a lot more.
It could be a lot less.
I mean, how many where already here, waiting to be processed? How many were new arrivals?
There’s nothing on trends, movement.
Just saying.
Wait until the conflict in palestine ends, “ain’t seen nothing yet”.
I’d urge everyone to look at who our European candidates are affiliated with on an EU level. SF/FF/FG policies don’t matter much in Brussels. We are effectively back benchers who don’t make policy decisions.
Well while we can’t afford to buy a home of our own our Taxes will be paying for theirs as OP said Seems Sustainable
We’re going to run out of tents.
It will probably be higher.
And they won’t be buying houses. They’ll be going into the social housing list.
Every person arriving will eventually end up on the same housing lists and uses the same public services as we do. It’s just absolute madness that our politicians have accepted this as a fait compli. We’ll end up with Shitler elected at this rate
Getting tired of this. I don’t want them here.
When can these NGO’s who lobbied for years to end direct provision step in and accommodate these asylum seekers.
Maybe their staff can clear out a spare room in their own houses. Look what’s happened now. A shanty town.
This is the result of bleeding heart liberal politics.
We need to provide simple accommodation and food as set out by our legal commitments not a free for all for any chancer coming from these countries.
End the countless appeals and then house the genuine applicants and forcibly deport the rest.
No more of these conservative muslim economic migrants when we are struggling to house our own population and keep the country an attractive place to visit and do business.
I’m sorry your birth country is a complete shit show. Maybe ask why this is, likely to do with the shitty politics Islam seems to manifest.
30,000′ asylum applications… and a further 30,000 international protection applications expected this year
It’s not like they are arriving on boats. Revoke licenses from airlines if checks aren’t enforced, have stricter controls. It’s baffling why it’s just allowed to continue without even the mildest of checks.

Seems sustainable.
That’s way too many.
