  1. Ireland: Sure we can join the Eu and play with the big boys, give us what you got.

    Also Ireland: Houses? The fuck?

  2. Aparantly they are just loading them into modular housing in a park, in between 3 housing estates that floods in the winter.

    Some local Councillor or committee member trying to show the big boys in his party that he can get things done by the looks of things..

  3. God love them going to Newbridge. The bus and train prices in that place are possibly the highest in the country per km travelled.

  4. If these are modular homes then surely they can move them some place nicer and not subject these poor people to Newbridge, have they not been through enough

  5. >Ms O’ Shea said she is not racist but she has a problem with “unvetted people coming in… I have a problem with the government taking in 50,000 people when we have 10,000 of our own homeless. This is not about race.”

    >This comment was met with a round of applause.

    >Ms O’Shea told Cllr Heavey: “You’re an elected representative, you should be standing with us, you say there’s good people coming in here but you don’t know that, they should be garda vetting. I have been garda vetted to get my home.

    >”The issue here is not the Ukrainian people, we just want some kind of consultation, and garda vetting, but the point is, this has been imposed on us.

    >”Certain people in the estate have bought their houses out, so people who have privately owned houses here have rights too.”

    They sound like a bunch of bigots.

  6. >One woman, who also wished to remain anonymous, specified that she had nothing against Eastern European people, adding that her best friend, another local resident, is Polish

    Jesus fucking christ, it’s literally that joke that “I can’t be racist, I have black friends!”
