Certain groups have been trying for over a decade to stir up these sentiments, with little and no election success.
They have jumped on most protest movements and will jump on the cost of living protests like they did month.
At some point they will be lucky and strike the right note at the right time and gain some support.
The thing is, that’s exactly what putin wants we ith the energy crisis, he wants to seed decent. He was to try and cause internal conflict in the west.
>All the strands of this social catastrophe are linked by the Government’s failure to plan, organise and ultimately its failure to deliver. There is no doubt that the Government is top of the class at when it comes to announcing big targets that grab the headlines. It gets an A+ on that score. But time and again it falls short when it comes to delivery. This failure to plan and deliver means we now see crisis heaped upon crisis. We see massive pressure heaped onto a housing system that is already broken beyond recognition. And this means that everyone loses. You lose if you have spent years desperately searching for an affordable home and you also lose if you come here to this country fleeing a terrible war in search of shelter and help. So people are now frustrated. They asked how on earth it is that nine months after Russia invaded Ukraine, the Government is now scrambling to put together a plan. How is it that the Government is appealing to the public for help but at the same time, people’s offers to accommodate refugees are being ignored? It seems that the Government’s approach was to outsource the State’s response, cross its fingers and hope for the best. What people see is the same incompetence and infuriating lack of pace that the Government has brought to addressing the domestic housing crisis. Not content with denying our own people the right to an affordable, secure roof over their heads, the Government now extends its catastrophic failure to those coming to Ireland seeking humanitarian assistance.
Handy strawman for Martin to just focus on McDonald saying the words “our own” and not addressing any of the issues brought up.
>”Not content with denying our own people the right to an affordable, secure roof over their heads, the Government now extends its catastrophic failure to those coming to Ireland seeking humanitarian assistance,” she said.
**The Taoiseach pounced on the use of the phrase “our own” and appeared to accuse the Sinn Féin leader of an attempt at dog-whistle politics.**
Oh god I hate this Taoiseach so much.
The government is perfectly capable of housing refugees AND housing those already here. It chooses not to, as it ideologically refuses to consider anything other than a market-based solution
