  1. I love how he comes out with these statements as if he isn’t in charge.

  2. And the question remains, why did we take so many without limit or thought of consequences for services and spending? Other EU countries took different stance. Why did we owe the EU that big a favour? 🤔

  3. They saying this to save elections or what?
    Didn’t we know this when a fecking housing crisis was going on and when we had to look to hotels to take the brunt or when we didn’t have the accommodation in the first place?
    What a joke.

  4. “The EU kept sending cheques and I kept cashing them, it’s was entrapment, I swear”

  5. Ireland can’t accomadate it own citizens at this stage, where does this madness end.

  6. It’s quite strange that just last week these takes would have been branded far right. The idea that young Irish people of today somehow owe the world their own nation. The idea that Irish people were fleeing to small population islands in the middle of mass housing shortages, and didn’t flee to massive countries with the resources to take them, and worked their ass off receiving no welfare handouts or accommodations. Many of the asylum seekers and refugees coming to our island have also already been to other safe countries, that’s now been statically proven by our own government this week also. To compare these foreign men with top of the range iPhones and fade haircuts to starving Irish women and children fleeing a famine is downright insulting.

  7. If England has Ireland’s population they’d have 9.5M, if we had England’s population we’d have 30M. There is space to build without going too crazy.

  8. It’s about time, not only should there be a limit or how many people we can look after we are way over stretched with the amount we already have and we should be prioritizing non genuine seekers and people from the likes of Ukraine who were already in a safe European country to be returned to sender.

  9. If we are at the mercy of EU law with regard to refugee policy, then refugees should be managed by the EU. People should be divided out among the nations proportionate to population, available housing, skillset and available resources.

    You should not get to pull out a map, rock up wherever you fancy and claim refugee status.

    Just one example is Georgia. Georgia is a safe country. Ireland has taken in over 6,000 people from Georgia in the last 24 months. They might be less reluctant to come if there’s a good chance they’ll be dropped off in Bulgaria, Romania, Latvia where the average annual salary is in the 10-15k per annum range.

    Ireland would be more than happy to pay other nations with capacity to house refugees on our behalf. We’re well able to travel ourselves but we cant just operate with an open door policy. The country isnt big enough. We havent enough resources.

  10. PR Taoiseach. Absolutely insufferable and useless. Evidently he has his eyes on a European Commission role and the best interests of the country are not his priority.

  11. Funny how ‘far right’ talking points keep materialising
