Interesting poll, so they wonât need a smaller party or a bunch of independents to prop them up?
Immigration is only an astro-turf âissueâ. Thatâs all it ever has been.
Immigration as an âissueâ and anti-immigrant opinion is only ever based on stories from other people, never on personal experience.
It only becomes an issue when people make up lies, so right wing headbangers make up lies.
Strange, I see McEntee was just on the news talking about record numbers of deportations and quoting a few figures. I thought they couldnt actually track if someone had left the country?
Tracey Emmin and heâd be close enough.
Deportation orders and deportations are not quite the same thing really.

McEntee is talking about a 10 year high in volutary deportations but then Peadar came on said the government canât confirm any of the figures.
I believe we have no way of knowing if anyone who was served an order has actually left the country
Lies, damn lies and FG stats
there have been 98 enforced deportations which is an increase of 165% compared to this point in 2023.

Itâs really so odd that we still have people claiming it isnât an issue âon the doorsâ.
All the more so when it is claimed to be an issue the Government stir despite polls showing that there is a strong correlation in unfavourable opinions on the government and not being happy with migration!
There must be indicators?
Not in state accomadation, not getting social welfare etc
Itâs an artificial issue. Itâs not an issue that actually affects white Irish people. Itâs only an issue in so much as gobshites decide to talk bullshit about it for reaction.
Heed this advice so, please !

Most lads are only discovered as having left when they try to come back in.

It quite clearly is an issue. Itâs an issue for all of europe. It was clearly an issue in the local elections. It was an issue when they had to lock down the canal because there was so many people living there. People see these things and it forms their opinions. People saw the tents all over town. Other people burnt down hotels because it was an issue for them.
Itâs an issue because itâs a sexy one for the media to run with it because it generates clicks because itâs divisive and a tool of control for the powerful and the evil and their terminally stupid brainwashed fodder in society.
But in the real world it affects precisely no white Irish people. And white Irish people are the only people who âthinkâ it is an issue. They think it is because they are told it is.
Itâs an âissueâ like roaming bears was an âissueâ in the Simpsons, ie. a bullshit, made up issue designed to get people to look over there.
Anti-immigrant scum, now thereâs an actual real issue that affects real people. And nothing is done about them.
You pretending its not real doesnt make it not an issue. If you get 10,000-15,000 new asylum seekers a year, it certainly put pressure on housing considering the amount of extra capacity that is required. The minister in charge of it recognises that itâs an issue at leastâŚ

It absolutely is an issue, same as housing.
Denying it wonât make it go away.
We have ageing demographics, where will the workers come from to care for people?
It is absolutely an issue. We have over 1 person extra for the 10 we had before the last election.
Itâs a nuanced issue, pretending it is irrelevant is delusional.
New housing stock growing gangbusters in Ireland.
Will @Juhniallio and co. still claim that Labour will be better? AOR being gone might help planning applications get through without middle class NIMBYs sticking their oars in at least.
