Does the Ukrainian funding come back through Europe? Thought it did

When was this?

Back in February of this year.

More than 80 per cent of applications for international protection were rejected in January, the Minister for Justice has said.

Jim O’Callaghan said that “too many people” are coming to Ireland seeking international protection who are not entitled to it.

Last year, 14,000 applications were processed and, at first instance, more than 65 per cent were rejected, according to the Fianna FĂĄil minister.

His department projects that some 15,000 people will arrive in Ireland this year seeking asylum.

“In terms of the issue, we need to focus on the fact, and I’ve to be straight with the Irish people, too many people are coming to Ireland seeking international protection who are not entitled to international protection,” he told RTÉ’s This Week programme.

“Last year, 14,000 applications were processed and, at first instance, over 65 per cent were rejected.

“This year, already, in January, over 80 per cent of applications were rejected at first instance.

“I have to be honest with people and say that we have a situation where there are too many people seeking international protection who are not entitled to it, and the people who are really suffering from that, of course, are the people who are legitimately entitled to claim it, who may not be provided with accommodation because of the numbers that are coming in.

“So, that’s an area I’m not going to shy away from stating. But, in order for it to be given effect, we have to have a procedure which recognises that if you come in and you’re granted international protection, you stay, you’re welcome.

“If you come in and you refuse international protection, you leave, you’re gone.”

Mr O’Callaghan said that while accommodation centres are needed for people seeking international protection, he and Colm Brophy, the Minister of State for Migration, will not be creating as “many accommodation spaces as possible”.

“We have to look at what is the driver of accommodation, and the driver of the accommodation needs is the ever increasing number of people coming in seeking international protection,” he continued.

“We’re going to focus on respect to that. I was out in Citywest the week before last, and that is an example of the type of centre that is working well and which we should try to have in place around the country.”

He said the Government plans to buy a series of centres around the country and provide them as accommodation.

We are net contributors to the EU so anything paid to us is merely some of our cash being returned

Ireland were net recipients from the EEC/EC/EU from 1973 to 2018. To put that time period in context, it’s the same length of time Limerick were without an All-Ireland. That’s a very long time.

Some gobshites seem to only want be a part of any international agreement or co-operation when they’re net recipients.

Then as soon as we eventually become net contributors, largely thanks to that 45 years period of being net recipients, gobshites like this fella turn around and start spouting bollocks about welfare spongers or asylum seekers - when the reality is their entire ideological worldview is one of repsonsibility-free sponging.

Eternal ridicule is the most appropriate reaction.

I can’t see any mention of fraudsters or charlatans there.

Lucky for me there’s no thought police just yet

That’s taking a fairly short term view of things

Ireland is full of radical, leftwing loons. It also has a media that seeks to control public opinion.

I’d say you’re great fun at parties.

The very best baby!

As long as there are no foreigners there.

Happy for foreigners to be here where they have a legitimate right.

If you were you wouldn’t be talking shite about asylum seekers.

Peadar Toibín will address his party’s Árd Fheis later on tonight.:rofl:
They have I think 3 Oireachtas members, 2 TDs and a SeanadĂłir.

The Cavan delegate there on 6.01 informed us that spending was out of control :wink:
Typical mane Cavan bastard, no fear he’d be moaning about housing or jobs.

Peadar and his mob are right pains in the hole.

Ah lovely :clap::clap::clap:

This Cynthia Ni MurchĂș MEP has a voice like a fucking angle-grinder and she’s fond of using it. Maddeningly she then insists on waving her arms in a kind of Davy Fitz gesticulating/threatening movement that tears the arse out of it altogether. She’d run for the Áras if she could too

Turns out that while 80% of applications were rejected at first instance, a further 20% of the total were successful on appeal to second stage. (Possibly further appeal stages after this.)

So the success rate for asylum applications is 40%, not 20% as the minister stated.

There is enough mis and disinformation doing the rounds without some gobshite dickhead dirty harry wannabe minister misrepresenting the rates of success and failure of asylum applications by an order of 100%.

Jim O’Callaghan = arsehole.

These first time ministers who were giving it the big I am when they were backbenchers/ministers of State like O’Callaghan, Carroll McNeill and Get Down James Browne are really struggling with key ministries.
