Because purple faced old cunts who voted for brexit are using the Irish passport as a flag of convenience. I value it more highly.
Some people are bad drivers so no one should be allowed to drive.
Massive generalisation there. You’ve lots of people with Irish heritage who didn’t vote Brexit and still want to move between EU countries.
Well they can choose which they wish.
British people of Irish heritage voted overwhelmingly in favour btw.
Really? Is there evidence of this. Irish America has become increasingly conservative and republican but I wouldn’t have thought Irish in the UK went the same way.
Are you sure that’s true? I haven’t seen anything remotely suggesting that is the case. Even if you exclude the part of Ireland that did vote which was overwhelmingly remain.
You aren’t actually trying to have a rationale conversation with that clown @glasagusban are you guys? He’s not a serious person, he literally was just proven incorrectly with a very dumb but ideological declaration he made and his only retort was ‘far right’. His whole world view is predicated on fairies and unicorns. Thinks shouting racist will solve everything. A clown.
Can anyone who is serious, please answer this question - what’s the limit to the number of asylum seekers Ireland should accept, if any?
What’s the limit on economic migrants, if any? (non-EU given that’s an obligation)
8 billion.
Yes it’s true unfortunately.
This obviously excludes the Irish of NI, if you see what I mean.
For pig iron, can you explain what you’re on about here? What’s an “economic migrant”? Do you understand what the visa system is?
The far right have taken root in Ireland alas
They’ve taken root on TFK anyway. There’s a disproportionate number of far-right posters, or lads who sympathise with far-right views on here. Angry disaffected dimwitted oddballs by and large.
It is a well worn strategy for backwater folk to try and comandeer the emigration issue
The whole purpose of asylum is to help people in danger. Is that not made a mockery of by people throwing away passports to get in. Does that not take an asylum place from someone who actually needs it. If not asylum seekers they are economic migrants. Who are needed for economies etc but there’s a system there. A politician suggesting turning a blind eye and letting all comers in with no enforcement like deportation would be laughed at in Canada, Australia, Japan for example.
Also so much for the greens virtue signalling promise of a house for everyone who arrives. That’ll be quietly shelved now the social media likes are in the bank.
Whatever about the legalities of immigration or otherwise we will need migrants to try to fill the hole in the pension fund in 20 or 30 years time as we don’t have any government party willing to grasp the nettle on that front either.
That’s horrible to see
time to stand up to cleaners
