So if the government was enforcing the law as it pertains to people landing without documentation why all of a sudden was there a CRACKDOWN? 


You only would need a crackdown if the process was being abused and you were seen to be doing nothing about it

Why cut the welfare entitlements of Ukrainians in HALF? Does that not tell you that they were double what they should have been in the first place

Quote from: Aristo 60 on Today at 03:46:02 PMIts not just about moving seat. They don't open the majority of the facilities with the result that the queues for toilets and kiosks got totally overcrowded. Last year at Down v Cavan it was a dangerous cattle crush on the hogan stand concourse with everyone trying to get to the 1 or 2 bathrooms. Little they care. GAA - where we all belong.

Was there not a problem with the toilets at the semi final v Laois? I remember there was a few problems that day. Meath and Antrim headed out as Down and Laois came in caused a jam.

Quote from: Rossfan on Today at 04:00:09 PMWhat are "woke NGOs"?
Why is wanting fairness, equality, human dignity, a fair wage, etc treated as an insult?
The billionelaires have done their brainwashing well.

By the way most of the monet spent on IPA people and Ukrainians is going into the hands of Irish property owners, food businesses etc.
In other words circulating in the Irish Economy.

I wonder who the ex blueshirts in Mayo are going to vote for?

That's the thing that gets me.  The vast majority of this money is staying in within the economy so it's essentially zero sum.

The thick as mince brits think they are getting a great deal over there by flying these people to Rwanda at a million quid a head with the only economy benefitting being that of Kigali.

Quote from: Armagh18 on Today at 10:45:28 AMGlobal warming my hole, cold wet and miserable March.
Except for the fact last year was the hottest on record globally.


Some people need to understand weather and climate.

Not here it wasn't as I can mind debating whether (pardon the pun) or not to put on the fire last Summer which i'd never done in any summer prior.
Doesn't Weather refer to short term atmospheric conditions? cos it's been shite for a good while now.
It was the warmest year on record in Ireland.

Quote from: SouthOfThe Bann on March 27, 2024, 05:12:35 PMWhere is Mark Sidebottom gone; he used to come out with some daft stuff but I used to enjoy him; a likable guy.

He was on commentary for the Down v Kerry hurling game a few weeks ago on the iPlayer. Was thinking the same when I heard him. Niblock was hosting it.

Quote from: whitey on Today at 01:46:52 PMImmigration is the number one issue because it costs hundreds of millions of Euro to house, feed, clothe and transport these people (some of whom are complete fraudsters)

Ah so your biggest concern day to day isn't being able to afford to heat the home you can't afford to own, but rather, it's the money the state has to pay for those damn immigrants? Surely if it's true that on a day-to-day bais the health of the states coffers are of more concern to you than your own coffers, then taxation and tax dodging by the superwealthy that ought to be making you mad, instead of the dark skinned fella walking down the street minding his own business?


People have (and had) legitimate concerns that are not being addressed

The government (and Sinn Fein) had an opportunity to tackle this but they caved to the woke NGOs and just started calling people racists and far right

I have 4 immediate family members who are staunch lifelong Blueshirts and they're all voting third party at the next election

Way to not answer the question, Whitey.
