Leo Varadkar becomes a racist

[highorlow]

Illegals out he says.

[armaghniac]

Illegals out he says.

If he was a racist then presumably he would say only illegals of a certain race out?

[Saffrongael]

Illegals out he says.

He said there should be controlled immigration, not sure anyone disagrees with that

That's exactly what he said. But protesters that are and were arguing the same are tainted as racists, anyhow the horse has bolted on this and as per usual the so called powers that be are been reactive rather than proactive. It's only when this matter ended up in Dublin starting with east wall did it come to the governments attention. It's something that's been an issue and brewing in rural Ireland for years where some small towns are already over capacity.

Isn't there "controlled immigration " already for non EU/GB/EEA people?
Any person can claim International protection and become an asylum seeker.
Presumably illegal immigrants are
1 people who came on a holiday or student visa and didn't leave when it expired
Or
2 asylum seekers who debunked from their accommodation.

[burdizzo]

But hardly anyone is deported, so immigration is in effect uncontrolled.

Yes thank God for the Famine to control immigration in rural Ireland.

Yes thank God for the Famine to control immigration in rural Ireland.

What percentage of the population ought to be asylum seekers to enable some form of cultural integration into the community? Is there any benchmark on this? Some towns in the west of Ireland appear to have been taken advantage of due to unused leftover houses post "celtic tiger".

There is a large swathe of land and one would imagine underused buildings in the RTE campus in Donnybrook, this would be ideal for temporary accommodation, maybe RTE will lend a hand at some stage?

The protesters are shouting abuse at people in their place of residence, this is quite different from issuing a statement on the subject.

RTÉ have sold off a large part of their campus, why would they have underused buildings?

Fully agree, the protests are now infiltrated by a hate mob. The Gov made a mess and this was an open goal for the far right nutters. The Gov had complete disregard for local communitys with no communication as to what is happening and what the plan is to house the asylum seekers. It took TII (the roads authority, again above in Dublin) years to understand that communication with farmers was key when dividing up their lands for roads. Seems to be a cultural thing between Dublin's ruling class and the rest of us, the ruling class still seem to think anyone outside Dublin are uneducated farmers.

I think it was Fintan O'Toole that was the only journalist that highlighted the open goal for the far right about 8 months back. Anyone outside Dublin could see what was brewing.

It's only when the public perception becomes obvious to the Dublin media that "journalists" start asking questions that ought to have been asked months ago. Pat Kenny is a perfect example on his show this morning.

In fairness not many countries have a plan for refugee crisis when a war breaks out. Look what happens in the Middle East or Africa massive refugee camps. Is the solutions the government are implementing ideal? Absolutely not, but outside of running a huge housing surplus on the off chance a refugee crisis emerges it's difficult to know what to do.

Refugee camps would be the way forward, up at the top of Donegal, the old fashion tents, none of the new versions, pot of tea a day and some spuds to keep them goin till they get processed and on their way back to where ever they came from.

Not too many will head over if they have to head up there Trailer? your favourite spot
