Sinn Fein? They have gone away, you know.

[Eire90]

when people protests outside dail politicians walk past them and laugh with snugness.

[Rossfan]

If Sinn Fein really wanted into power in the south all they'd have to do is come out and say that immigration would be controlled like in Australia and they would win a landslide victory in the next election.

Neither Sinn Féin or the vast majority of us have any intention of leaving the EU.
A bit ironic mentioning Australia where the descendants of the illegal immigrant land robbers decide who can or can't now land there.

Australia do it the right way. Anyone coming there only gets in if they are going to add something to the country. Only way to do it

Ideally lol. But sure we've enough of them without importing more!

The stabbings occurred in her constituency where she romped home with 35% of the first preference votes in 2020 (equal to the first preference total for next 3 candidates combined)

She is accountable to her constituents

Plenty of legitimate ways for citizens to express their views, but not by haranguing their politician walking to their car.

Well if she is refusing to address their concerns, she only has herself to blame if  they harangue her

Concerns of whoever?  racists dullards? Mary Lou does have to answer to blow-in dumb as fck racists.

That constituency elected a Sinn Fein TD, a PBP TD and a Green Party TD at the last election

Now all of a sudden her constituents are right wing racists because they don't want  open borders

Ive heard it all now

So a small mob of loudsmouths is more representative of the views of the constituency than the voting record of the entire constituency?

[Rossfan]

Do those clowns who "don't want open borders" want us to leave the EU?
Do they want us to become a Western Albania like we were on the 1950s?

They're so effn thick that they probably do.
Then we have those who say we're "importing" people.
The only people being brought in are those from non EU Countries and non Brits for whom Employers get work permits.
(I know the word work is an unknown concept to our right wing extremists).
Others - Brits, EU citizens and people applying for International Protection - arrive of their own volition.

As for Mary Lou, I'm not a SF voter but as an elected Representative she's entitled to go about her business without a mob of foul mouthed scumbags harassing her.
One of them shouted something about her and SF being "terrorists"....

I wonder what Nationality that individual was.

Do you want open borders?

[whitey]

So what if  we just enforce the laws we already have to the letter of the law, bring welfare rates and eligibility in line with the rest of the EU and IMMEDIATELY deport people who are ordered deported by the courts after due process.

No doubt voted for SF in the last election aswell.

They attacked a PBP meeting in Dublin last night as well.

I don't support PBP but they're entitled to have their meetings free from harassment by extremist xenophobic scumbags.

[naka]

This is why words are so important, it's sometimes best to say nothing or say less.

Mary Lou isn't responsible for the EU policy nor for asylum rules within the EU, she's not responsible for the attack at the school or the murder of that young girl.

But you can't start stoking fires and look for political gains when things are going to shit.

Every country is having to deal with this problem, building walls, protesting, rioting and allowing the far right (Holland) to gain traction.

A real think tank between the parties needs to be done, what's the best approach?

If the Aussie one works then look at it, if it can be tweaked then look at it.

Putting people to work will grow the economy, it will build public buildings required to sustain a growing population, anyone that thinks Ireland should be just Irish is as bad as the DUP who think the north is still a Protestant state.

Sensible ideas won't make you a racist btw, but some are clearly racist.

the difficulty is that this topic like the trans war has become toxic, sensible suggestions are shot down allowing teh right to fill a void. i agree though we need a grown up conversation on criteria needed and how do deal with illiegal migrants otherwise matters are simply going to get more entrenched.

[tonto1888]

what do people mean by open borders? Do you think people get off a plane and stroll through dublin airport into a taxi without being checked?

[trailer]

I'm all for getting stuck into SF but this isn't the issue to do it on.

[whitey]

Kind of ironic now when you look back at how SF and PBP ginned up massive protests, assaults and intimidation against the government the time of the water charges

Funny how they don't like it when the shoe is on the other foot
