That would make sense guy. (Muppet, I'm not sure why you introduced that anecdote, I'm not suggesting we don't help the needy, and I'm sure they'll be additions to society). But then wouldn't that suggest the refugee camps in Turkey etc would be full of women and children as the men go to Hungary or wherever. I'm not seeing that in the pictures. It looks like at least 75% of the people are young men.

My point was more for the other poster arguing against refugees on the basis of cut backs. But my post did quote yours which confused the issue.

Fair enough. I think we're probably fairly aligned in our thinking on this one. Nobody likes to see innocent people suffer, and when something can be done about it, it should be done.

I agree. I don't buy that these people are economic tourists or, in particular, part of some ISIS plot to plant sleepers here.

Just invite the whole of the middle east and africa over to live off welfare. Might as well. Some of the bleeding hearts will advocate it.

Kenny the schnake will grant them citizenship not as an act of kindness but as a method of vote getting. Have you seen the numbers getting citizenship the last few years? This govt would never do anything for the good of Irish society nevermind anyone else's.

What's your position on whether refugees should pay water charges?
