It's ok though, he said very little and he did say "it's not the only reason".
Isn't that how it works?
as I posted earlier, I haven't seen the abuse he received and would be interested to see it, if anyone could share some of it.
all i see is support and i think it is scary how many people seem to think he said nothing wrong.
In your mind what did he say that was actually wrong. Shutting down conversations on topics is what create problems
Very little of what he said was statistically factual if you bothered checking. He also tried to suggest migration was linked to standard of living which is a load of horsesh!t, and then claimed that the government doesn't allow people to talk about immigration, even though he was literally doing so on social media to his thousands of followers.
And yet we still have the great and the good coming out in droves to defend him, insisting "he didn't say anything that wasn't true". Its actually very unsettling how right wing/racist lies are becoming so widely defended as perfectly true and normal and acceptable as soon as a mainstream figure like Noone starts peddling them.
What was statically incorrect? Ireland has hit a 17 year high on net immigration. If you dont think that has any downsides at all then crack on
How are you affected?
Clearly everyone is affected. If you have more people coming in than planned for then everyone is affected. Local schools, hospitals, doctors, housing are all affected if you have more than expected. Simple really.

Absolutely they could be but would depend on the numbers. For example 500 docs coming in with a net migration of 180,000 wouldn't be much use. These are made up numbers by the way but you get my point.
Immigration is crucial to a growing society but needs to be controlled.
