Not at all - 'tis not I engaging in empty rhetoric. Whether you call it plantation, colonisation, large-scale immigration, or massive demographic change, it still amounts to a bad deal for the host society. I actually think you're being deliberately evasive, but whatever.

Padraic Henry Pearse must be turning in his grave.

Good night.

No, I'm drawing a line between periods of large-scale immigration. Simple as that. You're trying to put words in my mouth. You may want to engage in semantics, but my point was that massive demographic change is not good for the host society in the long run.

Very low would be what we had prior to 1992. Massive demographic change is now.
The plantations were still immigration. You can play with words all you like, but that's what is was - organised immigration. Was it good for the host society? Were the early waves of immigration to the 'new world' good for the host societies? Was the immigration of Jews to the Middle East a good idea?(!) Will the current massive demographic change be good for Ireland?

Ideally, immigration levels would be very low: the problem with massive demographic change is that the host society loses in the long run. Were the plantations of Ireland a good idea?

What a bizarre question.
I am blaming the government for allowing these levels of immigration.
Puh.

Continually letting people into the country when there's nowhere to put them? You couldn't make it up.

so blame the govt... not 'foreigners' and don't burn down hotels/accommodation!!

International Law is above and beyond teeny extremist minds.

It's not one bit extreme to want to protect your nation's borders. Unless your dream is the mindless anti-fa/ anarchist mantra of "no nations, no borders".

Public vote? Haha!

What's a wizard then?!

Quite like the song. The fact that she's a freak is neither here nor there. An awful lot of self-obsessed freakos in the music-world.

And now you label anyone who wants national borders and sovereignty upheld a fascist? You don't really have a clue what fascism is, do you?

Who funds mainstream media, then? And remember, too, that that is demonstrably dishonest when it comes to the immigration issue.

Not sure about throwing U20s into the Senior setup, I'd be fairly against that. Ger Quinlan looked quite tired this evening against Offaly.
In fact, Laois have never truly recovered from the 'experiment' under Damien Fox to cull all over 23s from the senior setup back in the day. We need experienced heads on the Laois team like Patrick Purcell, etc...

So true. Happens at club level, and all. Too much, too soon.

Got a leaflet in the Post this morning from one of the Fash EU Candidates . Is this all they are doing , are they actually going door to door ?

All the main parties send leaflets through the post.

It's being billed as a repeat of the Leinster final two years ago, so - unlikely. Sadly.
