And if the answer is yes-do you support open borders?
All concerns? Not in the slightest. But anyone who regards it as a priority or anything close to one, or who spends more time obsessing about it than about they do about health, education, taxation etc...Well you have to question their motivation.
After all, other than racism or stupidity, why would anyone be angry enough to take to the streets, or to base their voting decisions in protest about immigration ahead of in protest about the state of the health service, or housing crisis, or tax evasion by the super wealthy etc etc etc?
Screaming far right doesn't help.
Hospitals have been a shambles long before a refugee was about the place. If you blame hospital issues on refugees it's as simple as this, you are a racist.
And we were told that there was no money to fix hospitals..........and yet we have hundreds of millions (if not billions) to house, feed and clothe refugees
There's towns and villages that don't have a single Guard-and yet we have hundreds of millions (if not billions) to house, feed and clothe refugees
38000 people have been waiting for more than 18 months for a scan yet we have hundreds of millions (if not billions) to house, feed and clothe refugees
10,000 disabled kids have been waiting for more than a year to get an appt to see a specialist and yet we somehow have hundreds of millions (if not billions) to house, feed and clothe refugees
People are rightly outraged and it has shag all to do with racism

Immigration affects health, education and housing.
Give me the stats on the health and housing. Education has been a struggle in the South more to do with the appalling planning by government. Show me the data that says immigration has caused increased waiting times in hospitals. Show me where housing affordability was caused in some way by Immigrants (most of them are rammed into building that were never to be used for housing - old hotels for example)

Higher (maybe even highest) levels of welfare to Ukrainians compared to the broader EU
Non prosecution of people showing up at Dublin Airport without ID
Govt created this problem and are going to get hammered. Sinn Fein are also going to take a serious (and we'll deserved) kicking

If I were to hazard a guess, "far right" (by the standards of this board) will get somewhere between 15-20% of first preference votes in the next General Election
Whitey, you might as well ask a dog to estimate how far it is to the moon than ask you to estimate first preference in votes in a southern election from America. I would say max 3% and will get no one elected as only the brain dead would vote for them and no one will transfer to them.
There are are large cohort of people who are not ''Far Right'' and all that jargon who will vote for certain principles these candidates stand for. There is a huge disconnect between the Major Parties and the Electorate. There will be many who will privately do a rebellious vote.
Sinn Fein are in bother. They have lost ground in the many disadvantaged areas they would have been sailing through.
SF are no longer seen as an alternative for change,
I know I won't be voting for FF/FG/SF/Greens.
By you.
There's always the social democrats, independents who'll be far right if you want them to this election and far left the next one. Whatever suits. Then you can vote for the inbreds in the Far right parties so still plenty of choice for you.
