Why isn't anyone discussing Coolock

[Pennyswimsplash]

Just that really, with all the going ons why isn't it being discussed as a topic?

The salubrious areas are avoided for IPAS settlements because the FG and FF vote is huge in such areas. QED.

In places like Coolock, not so much and SF has lost its way with its erstwhile supporters. Never any votes for the Coalition there, and the SF vote will splinter into support for this that and the other party, thus neutralising SF as the main potential opposition. The Government has planned this well.

It's a scourge on Europe. I was watching David Starkey earlier. It depressed me more. He said that integrating doesn't happen because they import their wives from back home so there's a chain migration, making sure every generation is raised by a woman born in the home country.

I want to THANK "THE THUGS" because I'm hoping that that might dissuade some illegals from coming here, because nothing the government does dissuades more of them arriving.

You need to wake up. Your ireland is going to be replaced by something completely unrecognisable. Do you think all of these thousands of mainly Muslims will have no impact on our way of life?

In twenty years, we'll have honour killings, we'll have people born in ireland campaigning on issues that aren't Irish issues, and they will be elected democratically.

Misogyny is THE NORM and the garda will be like the uk police, dealing with gangs, grooming white girls.

If you don't foresee this, can you explain why you think something different will play out in ireland?

Do you think they'll love us and be grateful?

Regarding the stats - Asylum & resettlement in UK - Migration Observatory
Immigration and crime - Wikipedia
After a FOI request from the office for National Statistics stated - Unfortunately they do not hold this info. Yeh right!

My friend said this to me "but you lived in the uk" as though I have no right to object to illegal migrants. I worked but more to the point, irish have the legal right to go to the uk. It's not comparable.
Look at tony slattery, jimmy carr, Steve Coogan. Not exactly a threat to the British way of life.

Comparing is ridiculous. Not the same.

This is so true, and if anyone is in any doubt of what is to come take a look at Bradford, London, Birmingham, Blackburn & Luton to name a few of the areas destroyed by mass immigration.

There’s no coming back from the damage done from mass immigration, these cities are more akin to third world countries.

a large proportion of these immigrants younger generations are very open about their detest of non Muslims.

Yeh, the "left elite" are so full of tolerance and empathy .... but they wont confront the truth, that islam is incompatible with our ways and muslims kinda mostly hate us.

Our values are not their values. They come here for financial security but they have no plan to respect western values.

And the the words 'wake' and 'up' are where I bow out. Have fun folks.

Haha hilarious every Irish person I knew was claiming the dole in the 80's and 90's in London some of them just coming for the summer to scam the system, Ireland has sent millions of economic migrants around the world but they love to kick off when the shoe is on the other foot

@hellesbells - well neither I nor any of the Irish people I knew were claiming anything. I moved over to London in 1987. Had a job before I went and somewhere to stay.

I agree we Irish have always moved around the world and I’m sure some have scammed the system as you say but it’s not something I saw.

I was at the protest in solidarity. The protest was completely peaceful until the PRU jumped out and apparently that is entirely ok as RTE, Virgin etc have chosen to slag off public but nothing about PRU attacking or pepper spraying pensioners.

I don't care if you are black, white or purple with green spots. A tent & sleeping bag, or a derelict empty factory is simply not good enough. Nobody but nobody should be made to settle for this.

If we cannot give all people in Ireland a proper bed then we cannot have them here.

I am a law abiding, tax paying citizen who raised law abiding tax paying citizens, we are not thugs or as Helen McEntee had no hesitation calling Dublin North Inner City people "scumbags".

I have a government job, not unemployment as is the rhetoric spouted by RTE etc. I hid down the back as I am well aware I would be penalised in work for being there.

Blimey me what type of people do you know? not one Irish person I know abused any system. The Irish I know worked hard and played hard within the communities they lived. Such a sad fact of life there is always those ready to cream off other people often the tax payer trying to make ends meet. I wouldn’t call it hilarious at all.

I despise Helen mcentee. An eu lapdog as opposed to working for the public who elected her. Not a public servant oh no but subservient to the eu and serves africa and ukraine very well. I mean what !! We have a govt who takes no heed of the people.
How dare she brand protesters scumbags,???
Calling her out of touch doesn't even cover it .
I thought their proverbial arses would be brought over the coals in a wipe out in local and eu elections
Just didn't happen.. I mean who voted for marie walsh??!!!.I certainly did not vote for any govt party or SF but at the last minute didn't vote for ciaran mullooly as he didnt think Ireland was full. Well I think it is and so does every working and non working irish person.its an absolute disgrace . And any one who complains will be punished with loss of jobs/ arrests/ branded racists not valid concerns. The govt is totally corrupt . I'm despairing of poor ireland 's future

Yeah most of my family came to England in the 70s and 80s as economic migrants. Some got high paid jobs and paid high taxes. Some got council houses and benefits and lots worked on the roads. Everyone got free NHS, state pension, schools for the kids, all that good stuff.
We had a couple of family members manage Irish Centres linking up the diaspora and it's one of those economic migrants that has the most to say about the 'illegals' and 'economic migrants' coming to England now that should be sent back, like he can't see any parallels.

What would you call people to hurl bricks at Garda? Pushing horses up to them. Setting fire to property, four possibly five times, who set up bottles with flammable liquid ready to be used? - Because pure out and out scumbags is exactly what I would call them. Plenty of them are no stranger to the courts! Going around in balaclavas scaring locals - pure scum.

Marie Walsh is an elected represented - so yes people voted for her- 71,476 (10.5%) of the first preference votes.

There is plenty of ways to engage in peaceful lawful protest - we are a country who has excellent history of facilitating it.

And as for your comment "Ireland was full. Well I think it is and so does every working and non working irish person" - ignorance is putting it kindly you do realise we had a significant higher population in the past. And no not every working person agrees with you.

It appears you have bought into the SM pure fantasy I suggest you access your information from legitimate sources.

I stand by what I said, I am not a thug, or a scumbag as HmcE call the inner city community last November.

I was at the peaceful protest on Friday and despite previous agreement to keep in the background the PRU jumped out of the vans and it kicked off.

But obviously since RTE and Virgin choose not show it, then all who were there and saw what really happened are not believed.

Words matter and if government ministers slag off communities with name calling, eventually people will embrace the title.

Don't even, there was a tiny piece of it peaceful and then when the event was concluded they were advised to disperse. The crowd didn't and warnings were given. Then it kicked off with missiles being hurled at the Garda - that isn't peaceful protest. And after a week long saga of absolutely shameful behaviour by the scum protesters why on earth wouldn't the Garda have back up.

You do realise they are civil servants doing their job to protect citizens and property? So while there may have been a very brief period of protesting, it moved back to the scum element very quickly.

I was there, the protest march was peaceful, the letter was handed in during the peaceful march was peaceful.

Call me a scumbag, I've been called a lot worse by Garda since I was 17 and locked away for being pregnant.

It is obvious you were not there.

I'm a civil servant and i hope the gardai will, after processing their part in screwing over their own country, decide to reject this work. Do they have a union, their union should protect them from being sacked for refusing to participate in serving the governments bizarre agenda to IGNORE immigration.

No my family were and I have seen the footage. It was a bloody disgrace. There is plenty of footage clearly showing the level of abuse the Gardai were up against it.

If you are an Irish civil servant, I would assume you would, or at the least should be aware of the ban on unions for military or Garda. They have representation not unions.

Well if you had a response I'm sure you'd have presented it to let us know how wrong we are. If you have any information to reassure us that what has happened in France, Britain and Scandinavia won't happen in Ireland then it would have been nice to hear it. Bowing out does lead me to suspect that you're in denial about what's to come.

No I didn't know that. That's a pity in this instance.

I don’t believe this at all. Where are you getting your propaganda information from- RTÉ?

Local residents have been ignored for years when raising their objections to this mass immigration, and let’s be honest the mass migration to date has been disastrous, with the increase in crime,sexual assaults and murders.

Ireland has enough of its own problems with criminals, unemployed & homelesss to deal with and doesn’t have the resources to deal with the problems of the third world too.

Before you know it, many areas in Ireland will be no go areas just like the towns and cities in England.

How many of them are lying about which country in South Africa they are coming from claiming to come from the Waterthorn country when in fact from safe countries like Kenya? No proper checks are done.

The African male that was murdered by the Scissor Sisters highlighted the lies these immigrants come with, a documentary was on there recently and he claimed when he came to Ireland he was from Somalia and that his family including children had been murdered and he had to flee fast. However after his murder when Irish authorities did proper checks they were able to find out that he was in fact from Kenya, where he left his wife & children. He was a violent and dangerous man towards women, a long history of perpetuating physical and sexual assaults against women.

I don’t believe for one minute he was an isolated case, thousands are coming from safe countries in Africa claiming they are from Somalia and similar war torn countries.
