@LittlePuckrs I get them used to catching a static ball at height to build confidence, I hold the ball up around shoulder height and ask them to take a run and jump to catch.
I then move on to catching a moving ball by letting the ball drop just before they catch it.
I spent nearly 6 years in the UK.
I worked hard. I paid my taxes. I kept my head down. I was grateful for the opportunities I had there.
I never voted.
I never interfered in their politics.
Even on Brexit, I held my tongue. It was not my country. It was not my decision.
Ireland was my country. I always planned to come home.
That is why I cannot fathom the arrogance of people who come here and demand we change our laws to suit them.
To demand we become more authoritarian for their comfort.
To play the victim in the headlines while ignoring the strain their mass arrival puts on our housing, our wages, our services.
That is not fairness. It is not respect. And it will not stand.
We now have groups forming not to join Irish life, but to bend it to their will.
This is happening with several migrant communities, and India is only one example.
This is not integration, it is a challenge to the Irish nation.
Mass immigration from one country to the point it becomes a political bloc is a mistake. We made that mistake with India.
It must end now. Suspend the visas. Slow the flow. Let Ireland breathe.
This is not the United States. This is not Canada.
There is one culture here, Irish culture.
If you will not respect it, if you will not live within it, there are hundreds of other countries you can choose.
Every day the news gets darker, the country less liveable. Each day the Irish people are being goaded and disrespected more, as if the aim is to see how much we will take before we break. The voices of those who built this nation are being pushed aside, replaced by those who neither shaped it nor understand what it took to keep it alive.
This cannot go on forever.
If it does, the backlash will be almighty. The Government is playing with fire. The Dublin riots will look small beside what they are stoking now.
The Irish are a patient people. Quiet, good people. But push us too far, disrespect us, try to bully us in our own home, and you will meet another side entirely. If that day comes, God help those who meet that side.
