Irish 0.046% world pop, a tiny ancient people, have every right to their homeland, culture & id intact. Immigration changing it fast. Preserve our uniqueness
FG voters are the 37% of Irish people that own their own homes outright with no debt whatsoever. A very privileged group of 680k. They don’t live in the reality that the majority of the population lives in. This is from the CSO website. Do not be spect this group to have empathy for those struggling in life as it’s not their lived reality.
@EoinLenihan It occurred to me also today that family reunification is the biggest barrier to integration. We ask too little of the newcomers that come to our countries.
@TheMandyGall My waste collection service announced this week that it’s no longer accepting glas boules for collection. Only one thing for it promptly cancelled my service and moved to their competitor.
In this week's episode, John lets loose: "Riad Bouchaker is a poster boy for everything we have been told for years doesn't happen in the Irish immigration system":
This is a Labour Party campaign video for Helen Ogbu.
She says, and I quote, "the first time I came to Ireland was my husband was involved in politics. There was a target on his life. So the best thing for us was for us not to be around."
His formal political campaign only launched in August 2010. He was assassinated two months later in October 2010. She was claiming asylum 4 years before this.
She also leaves out that the real first time she ever came to Ireland was 2001. While heavily pregnant. She gave birth to her first child in an Irish hospital. Her daughter received automatic Irish citizenship.
That is NOT a small detail to forget. She had her first child here in one of our hospitals. Why isn't that presented as the first time she came to Ireland?
This was during the height of Ireland's birth tourism crisis. She then presents her husband's death nine years later as the starting point of her Irish story.
Why are Labour and Helen presenting it this way?
