Did you know …

Irish Govt also provides information on voting & elections in 16 foreign languages??

You don’t need to be an Irish citizen to vote in local elections.

the Govt are drastically underestimating the effects of this and

the importance of a shared language to promote integration.

Even when they're telling you the truth it's only a half truth.

The public are now 33% more likely to list immigration as a key national issue than they were three years ago, according to figures from the Central Statistics Office (CSO) (IT IS CLEAR THE REAL FIGURE IS DOWNPLAYED - EVEN THE DOG ON THE STREET IS WORRIED ABOUT IMMIGRATION).

Across a survey that assessed the population's top three voting concerns, housing was the most common answer, with 64% of respondents flagging issues around availability, quality, and affordability as a wedge issue (which is also an immigration issue).

Concerns around housing were matched with worries about the spiralling cost of living, with 64% citing it as a key issue, a four percentage point rise from 2023.

Other issues such as essential services (healthcare and education) and the environment recorded significant drop-offs in levels of public interest, dropping by 12 and 15 percentage points.

The CSO surveyed 2,194 respondents across a range of demographics, questioning attitudes on national security, corruption, poverty, and international diplomacy.

The survey was part of a wider effort conducted across the OECD's 38 countries. Despite a nose-dive in interest, Ireland was an outlier when it came to concerns about the quality of essential services.

"Only Iceland (52%) and Finland (49%) put this topic higher," said Sarah Crilly, a CSO statistician in the social cohesion unit.

"In the United Kingdom, 25% of respondents reported the availability, quality, or affordability of essential services as one of the top three issues.

"In Ireland, there was a notable difference on the importance of this issue for men and women, with 38% of men and 52% of women ranking it among their top three issues.

"Analysis by the employment status of the respondent showed that 51% of those who were unemployed or otherwise not working identified the availability, quality, or affordability of essential services as one of their top three issues compared with 36% of retired respondents."

A quarter (24%) reported immigration as a top-three issue in 2025, compared with 16% in 2023. Men were 18% more likely to cite it as a major issue than women, with the sentiment being particularly pronounced among respondents 50 years or older (27% listed immigration as a top issue).

Respondents who were retired or employed were also less likely to cite issues over poverty and inequality. The same cohort of retired workers was more likely to express fears about crime and safety compared to their younger counterparts.

Housing concerns were felt most acutely among younger generations, with 84% aged 18-28 citing it as a top-three issue, compared to 59% of those over 50.

Imagine going to America, Australia, Canada, Africa, Asia and and most countries (illegally in many cases) and then demanding the state pays for your housing and gives you money.
Social housing should only be available for Irish Citizens. If you go to any country and can’t afford to accommodate yourself, you should go home or be deported.

Remember the Indian surgeon, Dr. Ashish Uday Lal (qualified in New Zealand), caused the death of 18-year-old Jessica in May 2018 at University Hospital Limerick.
During elective surgery to remove a benign abdominal tumour, he damaged her aorta, resulting in massive blood loss. Dr. Lal refused to seek help, explicitly forbidding the head nurse from contacting a vascular surgeon (Prof. Eamon Kavanagh) on two occasions, and proceeded with inadequate surgical support despite the case’s complexity. Jessica died three days later from multiple organ failure. The coroner returned a verdict of medical misadventure.
In January 2026, Dr. Lal admitted three counts of professional misconduct and ten counts of poor professional performance before the Medical Council’s fitness-to-practice inquiry. He apologised to Jessica’s family.
Yet nearly eight years later (as of June 2026), he remains on full paid administrative leave from the HSE. He continues to receive his full consultant salary - currently in the €238,000–€286,000+ range per year (with inflation adjustments), amounting to roughly €1.8–2.1 million in public funds.
Remarkably, while receiving this full Irish taxpayer-funded salary, the HSE permitted him to work for approximately one year as a supervised locum consultant general surgeon at Gisborne Hospital in New Zealand, where he earned additional income on top of his HSE pay.
No final dismissal has taken place due to ongoing regulatory and employment processes. The case has sparked widespread public anger over accountability in the health service.

So he has been receiving roughly €4,6k to €5,5k per week for nearly 8 years while on paid administrative leave.
This is pure basic salary - it doesn't include any on-call allowances or other extras that consultants can earn when actively working.
