It’s mad that having any semblance of immigration policy is seen as somewhat xenophobic or reactionary to some people.
You can still treat people with dignity and respect and also recognise we need to control the numbers coming here as our services are overstretched

It’s absolutely mad. O’Callaghans policies here are reasonable yet every single commentator that I heard on RTE was complaining that it was too harsh. No balance at all and no semblance of balance. You’d think from listening to the coverage that the Danes were out and out racists and we were doing our best to out compete them. Total nonsense.
Go away out of that. Over 60% of applications are denied, the system is rife with fraud. Every single one of the 60% came here because of the pull factors.
The amount of money that has been wasted on this system is criminal and the whole thing lacks public support. If we do not have mild sensible reforms it simply leaves the door open for extremists.

It’s sad that the government are trying to win back support from the haters and losers. They have no vision for Ireland and are trying to champion fairness by going after lowest possible hanging fruit. Sad

Sweden did what we do thirty years ago.
They’re paying for it now.
Time for accountability.

Immigration policy needs to legal under international law. It needs to be fair to our brothers in Europe, the Irish people and those in need internationally. It needs to consider short and long term economics and population growth. It’s a minefield riddled with compromises and I guarantee no one will be 100% happy with it

Two countries Denmark and Sweden.
One totally fucked their migration policy, the other nailed it.

With AI down the line cutting away at jobs as well, who knows. The developed world may be in for a shock if current reports are right.

The media are not hated enough in this country.
