L’Irlanda non può incolpare la carenza di alloggi per non accogliere i richiedenti asilo, le più alte regole del tribunale dell’UE

Like catnip for Irish media… They love inflaming the xenophobes with these topics.
Banty is knocking one out to this news…
“EU’s highest court” can do one.
How about the “highest court in the EU” takes a big step back, and literally fucks its own face?
Also, what’s that “court” high on?
This amounts to not letting the state say “we’re fucking useless and couldn’t be arsed sorting this problem over here and that’s our excuse for not sorting that problem over there”.
But of course that isn’t how the racist weirdos will interpret the judgment, which is exactly what the feckless gobshites in government want.
Bait for the nutjobs.
The problem is not immigration, its our incompetent government and the eejits blaming immigrants claiming to be “Irish patriots” are… well not in bed with the DUP as that would imply some form of equity but basically they are the DUP and Britain First fluffers.
Ugh the Gavin Pepper soggy biscuit types will be all over this
Good.
The government was arguing that a sudden influx of asylum seekers amounted to exceptional circumstances, or “force majeure”. In other words, saying it was beyond the control of the state.
The ECJ ruled that the state has a responsibility to be able to meet basic requirements, even in times of crisis, and Ireland had failed to even provide meaningful alternatives.
To my mind, that’s correct. The government failing to do something isn’t the same as the government being unable to do something, and they shouldn’t be able to hide their failures in one area behind their failures in another.
At this stage the EU highest court can get fucked.
There are no houses for anybody in Ireland anymore. Not unless you are loaded and even then it’s an issue.
Perhaps the ECJ should workshop a game of musical chairs to assist them to lean into the issues on the ground.
Follow it up with an evening of monopoly just in case there are any gaps in their understanding of the issues involved in our housing market.
Fuck me this thread is a mess. The ECJ isn’t saying that immigrants should get priority over Irish citizens. What they’re saying is that the Irish government made an agreement, and they are now breaking that agreement. It’s not hard to see that the ECJ are chastising the government for not only failing their own citizens by doing the bare minimum to end a housing catastrophe, but now also failing the asylum seekers they have a legal obligation to support.
Ireland’s racists certainly can though
the court is accurately pointing out that the Irish state made a commitment and is failing to live up to that. People are being fucking psychos about this
