“Look lads, we’ve fucked up and forced most of our construction workers to emigrate to Australia, while also making it impossible for new trades apprentices to earn a living, so can we not just import a few dozen thousand poor workers to cover for our refusal to address the underlying issues?”
Yes of course its very important to the industry without immigration the houses would not be needed.
Vital to pushing up house prices, through increased demand, and vital to undercutting native workers wages, with none of the savings passed on to home buyers.
Michael Martin needs to have a bit of courage and admit they have played it too loose with migration, and stop letting corporations and industry dictate Ireland’s immigration policy.
Tens of thousands of homeless Irish citizens, thousands of young Irish leaving the country and this is the plan. Creep
Construction has low immigrant-participation.
17 percent of the industry comprises of immigrants and the bulk of that are immigrants from the EU like Poles and Lithuanians.
So, there’s some very sinister and Orwellian stuff being pushed here by Martin.
Huh. Of course.
Most of them would be looking to buy houses not build them. Lol
You know Mehole has never been on a building site in his life . There’s been plenty of migrants working on building sites for the last 25 years. He’s trying anything to deflect blame from FF failures since the crash
Here in the United States — don’t throw golf balls at me, I wasn’t at the Ryder cup — I often hear people talking about how important immigrants are to the economy, how illegal immigration is necessary for certain industries to survive, etc. And what it always sounds like to me is people saying “Hey, don’t take away our subservient peasant class! We’re too lazy to do that work ourselves!”
Not much diversity outside of the EU on construction sites. Worked on loads in Dublin and saw maybe two non EU people working out of thousands. Wrong angle to pursue
Trying to obscure their own responsibility for the crap immigration system, inflation and housing disasters and abandoning the social contract
FF and FG are a shower of corrupt incompetence and they are a disgrace
Sure they can pull a Qatar and call it a day.
This isn’t the immigration people have an issue with. It’s the immigration the immigration that’s inflating our homeless numbers.
I have noticed that a lot of single housing renovation work seems to be done almost exclusively by eastern europeans why a lot of infrastructure work seems to be completed by British or NI. Anything driving this?
They created the circumstances that forced many tradies to immigrate away, and made it difficult for apprentices to join a trade. Now they’ve put us in a position where we need foreign tradies — people who will undercut normal rates, and people who are less likely to unionise and more likely to work against unions.
I have no problem at all with immigrants, they’re trying to improve their own lives like any of us. But I do have a problem with the government using immigrants to undercut wages and weaken unions. It’s exploitative.
Jesus Michael I would have more respect if you just quit while you were …. well I was going to say “ahead” but let’s face it the country is in a terrible state.
Don’t worry, the construction chiefs are already on top of hiring as many immigrants as possible. It seems to have become their go to method to squeeze more profit from every job as possible; they can pay them less, the immigrants will accept crap overtime rates therefore undermining Irish workers ability to negotiate a better rate. Wages will be wrong every second week by a half hour or hour, something that the migrants workers are less likely to challenge.
