Do we not already have limitations on non-eu immigration?

He’s right.
1m extra migrants over next 15 years and 2 million extra by 2060 is genuinely mental.

What a revolutionary idea.

He’s absolutely right, it seems like such basic math, if we have ten houses, and 20 people want them, bringing 100 more won’t make those houses more available

Stop trying your common sense. The Irish government will never develop that skill.
Unless it comes in a brown envelope

They will have to choose between immigration and the quality of life of Irish/EU citizens who live here.
Why are we filling our cities with Brazilian English students, Muslims and Ukrainians when we can’t even house our own?
I am in favour of open borders with other EU countries as I like multiculturalism to some extent, but we need to start making choices about who we prioritise.

I would consider myself to be centre-right when it comes to immigration. I believe our immigration policies have suppressed wages, I believe one of the reasons why Trump was elected and supported by unions was because of this. Illegal/open immigration can harm the working person. I say all this because THIS article is slop.
The facts are. Property funds are buying up entire communities to rent out. The developers have a strangle-hold on supply thus keeping property prices high (profits high) and in short supply. It means our TDs can get even more money for their rental properties (conflict of interest) It’s one big industry looking after each other. Not the common gardner tax payer.
I close by saying this article isn’t about sensible immigration policies, it’s about misdirection. Don’t look at the actual facts but let’s simply blame immigration.

And who is going to build these housing units? Given that we’ve already hit the ceiling on domestic labour?

Abolish height limits in city centers.

But if we want to build the roads, have nursery staff, medics, nurses, houses etc we need people from abroad it seems. Assuming the labour force and social welfare data is trustworthy.
