Ireland mass immigration
"Immigration is now not merely the dominant feature of Irish life, it is the greatest threat to the existence of the Irish nation as a
coherent, and cohesive whole." ~ Kevin Myers, September 2007
"And I then waited for other responses from Late Late viewers, and the phone-calls from our many radio stations, to confirm that debate was now under way. Instead, almost total silence. Why? Perhaps the Irish people are simply too cowardly to survive as a people: they would, apparently, prefer to go to their demographic doom, rather than risk being called rude names.
So be it. I have done my best, and can do no more.
The bridge stands unmanned as Lars Porsena's legions approach, and this time there is no Horatio. Ireland, as Ireland, is about to vanish, just as Leicester, Bradford, Luton, Rotterdam, et cetera, have already done.
Fare thee well Enniskillen, and Erin's Green Isle." ~ Kevin Myers, October 2007
Kevin Myers' appearance on the Late Late Show in 2007 talking about the danger that mass immigration poses to Ireland. This was removed from Youtube by RTÉ and the video here had to be cobbled together from unsympathetic tweets from Newsworthy.ie. Some parts were missing. Nothing could be done about the quality.
Excerpts from Kevin's article mentioned in the video, "The problem isn't racism, it's the tidal wave of immigrants":
"No country has ever accepted, never mind assimilated, the volumes of foreigners now present in this state. We have some 400,000 legal immigrants; but everyone knows that the army of illegals, especially Africans and Chinese, is vast, and probably tops 200,000. In all, Ireland has received at least 600,000 immigrants, most of them within the past five years. It could be many more. No one has the least idea.
In the US, such immigration would translate into an inward population movement of 45 million. In the UK, the figure would be nine million. Needless to say, neither state would be so idiotic or feckless as allow such vast numbers to enter.
Only Ireland would be so idiotic and so morally lethargic as to allow such massive inward population movements.
And of course, we haven't got the resources to cope with the consequences of such an influx. But worse than our lack of resources, is our lack of courage in confronting the issue.
We do not have policies, but inept evasiveness: and perhaps worst of all, we have a posturing gallery of home-grown jackanapes ready to shriek "racism" wherever and whenever they see that things are not going quite the way that immigrants want.
Thus, on any discussion on RTE, especially from its newsroom, immigrants are never held responsible for choosing to come here. Instead, we hear endless complaints that Irish institutions had not prepared themselves properly for their arrival.
On the News at One on Monday, African after African in Balbriggan complained there were no places for their children in the existing local schools.
Not once was the question posed: what was the real reason for the Africans not having places in schools? Answer: they'd only just come here.
Instead, Africans who were just off the boat were allowed to accuse us of racism for not having school places awaiting their children.
There's also the Paddy- factor in all this. It's impossible for any outsider to understand that this state is almost pathologically incapable of planning anything.
This is the land of the Red Cow Roundabout and motorways without service stations, rest-stops or toilets. So how could we be expected seven years ago to have planned school-building projects in north county Dublin for Africans as yet unborn?
If blaming ourselves for our failure to plan for Africa's educational needs were not fatuous enough, some poor spokeswoman from the Catholic archdiocese of Dublin had to defend the Catholic Church against an RTE journalist's accusations of bigotry.
Naturally, in this unprincipled liberal Ireland, for the Catholic Church to insist that Catholic schools have a primary duty to educate Catholics is nowadays both racist and sectarian.
But of course, no one on RTE would ever dream of proposing that Islamic madrasahs should take in Jewish, Catholic or Hindu pupils: in the new Ireland, the only people who are expected to bend their own rules are the Irish Catholic majority.
Accompanying this presumption is the pious and all-prevalent dogma that immigrants will on arrival abandon ancient loyalties, and will promptly don a Hibernian mantle: hence the brainless cliche, wittered endlessly by journalists and politicians alike, "the New Irish".
Sorry. This is conceited gibberish. Why would a Pole surrender something which the Polish people have fought for a thousand years to retain?
Why the presumption that an Asian Muslim who lives in Ireland is in any way Irish?
My mother lived most of her life in England, but never for a second thought of herself as English.
The media should be asking the big question, 'Why are we still admitting hundreds of thousands of immigrants?'
Instead, we are obsessing with the relatively trivial question of: Are the Irish people, who after all have admitted vast armies of strangers to their national home, racist?
This is self-hatred at its most pathetic, and its most self-defeating.
Whether Irish people are "racist" is irrelevant. We have created a society whose apparent cohesiveness is totally dependent on immigration-fuelled economic growth. That growth must one day come to an end.
Then what, in Darndale, Coolock, or even Balbriggan?"

A UN delegate is stunned at the number of NGOs in Ireland screwing the Irish taxpayer in the racial grievance sector. This was at a UN meeting in Geneva this month where the state was taken to task over it's supposed failure to effectively combat "racism" in Irish society. Minister for Direct Plantation David Stanton and a large number of NGOs were in attendance, including Ireland's favourite Black Studies professor, Dr. Ebun Joseph.
An extraordinary amount of bollocks was spoken at the meeting. Salome Mbugua, a researcher, gender equality activist and human rights advocate with the Irish Human Rights and Equality Network said: "Ireland has always been a diverse society, linguistically, ethnically and religiously. Diversity is at the core of what it means to be Irish".
The meeting concluded on Friday 13th of December with the UN calling for Ireland to adopt a new national action plan against racism and to phase out direct provision as part of a series of recommendations to end racial discrimination.
The UN committee expressed concern about “gaps” in existing anti-racial discrimination, particularly the State’s failure to renew its national action plan against racism since 2008 and the disbandment of the National Consultative Committee on Racism and Interculturalism.
It called for the Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill to be enacted “expeditiously” and said acts of hate speech committed by politicians should be effectively investigated and prosecuted.
The committee warned of a “high incidence of racial profiling by gardaí” and called for legislation to prohibit the practice and an independent complaints mechanism to handle such issues.
The judicial council, gardaí, prosecutors and judges should also receive training on the proper methods for identifying, investigating and prosecuting racist hate crime, while legislative provisions should be made for crimes with a racist motivation, it said.
The committee recommended that Travellers, Roma and people of African descent receive improved access to social housing, and called for a moratorium on evictions of Traveller accommodations. The national Traveller and Roma inclusion strategy should also be fully implemented through concrete action plans, clear targets and time frames, it said.
Measures should be taken to address all forms of discrimination towards people of African descent, particularly in employment and education, while the Government should step up its plans to mark the UN decade for people of African descent, it said.
Migrant women who are victims of sexual violence should be guaranteed a legal stay regardless of their residence status until they have recovered, while victims of trafficking should have access to shelters and legal protection, it said.
Recommendations also included a significant review and renewal of Ireland’s equality legislation and the State’s incorporation of the Convention on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (Cerd) into domestic law. Ireland should also stop purchasing coal from Colombia’s Cerejon mine, it said.
“We need as a society to ensure that in our communities and country, racism has no safe harbour, no resting place,” said commission member Salome Mbugua. The commission said it would continue to monitor the State’s progress on the UN recommendations.

National Party leader Justin Barrett's comments in opposition to a direct provision centre in Borrisokane being aired on RTÉ back in November 2019. Barrett wasn't invited onto the programme at the time. Claire Byrne wrote a hostile article about Barrett before the show "Have we forgotten how the Irish used to be treated abroad?", in which she said the following:
"Justin Barrett’s party wants to deport all immigrants living in Ireland. He himself has spoken at rallies held by Nazi sympathisers and Italian fascists. He believes that a woman’s place is in the home, that they are better at minding children than men and should not do heavy manual labour.
The question those who object to direct provision must answer is: What exactly are you objecting to? Are you truly worried about the deficiencies of the direct provision system? Are you genuinely concerned about the pressure on local services? Or do you subscribe to the far-right view of Ireland and the Irish put forward by Justin Barrett and his National Party?
There is plenty of debate around whether people like Justin Barrett should be heard on national media. Is the best way to deal with them not to give them a voice? If you give them a platform, that could be seen as providing them with an opportunity to spread the hate and venom that they promote.
We have thought long and hard about this on Claire Byrne Live. With the direct provision protests now spreading by the week, we have decided that it is important for everyone to hear what those far-right groups who infiltrate communities actually stand for. That is why we have decided to broadcast a recording of Justin Barrett speaking at the meeting in Borrisokane."

The Irish regime has gone into overdrive condemning supposed racism in Irish society following the death of one black man across the Atlanic Ocean. Caretaker Taoiseach Leo Varadkar told Pat Kenny that the next government should focus on rooting out racism and making sure that people from ethnic minority backgrounds are better represented in the public service.
No mention in the MSM of course about the violent hateful attack by African thugs on a young Irish lad in Limerick:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CsRCXw-Zh6c
The anti-Irish Times has run articles from young black people in Ireland about how Irish people with their "white previelege" have never had to think about racism in their country. In one article, Boni Odoemene (25), former DIT Students’ Union president, told The Irish Times the following:
“When I was 11 I was called n***r for the first time and had to ask my dad what the word meant. When I was 20 a guy called me a black b*****d on the street and no one passing by said anything. What’s struck with me the most is Irish people were surprised to hear this; they say they ‘literally had no clue’. This is the personification of white privilege; white Irish people have never had to think or talk about this.”
While racist police brutality is not a problem in Ireland, Garda “micro-aggressions” towards people of colour happen all the time, says Odoemene, who now works at the University of Birmingham. “I never had any issues with guards growing up but as I became a man I noticed how they approached me differently compared to white friends.”
Amanda Adé, who spoke outside the US embassy at Monday’s protest, says racism has been “programmed into people’s consciousness” and that many Irish are “blissfully ignorant” of their prejudices towards people of colour.
People need to learn to call out racist remarks and not “brush them off as banter”, says Adé. “It’s great the black Irish community finally has the courage to step up. It helps people realise racism is real and brings it beyond what’s going on in America. It brings it home to Ireland.”

Following the death of one black man across the Atlantic Ocean, Irish politicians, media personalities, celebrities, "influencers" and racial grievance mongers are all now waxing lyrical about racial injustice in America and the need to tackle "systemic racism" in Irish society. Some politicians called for the end of direct provision. Others called for more diversity in education. The pro-immigration NGOs are calling for a new national action plan on racism and the introduction of hate crime legislation without delay. Is it any wonder the country is going down the swanney with these traitors running the show?

A failed Albanian asylum seeker who was granted leave to remain in the state and subsequently became an Irish citizen, has become the first person in Ireland to be convicted for providing false and misleading information in the process of applying for Irish citizenship.
Emri Bardhoshi pleaded guilty to breaching Section 29A of the Irish Nationality and Citizen Act at Mullingar Circuit Court.
He pleaded guilty to a breach of the Passport Act 2008 by using similar information to falsely obtain Irish passports for himself and his three Irish-born children aged four to seven years. His oldest child, an eight-year-old boy, was born in Albania and holds an Albanian passport.
Bardhoshi came to Ireland in the back of lorry in 2001 claiming he was a Kosovan fleeing war in the Balkans.
Det Garda Derek Thompson of the Garda National Immigration Bureau said Bardhoshi had presented himself as Islihat Doli, a Kosovan, five years younger than his real age on his arrival in Ireland 19 years ago.
Judge Keenan Johnson said it was an unusual prosecution and one that he had never come across before. He said the whole process of applying for citizenship was built on integrity honesty and trust but Bardhoshi's actions had undermined the cornerstone of the whole system.

The process of handing Ireland away continues with yet more citizenship ceremonies in Killarney. 5,000 foreign nationals were granted Irish citizenship today and yesterday. The new citizens come from 135 separate countries. Here’s the totals for the top 10 countries:
United Kingdom – 982
Poland – 715
Romania – 496
India – 370
Nigeria – 201
Brazil – 171
Latvia – 138
Philippines 137
China – 113
USA – 113
It was mentioned in the news report that 132,000 people from 180 countries have become new citizens since 2011.
The ceremonies are being held following a Court of Appeal decision last November, which clarified the law in relation to residency requirements for citizenship candidates (Residency law became more lax). An earlier High Court decision had led to the postponement of ceremonies for the latter half of 2019.
To become a citizen of Ireland, a foreign national must have 5 years reckonable residence out of the last 9 years, and if their application is successful will pay about €1000.
On March 2nd at the first ceremony, the Minister for Justice and Equality, Charlie Flanagan, welcomed the new citizens, noting that the day will be a milestone in their lives:
"The possibilities opened up to you in Ireland today are almost limitless; perhaps one day, you or a child or grandchild of yours, could be up here as a Government Minister, or as a Judge, or perhaps the President of Ireland."
On March 3rd at the second ceremony, presided over by Minister of State for Equality, Immigration and Integration David Stanton, retired Circuit Court Judge Paddy McMahon said the following (16:27):
"As new citizens you will contribute to the creation of a new inclusive and diverse society. In bringing your culture and traditions and unique experiences to this country and joining them with ours you redefine what it means to be Irish and you will enrich our national life."

Fine Gael have officially deselected Wexford by-election candidate Verona Murphy over her comments about security concerns around illegal migrants entering the country. Taoiseach Leo Varadkar said that Murphy had caused "reputational damage" to Fine Gael, and that her comments were "very wrong and very hurtful to some of our migrant communities".
Murphy spoke to Ivan Yates on Newstalk and to South East Radio about how a media ban was placed on her by Fine Gael in the final days of the Wexford by-election campaign:
https://www.bitchute.com/video/wy1U8nbSaQRZ/
In those interviews she reiterated the need for greater security checks about people entering Ireland. "Am I not allowed to raise the security issues these unrestricted migrants bring?". "Do we have to wait to have a London bridge incident on Wexford Bridge?"
Following her comments on South East Radio, Minister for Health Simon Harris said “The decision to deselect her is looking better by the moment. I think anybody who engages in stoking what I believe are to be unfounded racist fears has no place in the Fine Gael party. I thought the comments this morning… gave a great insight perhaps into why it’s best that she’s been deselected.”
Murphy responded on Newstalk: “Well, I think what you have there is probably one of the worst Ministers for Health. He’ll probably go down in history deflecting from his own ineptitude. I don’t know if it warrants a comment."
Verona Murphy has said she will decide by mid-January whether she will run as an independent candidate at the next general election. She got 9,543 1st preferences votes in the Wexford by-election.

A retired member of An Garda Síochána has been arrested on suspicion of bribery over fraudulent immigration applications. The man in his sixties, is suspected of taking bribes from a “fixer” who brought applicants in large numbers to his Garda station in the Western Region to have their forms stamped. The applications were from Indian and Pakistani applicants.
The garda allegedly stamped documents certifying the applicants had submitted the relevant documents required to gain permission to reside and work in the country.
The irregularities first came to light two years ago and the man has since retired from the Garda. According to the Irish Daily Mail, which first reported on the investigation earlier this year, the man has already been interviewed by detectives.
The man was arrested on Wednesday morning by gardaí from the Roscommon/Longford Division who were assisted by an investigative team from the Garda National Immigration Bureau and officials from the Department of Justice. He is being held under Section Four of the Criminal Justice Act 1984 and can be questioned for up to 24 hours.
It is understood the man may have fraudulently stamped forms for several hundred people before the matter came to light. The ex-garda is suspected to have taken large sums of money - possibly several thousand euro per form – from a Pakistani fixer who is believed to be part of a criminal group involved in sophisticated immigration fraud in Ireland and other countries.
The immigrants entered the country on student visas and sought permission to stay on after those expired.
The alleged scam came to light when officials noticed an unusually high number of forms were being stamped by the same garda in a county which does not have a particularly high population of non-nationals.
Officials have since been reviewing every application signed by the ex-garda in the last five years and attempting to track down the immigrants concerned. Some have been located but many are thought to have already left the country. As many as 1,000 applications may be affected.

A study from the Central Bank has found that 34,000 new dwellings will be needed each year for the next decade to keep up with demand. The demand for housing comes from a natural increase in the population and more people coming to live in the country.
Today's study from the Central Bank found that in order for housing to have kept up with the growth in the population, around 27,000 dwellings per year would have had to be built in the past eight years from 2011 until 2019. However, the average housing completion rate for this period was just 10,500 dwellings a year.
Since 2016, the recovery in the economy has also meant more people are returning to Ireland and more people from abroad are coming to live here. This accounts for around a third of housing demand.
The Central Bank study shows that from the years 2006 to 2011, the overall population grew by 348,000 with 122,000 or just over a third from net inward migration.
After the crash - between the years 2011 and 2016 - 25,000 people left the country but the population kept growing, adding 175,000 people.
When the economy picked up again from 2016, the numbers coming into the country also went up. Between 2016 and 2019, it is estimated there was net inward migration of 104,000 with the population overall increasing by 182,000.
The current population stands at 4.922 million. In 2006, it had stood at 4.233 million.

64 "vulnerable" asylum seekers are to be housed in an upgraded direct provision centre in Ennis, County Clare. Clare Lodge on Carmody Street will provide the accommodation. It was previously used to provide similar accommodation between 2002 and 2009.
A 60% increase in the number of asylum seekers arriving in Ireland has prompted the Department to seek additional accommodation, and this facility will be the third in Clare and the fortieth in the country.
Clare Fine Gael Senator Martin Conway, says it’s a necessary development, and one which will receive a warm welcome in Ennis.
Orla Ní Fhéilí of the Clare Immigrant Support Centre says the facilities for independent living will make a phenomenal difference to the people living there.
The centre will be run by Bridgestock Care Ltd., which operates existing centres in Ballyhaunis and Sligo and it’s understood they’ll employ 15 people there.
The Department of Justice said the decision follows a countrywide tendering process.
A delegation of local councillors is due to visit the centre to inspect the facilities and see what supports are in place for the new residents. It is understood the 64 residents - mostly men - will have their own cooking facilities and will move to Clare Lodge in small groups over the coming months.
Mayor of Ennis Johnny Flynn said the town has a long tradition of working with refugees who came there, many through Shannon Airport. He said they want to see how best they can be welcomed and supported to integrate into the local community, through sport, education and other services.
In a statement, Minister of State David Stanton expressed confidence that the people of Ennis would be “warm and welcoming,” saying this would help promote integration between its residents and the local community.

Newstalk's Shane Coleman has dismissed calls for a national debate on immigration made by Fine Gael Minister Michael Ring. Minister Ring criticised the Justice Department for leaving communities in the dark about asylum seekers being located in their areas.
He told RTE Radio’s News at One: “I was angry that I wasn’t told, people were ringing me up, nobody had the facts, I know now that the Department are going to set up an inter-departmental committee to talk to people in future. He added: “The time has come when we need to have a national debate in relation to asylum seekers, in relation to immigration and we need to have that national debate now."
When asked which side of the debate he was on in regard to the protests at Achill, he said: “I’m on every side of the debate. I think we have to talk to people and I think we have to support and help people to come into this country.”
Elsewhere, Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has said that racists are trying to exploit communities by spreading fear about the arrival of migrants. In a speech he gave to the Immigrant Council of Ireland on Monday, the Taoiseach said that people "need to call out the scaremongering", adding that our health system would not function without migrants.
Mr Varadkar said he understands why some towns feel their identity is threatened when plans are instigated to rehouse migrants. But he argued: "It's never said but I think it is worth saying there are no protests in communities that already have accommodation centres. "The fear of the new evaporates, when people meet the reality, particularly the very people who are that reality."
Mr Varadkar said the housing crisis and decline in rural Ireland are not caused by migration and people should not try to claim that they are.
"Migration is a good thing for our diversity, our society. There are many countries in the world that people want to leave. Isn't it a great thing that we live in a country that people want to come to."

"THE TERROR OF GOODBYE"

The clampdown on the opposition towards mass immigration and the demographic transformation of Irish society is to get fully underway next year with the government planning to introduce new hate speech and hate crime legislation.
Speaking on RTÉ's Drivetime, Charlie Flanagan said he would like to see new legislation on hate speech introduced next year, saying it is important that our legislation in this area is fit for purpose.
A public consultation has been launched to update Ireland's law regulating hate speech. The consultation phase will run to 13 December, while a second phase dealing with hate crime will be published in the new year.
Mr Flanagan said there have been about 50 prosecutions under the existing legislation in the 30 years it has existed, with a handful of convictions. He said this proves that the legislation is "somewhat weaker" than it should be and is why the Government is now looking at improvements.
Calling on people to engage with the Department of Justice during the consultation process, the Laois TD said he wanted the new legislation to be balanced.
"I don't want to interfere with the fundamental freedom of speech but at the same time I'm very concerned about what I'm hearing as to the manner in which minority groups in particular are being treated and the fact that offensive speech, hate speech is becoming common place in Ireland.
"I don't think that is good and I want to outlaw it," he said.
Mr Flanagan was also asked about comments made in the Dáil earlier today by Sinn Féin TD Martin Kenny. The Sligo-Leitrim TD raised concerns during Leaders' Questions about the increasing use of "far right" language, particularly in conversations around Direct Provision centres.
Mr Kenny told the Dáil that legitimate concerns people may hold about such centres are being "twisted into reasons to be intolerant". Mr Flanagan said it is a "vociferous minority" who are engaging in the use of this language, and said he had no difficulty in calling ..
The small Leitrim town of Ballinamore is now on a collision course with the Department of Justice, after residents began what they say will be a continuous and peaceful demonstration outside an apartment complex in the town where it is planned to accommodate 130 asylum seekers. The organisers said the protest would continue until the Government listened to the people on the issues surrounding such centres. An initial protest was held outside the complex last night when people walked from what was described as a private community meeting on the issue.
Spokesman Gordon Hughes said that there were more than 350 people at the meeting and a mandate was given to a number of local people to speak on behalf of the community. In a statement, the newly formed Ballinamore Community Group stressed that their town had been known for many years as "the friendly town", which had always welcomed visitors and new residents to the area with open arms. However, the group expresses "grave concerns and complete opposition to, the proposed re-housing of 130 asylum seekers in an apartment compound in the town".
While the group said it was fully aware and supportive of the Government's commitment as part of the EU to accommodate those who would seek refuge from war, famine or persecution, they "feel that the proposed resettlement of such large numbers of people in such a small community is completely disproportionate to the needs of both the asylum seekers and the community at large".
With a population of 914 people, the group says that the numbers of people being considered for Ballinamore exceeds 15% of the population, when proportional norms around resettlement is recognised as being between 1% and 2% of the local population.
Mr Hughes said that there has been no public consultation on the matter.
"We call on the Department of Justice to halt these proceedings immediately, to listen to the people of Ireland and to re-evaluate its policies on provision centres across the country."..

In January, 2018, the Irish Independent reported of an alleged, undeclared scheme being operated by the immigration authorities allowing failed asylum seekers without a criminal record and who had been in Ireland for five years or more, to stay. Legal professionals working on asylum cases referred to this scheme as the "scheme that doesn’t exist".

If an asylum seeker has their application for refugee status rejected, they can appeal the decision. If an asylum seeker does not qualify to be a refugee but is at risk of serious harm if sent home, they may be given a status called "Subsidiary Protection" (SP).
An asylum seeker can apply for SP at the same time they apply for asylum. The application for SP will be reviewed if they are refused refugee status. A negative determination in regard to an application for SP can be appealed to the International Protection Appeals Tribunal.
If an asylum seeker does not qualify for refugee status or for SP, they may be given permission to stay in Ireland for humanitarian or other reasons. This is called "Permission to Remain". As someone with Permission to Remain they will be given many of the same rights as an Irish citizen.

Director of the Iona Institute, David Quinn, debates Fianna Fáil spokesperson on Equality, Integration and Immigration, Fiona O'Loughlin, on whether or not the government should be doing more to tackle hate speech and hate crimes through legislation.
A number of incidents have led to clamours from pro-migration quangos for hate speech legislation, the latest being Gemma O'Doherty challenging how a mixed-race couple (Fiona Ryan and her fiance Jonathan Mathis) in a Lidl advertisement could accurately be described as "The Ryans":
