we are not giving refugees houses; we are putting them into hotels."

"Around 800 Ukrainian refugees will be housed in 200 modular homes by Easter, Children's Minister Roderic O'Gorman has said.

The first such homes for refugees will be built in Cavan Town, Mahon in Co Cork, Thurles, Co Tipperary, Sligo and Claremorris, Co Mayo. Construction works are currently under way."

So yes that twitter account is wrong for distorting the full jist of what she was saying but still - she is wrong in that part of the quotation. We are slotting them in anywhere, hotels, schools, halls, houses, you name it.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot they were lashing up those modular homes there about 200 yards in a straight line from me gaff as well how the fuck did I miss that open goal chance there. Interestingly, as is the general run of things it's being built to join up with the estate in the town with the most Africans, Travellers and Middle Eastern lads so those of us on the other side of the wall welcome them all wholeheartedly 

Edit: I should have said those of us Irish, Malaysian, Polish, Latvian and even the dreaded English over this side of the wall on my street that only has ten houses on it welcome them all wholeheartedly.

I don't really follow any of this stuff but is it only recently that this is happening?
The amount of people coming into the country I mean.

Yeah a massive massive increase since the war broke out in Ukraine. Some people think it's grand, some people think it's too much too soon. The latter camp are underrepresented in the dáil and the media, other than to be vilified. I don't know what it's like where you live but here it's been a very obvious shift from Eastern Europeans to Middle Eastern lads who are doing the local foreigning and the loopholes appear to have been created whenever whichever rule was bent to allow the Ukrainian women and children and men over 60 to come here.

Fair fuckin glad I didn't adopt one. We are in some sort of virtue signal hellscape of an island now anyway

I live in Galway and I haven't even met one Ukrainian yet lol
I have noticed there is a good amount of new middle Eastern beggars in the city in the last year or two but I'm nearly certain they were here before the war broke out. They are definitely newish though.
Can't say I notice too much to be honest as I usually go to work and get out of the city as fast as I can and rarely go in at weekends so I'm out in the country most of the time.
I saw someone say in one of the other threads that Galway doesn't seem that safe anymore and I dunno but I was having a few cans with one of my friends in the city recently and got a late bus home and walking through shop street and especially eyre Square had a different buzz to it.
Seemed a lot more hostile but that could just be from not being in the city late that often. Didn't notice any of the trouble makers to be foreign either. Just a lot of knacker scum type around.
I did notice a shitload of the same beggars hanging around the streets as well.
They weren't bothering anyone that I could see but I did notice a lot of them sleeping in doorways and stuff.

A truncation is not an interpretation. It's a distortion. He distorted what she said and thousands of people fell for it.

No just the video, not the account who posted it or their interpretation of it.

It speaks for itself

Lad, the person who truncated the video is the person who decided not to let the video speak for itself. Basic stuff. And even if you don't, he knew exactly what he was doing when he decided to cut the video mid-sentence. You should be as angry at him for playing you for a fool as you are at the government when they do the same. Cos jaysus, if any of them did similar in distorting a video about COVID or christ knows what, you'd be wise to that and hopping mad about it and we all know it. 

RealIrishCONS says: "She wants Ireland to house illegal immigrants instead."
Nothing of the sort said by her, something which is clear just by letting her finish her sentence. Do you not see the manipulation?

Well, at least I can enjoy the fact that CONS is French for fucking idiots (genuinely).

Thanks for that info Butcher. Prefab houses thrown up in a flash, not exactly luxury though, and by the looks of it not going up in areas that are hotbeds for "our own" Irish homeless seeking to live.

Look man, I missed the open goal with your whole schtick about that video earlier so I'm not bothering typing out that particular riposte to your obfuscating tactics now and you can stay purposely missing the point for as long as you like.

I could say worster things but I don't want to get into the anti immigration style proper ganda

Was in Waterford last weekend and the amount of Middle Eastern lads sleeping in doorways was something to behold. The young fella kept begging me to give him money so he could give it to them so I really noticed the sheer amount. The Romanian beggars are still the real masters of the art though, there was one bird and she was rocking back and forth on her knees screaming "please please please please" and making the prayer hands. I've never seen such a performance and a mate of mine is married to a Romanian so I have heard tales of their wily ways

I was up in Dublin one time, I think it was for a Decapited gig, and I arrived in early in the day and went on a saucefest.
I was bananas in some pub and I went outside for a fag (a cigarette, not a homosexual). I went out the front door for it, they had a massive smoking area but we do go out the front door in my local and in my cuntedness I must have thought I was at home.
Next thing I know there's a Roma beggar woman screaming something about food for her baby, into my face.
Me like a thick, in a fit of uncharacteristic charity, gave her 2 Euro I had in me pocket.
Next thing I know there's four of them around me, pawing at me, and screaming into my face about the emenent death their starving children.
I had to fight my way back in the door of the pub to get away from the cunts.
It was an awful ordeal alltogether.

I worked with a bunch of Romanian lads on sites and they went to great lengths to let us know that they are not Romanian gypsies, they are Roma gypsies, of the Roma nation, not Romania. They set up camp in Romania but they aren't Romanian. They disavowed all ownership of them.

Financial assistance to the accommodation efforts in neighbouring countries would have been a far more appropriate way of helping. Ukraine aside the idea of importing people as the primary way to assist in global conflicts is doomed to failure. It has been failing and will continue to do so. Remember when we used to send state aid and voluntary donations to other places?

I see it too, as little consolation as that will be when it all comes to a rather sudden end

That clip is absolutely brilliant. Fantastic I might even say..

Eddie izzard when in girl mode is going to go by the name suzi but doesn't mind if you call him Eddie or he.
Just wondering what sort of stand up career he'll have now. Alot of people I speak to say yeah they found him funny and his work for charity with the marathons is nothing short of incredible but...this boy mode girl mode seems a bit off.

I'll be interested to see how Roddy O'Gorman responds to the Islam boys instead of the soft target Catholics.

Before we get too into it, my own stance is that the whole lot of sex education, straight or not should probably be left to parents (although it's usually the pals who shatter the illusion well before that) until the child leaves primary school. The rest of the stuff can be dealt with when they're a bit more mature and it's mildly feasible that they might actually get a ride somewhere. I've also always found it absurd that the 6th class sex talk back in the day was given by nuns. Edit: I've two 7 year olds and they understand that men can marry men if they want because they asked me. It shouldn't be so contentious at all really.

Anyway that's all I've to say about the argument in itself, I'm just looking forward to the govt response to the Muslim council

Re the sex education. There has to be some type of it in school. Around 12 to 14 should be the age imo. Lots of parents just dont do it. We hadn't a fucking clue in our school back in the day. And with the advent of porn i think you have to have it. As too many kids think that's what sex is.
