OVER 40% OF all complaints made by Irish people to a European watchdog here last year were made about airlines.
Overall, the European Consumer Centre Ireland (ECCI) handled 3,279 contacts in 2013, a 1.4% drop on 2012.
Of those, 65% were complaints and 41.4% of those complaints were related to air passengers’ rights, while almost one in ten was about rental cars.
This decrease is small when compared with the drop in the number of small claims applications, with the Courts Service reporting a 37% decline in 2013 and the National Consumer Agency pointing to a decrease of 4.2% in the number of consumers contacting their phone line.
20% of cases handled by ECC Ireland in the aviation area related to a delayed flight, while 16% stemmed from the cancellation of a flight. A further 15% arose out of problems with the booking process. Other cases
involved problems with documentation and denied boarding (12%), baggage claims (12%), baggage policies (8%), terms and conditions (6%) and changes of schedule by the airline (2%).
In one case, the consumer was informed upon arrival at the airport that his flight to Malaga was cancelled.
He was unable to avail of the alternative flight offered by the airline and thus booked an alternative flight from Oslo to Malaga. However, the airline charged him for not having a boarding card printed for the new flight. ECC Ireland contacted the airline on behalf of the consumer and secured a refund of €733 for the cancelled flight, as well as reimbursement of the €148 paid in check-in fees.
The consumer was refunded a total of €881.
The ECCI says that this is down to the economic landscape.
Over 30% of cases required intervention by the ECCI directly.
In terms of money recovered, the overall level of refunds obtained for consumers in Ireland and elsewhere arising from ECCI work amounted to €80,998.40, a 28% decrease on the sum obtained in 2012.

I’ve lived in the Middle East for 8 years. Haven’t seen one refugee in Dubai, Bahrain, Saudi, why are they not taking in their Muslim brothers and sisters?
@Michael: because they only care about themselves.
@Michael: You never will, they have sub categories of workers, whites are level one and a Philippine worker etc are level two so get paid less even if doing the same work. I have a close family member who worked in all three countries
Also, once an Irish person has finished working at 68 or whatever age they retire, they can’t stay in the country, even if they worked for 50 years, you must return to your own country this relates specifically to Bahrain.
It’s actually not the number of refugees that come into Ireland will be a problem, these are small numbers and hopefully they are given the right supports so Ireland can become their home and they can contribute to society.
If you look at the amount of visa’s giving to English colleges, this is how most people are coming into Ireland and overstaying. You can work 20 hrs per week and just sign on for more English lessons for as long as you like. A few years ago, a load of colleges were closed down but its back to its previous numbers. Look at any of the FB pages run by Colleges, they can’t cope with numbers of non EU looking for homestays. If you look at the Garda missing website, go past the first page or , and it is full of Chinese or other non Europeans who have not returned home ( In fairness, I don’t blame them ) but we have a network of people supporting illegal workers in Ireland ( Again the Irish did the same ) This is an area that needs contact supervision but who is doing it. If they are working or have families, grant them a new status and take taxes, rather than leaving them illegal and susceptible to abuse, allow them to remain and contribute to society. https://www.garda.ie/en/Missing-Persons
@Michael: It furthers the EU agenda to take refugees.
Creates demand, a liberal electorate and reinforces socialist ideologies.
@Homestayindublin: dublin is overrun with Brazilians who come here supposed to be learning énglish yet are working and never attending classes.. Go up to parnell St and you’ll be convinced you’ve been time travelled to China.. Go into moore St or any shopping centre and it’s full of so called phone shops with Indian Pakistani nationals, who is doing checks on these so called students, it’s a known fact Pakistani and Brazilian nationals are acting as drug couriers on the rickshaws operating in Dublin City Centre yet garda turn blind eye this government couldn’t give a flying f**k because they get fees for these non students visa’s
@Michael: The Saudi’s can do what they want,whenever they want.Europe (and Ireland) ,the US still kiss their ass*s.
@Michael: “I’ve lived in the Middle East for 8 years. Haven’t seen one refugee in Dubai, Bahrain, Saudi, why are they not taking in their Muslim brothers and sisters?”
There’s at least 0.5 million Syrians living in Saudi Arabia, and 2 million to 3 million Syrians living in the Gulf countries.
Saudi Arabia and other gulf states had generous immigration policy for fellow Arabs before the Syrian Civil War. Syrians were guest workers and students, and subsequent the civil war they bought over family who escape the conflict, increasing their numbers. They are not registered as refugees in Saudi Arabia but as “Arab brothers and sisters in distress”.
“There are 2 million to 3 million Syrians in the Gulf countries, many of whom arrived since the war began, but they are not considered refugees and they are not part of the UNHCR statistics. They are classified as “Arab brothers and sisters in distress” instead of refugees covered by UN treaties. Even though, according to UNHCR officials, only in Saudi Arabia, there were 500,000 Syrian refugees in September 2015.”
@Michael: Because look at how it worked out for Lebanon taking in refugees in 1967, they went into a civil war a few years later
Gunnar Heinsohn anticipated this migration wave a decade ago as he looked at MENA demographics and Islam allows polygamy, excess men must be shipped out
Look at bitcoin and gold, they sense the loss of confidence in government authority , the domestic population can be censored and corralled but large countries can stand firm against USA, German, Saudi propaganda
@Vladimir Macro: and drives the centralisation of policy into EU Commission not the EU Parliament
Brussels does not want any border from Ireland to Poland
Use of ‘racist’ or ‘hate speech’ to censor people
Watch ECB and bitcoin/gold if you have time
@Billy McNamara: does that mean it’s OK not to shoulder their share as well!
@Billy McNamara: oil speaks much louder than words
@Homestayindublin: what did the Irish do
@Michael: A very good point. When was the last time you saw Muslims in Ireland organizing fundraising or seeking support for Muslim people anywhere in the world including their own countries . We are becoming a laughing stock as a country, a nation of fools.
@Michael: Is it because they are Sunni Muslim countries and the Sunni and Shia muslims are in a sectarian battle these 1400 years or so???
@Michael: saudis do the military action in yemen they dont do mercy for migrants, the migrants should be looked after, now with the election coming up and the health crisis the housing crisis please dont vote fine geal or fianna fail they are landlords and speculators with no care for the voters or citisens
@Matthew O’Kane: and your problem with landlords is?
Send UN to Syria create a safe zone problem solved . Oh wait simple effective ideas don’t make sense .
@JDB: like the safe zone in the Balkans in the late 90s. That worked out well.
@Alan McArdle: it sure didn’t that is why you learn from failures and do not repeat .
@JDB: are you going to volunteer to stand on the firing line between the warring factions?
@JDB: yes let the UN become another NATO by having it invade a sovereign country without its consent. Because this worked out so well in North Korea in 1950!
@JDB: they’ve been living in refugee camp in Lebanon having fled their own country.
@JDB: cos twould be just that easy. Wonder why no one else thought of it? Ur a genius.
@JDB: “Send UN to Syria create a safe zone problem solved ”
Already done.
Turkey is already monitoring a de-escalation zone (“safe zone”) in Idlib, the last rebel stronghold, it was set up in 2017 as part of the Astana Peace Process. Turkey has 12 military outpost in Idlib monitoring the ceasefire.
Not that this helps much (and neither would the toothless UN). There has been two military campaigns led by the Syrian government and Russia against Idlib in 2019, the most recent and ongoing fighting caused the displacement of 250,000 from south east Idlib in the last few weeks.
https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2017/09/final-de-escalation-zones-agreed-astana-170915102811730.html
@gm_cmanning: No need to be so condescending and patronising. JDB was potentially expressing a valid point!
@Dom Layzell: nope he wasn’t. Feel free to articulate how the UN would set up a safe zone in Syria?
War’s over.
@Chewns: country still in disarray, infrastructure destroyed, lack of food etc.
@Jim Buckley Barrett: sounds a bit like Ireland
@Damien Barton: what part of Ireland are you (not) living in?
@Chewns: No, it’s not over. The last rebel stronghold is currently under attack (population 2 to 3 million) and the fighting has displaced a further 250,000 from the south east of the provenance. Just because it is rarely reported these days, we’re fatigued by the conflict, it does not mean the war is over.
Also, a lot of refugees are reluctant to return as they are on the loosing side, they fear retribution/revenge. Turkey has twice invaded Kurdish areas in Syria, it ethnically cleansed the Kurdish the attacked areas and has attempted to replace the displaced population with Syrian Arabs refugees. Turkey had 3.6 million Syrian refugees, they were only able to place 250,000 Syrian Arab refugees in former Kurdish areas, mostly in Afrin (the north west corner of Syria). Tukey does not want any more refugees.
The Turkish military are also in Syria monitoring the de-escalation zone (“safe zone”) in Idlib, the last rebel stronghold, it was set up in 2017 as part of the Astana Peace Process. Turkey has 12 military outpost in Idlib monitoring the ceasefire. It wants to stop the fighting and prevent any more refugees from entering Turkey. This is not very successful.

Syria war: More than 235,000 people flee rebel-held Idlib region – https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-50927434
PR stunt
Most welcome.
@Waj Kahn: God love them. The conditions where they left must be terrible for them to consider going into that place. It really is despicable. I only hope they get the opportunity to return soon.
@DaMoons:
Ok Please advise have you ever been in Mosney in last 20yrs
@Thomas Ryan: I have, I delivered Christmas shoe boxes last year. I donated this year, but didnt deliver personally.
@DaMoons: Yes the videos I’ve seen of the place are grim enough. But hopefully these families will be happy during their time there.
@ObsidianShine:
Sorry. I know area well. Hard working people in Mosney who try and meet needs of residents. I could think of worst places to be and prob one of the better direct provision centres. Plenty of open spaces.
Apart from Irish winter weather much better than Lebanese refugee camp. Also very pleasant local area that does its bit.
Also people linking immigration with housing crisis that is wrong
This is the correct way to bring people into the country. Families and help them settle into communities.
@Chris Mc: They only ever advertise the families.
The Air Corps base in baldonnel regularly receive flights full of adult muslim males.
Specifically no women and children.
Makes one wonder what’s going on.
@Vladimir Macro: I wonder, can you actually prove that?
@Vladimir Macro: why don’t you explain what’s going on so?
@Chris Mc: Apparently it is 75% men according to UN figures (did not confirm)
Islam allows polygamy so must export out excess men
@ObsidianShine: Yes. Air crew in baldonnel post pictures(private Twitter accounts) of the cabins when they arrive here. All African adult males, no women or children.
@Mark O’Carroll:
Apparently is always a good word to use in a sentence that you make up.
@Vladimir Macro: genuine ones from war torn countries go throu Dublin Airport ,surprised Leo is not up getting photo shoot. Baldonnel base on the other hand ,back door who know,s?
@Vladimir Macro: You need to get a life. Seriously!
@DaMoons: someone asked my opinion. Exactly what has happened in the UK.
@Vladimir Macro: that’s absolute nonsense. Did you make it up yourself or did you find it on the internet?
@Vladimir Macro: Wow, what an incredibly racist comment.
@Vladimir Macro: Manchester. Birmingham. London comes to mind
@DaMoons: you want to open your eyes, and for some reason the above statement may be perceived as toxic????
@John Mulligan: yes its true I’ve lived there….
@Vladimir Macro: that is unquestionably racist. Care to articulate why you wouldn’t want your race “diluted”?
@ObsidianShine: of course he can’t.
@Mark O’Carroll: links? And if they’re valid refugees what’s the problem?
@Mark O’Carroll: and according to the Irish Refugee Council and Asylum in Europe 51.8% of refugee applications to Ireland in 2018 were adult males.
@gm_cmanning: To preserve your own race. To be able to identify with your own people. Like the travellers, like the aboriginals like any tribe that has ever walked the earth. To be proud of your heritage, nation and identity.
@Vladimir Macro: All very infantile aspirations.
@Laz Mahon: Hope they find a new home in Ireland’ – Taoiseach Leo Varadkar welcomes 129 refugees
The latest arrival via special chartered flight into Baldonnel Air Base brings the total number of asylum seekers to 1,022 in addition to 792 programme refugees who have already been granted refugee status.
@Vladimir Macro: So what actually what is your race – take a DNA test you might get a few surprises!
@Grainnewhale: I’m not questioning skin colour. I really don’t care. I’m questioning the preservation of culture heritage and identity. I celebrate my history the same way Leo Varadkar is celebrating his culture in India this new year. India is currently stopping the immigration of Muslims into the country. Is Leo protesting this? No. It protects his identity.
@Vladimir Macro: You really should get out more – might clear your brain a bit
@Vladimir Macro: You are confusing extremism with ordinary religion.
@Vladimir Macro: You are in the wrong country if you support the Ayran theory
@Vladimir Macro: That’s a lie and a bad one at that, one plane has only ever brought in asylum seekers to Baldonnell and that was one from Turkey a few months ago and wasn’t covered up it was all over the Irish aviation pages.
There’s no hundreds of planes going into Baldonnell because they’d be seen on Flight radars (inb4, no they turned off transponders) going in and out. I know people in Baldonnell, I was there a couple of months ago and your talking complete nonsense.
Also to clarify, of those 187 or there about who came in, it was men women and children so again stop lying.
@Laz Mahon: the people who work there and the people who monitor flights on a constant basis, Baldonnell has only ever been used once to bring in Asylum seekers and it was men, women and children.
Stop believing all these conspiracy theories.
@Vladimir Macro: well that’s racist as all hell. Thanks for clearing it up
Yet the Government let our own die on the streets right accross the road from the Dail
@Justin Hanley: cos the two things are directly linked and it’s a zero sum situation.
This is how immigration should be done, and not by letting them pass through 4 or 5 different eu countries before landing in ireland,those should be returned to the firat eu country they land in, full families brought over safely is the way it should be
@Karl Charlie: but how would all the interest groups and the legal mob get paid?
Wonderful news! Wishing them all a much better life here in Ireland. Céad Míle Fáilte!
Welcome
How are you going to fit them all in your house charlie
@Kathleen O Connor: again not how immigration works. Does someone need to draw you a picture?
According to RTE it’s 11 families, 50 people.
Not 50 families.
@gerard carey: because rte is always accurate in its news reports
@Damien Barton: in fairness both RTÉ and thejournal get their information from the same 3 distributers all Western nations do – Associated Press(USA), Reuters(UK) and AFP(France).
@Cormac Ó Braonáin: That’s only for International News.
@Damien Barton: Yes, it was 50 refugees, not 50 families. Here’s the press release:
Minister Flanagan welcomes Syrian refugee families at Mosney:
· 50 Syrian refugees resettled under the IRPP today
@gerard carey: It will be the equivalent of 50 families when they finish bringing in their extended families.
@Gino Brancato: They aren’t entitled to bring extended families under Irish law. So you’re wrong. Refugee resettlement typically tries to bring intact family units to Ireland to allow for the best chance of a successful resettlement. Family reunification requests under the refugee resettlement programs are rare and exceptional. In recent years they have only occurred when Ireland took Syrian asylum seekers from Greece, who subsequently gained refugee status, some of whom were separated from their own families at the time and some of whom were minors. However this is not the resettlement programme described here which ireland undertakes with UNHCR.
Still haven’t been told who exactly is paying for those refugees.
@Kathleen O Connor: we are. You didn’t know that? And once they’re citizens they contribute, on average, far more than they cost
@Kathleen O Connor: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-22683261 Not John McCain…
@gm_cmanning: is that a fact
@Vladimir Macro: yup it is.
https://www.e-ir.info/2016/03/07/refugees-economic-burden-or-opportunity/
@gm_cmanning: Ireland also receives an EU grant of about €10,000 per refugee to help to integrate and resettlement refugees. This is used to support resettlement in local communities.
So the way to solve the humanitarian crisis in former war zones in the ME, is to take their young males, and women and children put them on planes fly them to the other side of the world to an alien culture in the middle of winter where the will be incarcerated and institutionalized and cooped up in former holiday camps and dilapidated hotels in isolated rural Ireland with no services?. Cardinal Sarah says this is 21 century slavery and will be seen as such https://www.lumenfidei.ie/mass-migration-is-a-new-form-of-slavery/
@padr4: ah those church lads. Finger on the pulse of everything. Have never put a foot wrong. Shur if we all just obey them twill work out grand…oh wait
@gm_cmanning: smart ass
@Liam Mernagh: agreed but I’m also not wrong.
@padr4: Planned resettlement is not mass immigration. The people referred to in this article are family groups. Not single males. Try at least to get your facts right before you post nonsense.
Uups….. nice to read all those positive comments! Where are all the usual clowns fearing for jobs and national identity and so on?
@Johannes Baader: all outside on their scramblers
@Johannes Baader: they’re still protesting in Achill and Ballinamore posing as ‘locals’.
@Cormac Ó Braonáin: to be fair, wtf are the gov doing sending refugee’s over to Achill. Complete madness. Galway, Athlone, Castlebar even would have been a better post to bring them.
@Johannes Baader: Right here, look at CSO crime figures, look at the gold price at all time highs in 70 currencies
EU is about corruption and cronyism , this is why Fine Gael & Germans worship it
@Da Vid: Because there are millions of these people Da Vid , they will literally be in every town in Ireland
Look up Gunnar Heinsohn if you got time
@Mark O’Carroll: care to share those CSO figures as opposed to alluding to them? And while there are millions of refugees you do get they’re not all coming here?
@Mark O’Carroll: wtf has gold prices have to do with refugees fleeing war torn conflict and our willingness to show kindness and empathy towards them? Focus your anger on something more positive I’d say.
@Mark O’Carroll: Tinfoil alert!
Welcome #StrongerTogether
Welcome
The very best of luck, hope all works out for them
@Finbar Redmond: T suppose will have them down for dinner asap?
Has experience of other nations taught us nothing.
@Gerard Casserly: Ireland is not Sweden. Sweden took in very large numbers of asylum seekers from a variety of nationalities, not refugees. Ireland is engaged in a small scale highly structured and focussed refugee resettlement programme. Chalk and cheese.
And let the xenophobia in this comments section begin…
@Blockboy Bertie: spot on there budd. Let the racists come and show their true colours and blame the refugees for the incompetence of the current leaders.
@Blockboy Bertie: what is wrong with xenophobia comments when their is no effort to educate people about the Syrian situation and what the government is trying to do and how Syrians are humans and want mostly what we want .
@Waj Kahn: we are one race the human race there is no racism on this planet just hatred and ignorance .
@JDB: plenty of racism and the only way to overcome it is to recognise it for what it is. In regard to the refugee crisis it’s cultural racism.
@JDB: “there”. Consider yourself educated. Now take the rest of the evening off.
@Cormac Ó Braonáin: if you can tell me of another race besides the human race on this planet you will win some awards.
@JDB: https://simple.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_(sociology)
What awards am I winning? PS you really need to tell all the racists they don’t exist. It seems to have skipped everyone else’s minds
@Blockboy Bertie: Various of xenophobia exist, but the generally accepted ones is dislike or fear of foreigners. Have you a problem with any person having the right to be afraid or to dislike ?
@Gino Brancato: The Minister for Immigrant Parties is at it again. It is not enough that the relevant authorities deal with the refugees but this Fine Gael lightweight has to go for the big false stage Irish Cead Mile Failte.. It is a pity he cant’t show the same enthusiasm for the thousands of native Irish people who need homes and who are at their wits end with worry and uncertain futures.
@Blockboy Bertie: Which is worse xenophobia or muslim sectarianism, Syria is mainly a Shia country and all the refugees seem to be Sunni muslim, why is that???
@Waj Kahn: All racists are xenophobes but not all xenophobes are racist.
When this Fine Gael publishes the true stats on the number of foreigners that are living here and the rate they are arriving they will stand some chance of getting a positive response for their initiatives on refugees.
@Gino Brancato: google is your friend
@Gino Brancato: Foreigners living here? The two biggest groups of foreigners living here are U.K. and Polish nationals. Many of course are now proud Irish citizens. There is also a smattering of Spanish and Italians. And some other nationals. Most of whom are now Irish citizens. Damned foreigners.
Islam is not peaceful it’s a civilization take over.
Islamophobia had been “invented by the Muslim Brotherhood in order to stop discussion of a major issue”.
@Laz Mahon: You want to cop yourself on working for the HSE
Wellcome to ireland ..
Fecking he’ll Mosney give them a week and they’ll be running back to Syria. Is there not anything better than that kip.
@Pat O’Brien:
Ok Pat when was last time you There?
Are you from local area?
Do you know local people?
@Pat O’Brien: they’ve been living in a refugee camp in Lebanon. Hopefully they’ll settle quickly, get residency and be able to begin a new, safer chapter in their lives.
@EillieEs: honest questions here where are they going to live? How will they afford rent etc or is that just something everyone else has to worry about. I just don’t see the fairness in pushing other people down the list. The homeless situation around this country is a disgrace. Countless people cannot afford to heat there homes or feed themselves already in this country. So how does this government welcome more people in to join this over crowded system is beyond me. Has common sense disappeared completely. The next recession is going to destroy this country for good
@Nowa Huta: They’ll afford rent when they start working, like the vast majority of people in this country do. The government has a legal obligation under EU Law to take in asylum seekers, which originates with the 1951 Geneva Convention, all the information is at the below link, probably a better place to look rather than asking random people in a Comments section. https://ec.europa.eu/home-affairs/what-we-do/policies/asylum_en
@Nowa Huta: i agree with the sentiment that we should look after our own first…charity begins at home etc etc. However , we are part of the european union and member states are asked to help out with difficult situations. To put it into some context Greece is handling 1 million people – so Ireland agreeing to take 4000 sounds a lot – but really compared to the scale of the problem – is not really. This is would like if back in WW2 if other countries said nope it’s the 1940s and we are broke and poor- we cannot help jews or other refugees to be accommodated from a war torn country….now having said all that – my personal opinion is that it would be better to split the world into 4 bigger regions and the wealthy countries shuold have to solve the refugee problems in their own region – the Middle East has oil and gas revenues and are super wealthy – they should be forced to tackle the problems in that part of the world – China can afford to deal with Asia issues , The EU should deal with Europe etc etc – I do not believe that sending people from say the middle east to Ireland should be required in any sensible long term solution to people displacement from wars ( created and controlled by the wealthy states in the first place )
Now we will have to support the soccor crowd as well.
Hopefully they can set up a mosque so they can practice their religion and beliefs as well as integrate into society.
@Ronan O’ Brien: The chances as I believe them to be are that they are those in the White Helmets and I wouldn’t be surprised if they were? I would think they would be Sunni Muslim rather than Shia Muslim and yet Syria is a mainly Shia muslim country?
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-47243867
@Ronan O’ Brien: How many Muslims do you know who have “integrated into society”
@Gino Brancato: What’s wrong with you – ‘Live and let live’
@Gino Brancato: What’s your definition of integration? Watching a GAA match and talking rubbish about the next parish? Ordering by numbers at the Chinese because you can’t pronounce the names? Only talking and fraternising with people from your own social class, hating the English? Wearing only stuff you get in Penneys? Quad bikes for Christmas?
@Ronan O’ Brien: you could do with a trip to the UK on a lesson on integration.
Islam is not compatible with western ideologies. Period.
@Gino Brancato: Many in fact. Of course it depends on what you think integration is. I suspect your definition might be quite narrow.
@Vladimir Macro: Absolutely bawlderdash – have you been to any of our hospitals lately
@Grainnewhale: youre confusing wages and immigration. Yes pur hospitals are full of immigrants. We train enough doctors and nurses here every year. We just export them to better paying countries and import cheaper labour. Hence your Muslim brothers
@Vladimir Macro: No I’m not Vlad, I’ve worked all over the world – never had a problem with anyone of any faith – only ultra rights like yourself.
@Grainnewhale: the only thing you have added is labelling me racist, far right, and an extremist.
Not once have i labelled you anything.
Nor have you come up with an argument as the why we should forget our indentity history culture and heritage?
@Vladimir Macro: Actually I never mentioned the word ‘Racist’ it was you used that word – I just think that you are deluded and haven’t a clue what culture and heritage actually is. You might be surprised that here in Ireland we are all descended from Bronze Age people who migrated west from the Stepp region during that era – migration has been around a long time. So what’s new!
@Vladimir Macro: You are stoking hatred here by lying about constant flights going into Baldonnell only bringing in Muslim men which is complete bull.
@Marcus Suridius: Regular flights. Adult Muslim males of African descent. If that incites hate then I’m glad because it shows there is something seriously wrong and we should be prioritising women and children.
@Vladimir Macro: Better suck it up Vlad – you can’t do anything about all these so called ‘adult males of African descent’.
fine geal electioneering fine geal fianna fail dont care about the migrants the workers or anyone who isnt a banker landlord or speculator really , the migrants should be looked after im all for that, fine geal is just panicking now with the election coming up and the health crisis the housing crisis please dont vote fine geal or fianna fail they are landlords and speculators with no care for the voters or citisens or migrants
Would Minister Flanagan not be better served going to Dublin Airport and dealing with the tragedy that is Irish emigration. Watch families wave goodbye to there children and grandchildren, grandchildren that will reared in foreign countries that the grandparents will never see because of government policies that are anti – Irish. They stand in the airport and cry and still elect people like Flanagan who goes to butlins to welcome Muslims.Inflated property prices kept inflated by councils (them being the biggest purchasers of property) so people cannot afford a house and the markets cannot adjust to basic wages. Charities that advertise homeless Irish yet house Syrians and foreigners. Imagine a country that exports our own children by providing no chance of a future while embracing , financing and housing Muslims who’s religion and there leaders are sworn to the downfall of western society.Where are you true Men of Ireland. Why do we stand by and allow this to happen, elect politicians who are Oikophobic. We use to call them west brits. Now the brits are looking after there own with brexit, when will we start looking after our own first.
have your say
