Very likely the huge numbers of Italians, French and Spaniards moving to Dublin. Also Eastern Europeans. All legal migration and to be welcomed as many bring needed skills and money to invest. So whats your point?

You are right there Fred
58,000 people are coming here with high skills no Irish person has and with money to invest

None of them are unskilled who will compete for minimum wage jobs and social housing
Have to trust the government on this they know what they are doing

A huge number are coming with a lot of money. Many Italians are coming here and buying their house with cash.

Why would anyone want to move to here? That makes absolutely no sense.

It does to me. I love Ireland.

Yes. People from the poorer counties in the world would love to live here. Dare I say, some of our scroungers don’t deserve to live here. So if Ireland is on the top 20 for countries to live in, it’s a long way down from 21 to Syria.

Sam Hunt…eh no!

Pakistan and India share Commonwealth relations with the UK and this will remain despite Brexit and therefore they will still gain entry to the UK under the same procedures that exist now.

Its a Trap! Turn back before its too late…….arrgh

Etherman I too love Ireland but the cost of living and taxes are far too high there to live in a decent manner.

Rodrigo, if you’re that unhappy here maybe you should consider leaving

@Tony “Claims by Pakistani nationals have increased eightfold so far this year, while claims from Bangladeshis are up almost fourfold. People from the two nations now account for 54 per cent of all asylum claims being made in the Republic, compared with just 19 per cent of claims last year. According to the Department of Justice, applications from those nations are increasing much faster than from other countries because the Irish system is being used by young men on student visas in the UK to prolong their stays in Europe. A department review found that most of those from Pakistan and Bangladesh claiming asylum here had travelled from England toScotland and then taken a car ferry to Northern Ireland. They then travel to the Republic and lodge their asylum claims. Genuine claims The Irish Refugee Council said that while some of those claiming asylum from both countries were probably “chancing their arm”, others were genuine. Chief executive Sue Conlon said the council’s research found that many of the men were coming to Ireland after misinformation had spread within their own communities in the UK. “They seem to think by living in two EU states, rather than one, this increases their chances [of securing asylum], and of course that has no impact at all,” she said. Meanwhile, the Government has insisted the State agencies responsible for deportations are working to ensure as many as possible are carried out despite ongoing complications around detaining failed asylum seekers ahead of being deported. A High Court judgement, known as the “Omar judgement”, two years ago found that gardaí did not have the right to enter private dwellings to arrest those for whom deportation orders had been signed. ADVERTISEMENT It has emerged that both the number of deportations being effected and the number being signed by the Minister for Justice have fallen significantly. This is despite the number of claims for asylum increasing over the past two years following sharp declines for more than a decade. Falling numbers In 2012, for example, some 302 deportation were effected. In 2013, when the Omar judgement was handed down, that number had fallen to 209. And last year, the first full year that gardaí could not enter private dwellings to detain people for deportation, forced removals from the State plummeted by 45 per cent to 114 cases. The number of deportation orders being signed last year also fell, by 57 per cent to 739. However, while deportations and deportation orders declined sharply in 2014, the number of asylum claims increased by 53 per cent to 1,448 cases.”…. http://www.irishtimes.com/news/social-affairs/asylum-claims-in-ireland-up-while-deportations-fall-1.2422093

our government and courts are doing nothing to protect Ireland from invasion . it is he policy of Merkel and Peter Sutherlandland and the Bilderbergers to mix up and dilute all races as per the Kalergi Coudenhove plan. divide and conquer. a strong sense of national confidence and national pride and unity is much harder for the powers to be to control therefore they are clouding to cause this refugee crisis and migration crisis all over the world

Why did you rodrigo?with a name like that you can’t be Irish. Are you and what’s wrong with this country? It’s the best country in the world. People here are real and care.

What’s wrong? Paedophile clergy, corrupt politicians, criminal bankers, inept healthcare etc. Where have you been Gerry?

Irish, Pakistani and Bangladeshi, Africa, and most place the UK were in always given nearly gave some kind of visa. If our government made more jobs, we probably see more Europeans if any thing.

Rodrigo every second comment you make seems to be putting down this country. You’re clearly not happy here, any chance you could get lost so we can replace you with a returning Irish or an ambitious and smart EU national?

Well why don’t you get on the next plane dotrice. No one is holding you here and people like you with opinion are not wanted here,so go away!

You type for the nation as well, Gerry?

You too Doctirce. You seem to be in love with Greater London. Please go there and stay there.

Why Fred – I like it here? But I’m grateful, like many Irish over generations, for a job in England – when there was none here. I hope that’s OK.

Where in my post does it state I’m unhappy?

I am very happy here Fred. I’m running a very successful business which employs mostly good Irish people!! I can’t help how I feel about the way the country is run though. I wouldn’t advise anyone to move here. I have achieved what I have in spite of constant obstacles put in place by stupid rules and downright corrupt practice. I get so frustrated watching the same old politicians making the same old decisions. I’m sure there are thousands of other people who feel the same. Disagree with me by all means, but please don’t belittle me with the usual ” Get back to where you come from” rubbish. It doesn’t become someone with your obvious intelligence.

Rodrigo,we’ll done being successful.But I am sick to my back teeth of foreign nationals constantly complaining and criticising my country.spain is a basket case.america you can be shot dead for breaking a red light.and Nigeria, and most other countries are very corrupt. If I hurt your feelings I apologise but please stop slagging Ireland off.its a good place to live.ok

Gerry. Don’t ever apologise for voicing your opinion. Just think how much better Ireland would be if we had proper politicians who really tried to to the job they are elected to do. Instead we tolerate the same self serving,corrupt people over and over again. This is the point I try to make all the time.

Very worrying trend. Not the kind of immigrants we want in Ireland !

Wait till they c their wage packs.give them a year and then they will be gone again

Well go and fu*k off to London you Nympton

Dotrice , after 30% of Londons financial industry moves to Dublin after Brexit we’ll see what you say then…

Don’t hold your breath, Fred…☺

Fred, you are soooo funny. Or delusional. Not really sure which.

“Our brightest and best were forced to leave.” Is that why we’re left with the likes of you?

Irish people….how many!?☺
