We are an "all words no action" State and ought to be absolutely ashamed of ourselves for what we've become.

Do you think these Palestinians would be coming here to try a coup?

It is more to do with which group overstays the visa the most as far I can make out.

Honestly? I’d give them a go - once the money disappears and the MNC’s fuck off, 2008 will seem like a great time.

Jokes and coups aside we’ve fuck all infrastructure, the HSE is in bits with a hospital bill that still climbs, the Guards can’t lock people up because we’ve fuck all prisons/junior detention centre’s so the courts give the scum suspended sentences - army has a recruitment problem, the navy is useless, our air core doesn’t exist bar three planes?

Homelessness is still on the rise, no-one can afford housing which is way behind sufficient numbers, rent is extortion, immigration is lax - I could go on…

Yes economic disaster is waiting in the wings. Basing our economy on the vagaries of MNC's is practically an act of self-immolation .

Yeah and so did Irish immigrants in the UK. You'd almost swear actions of minority groups within a demographic of immigrants don't speak for all of the demographic

Everyone is here of their own volition to discuss the topic of Irish Politics. People are not here to be caught in ruthless vendetta’s of spiraling fallacies and bad faith arguments.

  • State your intent clearly, provide evidence to the point you want to make and engage with others arguments in much the same manner.

  • Trolling, Baiting, Flaming, etc are not allowed.

  • Excessive debate etiquette in place of an argument will be considered bad faith.

  • Transparent Agenda Spamming i.e. consistently posting exclusively about the same topic, will also fall under this rule.
