75,000 Irish to emigrate next year as unemployment continues to rise

There IS a new party starting in Ireland, or rather being revived here, The National Movement that was highly popular in Ireland back in the 1970's and in Kilkenny, Waterford, Cork, Wicklow, Carlow, Kildare, Galway, Donegal, all over Dublin too at the time, and this party is being joined with the former Irish NPD and others in a longterm project to establish the Irish People as the rightful owners of Ireland as our homeland once again. We have already held several private meetings, we are taking our time as we reclaim Ireland for the irish people. And when we do the amouhnt of planes leasving Ireland with immigrants on board are going to be so great in numbers that they will blacken out the Sun. Just go to facebook and search for"The National Movement". We are careful , that is the only Internet outlet we will allow for now. To the action comes the reaction ( Newton's Laws) .

This sirpeter must think that Ireland is a great wealthy benevolent country that's there to take in the poorest people on Earth and look after them in welfare money, free housing, health and education etc., he must certainly think the Irish are fools. To be fair to the Irish we were generous for the few years we had money during the Celtic Tiger and helped hundreds of thousands of immigrants better than any other country in the world, but he will appreciate that a stop has been put to our gallop now and we won't be able to do that again. 24 non-EU asylum seekers passed to stay in Ireland last year in 2011, 3,700 stopped entering the country at their point of landing, 300 asylum seekers allowed in for examination of their claims, housed for years now in Butlins holiday camp , allowed 19 Euro a week welfare, the Good Times are all gone, sorry sirpeter but this shows that the Irish people do indeed have a very big say on stopping mass immigration as it had gotten totally out of hand and out of all order and sense and reason.

So, Dan O'Loinsigh, dynamic successful economies like Ireland need 80,000 immigrants on the Dole and as well all claiming rent allowances, child benefits, free medical and hospital care, free schools and universities,almost free local authority housing etc costing the Irish Junk Economy four billions a year. I see... what's your agenda?

Georgie Boy.Read this!!The Japanese are grudgingly acknowledging that their long-cherished sense of ethnic homogeneity may be untenable under the forces of globalization and changing domestic needs,including an aging population and growing labour shortages.Despite the widespread image that Japan, until recently, had hardly been touched by immigration, the country actually experienced sizable inflows of people from abroad.The number of visa overstayers, who comprised the bulk of immigrant workers, grew from 100,000 in 1990 to 300,000 in 1993, and stood at around 207,000 as of January 2005. They have come mostly from other Asian countries, such as Korea, China, the Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia.As the Japanese gradually and grudgingly open their country to foreigners, they have felt the positive and negative impacts of the growing presence of foreign communities.They are beginning to realize they cannot escape the consequences of border-crossing forces of globalization.The Japs can't seem to keep the door shut either Georgie Boy.So you had better place them along side the other governments of fools and gangsters.

Doesn't take long for the Mass Immigrationists to show their racism, does it? OLoinsigh's reference to the need for the Irish to "widen their ‘gene pool’" is offensive racist garbage. Go back to your KKK or British National Front buddies, you Nazi creep OLoingsigh. I don't care what you say about me, as I think you're a fool, but it's pretty scary when you attack a respected journalist like O'Gorman. There's no depths to which the mad Mass Immigrationists won't stoop.

What OLoingsigh says is wrong. The point is not that successful economies attract migrants. The point is that it is a decision for a government as to whether to open the doors to migrants or tightly control access. A prudent government opts for the latter, a government of fools and gangsters chooses the former, as did the Irish government. (By the way OLoingsigh, no one I know supports an end to all Immigration. There has always been immigration into Ireland, though you probably didn't know that). I've been in successful economies such as Japan and South Korea. The number of immigrants in these places is quite small, and they are limited to supplying skills which the locals don't have. Hence someone who teaches English as a Foreign Language can migrate to Japan, but not someone who shines shoes for a living (contrast with Dublin--full of foreigners shining shoes).

It’s a fact that successful economies attract immigrants, like magnets. It’s also a fact that the reason Ireland saw little immigration post-independence was due to the relative failure of successive governments to get the economy right. Ireland was one of the few European economies that continued to export people post-war. Then came the Tiger, and suddenly Ireland became a place people wanted to go to, and not just for the fishing. It was quite a shock to the system, and happened too quickly for some. Dynamic, successful economies need immigrants…and it’s a badge of success when they come. Ireland is still relatively under-populated for its size (larger than the Netherlands with 25% of the population). If Ireland is to build to the ‘critical mass’ of most successful economies, it needs more inward migration, not less. Who could be stupid enough to believe that after generations where we exported our ‘unwanted’, we could pull up some imaginary drawbridge when things improved? Bad news for the ‘ethnic purity brigade’, but from reading some of their posts, I reckon they could do with a little widening of their ‘gene pool’.

donegalcali: with respect, migrants come to Ireland to work. Under the 'habitual residence' rule, they are not even entitled to welfare.

@George Dillon. We have had our tiffs here and im sure there will be more but your 100% right on this.

It has nothing to do with race. There is nothing wrong with being concerned with mass emigration of indigenous people while mass immigration of foreign people. At least they are my own thoughts. I am strongly against welfare immigration> Irish people don't arrive in countries seeking help. Thats the difference. Irish culture is not encouraged. Multiculture has failed in most european countries, or at least the way they have tried it anyway. wake up. There is nothing wrong with questioning.

IC. Any chance of a few bucks for educating the racists.I'll work for an immigrant wage.

Georgie Boy.Don't ever go into gambling you would have lost your Social Security fund.If you want a big word competition I'm game.But Georgie Boy you are not in high school any more.Sophisticated words don't impress me very much.I take those words as part of the English language.That's the basics Georgie Boy.It's the content of your comments Georgie Boy.That gets you the marks here.See Georgie you're not very bright.I know this to be an absolute truth.You equate education with intelligence.Oh! soooo wrong.Maybe in the U.S.A if you have a college degree it's worth something because you need money to get one in the first place.But in Ireland college degrees are a dime a dozen.I should know I employ 30 people but it's no thanks to my college degree.Still I look well holding it in the pic on the wall.See it's relatively cheap to get a degree here.Our government says all must have an opportunity to further their education without having to go to Iraq.Broken32 is not very good at spelling.But I think he would put up a better argument orally.To know ones weakness and admit it is intelligence.Dumb as fu*k on a forum though.But to be honest Georgie and this is a fact you have no writing style.It's flat,unimaginative,repetitive prose.It's crap Georgie.Your writing efforts is like painting by numbers.You can't think outside the box.To be a good racist you have to inspire people.

Broken32.You are going to have to listen.The Irish people are NOT GOING to get a vote on immigration.Free movement of people is the way of the future in the EU.What you are saying is Irish people can move to other countries but nobody can move to Ireland.That makes no sense because we have surplus of educated people who can't be expected to live on welfare until things get better.England at the moment wants 175,000 new immigrants a year to boost the economy.Some people will complain about immigrants but if you take to the streets they will arrest you.Irish culture by way of Music and Games is very strong in Ireland and as TODufaigh has said Riverdance brought Irish culture to the world in a big way.Why? Because it is enjoyable and has something to offer.90% of Americans are descendents of immigrants.Do Americans get a vote.You're talking bullsh*t because it's not going to happen.I live in Ireland and I don't see an immigrant problem.BTW GAA is played in most Irish schools and the kids of the immigrants do play.I have seen them.Why wouldn't they play they are going around with white kids and hurling and football are great games.You are arguing for the impossible and that makes you a bit of a fool.It's the Irish/English/American ect people who are employing them not the government.Try and get yourself elected and see how far you get.The people might complain but at the end of the day.They say live and let live.You see Broken32 it's you're in the minority otherwise alot more anti-immigration politicians would be in government.Now that's reality.

everyone can read your answer an make their own minds up,its useless having this conversation with you,we will see what happens i suppose

TODufaigh do you in live in ireland? there is no mass immigration into ireland? are you mental,ireland has been flooded in the past ten years,we have to build new schools all over the shop to deal with this problem,are you not blind can you not look around you? and as for been on the left,the lefties are the ones that have ruined ireland fianna fail fianna gael are all lefties
