Jeez, if one was to simply read the posts here, you would never guess this was a story regarding the attempted murder of one of New York's finest. Glad officer Brennan is to make a full recovery.
mass immigration will kill ireland
you really think people will abondon their culture for ours,not a hope ciara,anyways WW3 is around the corner anyways,once sryria is took out iran w=is next bringing russia an china into it,its a disgarce,sorry if i was harsh with ye earlier im not having a good day at all ciara ye,forget about it,sure we will see what happens eh,takecare,an be good
Just for the record, I think all primary schools should be Gael scoileanna. This would help with cultural awareness in the same way that all primary schools in Wales are Welsh speaking.
Being Anti-immigrant is not the same as being pro-Irish. You did make some good points then. I cant remember what they were now but yeah they were actually well thought out but now youre just insulting and have no facts or figures for me. Id like if we left the EU and had control of our finances and borders but we dont and thats how its gonna be for some time but as someone who works in Maternity services and does a bit of work with the irish language and culture, it will only die out if Irish people continue as they are. You only have to look at a massive percentage of irish people who dont speak the Irish language and who are Americanised or Anglocised. THESE arent doing anything remotely culturally Irish. You need irish people to take an interest in Irish culture for the culture to thrive. Most of my Irish friends think Im mental when I tell them Im off to Tory or InisBofin or helping a mate out during filming of An G Team in Connemara or doing an irish language course. These are the people who will cause the death of irish culture no one else! There has been a massive resurgance of the language over the past few years. Some of this is due to irish people going 'Hmm my new mates have their own language and culture so maybe I should learn about mine' and migrants sending their kids to the local Gaelscoil.
i had this debate with you before an you agreed that we made good points,now today you come back with the same rubbish as last time,whats up with that??? its impossible to be pro irish an protector of the future for this country by supporting the mass invasion of the of the country,its really that simple
I didnt make that up! Thats research, actual RESEARCH which was done in Trinity! So you know people who arent Irish but theyre not your friends? Ok, so yet AGAIN you just resort to insults and cannot even give me facts or figures. I now see that you really feel threatened. You wont go lobby politicians and you just keep giving out about migrants on a website. Youre talking about being European here and yet youre giving out about other Europeans coming here! You havent got a leg to stand on! You keep tripping yourself up!
now you are even trying to say that immigrant kids are better at learning than irish kids,you never seem to amase me,an yes i do no peopler that are not irish but i dont boast about it like you do,i wonder why? you sound like david cameron,ive freinds that come from differant countries la di da,who cares you support the destruction of your country an that is the undeyiable truth,you arte anti irish an pro immigrants,you speak up for the rights of the immigrants an not the rights of the irish,you dont care what devastating affects that ireland will suffer because of it,just like every country in europe is suffering the effects,atleast the immigrants back each other,but us patriotic europeans have to argue the obvious with little facist hypocrites like yourself,to be honest you make me sick with your foney love of the countrymwhen anyone reading your comments,its as plain as day your anti irish
Ah here Awoken! You dont like migrants in Ireland and you dont like Irish who have friends who arent irish. Why would I leave? Im from here and my family, friends and my job is here! People only tend to emigrate when they have to which is why people from rich countries dont tend to move abroad but those from poorer countries too! I NEVER voted for any of the current government and I NEVER will so why do you feel the need to bring them into this? Im guessing you have no non Irish friends? Do you even work with any non Irish people?You should blame globalisation for immigration into Ireland and Ireland didnt cause globalisation but it did benefit from it by its citizens being allowed to move and work abroad. You cant even answer my questions regarding what you do to preserve Irish culture. A few pints in the evenings wont cut it! We are in the EU therefore our borders are open. If you have issues with that, and I know a few people myself who do, then you should maybe lobby politicans about your fears which I actually do respect by the way. There is no need for you to start insulting me because you dont like what Im saying. Facts and figures and maybe some examples should suffice?
you are a hypocrite anti irish in the true sence of the word,ye belong in in the same bracket as the corrupted politicans who are destroying our county,why dont ye feck of out of the country,you an your like are a threath to cultures everywere, i love my culture i speak irish i learn immigrants irish,ahhhhhh arnt ye so good,ye fool ye
Heres Kinvaras post.-''A researcher from Trinity contributed to an article that appeared back in January, 2011 discussing how the children of immigrants were better at learning Irish. One of the stated reasons was: 'foreign children were grasping Irish passionately and their families also have pride and love for the language - possibly for the fact it enables their children to participate in the new culture.' It makes since that many such kids would want to emphasis their Irishness. Here is an exert from an article that appeared in Time magazine in 2008: "Gaelscoil Mhíchíl Cíosóg, surpassed the figure this year, with 10% of its admissions made up of children of immigrant parents — Nigerian, Polish, Dutch, Ghanaian and Spanish among them. Initially, says principal Dónal O hAiniféin, the school was not an obvious choice for immigrants, but as their communities put down roots, "They tell me, 'My child is Irish, I'd like him or her to be fluent in the Irish language.'" There is also a group called iMeasc which is a group for immigrants with an interest in Irish. Have you seen the film Yu Ming Is Ainm Dom about a Chinese immigrant?''
Im their driver when they fancy a trip to the Aran Islands or Inisbofin and they use the very basics when we are in the gaeltacht which is more than can be said for my irish mates! I suggerst you read some of the posts from Kinvara on the story of the latest citizenships. He has some very good information which may be of benefit to you. You just seem to see non 'Irish' faces and assume theyre here to ruin the place!
ha! You have just answered my question! Its not illegal as these people are here legally! Mass immigration? 10% of our population is foreign born, thats is not nearly mass immigration. Migrants have brought to Ireland what irish migrants brought to the rest of the world! There is NO difference! I speak my language when I visit the gaeltacht which is at least once a month, I volunteer and partake in cultural events such as Seachtain na gaeilge and cultural events in my nephews school.I have brought my non-Irish friends to the odd ceili in Aras Cronain and CNG. I have introduced them to the irish language, history and culture. A couple of them have even got basic irish vocab books from Gael Linn. They respect it and have a great admiration for it. Again, what have you done?
Name one good thing illegal mass invasion has done for the indiginuc peoples of anywere?????????? name one
what am i doing to preserve my culture?coming from a person who thinks nothing of ireland been illegaly mass invaded by the whole world,but actually condones it pure supports it with rubbish statments,you have no right to ask anyone that question
