  Seanmor, again you insist that Arabs, Indians and Africans are a terrible burden on this country. Have you been to Ireland recently? Because if you have you should have noticed the large number of Indian people working in shops, restaurants and hotels here and the large number of African taxi drivers, for example. How exactly are people like that a burden? As for Arabs, there aren't that many of them living here, so you obviously don't know what you're talking about. It's also interesting that you don't mention the white immigrants living here: Polish, British, Lithuanian, etc, of whom there are many more than the African, Indians and Arabs you go on about all the time. Why is that? Is it that you simply believe that darker skinned people are less desirable than paler ones, irrespective of their other qualities, like character, education, work ethic, etc.?

  The IRISH dont want masses of africans in the country,We live in Ireland an we have our own customs an people,We do not need our culture attacked,Go back home to your own country,You will never be Irish as you are african.Thats just a fact of life

  Irelandnorth I do apologise for the incorrect name. I was not try to admonish you for not using the word "Koori" as I presumed you were not aware.The use of the word "koori" is at the request of the native people. Do you mean that 20% of the population are immigrants and if so the cost of repatriation would certannly be prohibitive and reducing the population by 1 million would have a catastrophic on the economy. Sometimes I find your views are contrdictory(at least as I understand them). Maybe you overplay the devils advocate theme that is present in some of your posts. regards Sean

• IrelandNorth | Feb 27, 2013, 02:32 PM EST

  seanomelb! You're right. I wasn't aware that Australian aboriginals are know as Koori people. Apologies for my anthropological unawareness. But surely referring to indigenous as "ab-originals" (there from the beginning) is hardly a racial slur. That's a problem with political correctness. It's so God-damn hypersensitive to subtle nuances. (PS I'm IrelandNorth not IrishNorth, but I certainly don't doubt you sincerity. I'm certainly not against immigration into Ireland, I'm against the extent of it during recessionary time. I should be pegged to unemployment levels. And repatriating all 20% who are hear would reduce unemployment levels to 5%. Nationality deserves protectionism.

• awoken32 | Feb 27, 2013, 01:04 PM EST

  Warren point for a start the prods in the north pose no threath whatsoever to the future of this countrysure they will be the minority in the north in a short time operiod so you can pull your head out of your backside,At the end of the day mass immigration destroys the native populations of the country it has been forced on,Name one country it has worked in???one country come on??you sit there talking about gas champers while you spew out your hatred for unionists,That is all you have on your mind,You cry about an invasion that is hundreds of years old while we are getting invaded now in this present time,You are a gobshite

• warrenpoint00 | Feb 27, 2013, 11:03 AM EST

  So you beat those people up and wish that you had the availability of a gas chamber,why not tell the minister that makes the rules in your free state to deport them ,it would be much easier that way.Then we can do the same in every other country in the world,deport all foreign nationals, including the Irish,and british unionists, back to their homeland.Wonder what the Irish emigrants would think of this idea after they are all crammed back into a homeland of poverty,despair and not to mention the terrible weather.

• Seanmor | Feb 27, 2013, 08:27 AM EST

  One is reminded of the 1916 Proclamation which mentions "the right of the people of Ireland to the ownership of Ireland". It does NOT say that Arabs, Indians and Africans have a right to own Ireland or that Irish taxpayers should be pertually burdened by these foreigners.

• warrenpoint00 | Feb 26, 2013, 09:15 PM EST

  Awoken me lad, fyi I would rather have 100 black neighbours living beside me than one black foreign british unionist, you know why.Foreign nationals do not shove their national flag down my throat every day of the week or have they done so for the last thousand years.Foreign nationals do not throw piss on our school children.Foreign nationals do not piss on our Irish places of worship.Foreign nationals do not murder us because of our religion, shall I continue or are you still convinced foreign unionist british nationals are no threat to the Irish people,and we are the same people.If you are, you must be living in the free state,Awoken,certainly not in Ireland or even the Aran Islands.Leave the oul black man alone Awoken ,they are absolutely no threat to the Irish people,go beat up one in four of those dangerous british unionist foreigners instead, they are the real threat to our Irish culture

• warrenpoint00 | Feb 26, 2013, 08:47 PM EST

  SEANOMELB COMING BACK ON TWISTING WORDS AN DODGEING THE TRUTH,MARRY WHO YOU WANT MAN,BUT MASS IMMIGRATION WILL BE THE RUIN OF IRELAND IF WE DO NOT START A MASS DEPORTATION PROGRAME,AN DONT START ACTING LIKE YOU CARE ABOUT THE KOORI PEOPLE,YOU MADE IT CLEAR WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT THE MASS INVASIONS ON NATIVE POPULATIONS,YOU SUPPORT IT

• seanomelb | Feb 26, 2013, 05:52 PM EST

  IrishNorth!! I am fully aware of the plight of the 'Koori" people of Australia, to define them as "aborigine" is as insulting as refering to the Irish as Paddy's. I understand you may not be aware of this.Awoken32 is ignorant of what a "native irish person is" In his last post he talks about the natural way!! that is a code word for racism. Irish should marry Irish to preserve the multicultural gene pool that exists. I married an Australian does that make my children some sort of mongrel breed which awoken32 wishes to avoid. His premise is flawed and racist and is no different to hitlers preservation of "the master race". Woundedknee and the other miscreants do not want to believe that less than 10% of the population are migrants. they hear a foreign language and their fear and loathing comes to the fore. Remember the same allegation were levelled against the Irish in America and they are now Americans and the same will happen elsewhere. The global village is shrinking and gene pools are irrelevant.Irish culture will always remain even when our neighbour tried evey dirty trick under the sun to destroy us.

• awoken32 | Feb 26, 2013, 02:58 PM EST

  Barry i think you are the one missing the point my freind,The irish were brought to america at the pleasure of the Royal Family devils we have living nextdoor to our islands,The Irish were brought to the colonies on slave ships,YES WE WERE BROUGHT THEIR AN SOLD AS AN USED AS SLAVES,The truth is is that america an austrailia are both colonies owned by the elites of the world,What happend to the native people of those countries was totally wrong,The natives got eradicated from their own lands,But lets be real here ok,America is full of everyrace now as to is austrailia so the truth is is that people from all over the world came to those countries on mass,Now do you think that because the indians an aboriginee peoples got almost wiped out that the irish should say ok we wipe out our own people now??that is ridiculous but it is what your are suggesting,You see the thing is is that those poor Indians an aboriginal people never had a choice that we have,They would of loving the chance to halt what was happening but sadly the Royal bloodlines only wanted more wealth,I quarentee if you asked an indian what ireland should do he would tell you as would an aboriginal person,TWO WRONGS DONT MAKE IT RIGHT AN IRELAND NEVER WIPED OUT ANY RACE MY PEOPLE HAVE RESPECT

• Barry | Feb 26, 2013, 02:30 PM EST

  awoken32: you mention the Native Americans in the US and how mass immigration didn't work out for them but I think you kind of missed my point. How is it that the Irish (and others of course) went over there and claimed the place for their own and so many people in this part of the world are getting upset about immigration of people here? This is a website for the Irish in America after all so it's a fairly relevant point.

• awoken32 | Feb 26, 2013, 02:06 PM EST

  WOUNDEDKNEE 100% AGGREED,i cant understand people that are so gullible as to put the future generation of their own people in such danger,its unbeleiveable to look in the face of our youth an to stab them in the back,Picture it in 20 to 30 years the NATIVE IRISH in the minority an treated as such because the mask would be well an truly of the immigrant majority population,But imagine that young is warrenpoint or someone else with his views an saying daddy warrenpoint or whatever what did you do when this was all happening?how could you look your kin in the face an say,Well i supported them all the way,i thought w ould have been a racist to say no son,sorry,RACISM IS HATEING SOMEBODY BECAUSE OF THEIR SKIN COLOUR AN RACISM IS IN ALL RACES BLACK AN WHITE AN YELLOW,ITS UNFORTUNATLEY THE WAY THE WORLD IS,BUT YOURT NOT RACIST TO STAND UP AN PRESERVE THE FUTURE OF YOUR OWN BLOODY PEOPLE FORGODSAKE,I dont wanna invade africa or kill africans or asians i have nothing against them whatsoever but the immigrants coming over here now in my country an starting the process of taking over i will not have,Like my FORFATHERS I WILL TAKE UP ARMS AN JION THE TRUE PATRIOTIC CAUSE,we need a new political party in ireland that speaks the truth an represents the people of this country,AN IF THAT IS NOT ALLOWED WE NEED TO WAGE A WAR AN TAKE BACK THE COUNTRY BEFORE OUR PEOPLE WILL BE DILUTED TO THE POINT OF EXTINCTION,JUST LOOK AT THE POPULATION OF THE WORLD,EUROPE NEEDS TO BATON DOWN THE HATCHES AN START THE MASS DEPORTATION,ONCE ONE COUNTRY DOES IT THEY ALL WILL FOLLOW SUIT LIKE DOMINOES,the dog on the street could tell you how the people REALLY feel about being invaded

• IrelandNorth | Feb 26, 2013, 01:58 PM EST

  seanomelb! Try keeping your posts impersonal. You can get your point across without being abusive. It detracts from the credibility of your argument. I understand being an immigrant makes one sensitive to criticism of such. But where have all the Aborigines gone? Reservations? Inward migration wasn't very kind to them. Casualties on the Titanic were exacerbated by lack of lifeboats. How many has LE Hibernia got? Saint Malachy's prophesy about Ireland sinking below the waves towards the end of time may be about floods of emigrants that rising sea levels due to global warming. 20% immigration into a state with 15% unemployment is 35% insanity. Supply and demand dictates that minimum employment by maximum labourers equals lower labour costs. So what class is patriotic to the Irish Isles and what to the Cayman Islands?

• WoundedKnee | Feb 26, 2013, 01:47 PM EST

  Awoken: Warren'pint is posting from the back room of some bar in East Belfast. Or from Antartica--either way he's looking thru a haze. Anyone who thinks the percentage of foreign migrants in ireland is 6% is an ignorant imbecile.

• awoken32 | Feb 26, 2013, 12:34 PM EST

  Warrenpoint i dont know were you get your 6% from ,Do live on the aran islands pr something??6% what a feckn joke the country is flooded by immigrants,Listen whet the Royal Family done with the Prodesdants in the North was wrong an that is a fact,But here the prodestants are no threath to the irish people whatsoever,An in anyway look at the way we have fought with the prodesdents for all of thsi time an we are very simiular people,Wait an see Ireland when she sees the effects of mass immigration thats if we dont get a mass deportation programme up an running,Listen what makes any do-gooder think that Ireland will be differant than anyother country that has had the misery that mass immigration has brought on their countries.no-go areas ghettos division amonghst the people,This article up above is just a taste of whats to come,1 IN 4 AFRICANS GETTING ATTACKED is just another way to demonise the irish people,THE IRISH DONT WANT A COUNTRY WITH AFRICAN AN ASIAN COMMUNITIES ETC ETC JSUT LIKE ASIAN COUNTRIES DONT WANT MASS IMMIGARTION FROM EUROPE,IRELANDFOR THE IRISH OUR PEOPLE OWN THIS LAND AN MASS IMMIGRATION IS THE BIGGEST THREATH TO THE IRISH PEOPLE SINCE THE GENOCIDE PAINTED AS A POTATO FAMINE BY OUR ROYAL DEVIL FAMILY NEXTDOOR

• Eireannach | Feb 26, 2013, 12:21 PM EST

  Fact: there are thousands upon thousand of 'illegals' wandering the streets and lanes of Ireland, and unpalatable as it may be to some - immigrants are responsible for massive levels of crime. Look at the Irish and British prison stats if you can. Immigrants form 10 to 20 percent of people in Ireland but numbers in the justice system are much, much higher. Ireland like the UK doesn't do criminal or health checks at borders - so the consequences are evident everywhere.

• warrenpoint00 | Feb 26, 2013, 12:17 PM EST

  So the british foreigners came to Ireland, actually they were bussed into Ireland, forced emigration you might say ,and then they stole the land from the Irish home owners,desecrate our culture and this is acceptable to quite a few Irish people, yet 6% of other foreign emigrants living in Ireland are not acceptable to the same people.

• awoken32 | Feb 26, 2013, 10:52 AM EST

  Barry mass immigration is destroying europe you just havent got a clue about the realities of ot,As for America you go ask the indians if mass immigration worked over there ok

• anglo-norman | Feb 26, 2013, 08:35 AM EST

  AussieSean is well watered down at this stage

• Barry | Feb 26, 2013, 07:08 AM EST

  It's funny all this talk about the native Irish being displaced by foreigners in Ireland. The UK, the US, Canada and Australia also have native populations which were "displaced" by hordes of immigrants from other countries, including Ireland but I don't hear anyone mention that here. As for multiculturalism not working, who says it doesn't work? The United States is the most powerful country on the planet and also one of the most diverse. Same can be said of countries like the UK, France and Germany. And as for Irish citizenship being awarded too easily, I don't think it's very hard for Irish people to acquire citizenship in the countries they live in either so that's not a very good point.

• awoken32 | Feb 25, 2013, 08:36 PM EST

  You are the real facist seanomelb,An hat is the truth pf the matter,You support the globalist agenda an not the pthe natural way of thigs,You couldt care less about your people an about truth/facts,Its easy to call someone a nazi an a clan or whatever,Its much easier than talking sence an spaeking truths

• awoken32 | Feb 25, 2013, 07:48 PM EST

  seanofmelb name one country that multi-culture has worked??one single country that is has not been a disaster?sure look right accross europe city by city the natives are getting put in the minoroty,these are simple facts,you can bring up hitler an the clan all you want man,im irish i have nothing to do with hitler or the clan its a totally differant subject than one wanting to preserve my peoples an peoples future,you my freind would be in the monority in Ireland with your gullible views of the multi-vult so-called enrichment,That never happens its always the same they get their numbers up an start to take over areas an demand that their ways get fullyy respected,they never intergrate,Like i say to youmNAME ONE COUNTRY WERE THIS HAS HAPPEND?ONE COUNTRY WERE IT HAS WORKED??NAME ONE?

• seanomelb | Feb 25, 2013, 06:55 PM EST

  sleep32 by the time you get your size fourteens out of your bigoted uneducated mouth you might get my point. I am Irish born and willing to concede that invasions of Ireland have waterd down the gene pool. You sound like Adolph,you're a white ignorant purist. As for the widardof oz!! well his non de plume says it all. He lives in a bigoted little worrld. BTW IN and your new found friend Woundedbrain. foriegn workers make up about 5% of the population and they will integrate like the vikings,Normans,Celts and the anglos. Much adfo about fera and lothing by the usual suspects. If you wish to visit an homogeneous multi cultural society visit Australia. Unfortunately we have Fascists like asleep32 and the black wizard here to flauntn their racial superiority Seig Heil!!

• WoundedKnee | Feb 25, 2013, 03:12 PM EST

  You're so right, Ireland North. Immigration is all about numbers. The Mass Immigrationists who post here are probably too ignorant to know this, but Ireland has always had immigration. And, with the exception of the Plantation of Ulster, it has been beneficial and healthy. But what has gone on in the past decade or so is not normal, it's pathological. It even eclipses in numbers the Plantation of Ulster, and after nearly four centuries Ireland is still dealing with the aftermath of that immigration. Ireland's rate of immigration is the highest in the world--someone prove that I am wrong. Obviously places like Kuwait, Brunei etc. have higher rates of foreign-born, but that's not immigration--those foreign workers are on strict contracts and have no hope of ever acquiring citizenship. The opposite is the case in Ireland, where Irish citizenship certificates are handed out like McDonalds Happy Meal coupons.

• IrelandNorth | Feb 25, 2013, 02:52 PM EST

  "To unite Catholic, Protestant and Dissenter in the common name of Irishman!" - Theobald Wolfe-Tone, 18th c Irish Protestant republican/patriot. Eurosceptics United Kingdom Independene Party (UKIP) might even be more popular with the Irish voters in Britain if they were the Great Britain Independence Party (GBIT). Critical mass is considered 10%. Keep immigration at or below that, otherwise nationality is depreciated.

• warrenpoint00 | Feb 25, 2013, 01:48 PM EST

  What a lovely bunch of KLAN members we have posting now,slapping each other on the back and vowing to preserve white christianity,just like Herr Adolph did, before he murdered all in the Polish city of Krakow.These are just a few of the racist,bigoted tired old posters that are already on this site posting their racist venom, they have just changed their names to make it look like , they have support from others.As an Irishman living in Ireland and I can safely say I speak for all decent Irish human beings,WE DO NOT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH ALL THOSE HARD WORKING EMIGRANTS THAT HAVE COME TO OUR COUNTRY.What we do have a problem with is, all those lunatics hoping to take their bigoted racist views from what ever racist hovel they live in ,to our shores.These spawns of Nazism will never succeed, so button down your shirt sleeves and go back into the woods with your few tired old bigots, dress up in your nazi camouflage and stay there.Ireland does not want your type ,you idiots.P.S .do not forget to take your grand wizard wounded knee with you to the woods,he would be horrified if he were to be left behind in the real world.See this is what happens when our soldiers, the IRA , step out,of the limelight, then we have all this nazi,criminal vermin creeping back in to our Irish society.

I love my heritage, both Protestant and Catholic, I love everything that instils in me my birth right, as an Irish man, my diversity as an Irish Protestant is that which defines me as an Irish Protestant it is that difference's which determines my identity as an Irish Protestant and me as an Irish man.

  To the awoken one. I am Irish born, bread and buttered. (A prod from the north). I have now resided elsewhere this past forty-years, tho I visit a number of times per year. I am in full agreement with your statement multicultural assimilation has never worked in any country which has attempted it. The idea and construct, like other misdirection's, is a foreign concept, forced on Europe, Britain and Ireland by those that wish to eliminate the white Christian Europeans and it has work just as the so-called chosen ones knew it would.

  misswhisp! I agree with you entirely. Indeed, the Irish-Australian connection is precisely what would make the Commonwealth palatable for many Irish-Irish. falconflash! The Irish Republican Army (IRA) did not exist 800 yrs ago. Though your point is none the less valid. Sadly, class trumps nationality every time, it seems. When Ireland was compromised by greedy banksters into surrendering economic sovereignty to International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the European Central Bank (ECB), real political power shifted to Washington and Brussels respectively. Elected Irish representatives are politically neutred. One wonders why we there not made redundant, until at least the IMF/ECB/EU troika are paid off - if ever?

Albeit an admittedly more respectable one, which as an Irishman I would have no objection to Ireland being an associate of. seanomelb! You misunderstand me, old chap.

• eiriamach | Feb 23, 2013, 01:48 PM EST

  It seems the racists posting here know, at least unconsciously, that they're trying to resuscitate a dead past. Like Edward Teach, for example, who writes, "Did we build this country for other races that didn't build anything for their people or did we build this country for us and our decedents? Surely your 'decedents' -- those who are 'deceased' or literally 'the dying'-- are not thanking you for your attitude of ethnic superiority, and neither will your descendants. They would all be ashamed of it.

  I find it rather strange that some of the people of Ireland are prejudice toward people of color.It is not too long ago that the people of Ireland were victimized here in the United States, and I am sure elsewhere as well. Blacks ,Irish and dogs were all comparative subjects, could it be that those few Irish people now feel that they have to step on the colored people, to help overcome, this negative portrayal of themselves.If so those poor unfortunate souls and their successive families are doomed forever in a quagmire of hate and extreme failure.

  Did we build this country for other races that didn't build anything for their people or did we build this country for us and our decedents? Why is it so important to flood our country with people that will destroy it? All these people see is a ready made country that's much better than what their forefathers made for them and they want it like a tape worm wants a host. Look at France,USA and other countries that are going down the drain because of this same ignorance. THIS IS MY LAND STOP THIS MADNESS.

  there is NOTHING racial,about expressing concern about the saturation of any race by another or myriad races,for thousands of years that was what wars were fought for,to prevent invasion,now under the laws of the evil empire,the new united states of europe with its uman rights laws,it open border policies and its open door to everyone,its imposition of multi racial multi cultur.ism,the white races of europe are being swamped under a tide of what is laughingly called diversity,challenge it with any sensible,logical, intelectual,reason,and instantly you are targeted and labeled with the deadliest modern career destroying insult(racist).with no work or housing for our own indiginous populations,with our health services,housing,schools,infrastructure creaking under the strain,our children leaving their homelands for foriegn lands we are now again opening our borders to another horde of inpoverished economic refugees,and our useless governments response is to REFUSE to give a projection of expected numbers,and seeing as they gave a projection of 12.000 polish,you can see why.MANY of our political leaders will go on to cushy employment in EU HQ BRUSSELS,which is why they betray their own people,LONDON now has a white minority,thats the way its going,people need to wake up,not all invasions are military,but some are a lot more effective and successfull.will this be labelled racist,only by people who dont mind the demise of their own nations identity.

  Warrenpint--your racism drips off everything you write here. You hate the English, and you hate the Irish, because you want to replace them with 100 other nationalities. Take your bigotry somewhere else--like those British national Front sites you hang about.

• WoundedKnee | Feb 22, 2013, 03:55 AM EST

  "Adolph Hitler despised all foreign immigrants arriving to work in his native Germany". You're an utter ignoramus, Freeman. Adolph (sic) Hitler actually imported large numbers of foreign workers to fuel his economic and military expansion. He SUPPORTED Mass Immigration--and in this was typical of right-wing fanatics such as yourself. But worse than being a dope, Freeman, you're a racist, because you want an ancient ethnicity and nationality, that of Ireland, to be removed from the face of the earth forever. Why? Why does Irish nationality and ethnicity deserve to be wiped out? What's defective about it, what makes it necessary to replace it? Because that is what will happen as young foreign migrants flood into Ireland every day while young Irish men and women are forced out of their homeland by the useless Irish ruling class. And you too are nothing but a useless racist, Freeman.

  It's all about class consciousness at the end of the day, not race or nationality, like some would-be levitating Buddha's on this site would have us think by 're-educating' us until we share their highly subjective socio-economic take on reality. If nationality means anything, then there should be positive discrimination in favour of such. Otherwise, outlaw it. Problem is, seems class trumps nationality everytime. Privileged bureaucrats are very generous in sharing public resources to which they themselves contribute a relative minimum with non-nationals who contributed little or nothing over the heads of those who contributed most - ie workers. When every Irish national is in gainful employment, (togther with returning emigrants or diaspora), then by all means open the flodgates to any and every other nationality. In the meantime, I'll continue to have my sentiments coloured by the young foreign language students who disrespectfully jostle an older citizen every morning in a dangerously ambitious rush to monopolise my local public library facilities I spent all my working life to part finance, and they didn't!

  "There are no young Irish people left in Ireland.The take over proceeds unchecked". Famous words of WoundedKnee reminding the Irish, that he has posted his racist remarks many times and no one is listening to him ,I wonder why.One of these days this looney is going to realize that there are other people sharing this world, and that he is not the only one that enjoys the comfort of his cave.I cannot understand why this Looney earth orbiter continues to patronize those thieving british foreigners of Willie Hamilton,s ilk that inhabit our country, stain our landscape and desecrates our culture, but yet he continuously complains about a few harmless poor old Polish and African emigrants that have great respect and love for Ireland and the Irish culture.

• Freeman | Feb 21, 2013, 09:59 PM EST

  Adolph Hitler despised all foreign immigrants arriving to work in his native Germany, he decided to do something about this problem and we all know the results of his labors. Today in our free world there are many who epitomize Adolph hitler and his crazed ideas, and there are quite a few on this site, but thankfully a small minority in Ireland .These people are dangerous fascists and may I add blatant racists.Those that think that their Irish culture is some how endangered by people of other cultures, are just plain stupid.Racism, evolves from stupidity and lack of education,the people of Ireland need educated on how to deal with the mass movements of multi cultural societies, otherwise they have the potential for creating the next mass murderer of foreign immigrants.For a nation whose people have enjoyed the benefits of the many countries ,in the free world ,why is it that they are bitterly opposed to any foreign nationals, that arrive in their country to live, and to try and make a better life for themselves and their families.

• seanomelb | Feb 21, 2013, 06:35 PM EST

  Cheap labour can only exist if the government allows emploters to flout the law. Using "cheap labour" as an exciuse is racism in it self. "Multiculturism" has become a negative term when all it means is many cultures exist.Second and third generation immigrants become just as Irish as anyone else withthe extra culture of their ancestry.Just as the Irish did when they immigrated to the US, Australia etc. new immigrants will become part of an homogeneous society.Lets face the facts here those woundedbrain types are racists and if they had any integrity they would say "it's because they are black or speak a different language.

• usacelt1 | Feb 21, 2013, 05:56 PM EST

  Racism is evil and a product of the devil. Pure and simple. However, destroying the culture of a nation is evil as well. Globalization is succeeding where Cromwell failed- it is destroying Eire. Refugees need help, and they should receive it. Grant them temporary humanitarian asylum, and train them in a variety of economic, governmental, and sustainable practices, and then send them back to their homelands to revive their nations.

• WoundedKnee | Feb 21, 2013, 04:55 PM EST

  I agree with what you say, Ireland North, except for the final bit. The ones who imposed Mass Immigration on Ireland were not "well intentioned". They were the useless Irish capitalist class and their political minions in Fianna Fail. They got what they wanted--a divided and docile working class. Anyone notice that the workers in places like Spain and Greece are on the streets, but the workers in Ireland are passive and leaderless? Guess which country has massive immigration? I'm a regular visitor on business to Europe, and I know Spain very well. If you walk down the Gran Via, the main avenue in Madrid, you will see mostly Spanish people, and a minority of some foreign migrants. Normal, in other words. If you walk down its equivalent in Dublin, O'Connell Street, you'll see mainly foreign migrants, and a minority of Irish. Pathological, in other words.

• IrelandNorth | Feb 21, 2013, 02:54 PM EST

  Multiculturalism is a santified euphemism for cheap labour. There's no getting away from the fundamental equation that 20% immigration into a state with 15% unemployment is 35% insanity. Xenophiles are such to the extent to which they aren't negatively impacted by immigration. "CALL TIME ON ARMCHAIR THEORETICIANS WITH MINIMAL EMPIRICLE EXPERIENCE!" Well intention though misguided altruists are the ruination of the world.

• WoundedKnee | Feb 21, 2013, 02:11 PM EST

  Remember that this outfit the "Immigrant Council" is actually bankrolled by foreign money, namely Chuck Feeney the blundering billionaire. Why doesn't this busybody put his money into helping stop emigration of young Irish people from their ancient homeland? Why does he hate Irish nationality and ethnicity so much, that he wants to see the unique Irish nation wiped from the face of the earth?

• Silling | Feb 21, 2013, 01:54 PM EST

  Irishmen have small dicks Kris, that is the problem.

• tundish45 | Feb 21, 2013, 12:40 PM EST

  This should not be a surprise. The Irish press abets the profiling by going out if its way to mention foreign origins of bad behaving people. When the person's place of birth has nothing to do with the crime. About two months ago the Irish Times went so far as to mention the foreign origins of the parents of one bad kid, although it went on to admit the kid was born in Ireland. The papers don't say of Irish arrestees things like, "...young Mr. Kelly, born in Limerick but now living in Dublin...." To imply place of birth is relevant to the potential for crime is racisim.

  How many folks we talking about here? Thousands? Then that's a case, but if its less, then probably not. Seems that Ireland may have an immigrant problem of its own. Do as the Germans do and send 'em home if there is a problem.

• harp579 | Feb 21, 2013, 10:45 AM EST

  I have to wonder if this is a part of a larger smear campaign against anyone who is Irish-Catholic or of that heritage. Supposed excessive police stops characterized as an "attack" in the headline but because police are not mentioned in the headline. This infers that the attacks are physical assaults, likely by civilians. Then no support in the article for the incendiary headline which many will read without reading the body of the article. Then the video clip. It sounds like it was professionally produced, like part of a paid public relations campaign.

• Barry | Feb 21, 2013, 10:30 AM EST

  Seanmor, under no circumstances is it aceptable for anyone to be attacked, either verbally or physically, just because of their skin colour or where they are from. You seem to be mplying otherwise. Furthermore, you and others need to stop thinking that all foreign people in Ireland are all asylum seekers and therefore not contributing to Irish society. The number of aslyum seekers here has dropped drastically in recent years and is, to my knowledge, around the 6,000 mark now. Out of a total population of almost 5 million, I think you'll agree this is a small figure. Most immigrants to this country work hard (often for low wages) and deserve to be treated with respect.

• MichaelMcGrath | Feb 21, 2013, 10:26 AM EST

• Seanmor | Feb 21, 2013, 09:25 AM EST

  Could it be that many Irish taxpayers are tired of providing benefits for foreign asylum seekers, including those who do so under false pretences. While growing in Ireland in the '50s, my young sisters often begged money from the neighbors for the African missions, even though many of our own parishiioners were almost as poor as the as the Africans who benefited from those funds.

• antoman | Feb 21, 2013, 08:10 AM EST

  Are we sure its racism? Up until a few years ago it was the English here that would get a slagging at work. You might hear the words "great, the English f**ker is here". It could be the case that through 'conditioning' we are a tad bit disagreeable with foreign people who reside amongst us on account of the time the English occupied Ireland. Shur they burned my city to the ground 80 odd years ago. I'm from Cork like. Now that I think of it.. Tis a common expression in Cork to salute a buddy by saying "how ya boy". Someday, maybe soon, a black lad living here may say to me "how ya boy", I suppose I'll reply "grand boy and yourself?"
