Questions arise from the squalid scene;

How many of these single men originally come from a country on the Dutch safe country list and why doesn’t the ministry for justice implement the Dutch safe country list.

How many of these single men arrived without documentation? And if they did why are they not in prison for breaking international law.

Is this not proof that the immigration system managed by the departments of Justice and immigration is fundamentally broken.

The ministers responsible should hang their heads in shame and take the honourable step of resigning. In particular Minister O’Gorman who was also responsible for the recent referendum debacle.

Is there no end to this fiasco that is the current government. In particular the Green Party ministers have reached new heights of incompetent.

Now this is the reality that Varadkar the destroyer and his gang of idiots has given us. And this is just the beginning. Please vote carefully next election. It is essential that fine Gael and the rest are obliterated in the next election.

Some “refugees” : Fighting age men , would they really leave their families at home to the mercy of the regime’s they’re supposedly fleeing if it was that bad. Wouldn’t they stop at the first safe place & seek short term shelter until things blow over & they can return home. That’s what true refugees have done for thousands of years.
Can we please start speaking the truth & calling them what they are- Illegal Criminals. Can we please process these people in the same day & deport them there & then as none of them are true refugees. If they have no documentation, put them in jail until their documentation turns up or their embassy provides it & then deport them. I’d happily have my taxpayer contributions used to fund flying these people back to whatever country they got on the plane to come to Ireland in or indeed their home country, let them decide , fine with me once they leave.
We owe these people nothing, they are from a culture that hates us, has no respect for women & where violence, crime & intimidation is the norm, we can clearly see that from the man towards the end of the video. IP applicants trashed a hotel in Dungarvan last week, I watched a video last night where a child attacked a hotel worker at the end of the video. This is just the latest incident in a large string of many. Get these criminals out of here. I pay my taxes to support the working poor, disabled, carer’s & sick & vulnerable people that are going through a bad patch not these criminals that come here knowing they are breaking the law & then want to bleed us dry.

That question has always been in my head yet no one has asked it to Leo or the rest of them if they were family men fleeing from war or percustion in there country and some have wife and kids why come alone leave your fam in danger ??? Why not go to the next safe country with your family and also keep them safe from harm, the fact the gov are still believing there half made up story’s not asking well why leave wife amd kids in that situation are not fit to work in office none of them have a brain cell between the lot of them or boarder patrols are thick as bints either doesn’t care and can’t be arsed to do there job properly by not asking certain trick questions or to bloody thick to ask them in the first place. I’m getting so tired with people abusing the system and turning ireland into a slum not to mention its not that safe anymore for kids or women

its unsustainable that everyone can just arrive at dublin airport and make an asylum claim. Statistics show that people from Georgia and Nigeria are the top nationalities claiming asylum here. These are safe countries and on a Journey to Ireland these people pass through many other safe countries. The system needs to change.

With so many homeless Irish citizens and with so many wanting to buy or rent a home but are struggling to find a place, I would like to ask our politicians how they intend to magically produce accommodation for the tens of thousands they are inviting into Ireland. Perhaps we should demand an accommodation tax on those earning over €100 000 of 20% – ie all our politicians – to pay for accommodation for Ukrainians and asylum seekers? When this money runs out we want a FULL HOUSE notice put up.

Why not put them in the Curragh Army camp. No Nigerians or Algerians should be entertained except in a prison camp for breaking the law until flights to Lagos can be arranged

Go down there at night with thermal scope. Lots of hunting enthusiasts have them. See how many tents are occupied.

This is so maddening the woman that hosts this video is still doing this daily on YouTube to promote people to leave UK and claim here in ireland watch her eyes pop out of her head when she hears about the wealthfare system and the amount https://youtu.be/0zR7HZBhsFA?si=-1Kk5Wt1nQqPl5xc

Also this person telling people to get to ireland fast before they change the visa rules these people should be questioned based on encouraging others to land here and claim everything they can get https://youtu.be/byzgJKSoe5Y?si=3v7YHxOrCbIhDyPS and yet this gov is unfit to do there jobs properly and stop this no wonder we are seen as a soft touch when people are on YouTube telling them they can bring there entire family from the UK amd claim benefits that’s pure abuse from the woman telling the host about it

Would you support a decision by Ireland to copy the UK's "Rwanda Plan", under which asylum seekers are sent to the safe - but third world - African country instead of being allowed to remain here?
