Are the Irish right to outraged at the mass evictions of tennants to make room for refugees?

[Drewtate]

Basically the government will pay landlords more than the standard rent so thousands of Irish tenants are being evicted and made homeless to make room for refugees.

Seems like this population replacement is happening all over Europe with Ireland set to take 1 million more foreign immigrants into a population of 5 million by 2030 with living standards and wages rapidly dropping while inflation and house prices rises.

[DryGermanGuy]

The usual misinformation and fearmongering directly from Facebook university.
Quote:
The new evictees aren’t being put out of their homes by immigrants or asylum seekers, but by landlords seeking to raise rents on new tenancies or turn the properties into Airbnbs. There are now 14 times as many properties advertised on Airbnb in Ireland as there are advertised to rent long term.

[Drewtate]

When the government pays more to house refugees in rented accommodation, b&bs and hotels that raises people's rents. Why would a landlords not kick their tenants out to get more guaranteed money from the government. B&Bs and hotels are also housing immigrants for the Irish government

[purplepoppy]

Airbnb is killing rural and coastal areas in the UK. Locals are pushed out by investors and the house sit empty apart from in the summer turning many places into ghost towns. Truth is if people were being evicted for refugees they'd either burn the house down or the locals would give the landlord hell

[handsomelad70]

Figured as much. Dang righty demagogues are EVERYWHERE !!!

[genericname85]

i mean if the population wasn't declining like crazy threattening our social security systems to collapse, we wouldn't need all this migration. tho i guess the idea is not to remove the original population and "replace" it. at least not short term. it's up to them to have children and replace themself. but if they don't, they will be replaced.

[Drewtate]

It's not declining. The population like in a lot of countries is unable to support more than 1 child due to lowering living standards, high house prices, high taxes, inflation and lowering wages. The living standards in wealthy countries like germany and france has been declining in the last 10 years due to mass immigration lowering wages and burdening the state. It means more welfare and cheaper labour.

[genericname85]

how do you know when a states population is declining?

[Drewtate]

When taxes, house prices, cost of living and inflation are so high compared to wages that they can have only 1 child per couple. The Irish population hasn't been this high since the Irish famines yet they intend to bring in 1 million immigrants by 2030 to a population of 5 million, that's 20%.

[genericname85]

ok interesting but here's how we actually know this: if the number of children per woman goes below 2.1. that's how we know a population is declining. and if you look at the total population count and that is not declining while the birth rates are below 2.1, then you know that a population is getting replaced with immigration.

[genericname85]

and you can look at any first world western nation you want. they pretty much all have birth rates around 1.5. so they are all declining. and if their population numbers don't go down that means they're all being replaced with immigrants.

[genericname85]

it's curious how you think that taxes and houses have anything to do with determining the population numbers xD you can maybe use them as indicator for trends but how do you know the number of people living in a country by looking at taxes? :D that's bullshit.

[Drewtate]

Of course taxes and houses affect the birth rate. Couples are going to have less children later if they are both forced to work 50 hour weeks to afford to live.

[genericname85]

birth rates are the metric for population. not taxes. yes there is some correlation but if you wanna know the population of a country, you don't measure the tax. you measure the popuation xD

[Drewtate]

In western countries the birth rate is dictated by the affordability of having kids, that's just a fact.

[genericname85]

Dude. The population is determined by how many kids people have. There is a correlation as I said but if you wanna know the population of a country you look at children per woman not at the amount of tax someone pays. Because birth rates vary I dependent of tax.

[XXblack88]

Yes, they have every right to be outraged citizens of their own country shouldn't be pushed to the side to make way for a bunch of law breaks.

[pinconon]

I think governments should prioritize their own citizens before migrants

[ApplePie409]

Not if you vote for morons.

[JacobJordan]

Doing the same thing in America and only the dumb are okay with it. Any mentally stable person is furious by the fact these governments can come with the funds to pay for illegal aliens but somehow can't come up with the funds to stop the homeless population.

[ForevrLonely29]

Absolutely agree! I always voice anger about the same thing.

[bolverk]

Yes, the Irish people have every right to be outraged that thousands of Irish tenants are being evicted and made homeless to make room for Illegal immigrants/refugees. Because ultimately it is the Irish Tax Payers who are paying the inflated rents that the landlords are charging to to house Illegal immigrants/refugees.

[Drewtate]

Paying twice with higher taxes to pay for the refugees to take their homes.

[NamerOfStars]

Of course- "No Irish Need Apply" has reared its ugly head over here in the US; naturally, the Irish would object, too. However, this time there's no outside power to object about; they voted for it themselves. They're reaping what they've sown.

A note to any Irish people who happen to be reading this: "if it's not brutally, pointlessly tragic, it's just not Irish" is an observation based on study of your history; it's not a command or a mandate.

[bobby_bush_eater]

The Irish should be outraged just by the fact their government brings in all these degenerate illegal scum bags. They're a useless drag on the welfare system and they're ungrateful scum who will never assimilate. No Muslim should ever leave the holy land for the West unless it's in a war.

[ApplePie409]

But they will keep voting in the same morons, just like in the USA.

[bobby_bush_eater]

@ApplePie409 the unfortunate reality...

[SotiCoto]

This is what happens when rich arseholes are simply allowed to buy up all the affordable real-estate and rent it out for absurd prices. It should be illegal. All land-lords should be executed and the homes claimed by the government for resale at fixed prices to those who actually need to live in them.
But instead we have rampant capitalism driving everyone to homelessness and importing foreigners for cheaper labour.

[DarkLegacy]

This is an absolute disgrace, and too right. The woke left really are disgusting, they should not stand for this. I know what id be doing if me or anyone i care about was being evicted but i shall not say here.

I am guessing that no fault evictions are still legal in the Republic of Ireland. They have just been banned here in the UK. This must be happening in private housing and not social housing.

Karma will happen as this will onlyl fuel racism and hate crimes.

[RavVid]

Well entitled to be. Why am I remembering the IRA?

[Drewtate]

Sinn Fein has also sold out. All major Irish parties have been bought.

[RavVid]

I knew the political arm sold out and politicians were proudly boasting they were making Ireland multicultural.

Something similar is happening in my country. Australia has taken about 200,000 immigrants pa. The housing market is geared up for that. But the federal gov't decided to increase the intake to 500,000 without saying so.

As everybody needs housing immediately it is not surprising dramatically increasing intake has created dramatic increases in rent. The gov't has announced it will "slash" immigration to 260,000 which is still a helluva lot more we are geared up for whilst the opposition wants to slash further to wash out the sudden influx.

If you are Irish then you and others need to form a new party and stand at the next election to kick the buggars out. Even just having conversations about how they are fucking up helps. Get out there mate and work it.

[Drewtate]

Ireland has a population of 5 million, by 2030 they will have increased it by 20% non Irish

[RavVid]

You'll be a minority in your own country if you let it go. You need a new party.

[gorydetails]

The Irish have been voting for these globalist politicians, and are now reaping what they sowed.

[Drewtate]

Actually it seems that virtually every Irish party is on board, they've been bought out. Groups like the bilderberg group won't finace you buisnesses, economy and parties.

[Berethor]

Leftists are let Europe to be overrun by muslims, soon there would be no real european left.

[Wise4myage]

Hell yes, and the same thing is happening here in the U. S.

[sage2021]

@Wise4myage
Yes! This is happening in America 🇺🇸 for quite some time now. The illegal aliens took over nice hotels where our military vets were being housed and the got kicked out and homeless on the streets.
I swear, they are nothing but trouble and I think it's going to turn into a civil war. It's the only way to get them put in their place.
Or people might get so fricken sick of them taking over and doing the Americans 🇺🇸 and now the Irish such an unfair injustice that things will eventually people will get so fed up with these beggars that they will start taking matters into their own hands and turn the tables back where they belong.
To have American 🇺🇸 vets homeless and uncared for after fighting for America with many disabled vets and one's that came home with PTSD and can't work anymore. They were willing to risk losing their lives for America. Probably if they knew illegal aliens were going to reap their benefits when they returned from the war, they probably wouldn't have joined the military at all.
I say, send the illegal aliens to Ukraine and let them fight for a change instead of living the good life. They need to earn their way and fighting alongside with Ukraine would give them jobs. See how they enjoy the real world.

[handsomelad70]

If this is so, the Irish SHOULD be angry, but why does this reek of more reactionary propaganda?

[DextroShade]

The Irish people need to string up these politicians and burn them alive.

[ApplePie409]

No, they will vote them in the next time.

[DextroShade]

@ApplePie409 then they get what they deserve. It is essentially a national suicide.

[noohair]

How any government can put aliens ahead of citizens puzzles me. But you get the crap that you vote for.

[ApplePie409]

Exactly. They voted for idiots, and now they don't like the idiots they voted for.

[KrakenAttackin]

These are the same people slaughtering cows to quell climate change 😂😂😂.

[onedarkcloud]

Dam right they do. Greedy landlords throw people out to raise the rent sky high

[exitseven]

They should be enraged. They voted in the government thay have.

[FuqUFggt]

We train the government how to treat us by not killing them over these issues.

[Anonymous]

Nope, I believe it's the Landlords wanting to raise prices on rent.

[BoopBoopBeep]

You make your bed, you lie in it.
