Could not agree more. Billionaires shouolld not exist. Bigh tech has no morals. When will govts wake up to this? Why are we continuing to court these lunatics and let them destroy the planet all for their own personal gain?

It's such a blatant attempt to blame migrants for their failures. But then crying wolf when we have a rise in hate crimes and racism. I am so bloody tired.

Opinion: Pregnant women in Ireland deserve options and respect. Too often we have neither Lack of meaningful choice is the reality many pregnant women are facing, writes Adriana Casserly.

"I am halfway through my pregnancy with my second child and I have only one viable option for my birth care: to return to an understaffed and under-resourced maternity unit, which has some of the highest intervention rates of the country, where I experienced birth trauma."

Who will offer early-stage legal help to people seeking asylum in future, speedier process? It might not be lawyers The new EU Migration and Asylum Pact allows for “legal counselling”. Those who give it won’t have to be “qualified lawyers”, says the Department of Justice.

And all the irish citizens abroad, what if they all decide to come back to Ireland? I am so drained from this anti-migrant BS, it's so blatantly racist and doesn't help solve any crises or societal issues. I will now not be able to bring my dad here if I need to, how does that fix housing????

The chatbot is almost always wrong. I have advised people to take screenshots and submit with applications. Using AI instead of training staff..... the mind boggles....

Don't have the energy to type this all out. So please read every image. Sick of this "fair and firm" immigration talk. Fair and firm for who?

I'm sure creating more obstacles for naturalisation and family reunification will definitely help with integration 🙄🙄🙄 and won't play into the hands of the far right at all 🙄🙄🙄

While we are at it as well, refugees already face longer processing times for naturalisation, for no reason at all except racism.... and absurd extra requirements like providing an affidavit as to why they don't have a national passport.....which the DOJ holds when they receive refugee status....

This is horrible. Family reunification is already strict, whether you're a refugee or a non-eea national. Even Irish citizens waiting to be reunited w/ spouses or parents face absurd wait times & intrusive visa applications. Commitments to family? Article 41 of the constittuion anyone...

I am beyond disgusted at the rhetoric the last few weeks. Cruel and inhumane whilst they do nothing to actually improve eother the asylum system or the immigration systems. If I here one more horrible story of those damn portals, wait times, rude and racist staff....the list goes on.

It's almost like funnelling all first time appointments to Dublin has created a backlog....who could have foreseen this 🫠

This is so incredibly important. In November 2024 I had a misscarriage at almost 12 weeks. I have a very understanding employer but many do not. A woman and her partner will be going through physical, emotional, and mental agony. We need statutory time off to heal.
