Ireland is being plundered by a small group of Irish families, banks and foreign investors. They are making billions for housing migrants through a network of shadowy offshore companies.
This industry is backed up by an NGO complex that employs 200,000 people and also costs us billions. Its purpose is to dumb us down and convince Irish people that being replaced in our own homeland is normal.
The police and judicial system are also onboard. Enforcing illegitimate laws passed by compromised politicians who serve the EU. Foreigners even get special privileges under Irish law.
What’s happening to Ireland is completely unnatural. Dumping people from African and Islamic countries into an ancient and homogeneous society is the quickest way of causing that society to collapse.
Trust is low, cohesion is gone and people from the 3rd world are walking straight into our country without even so much as medical screening. HIV, typhoid and diphtheria are becoming more common in Ireland.
None of us are safe.
Plus the added strain these migrants place on our housing market, education and healthcare systems cannot be ignored.
Those of us older than 20 remember the old Ireland. An Ireland with a relaxed pace of life and high trust communities.
We have a responsibility to maintain that version of Ireland and hand it to the next generation

At a very generic level, it is sad to see. I was there in 2007 and recall there was a stream of Polish immigrants that were starting the make the city feel different. I can only imagine what it's like in certain places now, with certain groups. Wow, does that sound racist? I don't believe so, I think it's acceptable very much possible for countries to retain a cultural identity and pushing for assimilation from those who emigrate over. For example, imagine (I'll pick a random country... Sudan) imagine Sudanese people replacing the look, language, and culture of Japan, or Mexico, or Ireland. The world is a beautiful place because in part, of the patchwork of independent cultures and histories.

Didn't know that O'Keefe was Irish.I think it's a different Michael O'Keefe.
This guy has an account on X, where he just goes on about immigrants the whole time.

He might, but if his entire Twitter feed is dedicated to going on about immigrants, he might just have an agenda.
Immigration is a problem, but it's not the only problem. Ireland has done extremely well out of the EU in other ways.
My point was that this wasn't a comment by anybody you've heard of, it's just some very opinionated guy on Twitter.

In my undergrad years I often went beer drinking on Friday evening with a motley group that included a half dozen or so Irish engineering and chemistry grad students. Most were from Eire but there were a couple very pro Sein Fein blokes from Ulster. The main bond between us all was to drink beer then start singing the usual Irish, Scots and Atlantic Canada pub songs. The infamous Bobby Sands hunger strike happened around that time and it became something of a topic. I recall the Eire fellows telling the IRA sympathizers (Ulster and Canadian) not to romanticize life too much in independent Eire as it was a rather dismal “priest ridden” place where, outside the larger cities, a fellow was forced to buy condoms on the black market. To a person they were hoping to someday work in the UK or immigrate to Canada.
Am not at all sure what this O’Keefe fellow is rhapsodizing about when he refers to old Ireland.

My sister in law is from Dublin. She left in the late 80’s or early, as did a lot of her friends and family, to live in England. It was very common. It doesn’t make sense to go on about this idyllic place of the past when so many have left for a better life elsewhere.

Yeah, it was completely different in 2005 from how it was in the early 90's.
Obviously, your observations based on some rando on Twitter are going to much more on the mark than my family who've actually lived there.
And admit it, you thought the guy you were quoting was the actor, right?

No. TBH, I don't have a clue who Michael O'Keefe is.
But I agree with what the guy wrote.

But of course you would. He wrote it specifically with you in mind.

Just to add a little perspective - despite recent increases, roughly 1% of Ireland is Muslim, which is roughly the same percentage as the number of native-born Irish living in England, and somewhat less than the number of Brits living in Ireland.

It's also worth noting that historically and for good or ill, the British have done more to change the traditional Irish way of life than any Muslim.

OK, he didn't actually come out and say 'non-whites', although clearly the implication was there. I'm not sure that actually makes it any better.
Interestingly enough, somebody is claiming he's not actually Irish, but a Brit. Which if true would be very, very funny.

More common than Badenoch or Sunak, the last two leaders of that most English of institutions, The Conservate Party.

Are you now going to posit that a massive influx of foreigners has been good for England? Both economically and socially?

No, there's currently clearly a problem with immigration. However, it's also not all bad by any means. Britain today is a much more vibrant, colourful and interesting place than it was in the 1950's.
The idea that a completely homogeneous population is better, as this guy seems to be implying, is simply not true. As with most things, moderation is a good idea.
I was only joking
