“Unfortunately, the ones leaving are quickly replaced by 3rd-worlders (heavily Pakistani) who go directly onto the dole”
I knew the UK had that problem; I thought Ireland had resisted having immigrants shoved down their throats while their own people were looking for work abroad. As I understand it, any “refugees” Ireland is forced to take in by the EU aren’t allowed to work in Ireland.
My cousin, whose house I stayed at, has a Pak neighbor who runs a sundries shop, and who gets a monthly dole based on how many kids he has, and he’s breeding. Cousin tells me it’s very common and driving them broke. Cousin is a retired teacher who just got his pension cut again.
