This is the headline news in both the Irish Times and Examiner tomorrow as on Vincent Browne on TV3. I do not know who carried out the poll but the fact that both the Times and Examiner carry it may mean that it may be a result of the government Lisbon conducted poll. I could be wrong but we will see it online in a while.
The Establishment must listen to the result of this and similar polls. We are losing patience with their liberal elitism, divorced of concerns for the working-class and their struggles to find work. And we are increasingly fed up of being told that our concerns reflect a situation of us being less 'educated' than them. This is not about racism, but about preserving Irish identity, Irish jobs, and avoiding the overcrowding in our hospitals and schools. It is not a sentiment against immigrants as people, but against a policy of mass-immigration without effective controls. No controls, no treaty. The time is coming when the people will have to make a choice as to whether they continue to support politicians with whom they utterly disagree on immigration. It may be necessary for FF and FG to bury the hatchet and go into govt together, so that they can implement policies reflecting legitimate public concerns on immigration, freed from the chains of leftwing parties and their associated pressure-groups.
Otherwise, the Irish people need to put their money where their mouth is and establish political-parties that will give the people sensible controls that reconcile the need occasionally for some migrant labour in some high-skilled industries, with the need to protect Irish jobs in a recession. Any notions of social-engineering with a view to assimilating the Irish people into some artificial 'European' identity must be cast aside, because we prefer our own Irish identity and sovereignty.
The question is what can the government do about this desire for a clampdown. Most immigrants are EU citizens. Some symbolic deprotations of Nigerians perhaps?Originally Posted by kerrynorth

more like 80% everybody is talking about immigration now, they are sick of it, i was in my local dole office today siging on , the amount of immigrants that were there was amazing plus lots of irish people, everybody there were complaining about the immigrants even to there faces, one immigrants was even pushed out of the que by a irish fellow, not that doesnt bode well , there is massive anger out there about immigration.
Symbolic deportations of Nigerians?The question is what can the government do about this desire for a clampdown. Most immigrants are EU citizens. Some symbolic deprotations of Nigerians perhaps?
Yes they want it so much they keep electing parties that see foreigners as a useful commodityHow many of this 66% want the EU to keep making the rules on Irish immigration policy ? A lot I would think .
I just dont know about Irish people .They dont know what they want . Do they have a clue at all ?
Something has to be done - its reached madness levels now!
But I am not angry against the Immigrants who came here and worked legally and now find themselves on the Dole but the gob************************es who pushed this for years and could never see the day when it would all turn sour!

A push poll on an emotive issue means nothing.
What if there was poll that said that petrol should be cheaper? Does the government just do whatever headlines tell it to do?
We should be shaping an Ireland based on full respect for the human and civil rights of all our people, an Ireland of which Larkin and Connolly would be very proud.

This is merely the confirmation of what a long series of similar polls have revealed, going back to the Citizenship referendum. It reflects public opinion and was a substantial factor in the recent no vote to Lisbon - though many would not admit this. infamous-el-quapo, maybe if you lived down here you would realise the problems the open-door policy has caused for Irish and immigrant alike.
yes catapla you are right this could explode if unemployment goes to 350,000 and beyound.
