How can this be when there are so very very few jobs available and so many Irish people have lost their jobs in the same time period?

shocking. People from the EU exercising free movement of labour. Terrible. Now if only some of our own would take the plunge and do it....

I blame that Caroline Simon person. She's all in favour of so-called 'free movement of labour' within the EU. I'm never voting for Libertas ever again.

The number of Chinese getting PPS no.s has halved from 115 to 58 - by far the lowest month so far. Will be interesting to see whether that continues. Historically, this nationality has featured strongly in the student-visa system, which was widely abused to get illegal work here. Can I just point out to you again Catalpa that not all of these numbers are arrivals. A fair number are likely to be people born here and issued with PPS nos for that reason. Others are asylum-seekers entitled to welfare.

Another 1,500 Polish nationals arrived here. Didnt they hear, they are all going home now, supposedly.

36,044 more immigrants have arrived here and claimed a PPS number since 1 January 2009.

How many of this 36,044 are from the EU, and so fully entitled to move here, and how many are from countries outside the EU? How many of the 36,044 are British, Aussies or Yanks, for that matter?

Your missing the point - they are still Immigrants and there are not enough jobs for our own People.

Irish Jobs for Irish People.

Ireland for the Irish.

5,138 Brits. 554 Aussies. 338 Canadians. 1033 Americans. 7,324 Poles.

Now, which one do you think needs to be cut?

Perhaps a lot less Irish State welfare for "Irish People" would help stem this influx....

Put an end to this nonsense now and limit immigration.
