    If he had have tried this country he would have had more success considering we are such a soft sponge on asylum,
    You mean we don't have adequate checks to discover if people claiming asylum are really journalists? Is this what people mean when they talk about cracking down on "bogus asylum seekers"?

    I could have done all of that, but it was so much more succint to just call you an idiot, for that is indeed what you are, Mr. Taoiseach.
    Insulting me again. Throwing personal insults around is often the sign of someone with an indefensible point of view, who cannot therefore defend his position with logical arguments. Oh well.

    McDowell is not doing enough. But what he is doing is less liberal than the Opposition crowd like Labour "stop deportations" party or FG - whose TD in Monaghan is calling for the return of Nigerians deported from there.

    By soft sponge I mean soft as a sponge which is what we are. We only jhere about the deportations. What about the 99% who are not deported, in spite of 95% failing their applications.

    Would you mind using logical arguments to justify why you prioritise Irish people over foreginers.

    Because I am an Irish person and I put my country's interests before those of others.

    Nothing will motivate the lazy / apathetic / Americanised / west-British types to embrace their culture and the Irish language.

    That is a statement of your position; it is not an argument in favour.

    Absolutely. We need to destroy the kind of scum who try to sneak in to their own country.
    More checks are needed, I propose an independent commission

    I see. And I assume you have a source for the 99% and 95% figures.

    So, McDowell is too soft for you, and FG are wooly liberals. 'Tis a strange world you inhabit, dude.
