    You certainly prove the profile of the average racist - low education

    Australia does indeed have a welfare system to be admired, one that doesn't tolerate idleness and dependency.

    Deliberate Govt policies have resulted in past and continuing FDI

    Plus the Welfare 2010 bill means we wont have to support anyone, as those claiming JOBSEEKERS allowance, who refuse a suitable job will not longer receive the Dole. This will happen regardless of their colour or nationality

And if all the immigrants came here to work, why are there so many of them still here claiming Irish taxpayer funded benefits now that they have no work ? ?

    150k natives did not "refuse to work" - They couldn't work in a completely distorted labour market (where they're expected to pay their mortgage and support their family ) being paid the same rates that a single Eastern European living 30 to a house in Blanchardstown and subsisting on cold Swedish dumplings bought in bulk from Lidl could live on.

    Without the ridiculous levels of immigration that occurred being allowed, the labour market would not have been distorted in that way - Neither would the property market, and it is that grotesque distortion of the Irish property market that is the root cause of much of our current problems.

    Absolutely and demonstrably untrue - Are you saying that the so-called asylum seekers and Roma gypsies (to give just two examples) were given no money/housing/support from Irish taxpayer funded public funds until they had been resident in Ireland for two years ? - Grow up ! .

    The bread and butter argument of the average pro immigrationist - racist. Your an arsehole, but you don't see me using that as my first point in every argument. You aren't even a clever pro immigrationist as you have to resort to the racist card straight away, your hardly even worth arguing with, at least some of your fellow travellers can string a few arguments together.

    And as for australia, you mentioned 150 years ago not me. I can guarantee you there was no welfare system in australia 150 years ago, and in case you didn't know they stick undesirables in camps these days. Must try harder !.

    Job announcements? There are about 1,000 to 2,000 jobs out there.
    Training places? People I know who are unemployed are doing colleges courses paid out of their own pocker, because the alternative "training" from the state is a joke.

    Very good, nearly flew under the radar that one. There are indeed job announcements every few days - NEGATIVE announcements like Quinn (900 redundancies), BoSI/Halifax (750 redundancies), Pfizer (785 redundancies) etcetera.

    Do advise the yahoos in Mount Street to stop watching the Yes Prime Minister boxset and up their game

    All the recent job announcements have been welcome. Unfortunately they are all in the 50/120 range and are to be created over a 3 to 5 year time frame with the support of EI.

    Just so you understand the pressure

    238 people every day are losing their jobs.

    Next year 15,000 will lose their jobs.

    This is stabilisation Fianna FAIL way.

    And, something to be borne in mind about these positive job announcements. These figures will be "fluid", perhaps even inflated. I know from experience - working in a MNC start up some years ago, an announcement was made for 65 jobs, yet the most the company ever employed was 14. However, that is rarely the case with redundancy figures - these figures are always a lot more accurate.

    Sympathies with those that lost their jobs today in McElhinneys. Hopefully new work will become available.

    And to the other 200 or so that lost their jobs throughout the country.
