    apparently there is to be a mass deportation of Nigerians later in the day 'at dead of night' and some of them have been here '6 years' and have 'no family in Nigeria'

    Doesn't say if Pamela and family are among the contingent to be packed off in the darkness
    Rosanna to be deported instead.

    In fact if they take her then PamI can stay.

    Does anyone know anything about this woman Flynn?

    Obviously here name is Irish, but her accent is of the English mid-upper class. Where did she appear from? Is she a Labour party member, as someone told me?

    Wealthier people always did opt out of local public schools. This is nothing different. When I was in UCD I was one of the few people I knew who hadn't attended private schools. That was in the 80's. I'm told little has changed in that direction. Certainly the children of those people still go to private schools.

    While most of you won't believe it I and the parents of our local school set it up precisely so that our children would have a chance to be part of a multi-cultural, multi-faith school and six years on it couldn't be better. By the way- those Nigerian children you guys love to dump on - pose no difficulties educationally. They speak english after-all and they sure do add vitality to school plays and choirs!

    maybe you should ask a teacher?

    "Behaviour is not a feature across all cultures- more a problem in the African cultures,
    particularly Nigerian’, reported one senior class teacher."

    "Teachers referred to some children exhibiting hugely disrespectful behaviour towards female
    members of staff. This comment from a fifth class teacher is indicative of how teachers
    related these sentiments: ‘…a general lack of respect of Nigerian and African boys towards
    teachers- especially older children with female teachers.’

    also form the same report, it says that Nigerians are the largest group in need of English language support:

    Page 52

    "The higest representation is Nigerian nationals, who account for 574 of the 2084, or 28% of the total. Romanians are the second largest group, with 280 or 13%. A breakdown of these figures is shown as Appendix H."

    It is an absolute joke that anyone would cite this excellent report to back up bias. It demonstrates the paucity of the arguments that abound on this thread.

    It is very true, a good post. I remember being out leafleting for a left wing party, with a fellow who would be prominent in an anti racism organisation in Dublin, we were leafleting in a flat complex, it needed to be done up, to be honest it needed to be bulldozed, and I said so, and he replied with no hint of irony, that if they were all put in to houses that it would affect the party's support. It never occurred to him, that it might be good for those people. He could talk about Bukharin and Anarchism for a week, but he couldn't even grasp that the people who lived there, were more than an idealogical experiment, or to be viewed as a launching pad for a proletariat society, they were real people.

    My capacity to understand it is not blurred by any desire to acquire justifiaction for any racist feelings that may be lurking in the background. If the authors of this report had known that it would be bandied about on this thread, they would have tossed it into the fire.
