Wonderful country we live in.

[john m]

About 132,000 people from 180 countries have become Irish citizens since the ceremonies were first introduced in 2011.

I bet most of them now live in the UK .

Don;t know about Clondalkin, but Tallaght has very few notable imports except 300 Fillpina Nurses living near the Hospital. Heard that Balbriggan place gets most of them.

I was at a Party A few years ago I was the only Irish person there rest were South Africans none of them are still in Ireland all waited here to get either British or Irish Passports .Same with all the Chinease taxi drivers we had here a few years ago lived here long enough to get Irish Passports then headed to Britain .

[Rat Catcher]

Did Tallaght not elect a black or two to South (West?) Dublin County Council, LL?

Rats, I'm in the business of self-censoring now like a good stalwart of modern Mickey-D-ism....yes is the answer...and I was black-guarding in all earnest about your bootiful seaside town etc etc...did you enjoy the darts?

[Octavia1]

Have they named any of those dead babies found in Tuam yet, as a matter of public interest?

No harm done .... unmarried mothers got a second chance

Good craic alright. To be fair to our African immigrants they don't draw a whole lot of attention to themselves but no doubt they will be running the country within a generation or two, subject to such constraints as necessarily imposed by the faceless bureaucrats in Brussels. SDCC today, Dail Eireann tomorrow...

I'd say that's a given alright....I just wonder how long it'll take for a Mick or Concepta to thwart them when it comes to EPA and An Bord Pleanala obstructionism in the development of their innate cultural belief systems etc? I've a feeling that the Quangos and Lobby Groups might be the favoured target for said ambitious politicos. SF have several hundred members not from these shores.....not a Brit in sight. 2 called to our gaff, prior to the election, when we were away, and little passive-aggressive Monica ran them. Thankfully she's a non-native too....no blowback.

Ther was another owlone in me car last week shitein out of her....." isn't it great that we so open arms an hospitible " she said....."all these poor people escaping war an famine an no homes to go to " she said
  "An they all doctors an nurses an look after us wen we get sick an  highly educated anall lovely hard working people " she said ...
" yea like them roma gypsies pretendin to beg but rob the eye out of yur head cnuts"
" I beg yur pardon " she said
" I tell yu wat " I said .....
" wen I get sick an I'm in hospital an one them big black cnuts comes round the corner an says
" hello mr octavia " " I'm  doctor jumbo jumbo  ungowa umpa lumps goodlook innocent an I'll be performing a rectal examination on ya "
I'll jump out of the bed an clock the cnut right between the eyes and run out the door an fuk meself under a bus

Looked around the owlone was gone ....must got out at the traffic lites or sumtin

The shinner in my constituency is from Crumlin or Drimnagh, I think... still topped the poll... as you said yourself they could run Johnny Adair right now.

[dalymount]

The worst S/F Public rep I ever seen is yer woman Denise Mitchel she is fukin brutal not worth a shite yet she topped the pole

Non-existent in terms of work done for the community. Takes after Larry O'Toole in that respect.

People vote for the gunman's favourite thinking they'll get a virtually free house for themselves and their little surnamed sprogs.

Have to say silver,your right about Larry never got elected to the dail in all the times he ran.this is the one time he decided not to run,and ive no doubt he would have made it this time

I blame Putin.

[Rat Catcher]

Larry would've got elected if he was under the SF banner, DM... but then, so would Johnny Adair. He's not as popular as he likes to think he is in his beloved Darndale. I've had many clients complain of him ignoring the nightly intimidation of locals by gangs of youths and two told me he claimed to know nothing of drug dealing activity outside the school gates... even after the ASU had to be called on one occasion when a youth was being held at gunpoint by another youth. When's the last time you heard of a kneecapping in Coolock? He's akin to a chocolate fireguard these days.
