Taoiseach Enda Kenny arriving at government buildings this morning.
…At the meeting, it is understood the Government will insist that thorough background checks are carried out on all migrants seeking accommodation in Ireland.
This is the first time the EU will ask member states to take in refugees from countries where vetting has not already taken place. There is concern up to 15pc of those seeking to live in Ireland may not be genuine refugees.
“In the normal course of events you would be doing security checks, finger printing and so on. You don’t give up all that,” a Government source said.
Mmm.
Compassion

This poor guy is being pushed to his limit and for what? Give them an inch and they’ll take a mile be used they know they have the bullying do gooders on their side.
mmmm…. realism…. we can’t sort out the housing , health and employment for our own citizens , but sure , lets let a load more in.
It’s a case of choosing between two awkward positions. So you would send them back to the war zone?
Six Gulf countries — Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman and Bahrain — have offered zero resettlement places to Syrian refugees.
I’d fix this for starters.
Syrian man on RTE this morning, living in Germany and helping with the influx of refugees, made the same point about many of the refugees claiming to be from Syria were not in fact from Syria, were from Egypt or Turkey instead. It’s not just Enda claiming this.
None of them are in a war zone. What country is Greece fighting or turkey or Hungary.
I wouldn’t fancy being a Kurdish refugee in Turkey. There’s a reason they don’t stay there.
Ignorance is bliss
Why do that when you bring the war zone here.
If they’re not genuine refugees they’re not coming FROM a war zone! At last common sense is, hopefully, prevailing!
Shur I hear Boko Haram are in Wicklow now.
I love ‘A Whiter Shade of Pale’: I must go see them.
they’re not the same since their flute player went to jihad tull.
where they’re plotting to blow up the pro cathedral without a doubt
Nice to see that banner in the back of that pic. Now, what are the yanks doing… taken in <1,600 refugees in the past five years. That is, nada!
No surprise.

No doubt non of them will be near kenny & his cronies houses. Its a Nice little distraction for the coward though from his corruption.
Makes me laugh, We live in a small country deep in debt, now we’re taking in refugees? We have our own people sleeping on the streets & tax payers money being spent foolishly ie Kenny & his cowboys going to adare for a think in? LOL LOL, GET THESE BUNCH OF GANGSTERS OUT ASAP
OMG!!! This country is insane! I could lose my home with my two children anytime now and no one to fix that. But Enda worrying about refugees??? Living in Ireland for 15 years now couldn’t afford to apply for citizenship due to thousand euro charge for that and these people getting citizenship the day they enter Ireland…. for free??? What a joke!
This bunch of clowns that call them selves a government are a JOKE
