Around the time Taoiseach Martin was clenching his teeth in the Oval Office last month, his party comrade and Minister for Further and Higher Education James Lawless touched down in New Delhi for what could be argued to be an equally consequential trip.
Hoping to attract more of the estimated 45 million Indian college students to Irish institutions, Minister Lawless visited New Delhi, Mumbai, and Chennai with the express aim of ringing the dinner bell on more mass immigration under the guise of “student visas.”
As his own Kildare constituency was hit with more horrendous housing news, Minister Lawless spoke in Chennai of formalising joint ventures between (substandard) Indian degree courses and their Irish equivalents.
Lawless made it clear in comments to the local press that his visa overtures were primarily to keep the wheels turning at the likes of Pfizer and Amazon rather than the domestic Irish industry.
Selling Ireland’s anglophone strengths, the Minister was also keen to dangle the possibility of “stay back” work visas for would-be Indian arrivals with the Republic issuing an eyewatering 12,000 student visas for Indian expats in 2024 alone.
The magnetic attraction of Ireland’s FDI economy, coupled with the overspill from post-Brexit Boriswave influx to the UK, is rapidly reshaping the Greater Dublin Area, with the capital witnessing intense home purchases by high-value Indian workers in the past 5 years.
Dublin is seen as an easy launchpad to both the UK and Europe thanks to the Common Travel Area and EU membership, with the impact on an already ailing housing market already previously coming to public attention.
As Ireland looks West at a tariff-prone America and East to a revanchist Russia it is itself seeing its middle classes being hollowed out by a glut of Indian migration encouraged and abetted by policymakers, universities, and industry alike.
A flexible permit system for non-EEA nationals that fast-tracks residency after a mere two years and stamp 2 student visas are all adding to the pull factor as the Republic shamelessly exports its own Irish youth to Australia and Canada as it continues its addiction to mass migration.
Mimicking the mistakes of larger nations like the UK at the point it appears those mistakes are borderline fatal is an age old tradition in Irish policymaking, with Minister Lawless’ Indian foray fitting perfectly into that tradition.
Progressive Canada was and is the canary in the coalmine for large-scale Indian migration, with even Trudeau publicly accepting the recklessness of the influx long after the horse had bolted.
Ireland is looking for new friends globally as the ties with our American hegemon begin to fray, and the result could just be uncorking Indian migration just that bit further.
The same month that Trump and friends rolled out their tariff regime, it’s worth remembering that some of the real economic and social wreckers for Ireland lie not just on the other side of the Atlantic but right at the Cabinet table.
A friend of mine travelled on a full Jumbo Jet from Abudabi to Dublin last week. She said that there were about 12 Ethnic Irish with the remainder (500?)apparrently Indians…many families with children. This is just One flight,₩on One day, from One airport, in the Middle East!
Dublin 17 ( Clongriffin , Kinsealy , Balgriffin etc ) is increasingly a suburb of sub Saharan Africa & the Indian subcontinent . Modest 2 bed ex council homes fetch # 500 K & rent for 3 K per month . With # 600 asylum seekers / soon to be ” students ” arriving to Dover daily the demographic changing influx here will become turbo charged after Reform take the wheel of UK power in # 2030 .
A recent footballing trip to Liverpool & Manchester showed me a perfect picture of what Dublin will be in just 2 or 3 years – a complete dump . Don’t get me started on the West Midlands / Birmingham area .
Irish Global Visa Bonanza – until replantation of Ethnic Irish is complete…by 2040 deadline.
Yes the Chinese population is not large enough for a traitors govt. thus the switch to Indian.
How many foreign nationals from different countries in Ireland now…200 ? or is it more now.
And why the largest populations from the largest continents and countries…guarenteed
ACCORDING TO THE UN THATS GENOCIDE…moving larger populated areas to smaller.
Eddie Hobbs most recent book covers in detail and research the return to Totalitarianism in
Breaking the Silence…and those of us that are AWAKE are encouraged to promote this free book to the masses…so come all ye Patriots,Burkeans,Gripts,Ditch,Waters and O Doherty
…because as Eddie clearly points out…because of algorithims we’re all in echo chambers …
…and if we re being honest and true to the main goal of saving Ireland, its Culture and Heritage for future Irish Generations…then rousing the woke from hiber-nation is a lot easier to achieve than explosion of screams that is coming our way…while standing idly by.
I habitually look back at history, say 100 years approximately and ask ‘what would the freedom fighter for Irish independence think?’
Would they have fought as fervently, making the ultimate sacrifice for the land of their forefathers? I don’t believe they would (correct me if I’m wrong).
Here in my suburb of East London it resembles an amalgam of Islamabad, Delhi, Somalia; I dread to contemplate Ireland hastening its demise in a similar fashion; but with 12,000 visas handed out to the fecund India you might as well multiply that by 4 in an act of chain-migrations comprising of Indian dependants such as aunties, uncles, children, grandparents.
Replacement accelerated without a murmur.
@ T.Gilligan
No surprises friend that a learned man like yourself reflects on history and the comparison of Ireland 2025 to what Our Patriotic Irish Ancestors belived that the very existance and survival of Ireland and the Irish Race was worth defending and more than justified in fighting for,including the richest of cultural legacy to pass on to future Irish generations.My only added detail is the last 1000yrs of Irish history because of the complexities involving outside forces,including deals between Rome and English Monarchy which highlighted the religious and land wars, and the ultimate discrimination under English Law that an Irishman was
Subhuman,and murdered without penalty,thus the Penal Laws and Genocide not mere famine
THE PERFECT HOLOCAUST.
Our Irish history,despite been written by the victors or paid for traitors could not conceal the facts,because the plight and tenacity of the Irish People was written in global histories and highlighted more atrocities of slavery,servitude,deportation and discrimination,and still our Irish Ancestors fought bravely,in foreign lands,for what is now foreign empires past and present…yes again worth defending and fighting for…a unique race of people for humanity.
ENGLAND,AMERICA,CANADA,AFRICA,ARGENTINA AND AUSTRALIA…all benifited from the backs of Irish Soldiers,Builders and Pioneers,including many others globally…I could say they owe us,not own us,and would they at least be game,man enough to apologise for the pain and suffering inflicted on our Country and People through Centuries of exploytation through various means of interference…political,economic,religious,discrimination,replantation.
Those countries mentioned above have had centuries to grow,to prosper,to increase their
Populations and living standards,before opening to controlled immigration for the benifit to their economies or multiculturism, Ireland has not been given that chance,and although we can point the finger at a rogue traitorous incompetent government,never before in the history of Ireland or its Irish Ancestors ,SELL OT ALL IRISHNESS – TO FOREIGN STAKEHOLDERS.
A UNIQUE TIME IN ALL OF IRISH HISTORY…OUR LAND, OUR HOME, OUR PEOPLE, ALL OURS.
Thankyou for the compliment. I aspire to learnedness as a conscious observer of Irish, British and Global events shapes one to be open and honest about past opinions.
The prejudice that was meted out toward the Irish as if there were a sub-Saharan African is now levelled against its own people; the same attitude prevails amongst the Irish academic, political and business elite towards the Irish working class and indigenous population.
Note all the support for an part of Russia called Ukraine that wants ‘independence’ from Russia. One could make the same argument for ‘Northern’ Ireland wanting freedom from the United Kingdom: doesn’t the mainstream media see the parallels?
Thankyou,
and as I previously mentioned and you pointed out again Independance.Would borders be more defended/protected and not Open if they were being controlled as Independant States,
England,Wales,Scotland,Northern Ireland…become responsible for their independant
borders and not use Ireland as the only scapegoat in manning its border…all for one, 1 4 all
