David McWilliams: Ireland is not full but relatively speaking empty. In 1840, there were 2.9m people in the Netherlands and 8m in Ireland. Today there are 17.1m Dutch. Had Ireland expanded at a similar rate there would be 47.1m today via

Ireland (RoI) & Singapore have almost identical populations, 5.1 million versus 5.5 million. But in terms of land mass, Ireland is 100 times larger than Singapore.
Singapore affordably houses 5.5 million people in a space smaller than Louth. Louth!!
Ireland is not full. It’s
My only point is that it is absurd to see Ireland in 2023 as full with a population of just 5 million. Our land area is about 25% of Britain’s but our population is about 8% of Britain’s and British people do not live in 1840s-style hovels. Many in EU have a far higher density.
Just had a Nigerian taxi driver take me to Coolock where I got a coffee served by an Albanian then I went to visit my Afghan doctor and then served in the pharmacy by a Ukrainian. We could not function without diversity.
To those who hounded and tied up a young migrant man in Dundalk, you are vile! He clearly has an intellectual disability. You Irish racists make me sick to my stomach!
To the pieces of shit who hung an "Ireland belongs to the Irish" sign over the flyover on the link in Cork today: Learn your people's history. Ask why there are 75 million Irish people in the world and only 6.6 million in Ireland. Essentially, stop being ignorant racist pricks.
The Irish government:
-reduce meat production in the country and attack working class Irish farmers/rural Ireland
- increase the cost of alcohol to stop alcoholism and improve peoples health (which is a complete lie)
-keep pay down by importing immigrants
Old Ireland where you could buy a house off one income and meet the love of your life at the local dance hall. Thank goodness I’m working 80 hours a week yet have no chance of buying a home so I can own the racists in New progressive Ireland 💪🏿💪🏿
Mass immigration into Ireland and Wales results in foreigners lecturing us on “not” being colonised to justify them being here. They literally hate you and cannot stand the fact we have our own language and ethnicity.

You are aware that Irish have also raped and harassed women?? I won't even get into the church paedophilia. Perverts who behave that way are not defined by nationality, they can be found everywhere, even by people born on this land and before any influx of foreigners.
