Short answer like? - When the population of Ireland Left it was from a Different time and in those cases what happened? - They were Forced into so called "indentured servitude" at times even in chains, other times sending kids out, Other times for very real reasons because of famine out of Ireland's control and brought on worse because of a neighbor. And when they did, where did they go? either to nations what started out as immigrants or our neighbor and given the close relationship with these two Islands again different.
I have always been uncomfortable with the slogans adapted by the emerging Nationalist parties. They simply don’t represent the problem of mass migration and readily attract accusations of racism and xenophobia. Of course populations in many countries have evolved throughout time as a result of invasion, conquest and migration. Ireland is no different in that regard. Peoples from across the globe have come to Ireland, settled, assimilated, contributed to society and become citizens. The problem the country is currently facing is the accelerated pace, increased volume and nature of migration over the past few years adding to already worsening problems of lack of affordable housing, health services, cost of living pressures and other infrastructure deficits. This is the essence of the problem but moreover the fact the government seems to be not only oblivious to this but thinks its position is virtuous and morally justifiable.

I _thiink_ the point Kieran's trying to make is that non-Irish people have migrated to Ireland for several hundred years (and likewise Irish people have migrated away e.g. to USA, Canada etc) and the island's still OK. The culture and the people are still there, and that the current mood is one of panic. Going further, the current panic - in his opinion - is that the current migrants aren't white, the names are less familiar to us all.

The idea that this level of migration is new when we’ve had multiple large migratory waves, at least this one is not large scale war, famine and disease
@@beaglaoich4418 Again, there has NEVER been a migratory wave as large. It’s reflected in the DNA of the Irish, the Normans the Vikings the English etc. never changed the makeup of the Irish genome to any significant degree.
The heros of establishing Irish independence would be ashamed of the isolationist attitudes in these comments. Read a book people. Ireland was established to be a beacon of hope and welcoming to those in need!
You need to read the books. Plenty of Irish men bled and died for an alot more conservative Ireland than you would be happy with. They would be 1000 times more comfortable in 1950's Ireland and most would have preferred to be using the Irish language primarily as well.
Kieran might have a look at Travellers ...a seperate , cultural group ...it might give him a few pointers ...but then presumably a traveller could be English. Sir Henry Wilson considered himself Irish as does Sir James Galway, If one is born here you are generally considered Irish or take out citizenship...but then I suppose there are Travellers who are British subjects. He also might interrogate the modern descriptions of gender variation in that you can, woke belief would say assume a gender different from what one was called at birth and demand to be treated as such.
Facile argument to reduce national identity to skin colour ie. a question of being "white". Kieran should stop regurgitating the nonsense he is spoon-fed and ask himself why an Ulster loyalist who has lived in Ireland for centuries never wanted to integrate with the majority of the people and still despises Irish identity
@@DBJ345 Irish history proves you wrong: when a minority community don't identify with the majority culture and religious differences mean families don't intermarry, people don't mix and enclaves are created. Add in firebrand clerics in the religious minority who stoke hatred from their pulpits to fuel their own rise to prominence within their religious community eg. Rev. Thomas Drew, Rev. Hugh Hanna, Rev. Ian Paisley, etc. and the result will not be a peaceful harmonious society for anyone
@DBJ345 wouldn't it be nice and simple if leaders of religious minorities that established themselves in Ireland shared your views re. Irish values eg. Rev. Ian Paisley, Rev. Hugh Hanna, Rev. Thomas Drew.. or a new religious 'community' that is no keener on adapting to Irish values than they were

The idea that this level of migration is new when we’ve had multiple large migratory waves, at least this one is not large scale war, famine and disease
Give the mood another 20 years. Wonder what it be like then.
@@beaglaoich4418 Again, there has NEVER been a migratory wave as large. It’s reflected in the DNA of the Irish, the Normans the Vikings the English etc. never changed the makeup of the Irish genome to any significant degree.
The heros of establishing Irish independence would be ashamed of the isolationist attitudes in these comments. Read a book people. Ireland was established to be a beacon of hope and welcoming to those in need!
@briankeenan5769 they're not in need they're grifters...wake up will ya?
@briankeenan Sounds as though you're in need of a wake up call or perhaps in need of shekels and getting paid to write senseless comments on TH-cam.
You need to read the books. Plenty of Irish men bled and died for an alot more conservative Ireland than you would be happy with. They would be 1000 times more comfortable in 1950's Ireland and most would have preferred to be using the Irish language primarily as well.
@@CuchulainAD If you’re born here or if you lived here since you were a child, grew up with our culture, you’re Irish. It’s that simple
@@DBJ345so you don't believe in the Irish constitution or the will of the Irish people?
Kieran might have a look at Travellers ...a seperate , cultural group ...it might give him a few pointers ...but then presumably a traveller could be English. Sir Henry Wilson considered himself Irish as does Sir James Galway, If one is born here you are generally considered Irish or take out citizenship...but then I suppose there are Travellers who are British subjects. He also might interrogate the modern descriptions of gender variation in that you can, woke belief would say assume a gender different from what one was called at birth and demand to be treated as such.
Facile argument to reduce national identity to skin colour ie. a question of being "white". Kieran should stop regurgitating the nonsense he is spoon-fed and ask himself why an Ulster loyalist who has lived in Ireland for centuries never wanted to integrate with the majority of the people and still despises Irish identity
Nah, if you’re born here or if you lived here since you were a child, grew up with our culture, you’re Irish. It’s that simple
@@DBJ345 Irish history proves you wrong: when a minority community don't identify with the majority culture and religious differences mean families don't intermarry, people don't mix and enclaves are created. Add in firebrand clerics in the religious minority who stoke hatred from their pulpits to fuel their own rise to prominence within their religious community eg. Rev. Thomas Drew, Rev. Hugh Hanna, Rev. Ian Paisley, etc. and the result will not be a peaceful harmonious society for anyone
@DBJ345 wouldn't it be nice and simple if leaders of religious minorities that established themselves in Ireland shared your views re. Irish values eg. Rev. Ian Paisley, Rev. Hugh Hanna, Rev. Thomas Drew.. or a new religious 'community' that is no keener on adapting to Irish values than they were
@@DBJ345 that's great, thanks for simplifying the issue for us - you should explain that to the Social Democrats because they are under the illusion that one group of Irish are privileged and another group of Irish are entitled to special minority status that the rest are excluded from
@@sb8163 you’re making up things to get mad about
This "news" station is just ridiculous. If you grew up here or have strong irish heritage even if you're born abroad you're Irish. If you came from Pakistan and the government tell us you're Irish, you're not
To be truly irish. Ya need a second hand A6, a wife called saoirse or sinead, a gym membership and an unplayable mortgage.
So there is no such thing as natives anymore

I, Oliver Cromwell, approves this message
There are TikTok influencers shaking their arses while rollerblading with more followers than this Woke News Channel.
Yep. White and an Irish accent. Although,I think it's more white.
Muslims out
Classic 😂
Burke isn't an Irish name?
Probably not necessary to address that listener's racist and xenophobic views to that extent, but I imagine Kieran Cuddihy was making a wider point to other listeners who hold similarly hostile views.
I am a Mccarthy am I irish to you.
We're too white to be Irish according to the sell-out traitors in the msm. Their treachery is despicable.
