The Minister stated:
"A small but well placed minority of commentators have sought to create the impression that Ireland's treatment of asylum seekers is harsh and unfair. They have consistently concealed the real facts from the Irish people. Moreover, they have sought to create the impression that anyone who points out the true situation is engaging in political racism. They hint at international comparisons which do not exist.
They refuse to address the very large abuse of asylum protection in Ireland. They claim to believe that it is wrong to point out what is happening lest it create prejudice against genuine asylum seekers. They are engaging in a form of verbal intimidation of those who would tell the truth."

Our approach to the issue of protection is based on achieving a balance between fairness and firmness - fairness in ensuring that those genuinely in need of protection receive that protection quickly; firmness in dealing rigorously with abuses in our system which tie up resources which could be better utilised elsewhere. Ireland's asylum strategy is based on a number of key principles;
Dealing fairly but efficiently with the large number of unfounded asylum claims which are being received which represent over 90% of the total asylum applications being processed annually
Ensuring that persons who are found, after a fair and efficient determination process, not in need of protection are returned to their countries of origin as quickly as this can be arranged
Ensuring that we have robust systems in place to root out and prevent abuse in our protection system by persons who are really entering the State for purposes other than seeking protection from persecution."

The English like to count all "British" inventions as English, while quite a large chunk of it was from Welsh, Irish (Anglo-Irish, it was illegal for Catholics to be educated for a couple hundred years) and Scottish.

Shakespeare and Dickens, sure, but they alone do not put you atop the pedestal. How many have Hardy or Chaucer actually reached? Being important to English history of literature does not make you important to the world.

Beckett, Wilde and Joyce have had huge reverberations throughout the world.

Hell, the Lebor Gebala Eireann was done entirely through poem and Tolkien took the "creation" myths from Celtic poetry (the world being created by music).

>>57536813
Wellington never made mention of his Irish heritage, and you're wrong.

The fathers of Irish nationalism were Anglo-Irish (Fitzgerald, Parnell, Tone, Emmett Brothers, Shears Brothers) and many of them were the leaders of the United Irishmen Society - a far cry from not considering themselves Irish.

If you're going to be a revisionist, at least be accurate.

>His biographer Lawrence James wrote of him: “Neither he nor his kin ever considered themselves as Irish. . .The Anglo-Irish aristocracy had nothing in common with the indigenous, Gaelic-speaking and Catholic Irish whom they despised and distrusted.”

That's simply wrong and a massive oversimplification. Many, many of the Anglo-Irish considered themselves Irish. The writer is conflating all those loyal to the Crown with being of and including all Anglo-Irish, but there were a great many Anglo-Irish who considered themselves Irish first (hence the United Irishmen where Protestants and Catholics stood together).

>>57538274
>>57538465
We're not a tax haven, our effective tax rate is 12.4% (compared to 7.5% for France, despite their headline rate being, what, 30%?).

Google using inter-company tax structures to pay less tax does not make us a tax haven, it makes them tax averse. What they did here, they could've replicated anywhere else (see the Dutch or the Lux).

We have an enormous Sovereign Wealth Fund (larger than Canada, and only slightly behind France, with a fraction of the economic/population size) - which should be counted as larger since NAMA took on €80bn in assets during the Recession (which isn't counted), which would actually put us at €100bn+ in SWF.

Not only that, we changed our tax laws to focus on patenting (2019 onwards for established MNCs, I believe) and we've still attracted US investment.

If you could stop reading the Economist, that'd be great.

Or you could keep "let me tell you about your own country"-ing, whatever helps you sleep.

So first of all it was about literary influence, then it was about literary merit now it's about what the common man on the street knows?

In that case
Romeo & Juliet, Macbeth, Hamlet, Frankenstein, Pride & Prejudice, Paradise Lost, Harry Potter, Oliver Twist, Charlie and The Chocolate Factory et al.

All of those are far more well known than anything Ireland has produced.

>Again, you have no proof of this aside from a false quote he never made and a simplistic answer from a journalist. If Wellington was not Irish, neither were Englishmen English nor Scotsmen Scottish, for they all called themselves British, which is a ridiculous proposition.

All his biographers say he is not Irish, Wellington's personal opinion on Ireland were incredibly pessimistic. Wellington never considered himself to be Irish, and cared more for his British roots.

No because you're a moron that dismissed Chaucer and Hardy because "they had no far reaching influence"

If you seriously think the common man knew whom Beckett was, then you're delusional.

Chaucer was important to your poems, not ours, nor the rest of the world. What he did in English could have been done in Latin or French, and we did in Irish - our entire history written through poetry.

>Then when I responded with an author was objectively influential you said he didn't count because he was "simplistic"
Because you said he was more influential than -all- our authors combined, which is simply wrong, by any measurement.

>Then it was about what the common man now.
The common man has ever been included in the debate, or do you think me asking "how many have Hardy or Chaucer actually reached?" at the beginning was just completely irrelevant to the rest of the debate?

>If you seriously think the common man knew whom Beckett was, then you're delusional.
And I'm sure Milton's Paradise Lost is as widely known as Dracula...

No, it isn't. I can guarantee you that if you bring Merchant of Venice and Gulliver's Travels onto a street, they'll know the latter more than the first. Shakespeare was undoubtedly one of the greatest, but he is simply not the end-all and be-all of literature, nor does his works outweigh ours.

>it's part of Britain
No it isn't, it never has been nor will it ever be. It is part of the United Kingdom - Great Britain refers exclusively to the Union between Scotland and England.

You do realise I never said Great Britain right? I said Britain, because Northern Irish are British.
