The Shame Of The LE Niamh.

The simple reason is Libya have said they will shoot down any boats that enter their waters without permission, think they sunk a Turkish boat a few months ago.

its all horse5hite PR from the sham politicians that inhabit this country.  It means the left win tree hugging liberals of Ireland can backslap each other as a progressive nation.......The "Armies" () "Peace Keeping" duties in Lebanon is another example.....minute ISIS appeared to be getting to close a few months back, there was talk of pulling them out.....all for show and the marketing benefit of those in power.

Look for permission,I notice they aren't shooting down any of those boats crammed with migrants.

Surely cutting out the middle man is the way forward.

Dumping them on Italy isint fair either,ask them where they want to go and then head for Dover.

I wonder has M O'L considered setting up a base out there, for e2000 a man I'm sure he'd take their bags for free, and drop them within 100km of their final destination

100 kilometres from their final destination would be Rosslare,I'd be against that.

Far better to drop them in Calais,that's only 20 miles from their destination.

Seems as if all is lost, they are getting in. Anti Racism Network has welcomed that yer man found wandering the road in Naas has been now put in the "asylum process", should he not still be in prison as he entered the country illegally? now he is being subsidised by the taxpayer,are we for real?

Simon Coveney spends the day lauding the Le Niamh, if Le Niamh didn't launch the two survey boats that caused the migrant ship to capsize how many less bodies would there be? Not Le Niamhs fault except inadvertently but not really worthy of praise either.

No one sees the damage the LE Niamh is doing.
The traffickers know the LE Niamh is at their beck and call so they are now using boats that aren't seaworthy.

The pension laden Peter Sutherland is on demanding we take in more of these unfortunates,the logical position for the back slapping brigade is to send the LE Niamh into port,cut out the traffickers thus ruling out the dangers and take them straight to Ireland.

Portlaoise seems a good place to house them,very tolerant people there and sure we can borrow the money to fund this sponsorship.

Rte headline, "Le Niamh arrives in Italy with 367 rescued immigrants"
BBC, "The boat capsized when those on board spotted an Irish naval vessel and rushed to one side".

Coveney " The rescue operation is a testament to the Irish naval services"
Coveney on Morning Ireland, " Le Niamh was first on the scene and the crew had saved 367 people".
A lot being left out.

Top EU officials Herman Van Rompuy and Jose Manuel Barroso have unequivocally welcomed reports that former Libyan leader Colonel Gaddafi is dead.
Often criticised for reacting late to world events and mired in the gloom of the euro crisis, the two men in a joint statement published amid breaking news of the killing said: "The reported death of Muammar Gaddafi marks the end of an era of despotism and repression from which the Libyan people have suffered for too long" and called for a process of national "reconciliation."
They were pipped to the post only by Gaddafi's one-time friend, Italian leader Silvio Berlusconi, who one hour earlier said: "The war is over" and quoted a latin proverb "sic tranist gloria mundi", meaning "so passes the glory of this world."
British leader David Cameron later added: "I'm proud of the role Britain has played and I pay tribute to the bravery of the Libyans who helped liberate their country."
French defence minister Gerard Longuet noted: "If it's confirmed, it's a good outcome."

Wonder do they still think the same??

were the laughing stock of europe with the le ethna main topic on the rte news every night?not a word about it on italys news stations? can they not see the trafficers are also laughing at us giving them millions more in fares as they are telling the poeple about our marvellous le ethna and how sure they are of picking you up...a sad state of affairs..

the irish government will have f**k all to do with the solution that sooner or later  will be implemented to the crisis in the mediterranean.i am proud of the crew of the le niamh on this humanitarian mission rescuing refugees.under the geneva convention these refugees should be helped and as a small country,we are doing our bit.

Why don't ya offer to house and feed one or two of the refugees Rat?  It's the way forward instead of giving out the ould false sympathy,adopt a hands on approach.

But pa -surely you wouldn't wish that fate on any refugee ...haven't they suffered enough already ?

Ha Vubiant, now that you say it he is bound to go banging on about JBM and the Cork GAA crisis and that isn't fair on anyone even if they have no English.

Vubiant, you've just solved the refugee situation..

get a grip old pa.why are you so bitter?is it because you had to leave?the men and women on the le niamh love their country and are doing what is right by international law.

I,ve no doubt they do Rat,still they inadvertently caused the loss of hundreds of lives during the week, the Irish media dressed it up as a great humanitarian effort and leaned very heavily on how they rescued them,Coveney was in overdrive lauding them but the harsh reality is if they weren't there very likely those people would be alive.
Big difference between those being persecuted and economic migrants,up to yourself to decide which is the majority but i wouldn't rely too heavily on the Irish media.

you really do not have a clue?do you?we are talking about human beings here!

It does beg the question , are we savers or killers ,  alright Pa

Clueless,but you are happy enough being fed by the country's media that everything is simply wonderful,that they are doing a great job,it is all justified etc.Do you not think the Le Niamh should have been slow to approach after the exact same thing happened in April,again with the loss of hundreds of lives?

How many of these human beings would Kingrat let in and how would he fund their support.

By his emotional reasoning we should accept around 200,000 of them,it still won't solve the problem we will just have to keep on letting them in because they are desperate.

The crew of the LE Niamh are involved in a criminal conspiracy with the traffickers,they don't deserve praise they should be charged with treason.

what year did you leave ireland wildman?

1964.

There was no welfare then,no housing benefits and plenty of work.
I didnt break the law going there and never broke it while I was there.

whow!when did you come back home?

1994.

That's one thing these current migrants will never do,go home.

everybody accepts that you were an economic migrant wildman but i am talking about refugees.

Coffin ships?Anyone?

America is a huge country and in those days savagely under populated.
They wanted people and there was no welfare,if you didnt make it there you went home,30% of them did just that.

Europe doesn't want immigrants,it especially doesn't want Muslim immigrants.
This present Darwinian winnowing means the strong survive.
We don't know how many of them are Jihadists but we do know Islam is a threat to our civilisation.

How many would Kingrat let in ?

Well ,as part of the international community,we will and should do our bit,that will be negotiated.How many of the vietnamese boat people did we take?

Have no doubts the presence of the LE Niamh in the Meditteranean  caused the death of those 40 migrants that suffocated.

The traffickers know they have an ally in the Irish Navy,they are using unseaworthy boats because they don't have to travel far,they don't need much diesel.

The alliance of the Irish Navy and the traffickers is wrong and will cause more deaths.

agree totally.were aiding the traffickers for sure.can they not see this?

heros!the clash will be playing to the crowd as the  boys and girls that stand by the republic comes back home to port!

The Clash might be apt as if the LE Niamh were so concerned about these migrants they would have brought them here.

That would have caused some clash and would have done plenty for our homeless crisis

The crew should hang there heads in shame,they were involved in people smuggling,they made fortunes for the people smugglers.
They also caused the death of some migrants,their presence in the Meditteranean,their lightning response to the smugglers whistle has emboldened the smugglers to cutback on diesel and use unseaworthy boats.

Think it's a case of "London calling". Before she ever set off i must have been the only feckin eejit with the view of that the ship is going out to try and stop these immigrants getting into the EU,amazing really.

btw i think the taoiseach should meet it ,whatever our political persuasions?we are great at international affairs.

When I first heard Golden Brown I thought it was about his girlfriends suntan.

The Taoiseach shouldn't be there but Interpol should,the lot should be in handcuffs.

what about thin lizzy?"the boys are back in town" nah,we will go with the clash.

Not Thin Lizzy they bloody started it.

well?you have got to admit,Phil was 1 hell of a hero!

Phil's mother has a lot to answer for eh Wildmanfromboreno...

Great singer,great song writer but a despicable wife beating junkie.

will you ever dump wonks,wildman?the geezer has no brains.

Two lads paddling in the Meditteranean were picked up by the LE Niamh and despite their protestations were still dumped in Italy.

The LE Niamh will go down as Ireland's deadliest ship.
She has been responsible for more migrant deaths than all the other boats running that particular smuggling service.

i beg your pardon lads,its the stranglers i was thinking of.imagine the captain of the le niamh and his crew standing to attention as the taoiseach walks up the pier to face them." no more heros" playing to the crowd as kenny takes the salute,magic!

No posts on the thread for a month and the oz digs it up

OBSESSED

I most certainly did not dig it up.

I'd find it hard to believe that bf would delete a wildman post

U must have imagined it

Apology accepted.

He sees me here,he sees me there,he sees me every bloody where..

He is even seeing phantom posts.

At least he has moved on from obsessing about Tony.

Le Samuel Beckett continues the "good work", 218 "rescued" according to our surely non biased national media. Reports say they were picked up near the Libyan city of Tripoli. Is it "rescuing" them or picking them up outside the harbour?
The immigration council of Ireland are now making demands of how to integrate these "refugees" and why won't they as they now have something to do. The CEO of that organisation is branding them all as "fleeing for their lives" and has long term plans of reuniting them with their loved ones,that i presume is in Ireland, lovely as that must mean for each one the extended family is also invited.
