25% OF RAPE SUSPECTS IN IRELAND ARE IMMIGRANTS
Files with the Director of Public Prosecutions show 25% of suspects are immigrants.
African men are 10 times more likely to be accused of Rape. East Europeans are 7 times more likely.
A disporportionate amount of Africans and East European men are accused of rape.
1 in every 10 rape allegations were made against a combination of these 2 groups.
Foreign nationals are also more likely to be prosecuted by the DPP.

@brianmoran1973 Irish people's salary expectations are just too high. Still earning more than other Eurozone countries, even after being bailed out. Unbelieveable....

Irish people are also emigrating because they haven't the courage to stand back and take an objective look at themselves. They expect big salaries, low work hours, long holidays and are non-productive..... they are in for a big surprise if they believe they can attain these in Australia or Canada.
You get off your ass and work for the going rate, like anyone else. Otherwise, go wherever you want (because it won't be any different).
