Hello everyone

Hello everyone. The latest report issued by the Central Bank lays out some very, very stark reading for the labor market in Ireland. This has become a economy driven by the profits of those at the very top society, driving inequality, and forcing more indigenous Irish workers to emigrate. We've seen the net migration figures rise exponentially over the last number of years, where we have record amounts of emigration. Now, the latest report really bears out the mass immigration agenda, which benefits the.

Big employers at the expense of ordinary indigenous Irish workers. It is stated since COVID, six in 10 new jobs are occupied by foreign nationals. So, mass migration is fueling the economy for the profits of those at the very top, isn't it? And the multinationals. Now, this has shown that the market has increased to 2.83 million people, which has increased by over 355,000 since 2019 up until the end of 2024.

Now, as I've said in many videos, Ireland's a low-wage economy, where one of five workers are on low pay. And this is skewed by many of those who work in higher-paid jobs, such as finance, information technology, communications also as well. But in the last number of days, we've seen the statement issued by Meta and the multinationals here in Ireland in terms of the move towards artificial intelligence and more profits for the likes of the Zuckerbergs and many of.

Those who are profiting from the big tech corporation bubble. Now, at the same time, 20% of those jobs are going to be gone in Ireland. And Peter Burke, the Enterprise Minister, said that he will do whatever it takes to make make that uh people are redeployed in other parts of the sector. Now, this doesn't bear out any rational facts. Those are because at the same time, many of those who work in the information technology and communication sector are vastly.

Uh paid a lot more than many of those who are working in low-paid jobs, many in retail, accommodation, and many other sectors in Ireland, and even low-paid tech workers as well. Because it will US multinationals, the average wage would be €1,440 per week. And this skews the average national wage because 9% of workers earn about 17% of the wages, essentially. So, again, it skews the average wage and forces, again, the profits of those companies upwards, and many, many immigrants come in.

Different forms, different forms, uh different parts, and different

Different forms, different forms, uh different parts, and different sectors in Irish economy. Now, at the same time, we've seen the reduction in terms of those amounts of people working in IT and communications, but at the same time, we've seen an increase in many nationalities coming to Ireland. In particular, you can look at the amount of Indians that have come to Ireland since 2019, which has increased 242% up to 79,632 with the end of 2024.

Now, this is driven by people like uh Peter Burke and many government ministers have forced it through the work permit system, working at the behest of their big employers, while ordinary workers suffer. Now, at the same time, many of those work in those jobs, and then they can stay here for maybe a number of years before they get citizenship. And also, it has an implication on accommodation costs because many who come here are higher wages can pay higher rents,.

Pushes rents up, and pushes property prices up as well. There's no restrictions on many of those buying homes in Ireland, and which they do. So, this is what's taking place in Ireland. And at the other end of the spectrum, we can see the amount of Ukrainians that have come to Ireland over the last few years as beneficiaries of the temporary protection directive. Now, this has increased by 1,122% since 2019, where it was 2,162 Ukrainians working in Ireland. Now,.

There's 26,419. And wait for it, many of these work in accommodation, food, and retail sectors, which are historically lower paid. Here we go. Benefits the big employers, doesn't it? And the hoteliers. Uh cuz the average wage in that sector is about 391 euro per week. But many of the Ukrainians also are beneficiaries of the accommodation recognition payment, but also free accommodation. So, when you're work when you're working off at low very low wages, and in terms of.

“Uh cuz the average wage in that sector is about 391 euro per week”

Free accommodation, you can work for low wages because you don't have accommodation costs to to pay. And when you understand how high rents are in Ireland, this is what drives the agenda in terms of mass immigration and the context to what's taking place. And what's interesting over the last few days has been no commentary around the low-wage economy, no commentary from the opposition to say we should be putting restrictions on what's taking place. No dissent to send some voices and.

Articulate the arguments that I'm presenting in this video

Articulate the arguments that I'm presenting in this video because they've no interest in in doing that because they're all tied and wedded to the globalist establishment. This has always been the agenda in Ireland. You've seen so many of the politicians and many others, like Peter Sutherland, driving this agenda for years and years. And now the Irish government are claiming they're doing something about it because the new European Union asylum and migration pact is going to open the.

Door for more talent coming from various countries around the world where they're going to pull a brain drain again and to work in this so-called economy. So, Ireland's not a society. It's only there to benefit the big employers, the multinationals as a tax haven. And also drives many indigenous Irish workers into poverty and immigration and creates more tensions in society. And what better way to to create more tensions than to drive this agenda?

Rather than dealing with addressing the underlying issues of the massive inequalities being driven by massive profits for these multinationals while ordinary workers suffer. But this is what's being driven by the establishment. So, unless we go tackling the big corporations and tackling the power they have through Ireland and across the European Union. You're really really at next to nothing because the drive is towards a technocratic top-down institution in Europe being driven by these corporations who ferment and pursue this agenda.

Because 70% of legislation comes from the European Union through the European Commission into Ireland which is transposed into Irish law. But it has a big corporate lobbyist. And currently in Brussels there's been 25,000 of those corporate lobbyists are based. You never hear lobbyists for the working class here in Ireland or the working class anywhere across Europe. It's all about the big employers pushing those policies the neoliberal agenda and now the globalist agenda which benefits those big employers and undermines.

National sovereignty, national identity, national culture, national heritage, and sense of place. And it is a little easier for those employers to control workers when you have many different nationalities working. That's what benefits the big employers. And then they can undermine national identity and national history and in terms of the whole demographic of countries. So, this is what's taking place in Ireland.

It's labor in the Central Statistics report most recently

It's labor in the Central Statistics report most recently as well. And what's driving the economy. We should be building a strong society that serves the needs of our citizens, not have this mass immigration agenda, which again who does it serve? Whose interests does does it represent and serve? Not only working class people and many of those who are struggling in fuel poverty, homelessness, and at sharpest end are dying on our streets because they can't afford anywhere to live.

So, thanks so much for the support. Really appreciate it. And uh please keep sharing my videos. So, I'm Dublin today. Slán go foil. See you soon. Bye-bye.

Six in ten new jobs since Covid go to foreign nationals — “who does it serve?”.

A Central Bank report lays out stark reading on the Irish labour market: since Covid, six in ten new jobs have been filled by foreign nationals, in a workforce that has grown by over 355,000 since 2019 to 2.83 million. Dooley argues the figures bear out a mass-immigration agenda run for the big employers and multinationals — a low-wage economy that drives profits upwards while indigenous Irish workers are pushed toward poverty and emigration.
