In 2008 The CSO issued a report called "Population and Labor Force Projections, 2011-2041". This report concluded that by maintaining the total fertility rate as it was then, coupled with strong net migration, there would be an increase in population of 67 per cent between 2006 and 2041. Under this scenario the projected population for 2041 would be around 7 million people. At the other extreme it concluded, zero net migration allied to decreasing fertility in the following years, (as was happening) would result in a population level of just under 5 million people by the same year: 2041. The difference in population between the highest and lowest outcomes by 2041 would be 2.2 million people.
At 5 million there would still be enough of us, this number would be natural, it could be planned and cared for, it would be sustainable and it could be carried by our land: its environment and ecology. A population of around 7 million people however would not be natural, it would be unsustainable and destructive, it would increasingly be foreign, it would have dramatic effects on our poor and less educated, and it would be alien to those who believed in protecting our culture and traditions.
The Irish political class in its entirety chose the seven million people model: and they implemented it without regard or question. No one was asked about it, or informed about it, it appeared in no political manifesto, the Irish media in its entirety kept it off the agenda.
Immigration however is now running at about 70,000 per year, a figure above the predictions of the CSO report mentioned above, so the seven million people model looks set to become the 10 million people model, now been mentioned with increasingly regularity.
On RTE Radio 1s Drivetime, Feb 14th, 2019, Ibec's Chief Economist Fergal O'Brien said that Ireland needs to better plan for the 10 million plus population soon to be living on the island of Ireland. Today's population north and south is somewhere less that seven million, so where is the further 3 million plus people to come from. They can only come from immigration! This figure of a 10 million people population is now being mentioned more and more. It appears again and again in discussion, papers and argument. It is I believe not just the unspoken political policy of Ireland but the logical outcome of our adherence to the EUs open society model.
But do you agree with this rise in human number, and if so why? We are an island of little resources, with increasing technological robbery of jobs, with staggering levels of homelessness, poverty and inequality appearing, with a disputed border and the constant stirring of religious and civil unrest. The plan of more people is in effect, the cancer cell model of growth: growth for growths sake alone. It suits only the business man, but not the ordinary man, it flies in the face of our so called preparation for climate change, it can only damage our own poor, our culture and above all our environment and ecology. It is about as far from sustainable planning as one can imagine. So please make yourself aware of this, approach your politician and demand an answer to this;at least you will then know why things are happening as they are. But ask now: while you still can! The recent UN Morrocan Immigration Accord, signed by Ireland in 2018, soon makes it a human right to emigrate into Ireland and a criminal offence to question or challenge it.
Population Plan.
Essential to our future now is the insistence
on a safe, sustainable population plan; one that will state clearly how
many people will be living In Ireland in 10, 20, 50 years. Then we must
hold to that plan as policy number one. Without this plan our future is
left to hope, chance and gamble.
Each census will show hundreds of thousands of unexplained, unwanted and
unneeded people living here, as happens so often until
perhaps the census itself will be deemed incorrect, racist and banned.
