For the last few years since the CV19 scamdemic undocumented immigration into Ireland has surged. No one is allowed discuss it because they do not want any rational debate about it. If you do you are labelled an extremist. However this out of control immigration is fully facilitated by the Irish government and the EU and the shady figure behind the Neo Con movement pushing for endless war, wokeism and globalist agenda.

CHEAP LABOUR =MORE PROFIT FOR THE SHITHOLDERS OF THE COMPANY

I very much doubt that any but the most xenophobic of Irish hospitality workers are loosing their appetite for work due to varied nationalities. I've worked in hotels when I was younger, and I have never seen any division based on nationality. The fact is that in order to stay competitive Irish hotels need to hire staff that don't feel the over-whelming sense of self-entitlement that blights the Irish. Hair-dressers, block-layers, waiters and IT staff all feel that they are owed the world simply for doing a hard days work. Lucky we have the Poles and the Lithuanians to show us what work ethic is really about.
Last year, a well known
Dublin City hotel employed a Muslim barman and were forced to terminate his employment when he refused to serve alcohol. The man claimed that serving alcohol was offensive to his religious beliefs, and wanted to only serve teas and coffees.
I accept your point Caoimhe that your experience may have been different, but the report I received on the matter indicates that there are underlying tensions.
How much longer can the job displacements continue? With this in mind, surely, in a few years time, there will be no such thing as a 'summer job' for college students or those alike because of this whole job dispossession. I doubt P. Rabbette will make much of a difference if he gets into office the next term on the wrok permits issue. His immigration policy is a farce. Wonder what his work permit policy will be like? The same??
While I dont necessarily disagree with the general topic of your story you need to be careful about the tone that these storys can often look to be written in.
For example 'Many are struck by the new environment in which they have to labour, and are losing their appetites for working in an environment which now contains so many strangers.'
I personally have worked (in the beverages and catering section) for a Jurys hotel for the past year and a half and there is no divsion among the staff on the basis of nationality. The migrant workers are most definetly not 'strangers' to the rest of the staff. To claim that ppl are 'losing their appetite' to work because there are 'so many' migrant workers in the work environment is rubbish in my experience.
The divisions that do exist on the basis of nationality of staff are that the migrant workers are often expected to work even longer hours than the Irish staff (the Irish staff are expected to work too long hours as it is, but the migrant workers are worked even harder).
If wages and working conditions drop where there is a strong presence of migrant workers this is due to employers exploting workers. The migrant workers are not the cause of these problems, the employers are who have found yet another way to exploit their employees are. we as employees need to be very careful not accept the current discourse that our fellow employees are the problem and keep focused on the fact that our employers and our employers alone are the ones causing the wage and working conditions problems.
