Multicultural picnic uniting migrants and Irish in Dublin this Saturday July 22nd.
This Saturday, July 22nd at 2pm in St Kevin’s Park, Camden Row, the People Before Profit Alliance is holding a free multicultural picnic to bring local Irish and migrants together and promote mutual understanding and solidarity. Multicultural picnic uniting migrants and Irish in Dublin this Saturday July 22nd.
This Saturday, July 22nd at 2pm in St Kevin’s Park, Camden Row, the People Before Profit Alliance is holding a free multicultural picnic to bring local Irish and migrants together and promote mutual understanding and solidarity.
The picnic is organised to counter some of the myths being spread around about asylum seekers and immigrants, particularly during the recent hunger strike by Afghanistan asylum seekers. It will counter the demands being made by some people that it is time now, given the census statistics, to reduce the number of immigrants coming here. We welcome migrants to Ireland. It will also encourage migrants and Irish to unite and get involved in trade unions and campaigns for better local services. There will be food from around the world available, face painting, music and more.
Speaking at the picnic will be some of the asylum seekers involved in the hunger strike, local community activists, People Before Profit Alliance campaigners, African and Polish migrants.
Some politicians, the media and others are claiming that migrants are to blame for people losing jobs, housing, access to health. The facts suggest otherwise:
* It is ruthless employers who are firing workers and replacing them with cheaper labour.
* The health crisis is as a result of cutbacks in the 1980s. The government's
promise to provide 3,000 extra beds has not been delivered.
* The housing crisis is a result of the failure of the government to fulfill its promise to provide 40,000 affordable homes.
* Asylum seekers only get €19 a week. They are fleeing war and torture.
* It is important to counter the demands being made by some people that it is time now, given the census statistics, to reduce the number of immigrants coming here. We welcome migrants to Ireland.
There is enough wealth in this country to provide housing, jobs and a decent quality of life for everyone here, local Irish and the 'new' Irish (migrants and asylum seekers). But those running the country at the moment don't want a country for the people. They just want it to be a paradise for big business to make profits.
If migrants and Irish can unite in, for example, the trade unions and campaigns for better local services (like the Irish Ferries and Gama disputes) we can win improvements in the conditions for everyone."

Hope the picnic went well and its aims of mutual understanding and solidarity between the diverse groups in Ireland were met. Just one point.
You said the purpose of the picnic was to bring 'local Irish and migrants together' - sounds like a good idea, to promote understanding between people of different cultures.
you also said the purpose was to counter myths being spread about 'asylum seekers and immigrants'. Migrants and asylum seekers are very distinct categories of people, you speak of these groups as if they are one and the same.
you say 'Asylum seekers only get €19 a week. They are fleeing war and torture'. It appears that a gross generalization is being perpetuated here, perhaps even a myth. Most asylum seekers claim to be fleeing persecution of some type, sometimes war and or torture. However, if you look at the figures you will see that after investigations, only a small minority of those claiming these things are found to be genuine.
It is generalizations such as these which discredit the otherwise worthy sentiment behind events such as the above.
“We are trying to say the problems with housing and the health system are not due to migrants but decades of underfunding by successive governments.”

Rory Hearne, one of the organisers from the People Before Profit Alliance, said the picnic would help combat demands being made by some people that it was time now, given the census statistics, to reduce the number of immigrants coming here.
Do we really want to encouage agencies to bring in low paid workers?
Very noble idea bringing the communities together. Integration is vital between indigeneous and immigrants. I appreciate you trying something.
Also agree with Jane that it must not be claimed that all asylum seekers are genuine.
Also I disagree completely with people like SWP who believe we shouldn't have any immigration barriers and no one should be deported.
Even Afganistan has a deportion policy (for Christians):
Afghanistan to Deport All Korean Evangelicals
Afghanistan's President Hamid Karzai has ordered the “complete expulsion” of all Koreans who went there to take part in a “peace march” organized by an evangelical organization, the Foreign Ministry said Wednesday. Lee Joon-kyu, the ministry’s director general in charge of consular affairs, told KBS radio that Kabul informed the Korean Embassy of the decision on Tuesday.
A group of 35 Koreans who arrived at Kabul airport on Tuesday were the first to be stopped. A source with the Institute of Asian Culture and Development, a coalition of evangelical groups sponsoring the event, claimed a few Koreans were injured when Afghan police wielded metal clubs to subdue them, but a Foreign Ministry official quoted a staffer who was present as saying no one was struck, and one individual suffered an abrasion when they resisted.
