ZeroOverZero101 attends open meeting on the future of Ireland in Europe
Today in the Dublin Castle Printworks, u/ZeroOverZero101, the Progressive Democrats candidate for Leinster, attended an open meeting with Dubliners about Irelandís future in the European Union. A number of dedicated citizens showed up to discuss all things Europe with the Progressive Democrat.
îGood afternoon, everyone. Itís great to see you all be here tonight so we can engage in a productive dialogue about the future of Ireland in the European Union. The Progressive Democrats always have all ears open to our constituents and would love to hear what you have to say. Anything you say to me goes straight to the boss, and you will be heard.î ZeroOverZero101 said to open up the day
Whilst things got slightly heated at times, the discussion remained civil. Where constituents disagreed, ZeroOverZero101 was able to talk to them constructively and in many cases open their minds up to new points of view.
îFrankly, Iím sick of the migration levels that we get from the EU, theyíre just taking too many jobs!î said Derek, a pensioner from Ballsbridge.
îWell Derek, you seem like a very impassioned man, and I canít fault you for that. Your views are heard loud and clear but Iím gonna disagree with you on this. In many ways, the European migrants that live all over Ireland, especially here in Dublin, have contributed to our economy in so many different ways. The jobs that migrants tend to go into are ones that native born Irish people have no desire to go into anyway, if we cut our migration we would see a huge problem with our services sector as we have a shortage of low-skill labour, and this would drive up the costs of everything being sold in these industries too, this would be a very bad thing for you, Derek, and I hope you can see that.î ZeroOverZero101 assured him to a satisfactory round of nods.
The dialogue continued for nearly two hours before the Dubliner brought it to a close to continue his busy canvassing schedule.
ìIíd like to thank you all for coming here. I think that weíve probably all learned something today and had our eyes open to new points of views. The moment I leave this building I will call u/RedOmega83 and tell him all about the concerns we have voiced here today, and Iím sure heíll listen. Thank you and I hope you see that the Progressive Democrats offer the brightest future for Ireland and Europe.î
