Irish official says immigrants made us better-looking.

[oh-nahhh]

A veteran Fine Gael TD has said immigration has been good for Ireland as the country needed to “expand our gene pool” . Olivia Mitchell claimed immigration in the Celtic Tiger years has already resulted in physical improvements.

Contacted by The Irish Times about her comments , Ms Mitchell said she believed that the “mobilty of races” had had a positive impact on Ireland.
“I think as an island country cut off from the rest of Europe, it’s a good thing that we have a certain amount of immigration. Mobility of races is a good thing,” she said.
“You can even see the better-looking and taller children now as a result of the Celtic Tiger years. I think it’s a good thing to keep our IQs up there; it’s not just about appearance.”

It's sounds like a silly joke.

Wtf, I was very envious of Ireland because they were a very homogenous country.
Don't they see the problem eveywhhere in Europe when non white people immigrate.
Are they stupid or just diabolic like most European elites ??

Thats some real Celtic pride right there...

The Irish like to call Dublin West Brits. Their politicians would be the equivalent to our London ones. So it would be big up both Capitalism greed and migration benefits to it.

Thats some real Celtic pride right there...

The Celtic cringe.

Its very interesting how comments like this reveal the perversity of such a mentality. The stance is taken from a position of the Irish being something less or slightly inadequate, only made better by immigrants. In other words the comments are debasing Ireland. 'We are lesser people who need immigration to make us adequate'. Any Irishman who agrees with it is insulting his own country.

The Irish are a good looking bunch, they don't need foreigners to make them look better.

Blacks and towelheads will make Ireland look more attractive.
