Calling her disastrous is understatement.
A minister with a 1.4% success rate at her job is a liability.

Speaking to Matt Cooper on The Last Word in 2007, the Taoiseach, Bertie Ahern admitted that immigration could not continue at the levels of the last 10 years and admitted that perhaps another percentage point, from 10% to 11% was as far as we could go.
Taoiseach: "Our capacity to continue or to move beyond the 10% figure, I would have grave doubts about that. I'm not saying you can't go to 11.You can't go as we have done in a decade from probably 2% to 10 and in the next decade go from 10 to 20."
Matt Cooper: "So does that mean we have enough immigrants who have come to the country at this stage, as far as you are concerned?"
Taoiseach: "I think the numbers that we'll be able to take in in the next 10 years will not be able to match the numbers that came in in the last 10 years and I think that is self-evident. There is no country or at least very few countries with our size and capabilities would end up with 20% of the workforce non-Irish."

I admit that I was Commandant General Commanding in Chief the forces of the Irish Republic which have been acting against you for the past week, and that I was President of their Provisional Government. I stand over all my acts and words done or spoken in those capacities.
When I was a child of ten I went down on my bare knees by my bedside one night & promised God that I should devote my life to an effort to free my country. I have kept that promise. As a boy & as a man I have worked for Irish freedom, first among all earthly things. I have helped to organise, to arm, to train, and to discipline my fellow-countrymen to the sole end that, when the time came, they might fight for Irish freedom. The time, as it seemed to me, did come, and we went into the fight. I am glad we did. We seem to have lost. We have not lost. To refuse to fight would have been to lose; to fight is to win. We have kept faith with the past, & handed on a tradition to the future.

Asylum seekers pitch up opposite a 5-star hotel in the affluent south Dublin neighbourhood of Ballsbridge after being warned that tents can no longer be erected near the IPO around Mount Street.
Up to 15 men, from Afghanistan and Somalia, arrived at St Mary’s Church Park on St Mary’s Road shortly before 9pm last night on the suggestion of volunteers.
The small park is the property of St Mary’s Catholic Church on Haddington Road.
Gardaí advised they would be patrolling the area through the night. They said they did not want “the situation to escalate” and asked that the men leave the park before local primary schools opened on Friday morning.

Ballsbridge asylum seekers the top story on Newstalk.
"Obviously they were noticed by some of the residents who came down and were investigating what was going on, and quickly after that gardaí arrived, and the parish priest here that owns the little park came down to investigate, and he said they could stay here overnight as long as they were gone first thing in the morning."
Quite different to what happened when they pitched tents on Sandwith St.

Ballsbridge park unsuitable for asylum seekers.
-Labour leader and local TD Ivana Bacik.
Will Trinity students from the Dept of Sociology be down to oppose their removal or do they only do that in working class areas?

They've gone. D4SaysNO the most successful and fastest opposition campaign in Irish history! They didn't even have to make a banner.
>Some 15 homeless asylum seekers have been moved on from Ballsbridge in Dublin after setting up tents their last night.
>Ms Holland said the asylum seekers were packing up by 8am this morning and were unsure of what lay ahead.
>“They will regroup and decide where to pitch tents tonight, they’re on the move around the city to find somewhere to stay and hopefully not have to move every night.”

Taoiseach Simon Harris has described as inappropriate the protest which occurred outside his home in Greystones yesterday evening.
Over a dozen protesters carried banners and placards reading:
'House the Irish First'
'Éire will no longer be run by EU puppets'
'South Dublin says No'
'Close the borders'
'Stop the invasion'
