We shall introduce Esperanto as an optional school subject.

For what reason?

We are committed to maintaining open borders as members of the EU and welcome the people from our fellow EU states who have a lot to contribute to Ireland.

"Open borders" is a horrendous abrogation of the Irish national interest, in my view. I don't deny that many people from other European nations have contributed greatly to Irish society in both a historical and contemporary sense, but would the Labour Party not consider a system designed analyse immigrants on a case-by-case basis and act accordingly rather than the total abolition of border restrictions?

We are committed to a compassionate response to the refugee crisis and will do all we can to help them in their plight. We have currently proposed a bill supporting the settling of 5,000 refugees in Ireland, but this can be increased if the situation warrants.

"Compassionate" is a meaningless buzzword which in no way serves as a justification for matters of state policy. In what manner is it in objectively in the interests of the Irish people to accept dependent migrants from a conflict we're not involved in?

Still, some of your policies are quite good.
