Don't worry. He has put a good system in place. I'm sure the other guys can keep it up!

Fingers crossed!

Shocking news!! Very very sad...

Alan Shatter did a remarkable job with the immigration system, his predecessors did not care about immigrants.

Hats off to Mr Shatter !

I really hope the new minister does not goto old practices and is as good as Shatter.

Sad to see him go before he finished his job, a good man, in a rotten system created by the likes of John O'Donoghue.

if there was one person that might have undone FF discrimination, the rot, it was Shatter.
He tried a little, just a bit too little, that was his downfall.
he know what was wrong, and failed to remove the rot, be it Garda abuse, or INIS abuse.

I expect things to get very dark, if anyone remembers the proposed 2008 Bill by Dermot Ahern, I fear
something like that is next.

Shatter, a good man, in a rotten system.

Sad to hear the news yesterday, what a shame. Let's hope that the system he created will be mantained.
