Non national homeless

https://m.independent.ie/irish-news/news/we-have-done-nothing-wrong-a-day-in-the-life-of-a-homeless-family-38260238.html

This mother at least trying to work and make an effort. But this story shows the reality behind the homeless figures. 56 percent are non national. This woman and the oldest 2 kids are Moldovan. How are they even here. That's not an EU country. So we have to house educate and medically care for this family of 4 where daddy is no longer on the scene. 2 eldest kids also awaiting hip replacements.

I wonder do these eastern European countries think we are a bunch of eegits. Move to Ireland and hop on the gravy train.

Reality is, This country has become eejits when it comes to the gravy train. Were far to soft in fear of being seen as politically incorrect.

When they hear and see what Irish travellers get away with why shouldn’t others get looked after ?
At least Moldovans like this case or other emigrants to our shores are prepared do a days work !

There’s plenty of paddys able to work the system too with a council house for him and a council house for her and the kids.
And not a bit of thanks from any of the animals or a bit of gratitude,only a huge sense of self entitlement,a reluctance to work and a feeling of being hard done by.

Most Moldovans are entitled to Romanian passports, kind of like Northern Ireland and ourselves. They bad mouth Romania any chance they get but take their passports gladly enough as it gets them EU access

Irrelevant to the OP's point.

You're not wrong, and people like you described need to be effectively sanctioned and identified too, but that doesn't mean that we should have any obligation to people like in the OP's article - especially when we can't even deal with those you called out anyway.

Everytime I hear about the homeless figures I think of the piece by Paddy O'Gorman, or it could have been his doppelganger on Newstalk, where the plight of two homeless Eastern Europeans living in a tent on a patch of waste ground in Dublin was mentioned as an aside.

The situation is never going to get any better as long as free movement of people around Europe is allowed. This country is like a boat with a hole in it being baled out with a leaky bucket. It could be a mathematical quiz question - if a rowing boat is sinking and the crew bail out a gallon of water per minute but two gallons of water flow through the hole in the bottom of the boat, how long before the boat sinks? However this question cannot be asked because it's racist and doesn't fit with the PC agenda which will sink the 'Europe Project' eventually.

I'm off on a tangent here, but sure...

The EU will collapse yet imo and the free travel and especially the loose external borders will be a key factor. There's just too many nations and rivalries, with differing social norms and expectations, and hugely varying economic performance/self-sufficiency for it to work as a political entity in the long term.

It worked in the US (well, sorta!) because everyone considers their American identity as something important and valuable.. Not so in Europe where people will gladly take advantage of the travel and employment opportunities, stuff like trade and online shopping, and so on - but in the end consider themselves no more "European" than an American would.

There's no European identity and no consensus among the people (regardless of what the politicians may want) about what Europe is or should be. National interests will always come first. In Europe, that means the dominance of 2 really, and that doesn't sit well with most of the other members either.

I can see it breaking down with the next major crisis. We're very quick to criticise Brexit and the decisions there, but I think the EU was on the verge a few times over the last decade (things like the enforced and aggressive austerity policies on Greece and even ourselves, or the "come one, come all" immigration policy badly disguised as humanitarian aid) and it wouldn't take much more to push it over.

What are you on about? "Free movement" as enshrined in EU law does not correspond to "access to benefits".



It sounds like you have been following too many Brexiteers from across the water

Galwayguy35

We are a welfare state so it's it's going to draw them to our country like a bear to honey.

And it will get worse as long as Governments here increase the welfare spend every year.

We only have to look across the water to see how it will all end up and it's not a pretty sight.

That's nothing to do with the EU though. EU rules only allow them to come. If it really becomes an issue, then the government here can decide not to hand out benefits to people who just arrive


https://www.europarl.europa.eu/factsheets/en/sheet/41/free-movement-of-workers

Since the introduction of EU citizenship, the CoJ has extended access to social benefits for EU citizens residing in another Member State (Cases C-184/99 Grzelczyk, C-224/98 D’Hoop). The status of first-time job seekers is currently the subject of intense discussion, as they do not have a worker status to retain. In Cases C-138/02 Collins and C-22/08 Vatsouras, the CoJ found that such EU citizens had a right of equal access to a financial benefit intended to facilitate access to the labour market for job seekers; such a benefit consequently cannot be considered to be ‘social assistance’, to which Directive 2004/38/EC excludes access. However, Member States may require a real link between the job seeker and the labour market of the Member State in question. The CoJ further clarified the situation of previously employed workers in its Alimanovic judgment (C-67/14). The individuals concerned had worked, and had consequently retained their worker status for a further six months after becoming unemployed (Article 7(3)(c) of the directive). However, the CoJ held that following the expiry of this period EU citizens can only claim equal treatment with nationals, and thus access to social assistance, if their residence in the Member State concerned complies with the conditions of the directive. Although Article 14(4)(b) of the directive prohibits the expulsion of unemployed EU citizens as long as they continue to seek employment, Article 24(2) expressly allows a Member State to refuse to grant social assistance to EU citizens whose right of residence is based solely on this non-expulsion provision. The CoJ further held that no individual assessment is necessary when it comes to access to social assistance.

So if you just arrive off the boat, EU doesn't force the Irish government to give you anything. If you work and then get laid off, then for 6 months you would be entitled to benefits. I think it is right and fair to be allowed that if you have been working here.



Give out about it if you want, but direct it at the relevant entity. It's not the EU's fault. It's like the Brexit people on the street you'd see interviewed blaming the EU for all the people in the UK from India or elsewhere outside the EU.

See previous post. If you have proof otherwise, please let us know. I'd imagine that you hold a commonly held misconception that the EU laws force countries to provide these benefits to anyone just off the boat. That is not the case. Some countries might enforce their rules more strongly than others, but that is not the fault of EU law.


EU provides for
1) free movement of people
2) Equal local access to social benefits for those workers who move to another EU country

A country has to give the same benefits to every worker. That doesn't mean you have to consider a person off the boat as a "worker".

Stop moaning ffs

187,000 Irish people emigrated between 2012-2017. No problems. But yeah let’s end free movement. Immigrants coming here are problems.

That’s some reach.

Has there been any studies done on the likely levels of immigration to Ireland under a no deal Brexit scenario? Are we looking at much of an increase?

It's absolute madness an only going to get worse.

OK; in Ireland you have to establish "permanent residency" to qualify for benefits? I think it is now a year?

I think you’ll see the Belgian model adapted. You have three months to find work and have to be able to fund yourself in that time. If you don’t find work at the end of the three months you have to leave. As far as I know they’re pretty good at turning out those people after three months.

Don't think to many would emigrate expecting to be housed, clothed and fed.

If you really think so, take out every worker in spars centras and huge amounts of IT industry and you’ll be left with tens of thousands of empty jobs.
Jobs a lot of our Irish won’t do by the way.

The emigrants from Ireland went to countries that require visas, like USA, Australia and Canada.
Are you ok with that, or do you insist America and Oz let Irish in without visas?

And just to expand upon that - any Irish without one should be sent home too.

(the argument you replied to is all to often used in these discussions)

It should be a case of if your cannot support yourself or family whenever you decide to come here ,the government should have the right to return to sender rather than being expected to house and permanently support non nationals with no ties to the country

That is the case. See my post above related to European Court of Justice which mentioned 6 months after losing a job



However, if someone from EU is here 10 years and settled and loses their job, then it's only fair that they be treated equally to "natives". Not immediately deported

Did the article say 56% of homeless were non nationals?(paywall so can't see).
