Ireland running out of accommodation for Ukrainian refugees due to surge in non-Ukrainian refugees?

    Is this really happening?

    Only heard about it this week, but in the context of it being the UK's fault for having the Rwanda refugee plan.

    The Citywest scheme was setup to house Ukrainian refugees, but only 30% of people there are Ukrainian? (Irish Independent).

    Although other sources like the BBC says the Rwanda policy has not reduced the number of illegal migrants coming into the UK, and no-one has been sent to Rwanda yet - attempted flights were cancelled due to legal rulings.

    Is this a result of the UK getting tougher on illegal immigration and asylum claims? This is all new to me, the number of non-Ukrainians seems staggering, given the war in Ukraine, and the media about it, and even some people complaining about Ireland have to look after victims of the Russian invasion.

    We don't want it to change as we have the same politicians ruining our country all over again. I am not sure how sustainable we are in the short to medium term.

    As soon as the trioke left we went back to our old ways.

    An Irish Government make a decisive decision, when is the last time you seen that. Most decisions i see are made based on EU laws and funding.

    Its an interesting question and maybe they are making decisions for the good of the people i am not aware of.

    Speaking of the US - how many refugees have they committed to taking?
