Ukrainian Refugees in Ireland - what you say?

Your friend maybe wants to do some research before doing hot takes like refugees == no more room

its not as though Irelands tourism industry is operating very under capacity… he’s talking about around 25,000 Ukraine refugees against a hospitality industry that more than has the space available, you’d get more people in town for Garth Brooks

It appears there is little to no allowance made for people who feel absolutely no animosity to refugees on a personal level, quite the opposite in fact, but who are nonetheless concerned about the wider implications of an unprecedented population transfer with no apparent limits.

Unprecedented?

Ireland has taken refugees before, 25k refugees is not unprecedented

Ireland has also rejected refugees before, too, like Jews who were fleeing Nazi Germany

Its good we are helping fellow Europeans fleeing a war, at least we know they are genuine unlike the other chancers who show up with made up stories.

We are a country with national debt of 237 billion as of early this year anyway….it’s costs about 6 billion a year to service that debt.

Now over a couple of months there will be tens of thousands coming here.

yesterday Helen McEntee stated.. “ there will be no cap “..

everybody practically will need and be entitled to housing, medical cards, free transport, etc.

if you have a person from the Ukraine given a medical card, they have even a minor complaint they’re going to be kicking down the door of their GP for a referral, for everything from physiotherapy to procedures… why not, it’s free…

to them it is… while taxpayers who enable the health services are going to be on chronic waiting lists for everything.

Citizens of this country have been and for decades are being thrown head first under a bus. Strap in, this is seriously going to be a rough life.

had a trip down the country booked, we had 4 rooms in a cheap hotel, and were told they were now cancelled as it became a government nominated hotel for refugees.

Couldn't care in the slightest, it's mostly women and children entering. If Ireland are going to sit on the neutral fence, it's the least we can do.

Sorry to tell you, leaving refugees aside, more world population = less for everyone. Too much pressure on all sides money/ natural resources/ food. **** getting real already look at how young people can only aspire to own a home compared to their parents. That’s the future we all face, a dog eat dog world.

This thread has nothing to do with Kabul or Afghanistan.

If Ireland needs additional resources to provide for these refugees I’m confident it can ask the international community and we will respond.

Vlad won't like it, that's all I'm sayin' Ted.

I didnt say the term is "incorrect" . Its a very ideologically biased term in how it views people. Its dehumanising, treating people as lesser and a threat. So yeah no sorry this whole "no personal animosity" claim is nonsense really when you are labelling people in such a way.

What?

Populations are composed of people. Large transfers of people create challenges that are indifferent to what the individual people are like.

That’s like calling a bombing campaign a fuel transfer. The implication you are pushing is evidently sinister in tone.

Come off it. How is what that poster said in any way "sinister in tone"? Just because they don't agree to having a refugee influx into this country with "No limits" on the size of its number? There are serious questions and concerns that need to be asked and addressed here before some inexperienced head the ball such as the likes of Minister McEntee starts coming out with non-sensical and dangerous statements like the one's she blathered out today.
