Ukrainian refugees in Ireland - Megathread

This scheme will just make it more appealing not to work. If you decide not to then you can earn 14k from the free house you get.

So not working means you can become a landlord paid for by the state, without any capital.

This is a great country if your a refugee or welfare recipient. Forgot about it if you want to work hard, thats for sucker's.

Nowhere has it been mentioned it's only open to homeowners ,so it's Open to all unless we are specifically told by the department that's not the case

This doesn't sound desperate at all.

No, this is a sign of strength. This is a sign of robust forethought. This is a sign that all is well. This is a sign to trust in the created future, beyond even next month, no less.

It'll be cargo containers next, stacked 10 a top. Then sheds. Then wardrobes. Then standing space behind the kettle. Then the arse in your trousers, how many people can you accommodate in your hole? Tax rebate of 5 euro per adult that can squeeze into your Japs eye.

Yeah, this country is going places rapidly. Lovely, can't wait to see it by Christmas.

Interesting Article on CNN

while I agree with you on the type who'd search that - no article on any news site i've seen today actually - shows that any website actually said that - there is no quoted text. seems to be like fabricated nonsense from (surprise surprise ) an NGO type campaigning office.

The media often try the trick of fabricating an issue on a few 4chan/boards/twitter comments and hype it up.

NGOs do similar.

given more ukrianian women here , it's natural there are more of them in that industry.

The "services" appear to be cam models not physical meets, so they could be anywhere and probably not even Ukrainian.

Demand - Supply.

The warning about traffickers is very real though, The Russians being the largest Trafficking Cartel so far.

I tend to agree generally but this Myth about getting fuel allowance is puzzling.

Not all people on a SW payment are entitled to FA. Those on JSB or Illness Benefit are excluded and those on JSA are not entitled to it until being on that payment for 15 months. Not all pensioner's entitled to either and this just to name a few. It's also worth pointing out illness benefit and JSB generally assessed on a person's previous earnings as in they've worked and paid contributions. Finally there's also a large cohort of people on Part time or reduced JSB/A ,required to subsidise lower or reduced incomes and a working family payment ,again because their income below a certain threshold.

Very fair point 👍

O but there is, I'm sure your capable of finding them

Let me help you .

That womans heart might have been in the right place but what she did was completely irresponsible in my opinion. Tusla were not imformed but the Council were ? So who will look after these children , who will bring them to school and who will look after their mental health . Who will feed them and cloth them and tuck them in when they cry in bed ? The hotel owner said one boy was sitting all alone at breakfast ? The hotel owner needs the rooms and she cannot keep the children there so now where will they go ?It was meant well but not fully thought out or organised for very vulnerable children

Its not true to say nowhere is safe in Ukraine, all the current fighting is in the east of the country. Efforts should have to setup safe havens in the west of the country that has seen no Russian soldiers. Its hard to believe parents would allow their children to be taken when there is the risk of unscrupulous people taking advantage of the situation to traffic children.

Russia's war in Ukraine has created an opening for exploitation of the country's estimated 100,000 orphans.

It's a chance for traffickers to slip in, find vulnerable children and snatch them up amidst the chaos. It's ugly. It's evil. And it's real.

According to World Vision, "Children are trafficked for purposes such as domestic labor, armed groups, criminal activity and even adoption." Yes, that is correct, "even adoption."

We've all seen it on our news, too—nonprofits and good-hearted people racing to take orphaned and vulnerable children quickly out of the country. 

But have we stopped to ask if this rush to act involved long-term solutions for the children’s well-being?

Were they provided proper documents so that they could return to Ukraine or be reunited with siblings? Were they given the option to be relocated to safer areas of Ukraine? What were potential unintended consequences?
