Ukrainian refugees in Ireland - Megathread

I would presume the refugees arrived with braces and didnt get them here ,.Not denying for one minute that there is inequality now between us and the refugees but I very much doubt that they flew in and got braces on the HSE

I'd genuinely like to know how in heavens name (if it's true) Ukrainian refugees are getting dental appointments. Few dentists left on the Medical card panel and it's near impossible to get an appointment as a new patient, Dentists want nothing to do with the medical card arrangement and there's not a chance in hell they are offering free treatments, especially Braces , Complicated treatments, who is paying for all these treatments and we're are these magical appointments being arranged.

There is emergency treatments for children in designated hospitals and adults in the catchment area of the Dental hospital in Dublin but none of these services include complicated treatments.

You're not getting it at all.

I'm not referring to that point , just generally as to were Ukrainian refugees are getting Dental treatments here, we're and who's paying for it , I've seen mention of it and curious particularly as I know for a fact very few dentists doing MC treatments and even if they were , only certain treatments covered, this aside it's near impossible to get an appointment as a new patient.

So not specifically referring to a specific post.

What should in an equal and fair society have happened.. they should have been given a healthcare status that was called I don’t know.. Asylum Status…or whatever a more appropriate term….

Their treatment is covered if they get in an accident, have a heart attack, stroke, cancer etc… in other words, life or death… plus all essential medications required via prescription…

anything cosmetic, orthopaedic, or quality of life enhancing treatments such as a new hip, knee replacement, cataracts, spinal fusion etc….just say nope, not covered here. Medicine such as vitamin supplements, not included too.

thats perfectly acceptable and fair to limit it as they don’t pay taxes and the country will benefit negatively financially from their stay in the state anyway. That’s before we end up chucking hundreds of millions in healthcare to them.

I agree with you about the amount of disposable income they have . Most live in hotels with three meals a day , heat , light and wifi yet still get €205 plus extra for each child . My guess is much of that is going back to Ukraine .

Alot of post on FB asking for free stuff are now being answered with links to where you can buy them .

One post asked for accommodation for a week for four people on route to Canada !! They were told to go jump !

I see a lot of people now fed up of this entitled attitude . I blame our Government for flinging everything at them and no questions asked .

We have family in our vacant home who are completely looking after their own needs , no hand out , no asking for anything . They know they have enough to live on and spend it wisely . They saved their few bob to buy a coffee machine and are so delighted to just feel safe and at peace . They are genuine refugees who need shelter until they can get back home . I have no problem at all that they are cared for and medical needs covered for now

But like more and more people I see the huge inequality between our own less well off and the refugees .

And if everyone did that sure nobody gets deported. Mad.

Are you referring to "Other" refugees 🤔 is there Ukranian refugees sleeping on camp beds with little or no privacy 🤔 I think not , perhaps very, very, very briefly last March but surely not now or have I missed something in all of the frenzied Virtue Signalling 🤔
