Ukrainian refugees in Ireland - Megathread

I must say reading the journal.ie comments are a bit of an eye-opener on the situation, between those calling anyone with even the slightest misapprehension about the influx far right, maga's and brexeteers and then those who believe these are the answer to our Labour shortages and must be "sorted and put to work asap" and then the come-one come-all crowd we will take your unvetted masses and others wanting us to take even More, comments must be censored there if one is not on message I suppose

Was that Niall Collins TD that said" "about 5.5 million people left Ukraine into Europe and we received 41k which is less than 1%".

So say its 0.8% now that's going to go up. But the thing is most of them went to local countries so if you tot up the amount that are in local countries and take that away from the rest of Europe then we are way way above average.

Both are a massive problem. And yes this “asylum” racket needs to be nipped in the bud immediately. Like what the U.K. are doing. A robust border control is essential in todays world

God bless your innocence is all ill say!

thejournal is a propaganda machine. probably has half its staff writing all the comments. everything written there has to be taken with a large grain of salt

They don’t care if Ireland can’t provide or not- they’ll still keep coming and take whatever is going. Even in a “tent” you’ll still be doing very nicely thank you with full welfare and the whole shabang laid on. They’d be crazy NOT to come here

I hate saying this and it comes across as harsh but you're an example why we should be prioritising Irish People. Hope you find a new place easy enough as it won't be easy. May involve moving to a different town, city which means uprooting children from their school and friends. This govt is more concerned with getting pats on the back from the world but are forgetting about people who pay taxes and contribute to society.

Take care Grandeeod, hope it works out again.

Cornelius might not be there but I wouldn't drive down past the army camp.

Three articles in the Irish times alone this morning, but of course Government will focus entirely on the first Pie Chart , Ireland must live up to its international obligations , which I don't believe translates into deliberately creating chaos in its own country, whilst ignoring the other poll results.

Meanwhile over at the Independent, the fluffyness and Virtue signalling continues. Houses lying empty and Ukrainians forced to sleep in Tents.

No one is being forced to do anything 🙄

And what about those Empty houses, possibly being considered for "others" in emergency Accommodation??, clearly the Indo not terribly concerned about them.

Looks like a Delightful place , I hope some landscaping will be done before Monday . Government can't have to place looking grotty for photo OP'S. I wonder will Michael Martin, Heather Humphries and Helen Mc Entee be on standby to perhaps cut a ribbon and Greet all the new residences , surely it's the least they could do .

It's mind boggling , what's going on and still Government can just use one four letter word.

STOP
