Ukrainian refugees in Ireland - Megathread

I was thinking myself, not everyone could stay long term in a place like that, the country is such a mess I would jokingly say I'd be happy on a little island far from the madness and with rubbish Internet to even follow it but I have too much Dublin in me, living in the sticks for a few years has been an adjustment as it is 😂 but yes despite boats back and forth its not a life for everyone and I would guess they are genuine or they probably would have left, a few near to us left long ago because this place was too isolated.

I feel so sad for the genuine cases, nothing that hasn't been said in here before but the majority are here for the free money, and it's a worrying time, only my daughter did TY she would be starting this college this year, she has known since she was little she wanted to be a nurse and works so hard at school to follow her career path so I'm hoping to god next year she will get a place and will have accommodation but I'm sure it will only get worse by that stage. On top of that renting from a cowboy landlord with nowhere else to move to things are not easy, we are nowhere near as bad as other people struggling but still

I have a feeling they won't be turfing the Ukrainians out for students coming back.

They might have to bring beck the online college like during lockdown. The Ukrainians will not be kicked out of those houses.

I know that students want their places back and college and accommodation booked and paid for as well. But not a hope they will be turfing Ukrainians out come September. What happens to them then? Hand them a free tent? There's no way our Irish government will make themselves look that bad to the EU. But they will 100% do it to our own and that means students getting the short end of the stick.

Good post. Totally agree.

So you're on the dole then and couldn't care what it costs our citizens? Makes sense.

Utter nonsense, spend some time actually reading posts.

As for this "Young Lad" what's he doing here did you wonder , how can you determine this "Young Lad" is employable, trustworthy based on a Vox Pop , is this "Young Lad Alone" , how did magically end up here , is he perhaps thinking ahead of obtaining a free university place and substantial grant. Your comments about the unemployed said it all for me.

Sounds to me like you were listening to fantasy fluff FM

I've two words but I'm far to polite to use .

So you dont want your fellow citizens to look after each other?

I detest people like you who think you are morally superior to others who simply have different viewpoints.

You aren't a 'better person".

You can spend your own money helping the whole world, dont ask us to pay for every problem out there. We cant and we wont.
