Ukrainian refugees in Ireland - Megathread

NO, online signing is being offered in selective cases for those on Jobseekers payments and with a verified mywelfare account.

SWA, which I believe is being given to Ukrainan refugees is somewhat different.

DSP have actually suspended monthly signing on at Intero centres in many cases but regardless, PO collection and signing for of SWA payments is required weekly.

All very quite re gormanstown, somewhat of media blackout. This is the most recent update from Government press office RTE

Churches would be a good idea but a lot of the religious flock also tend to be far right in their views and ironicly also very intolerant.

No great problem - tented communities are the way to go. Offers the basics of shelter & food without any great luxury.

Are you adding that to your list of scaremongering?

"Jet setting wealthy Ukrainian paedos travel back and forth from magically 100% safe pockets of Ukraine to Ireland with their fancy cars for free super-dole, unlimited bus-stop-buggies, free houses, and free luxury cruises"

The minute the Government opened the doors to Ukrainian refugees the plans should have been put in place

Just like for Covid we needed a task force with experts to put plans forward and get them done . Almost overnight we had vaccine centres up and running very efficiently because somehow the right people got it done .

We dont need inexperienced NGO’s fusterring around for months with pledged houses . We need experienced people , business people , who get things done . One of the biggest failings in all this fiasco was the dreadful management of the thousands of pledged room and homes . Some still waiting since March to fill perfectly good granny flats and houses . Yet we have elderly and kids with special needs in tents and sports halls

This should have been done efficiently. Young able bodied women and men in tents , elderly in hotels , young babies and kids with special needs in rooms etc etc

DT and you so Knowledable, I must be doing something right then and this since change over 😳, surely I'm deserving of a Prize, who do I call about this 🤔

😂😂😂 Coming from the master of deflection and discourse, that's extraordinary DT

Choose to Quote a post from me to another poster, put it out of context, of course I'll duly respond.

Speaking of the Thread, anything, helpful, useful, coherent to add or is it going to be another day of sillyness 🤔

I'm heading out so just wanted you to know, I'm not ignoring you, will check back in later to see how your getting on.

What's wrong with not giving a sh1t about some stranger?

I don't care if shes 16 or 60, she has no bearing on my life other then to put more strain on my Government which will ultimately mean more tax and less wages for me so why would anybody give a f^ck? Call me an unsympathetic psycho if you like but the truth is, Irish people have had enough of everybody else being looked after first.

It's unfortunate but I don't see people getting up in arms over the hundreds of Syrians, Uyghur Chinese, etc. etc. being slaughtered weekly so drop the whole ''it's cause I care'' act. You only think you care because social media is telling you that you should care.

Your inability to read posts is what is quite entertaining. I'm happy for you to you to point out where you saw me post that "Irish people should care more about people we don't know than themselves and their own families".

It is an impressive extrapolation from a point of view that it was better we let in a little kid and save her from potential exploitation rather than condemn her to a (probably short) life of it elsewhere.

cool story bro needs more dragons

Well apart from coming on here " to have a laugh " which in itself is a little sad, your only other purpose here is to declare that you " don't give a **** about strangers ". Well done.
