Ukrainian refugees in Ireland - Megathread

There truly are some people on this thread who seem to blindly back whatever bullcrap they are told to.

This nonsense that they are all poor and unfortunates seems to be the part that makes you think you are achieving something. They themselves are saying scammer season is well and truly open.

'Jealous' - how the feck that nonsense stuck. One person says it and you all run with it repeating it. Poster used it as they were running out of any points to make. It is absolute crap to suggest jealousy is what people are annoyed about. And quite idiotic too.

So you don't include the bills we have to pay, the accommodation - multi million euro contracts to hotels, and the €200+ per person as the same money? You are going to struggle hard when you realise how many houses we have and how many are earmarked to come here. Don't even try to work out how much a week of dole is going to cost. A lot more than "an ordinary Irish persons good night out" that is for certain, or what sort of strain it is going to have on the country as a whole.

Pick up a history book, are you back with the nonsense as to "look what we did a hundred years ago and more when we were poor"? As well as doubling down on the poor unfortunate Ukrainians and telling us to hang our heads in shame.

Where were you for the homeless protests? Marching with them or doing nothing? Where are they now? Still in the same situation? Where is this magic money coming from?

Why should anyone hang their heads in shame? For standing up for our country and people?

There is so much to point out about why this is wrong and why it shouldn't continue, that to read people coming out with the same irrelevant points over and over again in it's defence just shows that they either can't justify it themselves are just warming their blessed little cockles for themselves, spouting it.

And had all the jealous people in those countries because of the free potato sacks they stole got to warm themselves with. How far do we go back in history? Where is the line? And do we just pick and choose what history to use, or are we told which situations or stories are appropriate for such moments?

Why ?

From my experience the ones staying with hosts are ones that are excelling.

Primarily because they get plugged into the hosts network, friends, families, neighbours, clubs, etc.

From that comes not just social inclusion but employment prospects.

It's absolutely priceless.
