Ukrainian refugees in Ireland - Megathread

As I said Kaiser, don't request information and then proceed to throw your toys out of the pram when it is provided to you. Simple solution.

All I did was answer your request

Yes. Were you not aware that we are not allowed to place limits on people from Ukraine as long as they have temporary protection status in the EU?

It’s hilarious bordering on tragic that this idiotic government is begging private citizens now to mop up a disaster entirely of their own making- you’d want to be off your fcukin trolley to let any of these into your property. People mean well but I’d strongly advise anyone against it

You are looking at statistics relating to how many Ukrainians have ended up where and reaching your own invalid conclusion that that is a result of that country somehow explicitly restricting their arrival.

Ireland still hasn't taken its own fair share pro-rata

The rate of dole is what is given to other people here. If you want to argue that that is too high for everyone then that is a different conversation.

They are also allowed to work here. If they work, they won't get the dole.

Let's flip your argument and ask why, given benefits in Ireland are so superlative, that we don't yet have our pro-rata fair share of Ukrainian refugees here? We keep getting told about these Telegram groups with a million billion Ukranians posting about all the free money in Ireland. Why don't we have even more here yet?

Fully agree. You'll end up with a babushka, gopniks, or a pair of dykes out back drinking Vodka in the sunshine, sure you're getting a measly 400 per month you can well afford to cook their food 🤪😂.

Why are you inventing punishments? Where did you get any idea that there would be punishments against France because not so many Ukrainians decided to move there yet?

What you can do, if you are interested, is go and research French social welfare payments to non-Ukrainians and then compare and contrast those with what is being allocated for Ukrainians. Instead of just deciding in your own head that they are not "offering full dole"

You’re the one who said we have to take unlimited numbers of Ukrainians so does that not suggest there will be some sanction/punishment if we say we can’t take any more ? I just pointed out that France among other countries take fewer as well as less benefits

From some of the stories I’ve heard it seems to be a takeover your property scam while they flit back and forth for holidays in the “devastated war zone”. You really couldn’t make up this bullshite if you tried

They are actively advertising Ukraine IPTV on all of their groups, and charging €20 for it, so at least we know where some of our taxes are going out of their dole.

I don’t think France etc are it’s just the benefits and handout package is vastly superior over here on banana republic. Far as I can make out other European countries are offering the bare minimum bed and board. Here they’re handed “entitlements” leaving them with more disposable income than most of the local working taxpaying fools.

It means we have to subsidize a lot of single mothers too. Thats the reality. Nothing against single mothers either.

To me the problem isnt the jobs or working so much as that there is no accomodation left on this island and public services are already super stretched.

Cos they cant work if they are looking after their kids.

It aint difficult to understand.
