Ukrainian refugees in Ireland - Megathread

I have regularly spoken to Ukrainian "refugees" and ALL that I have spoken to have come here from safe countries

Considering commercial air travel has been suspended and the ports are blocked what do you expect?

😂

Do you always post a selfie imogi of yourself after each comment?.

How about stay in the country of Origin ie Poland, Moldova, Romania ect.

The do-gooders bringing kids in unaccounted need to stop also, along with the Muppets driving busses from the EU here. Let's call it a welfare bus, for welfare tourists.

I do say so and plenty of people would agree.

Vox populi as policy or safety of the mob at work? Neither is evidence of much ability to reflect without some form of underlying emotion, usually rage.

Media blackout alert!

Not a mention of Ukrainian refugees when speaking about housing and students, schools, healthcare etc.. The elephant in the room.

Why is there no media outlet here prepared to speak up for the (now) second class Irish Citizen? Very odd.

I think it has to be more than that. Asylum seekers and refugees are going to read their own media in their lingo, same for radio/tv I would have thought. Easy to do these days.

Anyway I fired off an email to Newstalk to see if they would discuss the issue of housing and student/other accommodation on the back of the Ukraine influx. No acknowledgment, no reply, no out of office, nothing. Too woke to be awake. I was reading an article in the IT the other day re the student accommodation crisis and NOT ONCE was the Ukraine issue mentioned. Same with a similar article as to why private landlords are leaving. Not a mention about squatting non paying tenants, oh no it was slanted towards the view that LLs are selling up to make loadsa dough from the housing price situation.

You'd be mythered with the cover up going on.

What outlet? thanks

Quelle surprise. Look who turns up with yet another wall of verbiage that nobody reads.

Well you’ve clearly read it, so the idea that nobody reads what I’ve written? Clearly that’s not true, not even speaking for yourself.

You took a cheap pot-shot at them based entirely upon the fact that they are an OAP and you believe you as a high-flying contributor to the economy are in a position to do so, so to claim that it was irrelevant is also, clearly not true.

I would hope you meant to say on the topic of arses, your attempted insult doesn’t make any sense otherwise. I could indeed refrain from excreting countless volumes of hot air from my ample behind, but while we’re not aiming at pensioners, children or Ukrainian refugees, it’s all good.

You keep missing the point that whether they are OAPs, economically active buffoons, or indeed high flying sorts like yourself, that would surely have such an intellectual poster as yourself conclude that they have an equal right to express an opinion on social policy as you do.

You’re not actually calling out anything, because this little exchange feels very much like deja vu when rather than explain what was detrimental about the policy, you took aim at the poster. It certainly explains why I, speaking only for myself, am having considerable difficulty with your attempt to portray yourself as losing out on anything, much less losing out on anything to the people whom you appear to be at pains to point out are beneath you, while bemoaning the the advocacy of detrimental social policies.

Were there to be any threat of your actually being taken seriously, then I might even express some actual concern about how your ideas would be detrimental to Irish society as a whole. For now I’ll stick to mocking your ideas mercilessly as you try to portray yourself as a victim of people who are no threat to your welfare whatsoever, nor the welfare of those people you care about.
