Ireland running out of accommodation for Ukrainian refugees due to surge in non-Ukrainian refugees?

I love the Great Replacement theory. Thought up by white people in the US who are worried they are going to be replaced by "others".

And the thing is they know what they are talking about don't they, having Replaced the original inhabitants of N. America. Here's some population stats for white Americans (US only!!).

They sure are being replaced big time!

Of course today's white Americans include Irish, Italians, Hispanics (some of them anyway) and of course Jews along with various other groups who were all considered 'other' and undesireable at one time or another.

In reality, it is just the modern version of 1930s anti-Semitism.

don't think anyone called the locals that. people said there was an element of the rent a mob right wing folks among the locals.

The interesting thing about East Wall is that it is far more multicultural and diverse than large parts of Ireland (as is much of Dublin 1). Throughout this story, I've never got the impression there was any issue with racism in the area....all of those making noise about the subject online and on social media are almost certainly not from that part of Dublin.

Both sides are acting according to the governments and accommodation contractors wishes. Protesting outside East Wall, Fermoy etc is futile as is marches welcoming refuges. I haven't heard any of those supporting refugees commenting on the substandard accommodation they're in, the supporters are unwittingly advocating for a profit driven system that is rapidly moving towards a replication of a direct provision scenario. Nor do the East Wall etc protestors comment on the lucrative contracts handed out to known corrupt companies. Why no protests outside Aramak offices etc. This has nothing to do with the great replacement - its profit pure and simple. Why are the supporters of refugees not commenting on the clear inequity where asylum seekers are sleeping in tents with the contractor receiving 135 euros a day for providing same?

This system will continue as long as the government allows its to be so lucrative - marches for or against and all the name calling in the world from both sides masks the bigger picture and on it goes....

You've downplayed the crisis without actually making an argument to support your point. Some nations having more immigrants than us, doesn't mean that the crisis is not a crisis. You do have a point to a degree though, in that we're not at the worst point yet, that will come in the summer when hoteliers want their accommodation back, and there's thousands of our new guests needing to be homed with nowhere for them to go. Even then though, people like yourself will still be here doing what you do, trying to trivialize a massive societal issue.

Its hardly a coincidence that all of the immigrants are dumped into working class neighborhoods too; East Wall, Cookstown, inner city Dublin, City West etc. Curiously, none have ended up in the leafy environs of Ballsbridge, Ranelagh, Dalkey, Foxrock, Dun Laoghaire etc. The political elite have done a masterful job at shielding their donor pals and supporters, while eagerly indulging them with all the associated lucrative contracts. The whole thing is a scam on a grand scale.

i'd say it's just to do with the availability and price of property. i know there's a dp centre in stillorgan anyway. i kind of wish they'd open a few in leafier areas though.

Dont they?

Typical of those gobshites

It's been done for years - This shows just how easy it is to do it.

Finding some aspects of the story hard to believe. If that was their official reason of seeking asylum surely they wouldn’t be put into accommodation full of young men of the culture they are seeking asylum from. Either they are lying or someone needs to get sacked.
