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

...

What the hell is this lad playing at? Is this the levels that these anti immigrant lads are going to these days?

Who could forsee shoving people into unsuitable accommodation would lead to these issues.

Oh yes the far right people who raise concerns about unsustainable immigration.

Harasses people?

People like yourself seem to have your own level of idealistic naivety. Where you're waiting for perfection, the perfect party to come along that ticks every box that you want, and none of the boxes that you don't want, but it won't happen. There won't ever be a party tailored for the jmayo's of the world, and you'll get absolutely nothing that you want because of your desire for purity. There's no such thing as perfection in politics, and the sooner you learn that the better.

So some fooker with covid coughing out droplets will not be lessened by a mask?

I don't want any fooking purity of anything, but that doesn't mean I want half wits who think people shouldn't bother wearing masks to protect themselves and other people from possible transmission of a virus that can infect respiratory system.

Once someone starts coming out with that shyte I and probably a lot of others immediately start thinking of half wits like Waters and Doherty or rabid Trump supporters.

And it also doesn't mean I want fookers that want to drag us back to Dev and McQuaid running the shop where we look to the Rome and the old local parish priest as to how to live our personal lives.

If we had a fooking return to centrist politics of a couple of decades ago we would be making strides.

166,000 vacant properties in Ireland currently, 2,500 in Mayo alone

The videos going around showing Ukrainians renting properties in Ireland must be alarming to people.

So the council plan on CPOing properties and then sell them on?

And all probably to house somebody that arrived in the country the other day without two cents to rub together.

So un-elected unaccountable officials get to decide whose property they confiscate.

Can't see any problem with that.🙄

Hell we can do 19th century reenactments with the local officials and police force placing new tenants into properly formerly under the control of someone else.

That’s not what the Irish Refugee Council are doing, and people in East Wall aren’t doing that either.

It IS a dog whistle when a small group of people use everything they can to make out that everyone who doesn’t share their vision for Irish society are a threat to Irish society.

Drive down any rural road in the west of Ireland and at least half the houses are 2 - 3 room cottages with no insulation, no DPC, a basic cement septic tank and limited heating. They are used as equipment / turf stores etc. by the kids who now live in the new houses built on the family land. no one would be legally allowed rent these properties but they are still used as figures in every report on empty houses. One lane I know of has 5 such houses compared to 3 relatively modern houses. These figures are only useful if they include the ages of the house.

The biggest problem is vacant properties in small towns and villages. They need to be brought up to spec, but the current owner would rather leave them empty and rot. This is why these need to be put on the market and allow someone else to bring them to standard. And if they wont, sell them on again

The Migrant Council of Ireland? Do you mean the Immigrant Council of Ireland, who haven’t expressed any particular concerns about sexual abusers among refugees, or the Irish Refugee Council, who also haven’t expressed any particular concerns about sexual abusers among refugees?

The Irish Refugee Council have expressed concerns about the conditions refugees are being accommodated in, in terms of children’s needs and their safety and, ironically enough considering what you’re asking, concerns about privacy within the accommodation they are being provided with.
