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

Disgusting scenes at Ballymun yesterday.

It didn’t look to me like the building was going to get attacked. All I saw was people shouting “out out out”, “house the Irish first”, etc. Someone then threw down a can of Coke from one of the hotel windows. That could’ve really injured someone.

There were also a few people of colour at the protest. If it’s was such a racist mob protesting, I would imagine they would stay well away as they wouldn’t feel safe for being attacked.

how do you know they are refugees in there ?? Other hotels have been flooded with illegal immigrants from everywhere but Ukraine.

why should the taxpayer pay for them ?

why are they only in working class areas ?

what is the plan in the long term ?

why are the people not being asked or even consulted ?

is there any policy on integration of the migrants into Irish culture ?

how will the public services cope with the influx ??

to the above poster trust me it doesn’t bode well long term. You’re likely coming from a good place but you’re not helping.

also if the gov or mainstream parties don’t talk about this sensibly and listen then you’re going to see the rise in the far right and give racists a big platform - as not doubt some will be there taking advantage of the locals justified fears and frustration.

🤣🤣🤣

This is hilarious stuff. Claims that videos of what happened in Ballymun were faked

At the end of the day it was an agressive intimidating mob. These are not in any way "peaceful" protests.

They were telling us only a few years ago, that non peaceful protests were the language of the unheard, while trying to justify political violence in other nations. Those arguments are quickly dropped though when it's a group that they oppose.

Civil disobedience in relation to climate protests = Good.

Civil disobedience in relation to citizens protests over a mass influx of people into an area. = Bad.

The hypocrisy is astounding.

Sorry what are you talking about?

Where did I claim it was fake

hypocrisy from who? if you're talking about just stop oil etc. in the uk, you think people were on their side? they are despised by nearly everyone.

Repeated screaming "get them out" at a place where the people live is agressive intimidation. You're having a laugh if you claim thats non violent and non peaceful.

Throwing stuff from a window down on to the people below would be considered aggressive too

One might say there was aggression on both sides. However, throwing missiles down on to the people below is a cowardly act.

This!!! x 1000

Not only the Ukranian debacle... For YEARS, perhaps decades, we've imported, housed, fed and financed tens of thousands of unknowns into this country! Without so much as a screening. The Aussie's in my opinion know what they're at. You visiting? You best be gone when we tell u to! U staying? Then here are a tonne of hoops to jump through and boxes to tick before u even think about coming here!

This country is losing it's identity one "refugee/immigrant" at a time... And putting their welfare in front of ours!

Its not just words though.

Its screaming those words in an agressive and intimidating way outside where people are currently living.

Its vile hatemongering agressive intimidation.

Do you excuse throwing things at citizens of a country who are providing you with free food, accommodation, healthcare, a weekly allowance? It’s not saying a lot for a caliber of some of the people who are coming here.
