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

Have you read boards? Of course it's populated by those few hundred far right types and reregs lol. Lets get a good laugh again at the next elections. Thankfully those types are dying off and the younger generation (who voted in favour of gay marriage and abortion) will be the dominant force going forward.

So what has that got to do with the price of turkeys.

We can all play the what if game ...

There used to be saying to describe the claptrap you are coming out with to somehow show we should have a much bigger population than we have and thus it is ok to just dump people in the thousands into the country.

People that have no means of supporting themselves and need state services to exist.

They used to say "if my aunt had balls she'd be my uncle"

Of course in the modern Western World my aunt could have balls and my mother could be my father.🙄

One thing that comes to mind and is even evident here with some posters.

For some this didn't kick off for a lot of people until the last few months, when Dublin itself started having to take in these "asylum seekers".

It has been happening to a lot of others for a few years now and a lot of people in Dublin didn't give a flying fook, being honest.

Achill, Oughterard, Rooskey, Moville, Ballinamore all much much smaller with far less services than Ballymun, East Wall, Ballyfermot.

And in the middle of nowhere with no proper transport to boot.

It was ok to dump bunches of young men in these towns and villages and when the locals complained they were labeled backwards culchie inbreds.

One could almost have a bit of schadenfreude for our Dublin cousins who thought it was a laugh when the boggers had to house these people.

But now poorer Dubs get to experience what their richer neighbours really think of them.

They are labeled illiterate criminals, backward, dole spongers, etc

Funnily enough if you are from West Africa you are likely to have had a relation in the last century, even less who owned slaves.

I wrote a post already around here actually mentioning population growth, not sure if it was in respond to you?

(Site is so shyte that you can't now search all your old posts to cross check things).

This isn't organic growth of increased birthrate, low emigration, steady immigration of skilled labour to fill labour requirements.

This is madness of just importing people with nothing to support them bar the existing taxpayers.

Yeah yeah they might be able to do manual labour sometime that Irish will not do, but then again manual labour is decreasing due to automation and will drastically drop in recessionary times.

Looney land economics.

Looney land social experimentation that has failed everywhere else.

It's your Adam Smith vision that people disagree with. We thought your views were left behind in the Galway Tent at 4am after and a gram of Coke.

The most frightening aspect of this current mess is the actual realization that the politicians that we handsomely pay much money for supposedly "leading the state" are not in any sort of control whatsoever, either that or they are stuck in the realms of idiocy that a high infants student would be be scolded for. They are not in control, you can't tell me that the current leaders who are in control of the state and its current lack of decent infrastructure, who know what is actually going on, think its a good idea to import another limitless amount of people into this defunct infrastructure situation. Somebody somewhere should have the basic cop on to scream "stop" but they don't, or won't. Nobody is that stupid, hence they have no control over what is going on. Which begs the question, if none of them have any control, then what are we paying them for? Seriously

It is quite odd. It's almost like there is no understanding of the history of the population of Ireland. The idiots that would like to take Ireland out of the EU and lower the population moving forward are just lacking in knowledge really. No desire to actually learn about the economics of the situation either. It's easier to just blame migrants and asylum seekers. Then acting like they have some top secret information that the Irish public needs to "wake up" to, lol.

Let me guess Great Replacement meets QAnon on steroids

It's been the Irish way to roll over on every EU policy area for the last 15 years for fear that attention would be drawn to Irish taxation policy if it failed to do so.

In the end, they came for it anyway.

It's also been jumping headlong into every EU policy initiative since Brexit - possibly as a consequence of numerous side deals required to keep the 26 on side on that front.

"Buried"

You asked the question and it's a good one. The line often repeated that "we have a legal and moral obligation to help desperate people" suggests that some kind of international law means Ireland cannot control it's borders.

If what was written above is true then it tantamount to deception since Ireland can legally opt out.

I mean it's beyond me why people from Georgia, Albania, Nigeria etc are entertained.

Awesome! Here's me thinking I'd have to sacrifice my Euro currency and deal with losing membership of the European Union when in fact all that is needed is a "sorry we would rather not. Thank you."

I often wonder why do so many choose a small, obscure country on the edge of Europe to come to? Not France, UK, Spain, Germany...

They just look at a map and put the finger on a depressingly dull little country.

If the government wanted to increase the population, would growth of the Irish population by Irish people not be the beat option.

Between rent and childcare fees a couple both working in a lot of cases are living paycheck to paycheck.

Is it any wonder Irish people are having less kids when it's hard to support themselves.
