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

The honesty should be respected, but it's also a clear own goal against how DP centers are being used at the minute, as they don't exist to support people who want to find work in Ireland.

Emergency legislation will be brought in . Hotels will do as they are told .

However this will just mean more asylum seekers arrive every week seeking accommodation. And the problem gets worse

Well at least the issue is being spoken about in MSM. Irish Times article on Jury's - tick, radio discussion - tick. etc.

It is subtle, but I reckon the Government are making outrageous statements like Greenie O'Gorman and climate change, you know - to rile us up into outrage. Then a few days later they say we are full, asylum seekers under IP will be on the streets.

I think the liner is turning, as always slowly but it is now.

How is capping the number of people coming into our country a far right policy?

That is widely considered a far right policy. Only very recently politicians who tried to suggest that we need to look at limits as we are at capacity were aggressively shouted down in the Dail and portrayed as racist in the media.

Compulsory Lease Orders on hotels might be next. Emergency legislation in one hour.

Such is the age of wonders that we live in, you don't need to rely on the media framing and editing of what happened last night in Fermoy. You can actually watch the whole incident yourself. Quite a few possible takes on it.

Gino is another story. Most politicians at one time or other must have dreamed of giving up on reelection and just telling their constituents what they think of them.

Gino is living that dream.

He is behaving like he's given up on getting back in. And it seems to be having a really liberating effect on him.

Given that it's Gino I'd have my doubts about whether he has received all the threats he claims.

This is the kind of success that matters to me and that I've been waiting for.

The FG Parliamentary Party meeting last Tuesday.

Calls for a tougher stance to be taken on so-called illegal immigration into the State have been heard at a meeting of Fine Gael politicians, with the issue moving to the centre of the political agenda

Carlow-Kilkenny TD John Paul Phelan - people who arrive and are suspected of having destroyed their papers en route should be “deported immediately”.

deputy leader Simon Coveney also raised concerns about migration

Limerick County TD Patrick O’Donovan - immigration had to be discussed and that Fine Gael should lead on this.

Former minister Regina Doherty, now a member of the Seanad, told colleagues that she was concerned about raising the issue of illegal migration previously, but now felt that she needed to.

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar also addressed the issue briefly. He last week told reporters that the Government was discussing “more appropriate and more robust” border controls to combat illegal immigration.

Senator Seán Kyne, who told the meeting that migration issues and controversy over the location of a direct provision centre in his constituency – which ultimately did not go ahead – was a factor in him losing his Dáil seat in 2020.

If protestors were addressing the meeting themselves they couldn't have put the points better.

-----

By the way your (quite correct) point that the protests are "disorganised / as coordinated as a crèche full of babies fumbling about the place" somewhat flies in the face of the mainstream narrative that they are expertly organised by shadowy right wing groups manipulating the misguided locals.

The other, obvious and realistic, option which has already been tried successfully in Denmark is to put time limits on the assistance available to our "refugees". 6 months or a year and then your support is cut off. This flies in the face of EU directives but it hasn't stopped Denmark.

No need to round anyone up and deport them, they deport themselves.

Emergency legislation brought in to help with an emergency caused completely by government policy.

On Monday you have Green Minister for Integration Joe O'Brien saying that we can expect at least the same number of Ukrainians as we had in 2022 and that it is our moral obligation to acommodate them and open a path to permanent citizenship.

On Wednesday we have another Green minister Roderic O'Gorman saying that Citywest is now full and closing and that future arrivals may have to make do with food vouchers and sleeping on the streets.

This is the level of ineptitude we are dealing with. One Green minister saying 70,000 more at least will come next year, a couple of days later another Green minister saying we are full. Do they not even communicate with eachother before talking to the media?

Talking about converting an old factory in Shannon.

Not fit for human habitation says the local Govt TD.

Perfect then says Roderick O'Gorman I'll pack in a couple of hundred.

Denmark is very left economically and socially.

You can hardly expect them to take a Reaganomics approach to it.

Muppets.

The Headline is "Ireland has run out of accommodation" the rest isn't really relevant.
