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

Please explain how it is not. 62,000+ refugees, people that require emergency housing, children that need educating and provide healthcare to them has nothing to do with them? Ukrainian Embassy warned it's citizens coming here back in Oct 2022 that they might not get free accommodation on arrival. It's not a secret that Ireland was having issues before the influx. As for health, Ukrainian's have a lower uptake on vaccines, 20% not vaccinated against Measles. Between 2017 and 2020 40 children died from Measles there. 13 - 20% are not vaccinated against Polio, a disease that can leave people crippled and kill. In 2021, an outbreak of vaccine-associated paralytic poliovirus type 2 was confirmed in the Ukraine. They have some series disease epidemics, 4th highest rate of TB, 2020 2nd highest rate of HIV diagnosis rate in the WHO European Region. These numbers are from the Lancet and the Irish Medical Times.

Gov policy is not helping but providing for 62,000+ extra people is not leaving much in the pot to sort out our existing issues including helping our citizens pay their electricity, gas bills and help keep their heads above the water, it cannot be sustained.

Greater Manchester has the infrastructure for said population. You cant just look at land mass and population and say "sure we have loads of room" Rural Ireland has essentially no public transport, We have less hospital beds than we did in 1996. Lobbing 100,000 new people all at once creates chaos in this instance. I dont care where the people are coming from, if 100,000 of the Irish diaspora returned home all at once we would have the exact same chaos.

If 'Ireland is full', it would be no bad thing if half a million Irish people emigrated tomorrow morning - to free up pressure on housing, services and infrastructure, correct?

This despite the fact that depopulation always had a quite disastrous effect on the country and was nearly always accompanied by deep recession. One major problem with this is that the people most likely to leave are young, healthy, well educated tax payers (and that goes for most of our migrant worker population too).

We could easily fit 20 million people into this country if they could go without running water,electricity,houses education,healthcare and transport.

My mother had a neighbor lookijhng down the noses of everyone who didnt take in refugees.

She even called to my mothers door when we were in the house asking her would she apply to take a refugee.

I went out and said to my mother that she shouldnt because it will go on for a long time and any decision she makes she needs to think long and hard about an exit strategy should it go on too long. The woman at the door wasnt happy.

Anyway my mother didnt take anyone in. 2 people on the road did, including the woman who called to the door, fair play to them, but last i heard their daughter was telling my neice who she is friends with that they are at the end of their tether and it is causing rows in the house and they cant find anywhere else for the people in their house to go now. She said she doesnt know when life will be back to normal.

This is what happens when there is no exit strategy to these things.

I had a relative and his wife live in my house for nearly a year while they looked for somewhere else to live. It was supposed to be for a few days. We used to get on before that. We had to move house to get rid of them :) They and some of the family havent spoken to any of us since, because we are the bad guys for kicking them out on to the street. Having someone live in your family space is never going to be easy and if it goes on longer than a week or two it leads to bad things.

This is really starting to get messy now. On the one hand we've now got a record number of people in emergency accommodation according to this article.

On the other hand, the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission is demanding that we somehow come up with emergency accommodation for all new asylum seekers.

Quite a pickle and it'll take some serious mental gymnastics to try and argue that neither situation is linked, although you can be sure some will try.

God knows where the thousands of new Ukrainian arrivals will go now.

But you're speaking as if to try and slow down or even the stop the population from growing is a perfectly normal and natural thing for any government to do. Most countries who have strict visa systems in place such as the US and Australia are not trying to 'control' the population size but simply the type of migrant worker entering the country. Both countries have higher net immigration than Ireland, even with quite a strict visa system, a point that is completely lost on the Ireland is full guys.

Exactly.

I have a cost saving proposal for the state ... just scrap passport control at our airports and ports. Save millions on employees personnel, infrastructure, IT systems, etc. Whats the point of passport control/immigration check when anyone who rocks up without a passport is admitted.

how are there people on the streets? youre trying to tell me the hundreds of thousands of bleeding hearts, saying no amount of immigration is enough, havent throw their doors wide open to these people ?

If the **** hits the fan economically, basically if the corporation tax magic money tree of FFG starts drying up, will be fun and games then, trying to fund all of this "Money no object" ideology of theirs...

So they found a roof for the 55 homeless asylum seekers. Can kicked down the road until ... Prob Tuesday when there is 50 more
