Time for a zero refugee policy? - *Read OP for mod warnings - updated 11/5/24*

What's the plan for the next 6 months, the next year?

That's exactly.what they did

It's really simple. Ireland is full. We can't take anymore. It doesn't matter who you are. You must go to another country for refuge.

Why can't the government say the blindingly obvious. Are they afraid the UN will give out to them 🙄.

I’d burn my home to the ground than be forced to give up a spare room

**** this government

Same, I didn't and dont work my ass off paying mortgage, trying to raise kids for some freeloader refugee to rock up to my gaff expecting to be housed, f*** that, I'd sell up and move to NI or Britan before I'd do that, NI only have 7000+ increase in population for over 1 million vs the **** show here.

One good reason to deny a united ireland 😀

Ah did the revenue boys not think there was 50000 houses in rack and ruin or slightly better that they could grab under the guise of getting property tax.turned out there are only 3000 or so .

this country is seriously fcuked with this government who are only interested in destroying the culture and uniqueness of us .we’re going to be a minority in our own country by 2050.god forgive them

No not afraid of the UN giving out to them, they are afraid it will effect the cushy jobs they have lined up for when the leave office. These politicians are not doing this out of the goodness of their hearts, they are being offered something for this is in return. If they did care they would have been addressing the housing situation here at home for many before doing this.

It's a bit of everything. As already pointed out Politicians are not the altruistic humanitarians they like to make themselves out to be. It's a stepping stone to something bigger. Im sure Roddy has an eye on some an NGO ceo gig or an EU position. What they don't have is listening skills especially when in office it seems to abandon them after 'what Im hearing on the doorsteps' when campaigning.

There's no beds or accommodation, but sure thats ok we'll throw you more taxpayers money. Leo is concerned. Poor Leo, does he ever get a good nights sleep with all that concern.

Decades of "shur twill be grand" wishful thinking and mismanagement finally ends in red faces all round.

Nice going.

It's never too late to do the right thing, namely admit that we can't take in any more people as we do not have the accommodation available and reduce the social welfare payments and benefits package on offer to those already here. We are discriminating against Irish citizens who are struggling with high and rising cost of living expenses whilst providing generous benefits to new arrivals who may not be making any contribution by way of income tax. Stop telling hard pressed Irish taxpayers "we must do more".

I believe the reducing the social welfare payments thing is already been looked at. Even some Ukrainian people have said they think the payments are too high.
