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

We’re talking about the poorest citizens in the country. They wouldn’t have the money for a legal challenge.
What does the constitution say? I am sure when Ireland signed up to the Geneva conventions that there’s a stipulation about refugees having no more rights than natives

I thought Ukrainians were all working ? That's what we're always being told anyway! Considering they have accommodation, bills and food all paid for they should have thousands of euro saved at this stage they can use, or did they send that all back to Ukraine?

Higher rates of Hap are available, a while back we had a place for rent and had two single men looking for it, one had just over 1000 a month, and the other lad on homeless Hap had over 1200, both were recent arrivals to the country, and working in minimum wage jobs

I think almost 50% are working, but remember a lot are women looking after small children; or the elderley.

Of course they can. They enable other roles which may generate more momey for the economy. One doesnt function without the other.

Everyone has an important role within the workforce.

Wow as in wow. What other country in the world would offer this.. both recent arrivals. **** me, I really don’t know why i’m getting up very early in the morning when you learn about this…

i don't know what to make of Cooper, stopped listening to the last word due its wokeness, but then he's like a different person on the podcast with Yates.

did he say it in a good context or in the context of it’s not enough?

It is if you have all your accommodation and meals paid for given you have paid thousands to get here from halfway across the world, what do you think we should be offering?

The discussion goes like it always goes. A waste of time.

13 empty apartments in Castlerea supposed to be occupied shortly.

Rumours there was a small protest there this evening.

Seems to point to no defenses in Kharkiv and a lot of newly formed companies earning lots of money.

If we wanted to help and still even now, getting the opposing sides to talk would have been best.

NATO gaves weapons and hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians have died in an unwinnable war. I think it's a stretch to say that is supplying a few more weapons would have made a difference.

No oversight, no responsibility, no bloody diligence - just more of the same in all things migration crisis

More millions of taxpayers money misallocated to people misrepresenting themselves (the staff in this case as opposed to the residents). Sure what’s a few million more on the bonfire?
