Ukrainian refugees in Ireland - Megathread

It was very enlightening but some took offence to some hard truths 😉

They are just not getting it, the sympathy train has left, the more they keep this up, the more foolish they look.

It's obvious the situation has gone way beyond desperatation here, they can continue to virtue signal all they like, there's no more room in the Inn, no amount of BS can change that fact.

I'd have at least liked to see some Objectivity from these NGO do gooders, a mention of the 10.5k in emergency Accommodation, the 4k already processed in DP with leave to stay, still stuck in DP because there's nowhere for them to go and perhaps address some of the outrageous Shenanigans going on, including on SM.

These NGO"s are so out of touch with public sentitment, it's actually frightening. I believe the vast majority are starting to feel ill and disgusted, not Guilty. 😉

Beggar's belief, I saw that and just ignored it , utterly bizzare .

That said , I've absolutely no doubt this Government will try to pull a stunt like that and that does seriously concern me for a host of reasons , one being Government will essentially rubber stamp financially supporting and house possibly up to 60k very long term. Not even Leo and his virtue signalling, could stomach that prospect , or could he 😳

€135 per night adds up to a phenomenal state liability. The stupidity is stultifying

If this translates for 40,000 “refugees” per year it equals just under €2 billion per annum- excluding food, extras.

That doesn’t even go to the welfare liability- as we now know very few are working as they don’t have the skills needed here. What kind of Brass idiot signed us up for this? Christ almighty

Outside of major town and cities off peak €135 is very appealing I think with guaranteed occupancy

I predicted the same happening, this was never temporary.

The Ukraine was always a poor country, forgetting about safety but the quality of life here is x500 times better to what they can attain at home. Jobs, free healthcare ,free housing virtually …this was never going to be a solution that was temporary for,a lot of them and NGOs and businesses want them here for their own selfish reasons. Country is beyond screwed.

Huge numbers of these people will be accommodated in social housing and they 100% will be skipping the queues. They won't keep them in hotels and tents, that'll only last for a while until all the "this is inhumane" crap starts or Ohhh but the family have settled here and they have friends, their kids in school and college.

Once they get setup with a home the cost of living means nothing to them. 50 quid a week rent. Take a part-time job for each parent or one in full time and one on the dole and they live better than most.

Her last comments about the Ukranians expectations being high on arriving at hotels and won't share rooms is a joke.

Fair enough if you have a family in a room you're not going to throw in some random tom, dick or harry.

But 3 single men or 3 single women refusing to share a room with 3 beds in it is a joke.

Sorry I'll take the master suite all to myself. Good day sir.

The Tent extension at the Citywest seems to be phase 4 of the government's approach, I can see this idea catching on at more discrete hotel locations, Duffys circus might even be called upon , they have fine, spacious Marquees 😏

My lord a lot of hoteliers being interviewed this morning 😳 another one on now , news at one .

Desperation setting in I sense .

My housemate's friend's hometown had around 50 Ukrainian refugees moved into a local guesthouse a few weeks ago. Apparently one of the women is earning some extra cash offering her "services" to the local bachelors in the area.

Housemate's friend was showing us the pictures of her standing on the side of the road in the nip, which are doing the rounds on social media last night.

I was telling the Polish lad I work with earlier, he said it's a common tactic they use in the Ukraine to drum up business.

Seems strange she'd do that - unless she's not the full biscuit. I'm sure it won't be long before the Gardaí are involved.

We once had a nice country, with good supports for people who needed it, and those who worked could expect to be rewarded for it with a nice, affordable standard of living.

That's all gone to shit now. In giving people from poorer countries a standard of living that they could only dream of, and receiving very little benefit from them in return, we are making the lives of Irish people and those who work worse each year that passes.

"Invite the Third World to your country - become Third World"

Yes,

Exactly.. what people have to realise is that Ireland as we’ve known it is history.

we know that too it’s not going to stop at the Ukraine.

Ireland, the EU ( which is finished btw ) where we are now seeing people advocating arrivals too from other parts of the globe, now, wtf
