Ukrainian refugees in Ireland - Megathread

A “refugee” that swans back and forth to its homeland isn’t a refugees in any actual sense. The only good thing is that it shows the scam up for what it is

I know of one Romanian who is living in a 350,000 house paying 40 euro month for it

Jaysus, who is renting him a house for €40 a month?

It’s crazy. It’s like it’s been agreed among all of the MSM not to publish anything which may highlight to people what exactly is going on. Or are they scared to point out the facts out of fear of being branded xenophobic?

The lack of student accommodation has been an issue for years in fairness but to add fuel to the flames like they have is just nonsensical.

Anecdote and hearsay.

A house for €40/month? Pull the other one.

Yes, there are some decent people among ukrainians coming here, but as far as i can see, very, very far and few between.

Went to my local beach yesterday. It is normally a quiet place. there were several large groups of ukrainians doing barbecue, music blasting loudly, food and drink, rubbish left afterwards (bags with nappies, beer cans, wrappers). they loaded themselves in a Jeep with UA plates. When they were leaving, a woman politely pointed out that the bins are in the car park and they should take the rubbish there, they pretended they didn't understand her and then just laughed.

So what you're saying is these alleged Ukrainians (you presumably walked up to each group to listen to their conversations, to determine they were in fact Ukrainian. You'd need to that to hear them over the music blasting loudly!) - but they behave exactly the same as Irish people? 10 tonnes of litter removed from one beach a couple of weeks ago. So it's not just the Ukrainians littering, by a long shot. Maybe these alleged Ukrainians saw what the beach was like when they arrived and just decided to follow local customs...

ah, smarty pants here, i see ))

What's your point? You want to encourage bad patterns? Just because "some locals do it", it's ok for everyone? Get lost.

People come here on full board, free and ready handed to them. and they have no respect for the environment, they show no intentions to work here, they do not bring anything to the local community, half the time (if not all the time) they lie and bull***t their ways (the local group was saying they were from Bucha only after while it turned out they were from completely different places. When asked why they lied about it, the answer was along the lines: well, everyone knows here about Bucha from the news, so we thought people would be more helpful if they thought we were from there... - like, why, oh why would you lie about things like that?... "More helpful"? how much more helpful? local community provided them with everything, literally everything, from, accommodation, school places to food, clothes, money, entertainment!)

Get lost? Get over yourself.

You honestly expect us to believe you wandered around a beach, walking up to various groups of people to find out where they were from. You're either lying, or you're a little bit touched.

Who has no intentions to work here? Most of the Ukrainians I've met are working - chefs, kitchen porters, and cleaning jobs, mostly, if their English isn't strong enough for customer-facing roles. But you just come on here spouting anti-Ukrainian rhetoric and expect to not be called on it.

It’s language used to paint the Irish as undeserving sinners and the “poor” Ukrainians as martyrs

Ha ha you’re not serious? Must be a right few Bob in it for another government crony so

You are completely illogical. A person in a council house isn’t here because of a war begging for refuge because their life is in danger. Then proceed to not work and use their social welfare and zero bills to go travelling back home and on holidays all over Europe. This was is the best thing ever to happen the Ukranians. They are after getting EU citizenship through the back door and are getting treated better than Irish citizens in the process. The treatment they deserve is the same given to the Syrians where 100’s of thousands of people have died in the last few years. Take in a few thousand max which will be as much as our resources can afford. Not this free for all that they are taking full advantage of.

Looks like it is making more sense now as to why they are letting so many in.. The Developers get to sit on their pockets of land with all of the full planning and keep Schtum, while the government get to fast track more areas for developments for their buddies. The last fast track ended during the year and the developers didn't have enough time to scoop up as much prime land as they hoped.

As mentioned MaryAnne - They featured in "The News" - And many more.

The vast majority are living in the same 'real world' that you claim to inhabit. I have a very positive outlook on life, but I also have a realistic one, and I (as many others) are very much aware of who is to blame.

They also know that if they want to continue to have a positive outlook in life, they need to stop this insanity. Taking in way more refugees than we can handle and throwing money at them. Either we have been paying way too much tax for all these years filling the war chest, or the idiots in charge are borrowing too much.

Either way it needs to stop. We currently have almost 2% of all Ukrainian Refugees in the EU and rising. Even if we stopped taking them in for the next week that number would rise. It makes zero sense, but FFG are trying to convince us that it needs to be done.

I doubt anyone gives two sh*ts about the people you know getting a cheaper house. They are far more concerned about the lack of availability of houses for themselves, their children or friends and relatives, while the Government make all sorts of stupid promises to sort out another country in the farthest parts of Europe. One may I add that is not even in the EU. They are now tripping over themselves trying to accommodate a dwindling minority so they can accommodate more. It makes no sense other than there is something in it for the government and their cronies.
