Ukrainian refugees in Ireland - Megathread

That is exactly what has turned me against them. Last week I posted about a conversation I had with a guy who was complaining about being stuck in Bunratty when he wanted to live in Dublin. Tell that to thousands of Irish people who left the Dublin the last few years due to the spiralling housing costs. The absolute brazeness and sense of entitlement he had was actually disgusting. They have been treated better here than anywhere else in the world but every day there are sob stories in the paper from them.

The conversations on their forums giving people advice about coming here boils my piss. Some Ukrainians ask about the housing crisis here and will they get accommodation. The answer they get is worst case scenario you spend a few nights in the Aviva or a tent before you get comfortable accommodation. They should all be put in tents, given food and €40 a week allowance.

An old neighbour of mine has been emailing trying to contact Td's and getting no response, her son refuses to defer college for a year and is going to sleep in his car during college time. She's worried for his safety but he's determined. No chance of accommodation because it's already full up. Yes previous years there was fierce competition for the housing but at least they had a good chance

If he was that bothered what was he doing here in the first place?

The more I hear the more I oppose their EU membership- would be a complete and utter shiteshow for a country like Ireland

I'm sorry but no chance of that. As you can see from this translation. They were in France and came Ireland to receive payments with NO QUESTIONS ASKED. This country is literally an open door for welfare tourism now. Even She is surprised she could go here and get payments no with repercussions ffs. Don't forget it's not just UAs coming, it's every other chancer on the band wagon also. It's a free for all.

Still there's lads here celebrating Irish rural towns where the natives are now out unumbered and trying to **** on any Irish people asking questions about this nonsense. Country has been hijacked by anti-irish traitors posing as politicans as well.

I'm done on this thread now. Provided plenty of evidence of this scam invasion of Ireland. Soon it will be RIP to Ireland and particularly it's people, it's just another global **** hole now. You'll find 5 million population will be swallowed up very quickly if this open border continues. Then we will see who has the last laugh. Glory to Ukraine 🇺🇦.

The reality is, the Ireland we have known is probably not returning.

life is about to get a tonne more competitive, a tonne more unfair, a tonne more violent ( no prison places ) nefarious and probably in time this country will be nowhere people will want to come as tourists even.

our wellbeing, that of our future generations is being sold down the river.

the future history books won’t mention it,, for obvious reasons, look who will be reading them.

For whom the hangman’s rope was spun, 

And what, God help us, could they save? 

Romantic Ireland’s dead and gone, 

It’s with O’Leary in the grave. 

Was it for this the wild geese spread 

The grey wing upon every tide; 

For this that all that blood was shed, 

For this Edward Fitzgerald died, 

And Robert Emmet and Wolfe Tone, 

All that delirium of the brave? 

Romantic Ireland’s dead and gone, 

It’s with O’Leary in the grave.

I really do hope you are right. I have zero faith in this government unfortunately. Ask the people of Sweden how their open borders policy worked out a few years back. Ireland seems hell bent on making the same mistake.

I'm sorry I'm multi posting today and this picture is a disaster but more chancers jumping on the government gravy train. The article continues that these are illegal works without planning, disturbing residents because their homes have been turned into a construction site, and the basement is used for the wheelie bins so where are they putting these people? I literally just stood in the shop and read this I don't have the paper to hand but this must be online somewhere 😁

Also same as all other media, says home 'may be used for refugees'. Apparently saying the words 'used for Ukrainian refugees' is a dirty word.

And gosh sorry meant to say, it is Donegal news, my photo seems cut off as well as looking rubbish 😂

Well I'm not sure I'm here to discuss my finances but by the time I pay my rent/bills/food I have very little left, I try and keep money in savings god forbid kids need a doctor visit or something. sweet treats are a luxury that has been cut out and 2 quid on a paper would be better spent on a bag of sweets or something.. Call me pathetic and broke but meh.. I spent money in the local shop on groceries anyway so not sure I get your point 🤷‍♀️

i don’t know if this was posted elsewhere, but Bank of Ireland ..

”We are refunding Bank of Ireland charges for customers sending money to family, friends or colleagues in Ukraine, backdated to 24 February. In conjunction with other European banks, we are also refunding Bank of Ireland charges for customers sending money to family, friends or colleagues in Moldova”

so lifelong customers whom a family member is one, about 55 years banking with them…. Doesn’t have any connections to people in the Ukraine, can look forward to more fees, 18 euros a quarter to ‘maintain’ a personal current account …

They also have teams assisting Ukrainians set up accounts here.
