Ukrainian refugees in Ireland - Megathread

I don't know what "Captain Philips" is referring to, unless you're talking about the film? Are you trying to suggest all Somalians are pirates, or something? Grow up, if so.

Yes, I am teaching for free. A few dozen of us are, just in my postal district alone. Classes are held midweek daytime, midweek evenings and at the weekend, in various locations. This is replicated all across Dublin, and, in fact, the country. All voluntary. Which is just one of the reasons I can take heart in the fact that the "they're all economic migrants"/"leeches"/"Ireland is full"/"they make me vomit" crowd on here are a tiny minority, compared to the vast majority of Irish people.

I dunno - maybe some of us had decent history teachers and remember when the Irish had to depend on other countries letting us in, when we emigrated for more than just economic reasons.

Yes! By George Soros! I get paid per person, so it's in my interests to have as many immigrants as possible arrive, even better if their English is terrible. I just take a photo of the room, send it on, and George personally Revoluts me the money within the hour. It's great!

What's so amusing, is all the entitled whingers on this thread complaining about refugees keeping them from affording things like housing, where the whingers should be doing volunteer work to improve their vitae and networking and who knows, maybe better job connections. But no, hang around on boards trying to create an anti-refugee echo chamber slapping each on the back before they go off and waste more time.

The refugee industry in Ireland is having stellar growth figures nowadays. Any school leavers should certainly consider it!

Fair play to George, I know he gets a lot of stick!

Wait.. It's the US. They're illegals! Build that ...hmm..

We are not a nation of immigrants. Those Irish in the past who emigrated are not the irish here today - the ireland of today is made up chiefly of those who stayed put.

As for feeling sorry for illegal irish in america - as if! They are rulebreakers, illegal immigrants, they deserve no amnesty nor special treatment. As polls here at home show, the majority in Ireland itself see the situation the same way. Little sympathy here for "undocumented irish" aka illegal immigrants to the US.

Amazing that it's safe to start up the Ukrainian soccer leagues again.

Another reason is that if they return, they have to pay 18% tax on all money they received while away from the country, whether they were handed it or earned it. Although that should be easy enough for them, as they aren't spending it.

Chickenpox can actually be lethal or cause very bad illness for children who are immuno compromised or on chemotherapy .

A convenient excuse ma lord.

Let the students back for god sake, the country is already giving you (Ukrianinans) everything else.

Don't bite the hand that feeds you, shelter's your and transports you.

Much more expensive sports matches and gigs, because you've no St John's Ambulance or Order of Malta. No kids soccer, GAA or rugby or what have you, because nobody gets paid for that. No kids' or youths' sports of any kind, come to mention it. Or scouting, or youth clubs. (So without all of those diversions... more crime?) Nobody looking after senior citizens beyond the bare minimum, loads more stray animals going feral. Homeless people going hungry. Disabled people put into homes because carers aren't caring (so more taxes for you to pay).

Jesus... what a **** horrible and bleak society you aspire to!
