Ukrainian refugees in Ireland - Megathread

Yes plenty of genuine refugees, good luck to them abd good luck to the Ukranian army

We can take in some for sure..(50k plus now.) but

a)I dont agree with taking them in from third countries now . Stop that.

b ) they should NOT be getting more welfare than other asylum seekers . They should never get more welfare than residents who paid into the system. Thats discrimination against other genuine refugees. And its very costly, taxpayers are milked to death already.

c) its really stupid not to have a limit and controls, dumb as #$%@

d) ask them to organise their own self help , teachers, schools and medical services un Ukranian. Ukraine is not a third world country. If they are temporary why are they not continuing their schooling in the Ukranian system? (not saying to block their access to schoola but they clearly want to stick around a long time as vast majority sticking their kids into local schools)

e) If they are temporary why give them third level education? Thats expensive and lots of other asylum seekers abd foreigners and Irish dont get that!

The fact is a large number are going to be economic migrants and acting as such. If they are economic migrants I dont want to be paying for them. Get off social welfare, get taxpaying, find a place to live, and wish you the best of success. I dont like hybrid paying all their costs and them working and not paying tax.

Anyway, judging by this thread just have your cash ready and the world is your oyster in that sense.

You mean judging by the unfounded idle gossip you have posted on this thread?

That says NOTHING about her. PS its true Eastern Europeans generally struggle with smiling. Just goes with the territory over there. Irish people are extremely good communicators and outgoing compared to most of the world, just something I noticed from my extensive travels.

Irish people are great and have a made a great country (notwithstanding a few giants speed bumps here, there and everywhere).

Without Irish people there wouldn't be a hundred thousand welcomes would there?

There wouldn't be a prosperous democratic free country attractive to others to come to.

You think Ukraine would take in a million Irish if we had a war? And be so generous?

Ya really think so?

We should look after our own first. We have huge issues here, many can't find anywhere to live.

ABSOLUTELY no apologies for that...This from somebody with a huge amount of diversity in our family.

I did indeed but had to learn their ways first .For example they shake hands every time they meet you and I had to learn this ! I found it odd but then soon learned it

Wow. I did 2 weeks in Glen last summer, and it's honestly probably my favorite little place in Ireland. It's easily one of the most beautiful yet underrated areas in the whole nation. Back then I'd have described it as one of the most native places in the country, as it was almost 100% locals when I was there. It was almost like stepping into the past, and I don't say that in a negative sense, purely in the positive. It is/was the kind of place where you could lose your wallet and be you'd be nearly guaranteed to get it back eventually. It is/was probably one of the safest and friendliest places in the country.

Wow. **** those Native Americans, yeah? Wandering on our prairies, breathing our oxygen!

Tell us you don't know how regulated professions work, without telling us that you don't know how regulated professions work.

This thread was mentioned over at another, semi-related one. I popped over to see what all the fuss is about.

Hmm.

To quote another poster..

"That is the most toxic thread on this entire site. Populated by a small number of posters, who seem to post exclusively there and try to outdo each other with hearsay and anecdotes, painting Ukrainians refugees in a bad light. It's absolute cancer."

He/she is not wrong.

Lol. You do realise that your lingual eloquence is misplaced and incomprehensible to many of the contributers on this particular thread...

i never said that ‘none’ have fluency, but sure continue making stuff it really makes you sound credible btw ;) the fact is..English fluency is generally not too prevalent in the Ukraine so I’m not speculating about anything. They would need absolute fluency, not ‘ a good working knowledge of, it’s medicine. Not roofing. They will be dealing with English speaking colleagues, English speaking patients and their families… it’s a technical job whereby a misspoken word or confusion regarding terminology could have seriously negative consequences.

im very aware of the role of the medical council. Thankfully, ;)

I am the same & I agree. Maybe we could keep the Ukrainians & deport the moaners ?
