Ukrainian refugees in Ireland - Megathread

You do seem oblivious to the misused term..

The poster probably meant that they are picking up what they perceive to be a negative tone throughout the thread, or more likely, over the last page or two. But that is to be expected as the majority of posters wouldn't be praising Zelensky or Putin nor the war. It may also be worth pointing out to you that when the war is brought up on this thread, it is often pointed out that this is not the thread for that, nor for other refugees.

Most of the ire is aimed at the government and their policies regarding how they are prioritising the Ukrainian refugees well above many other things, Being too spendthrift with our money during an energy crisis, accepting and luring more refugees then we can handle among many other things. Then being defended on here purely 'just because' in most cases. Posters being met with posts deflecting, or worse - ridiculous scenarios or solutions that are suitable for one but not the other etc.

So feel free to read some posts and come to your own conclusions, that is your prerogative, when done, by all means try to contribute to the overall tone of the thread, or if not, abstain from posting here.

The government are now looking at (or actively) raising the amount per household housing refugees from €400 per month to €700. Building modular homes at a cost of €250.000 each plus €50,000 fitting them out. Spending God knows how much money on allowing 'free' parcels up to 20kg to be posted back to Ukraine. Not to mention absolute ludicrous hotel contracts.

Not one question being answered, like why are we still taking them in, where will they stay, what is our return assistance program, how will our hospitals cope etc.
