Was the government right to put no limit on the amount of Ukrainian refugees in Ireland? Read OP

Plans on becoming an immigrant whilst complaining about immigrants.

Seems legit.

You are making my point for me.

Millions of Ukrainians refugees poured into the EU in mere days.

That didn't and couldn't have happened with Syria. Again look at the map you posted.

It's geography not racism.

You know it's a simple enough concept. We are struggling to provide for our own in terms of housing. We can't provide adequate health care for our children for example. Yet we seem to want to bring in refugees who we simple cannot accommodate.

We really should be looking after our own Generation X before we agree to take in an unlimited amount of refugees.

However if you mention the above the likes of Paul Murphy will label you far right and a danger to democracy.

I can guarantee you one thing. If these Refugees were coming from Africa and not the Ukraine then attitudes would be different.

The same EU we took to court to give a private American company back 13 billion?

Forever tilting at windmills.

I'd be more inclined to believe there was no direct EU support/directive for Syrian refugees because there was thousands of returning ISIS fighters amongst them. Politicians look to 5 years down the road and if they signed off an EU order saying X amount of Syrian's have to be housed here and then some of them turn out to be extremists that knife randomers or drive trucks into crowds... How does that look for their next election?

Not the same gig with Ukraine, it's only a win/win for politicians to take refugees in.

Like Sinn Fein?

They'll suggest doubling their benefits.

As many have said if there was a party willing to grasp the immigration nettle I'd vote for them over anybody else.Im not even talking so much about the Ukrainians as although there are chancers the vast majority of them didn't plan to be in this situation.

The economic migrant issue will eventually take over from the Ukrainians and then the fun will start.

Currently there's no viable party to vote for to deal with this but either a party will form and rapidly expand or one of the main parties will shift focus.It won't happen over night,but this will absolutely come to pass.

We know why.

No, in my eyes it's like this:

Businessmen/women who lobby our politicians/political parties get cheap/cash-in-hand labor for the short term to backfill all the lost positions from people not returning to work after covid.

Politicians themselves will waffle on about how the housing crisis is now the fault of the Ukrainian's which is a nice distraction from their inaction the previous years. Keeping the rents high and housing scarce only serves them. Some are landlords and those who aren't, get lobbied by groups that own property so it's benefits them in the long run and keeps them in their power/position.

If you haven't noticed in recent times by the way, your vote counts for nothing nowadays. All elections, worldwide, are susceptible to foreign interference and have been for a while now.

I'm not for one second blaming any Ukrainian for doing what they're doing, I'm blaming me, you, every other Irish person for watching wordlessly while our Government continues to rape us.

Agree with all that. SF would be even more of a disaster, though outdoing Roderick the Gormless will require some doing. Scary thought.

Sweden has eventually copped on but too late. We do have a responsibility to take some legitimate refugees but we are being taken advantage of by our own NGO refugee industry and tens of thousands of economic migrants.

Did millions pour into that small island in a few days? no, no they didn't. This is the first time we have activated the directive.

Stop making a show of yourself.

Not really though.

There was not enough capacity in the first place once they opened it up to all ,

We've 7000 Ukrainian children In schools here not all are on school buses but we need to have about 25,000 seats to cover all those in need

This 10000%

all about getting cheap labour, getting tills of businesses ringing more often and getting the schmucks.. ie.. the rest of us to suffer and pay for it…

I'm very familiar with it I have actually read it. Have you?

We took the choice to incorporate into our laws. Denmark chose not, but still created a law to mimic it.

What's your exact problem?
