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

If you are not happy, that has nothing to do with refugees.

Why don't you find out yourself Mary and show us the numbers.

They are here mostly because their country has been invaded, their homes have been blown to bits, their loved ones have been raped, tortured and shot, missiles and rockets have hit all parts of the country, and 18% of it has been annexed by Russia.

Thanks - I stand corrected.

That figure that you have quoted doesn't include more than a thousand that arrived here while those figures were being collated that week prior to September 25.

More than 800 have arrived since then it said on the radio when they read out the figures so that would bring it close to 57 thousand like.

If it was like Poland wouldn't there be more rotation going on? They took in 1.5 million but they never had that amount at one time for a long period using up so many resources at the same time. It looks like we are stacking them. In other countries they go back or go somewhere else, and they take in others we just keep taking them in without any leaving first.

The figure of 54,771

That is PPSN numbers allocated since the start.

While PPSN allocations give the total number of arrivals from Ukraine under the Temporary Protection Directive, it is not necessarily indicative of how many persons are currently residing in Ireland as some arrivals may have subsequently left

By activity in the state, welfare, revenue etc, the exact figure is 48,888

There's a reason the hotels in Ukraine are still open and advertising rooms.

Define "safer parts of the country". The main conflict zone - the "front" - is (now) in the south and east, but practically every part of Ukraine has been hit with missiles and rockets, including central and western villages, towns and cities, and certainly including civilian targets. (This would be why Ukrainian hotels can still advertise empty rooms). 7,000,000 Ukrainians are already internally displaced.

Why are you only wondering about this now? 🤔

Hotels being used as emergency accommodation has been happening for years, even when we were bulldozing housing estates.

They tried to transition to "family hubs" which were "hated".

No idea what it has got to do with Refugees though.

Out of interest, where would you deport them to and what mechanism would you use?

If you talking about a cap, you are talking about deportation, you can't have one without the other. You are also talking about suspending other international laws.

So the question is pertinent and I will ask it again.

Where would you deport them to and what mechanism would you use?

so, a cap of a few million then to avoid deportation?

No? How about, I dunno, whatever the perceived number is today, plus 100. What do you do, for the 101st that shows up and claims asylum?

Hint: it begins, with a D....

Huh? So they live in the ports? Like a less funny version of The Terminal.

You haven't really thought this through have you, but to be fair others screaming CAP into the sky haven't either.
