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

Ukranian ambassador to Ireland lambasting Ireland for... "not doing enough"

Typical... ungrateful and shìt stirring

Right, we are, although iwas thinking of something else beginning with F

so we’ve spent and borrowed billions of euros , thrown tens of if not hundreds of thousands of our own citizens and taxpayers to the back of the Q for housing and healthcare and social welfare…

‘ we are not doing enough ‘

then Covney, paid by the Irish taxpayers to work for the Irish taxpayers.. ‘ the situation is unacceptable ‘ … says the man, now a millionaire from property and other business dealings.

Maybe the young Ukrainian men don't want to fight another man's war..?

Yeah, it's their homeland - I get that..

But realistically, both leaders are well protected, and away from the front lines(s).

You think Zelensky or Putin are in the trenches? I would suggest they are tucked up in their respective bunkers?

The harsh truth to all of this, is when they stop bombing the living shi*e out of each other, they or their next in command with come up with a peace deal, probably some multi face saving crap that will ensure neither side admits defeat blah, blah, blah....

By that time, there will be more that 100,000 dead men from both sides.

Yeah, there'll be a few nice words spoken at staged events... Maybe even a few good photo opportunities too be had.. But that's it!

Russia and the Ukraine will carry on...

The 100,000+ dead will be mere statistics for the history books...

So, maybe these young men are not running away from their responsibilities as you imply??

Maybe they choose not to be pawns in a Putin vs Joe Biden dick swinging contest??

Life is precious, you get one crack at it.... Choose life every time!

The government can agree all they like… but they are wrong and clearly don’t have the capability, capacity or stones to stand up for the people and citizens who pay their wages and whom they are supposed to be working for. :) Millionaire Mr Covney has already been found out. Won’t make a difference to his end.

The ambassador may end up getting expelled if she's not careful.

We're generous, stupid even, but we're not complete eijets that they think we are.

Neck and jockeys something springs to mind as regards this Ambassador one.

Bad for PR I’d say she’d have to really go to town on us before they’d contemplate that.

but whatever Coveney said publicly, which was ridiculous let’s face it, if he has the slightest element of cop on or the stones ( both is debatable ) either he or one of his team would be calling her up with quite a firm message of … ‘listen the state and the people of Ireland have facilitated over 50,000 of your citizens with housing, healthcare, weekly cash, public transport and various miscellaneous assistance and ultimately … SAFETY, don’t spit in our faces’…

I think you've missed the point of my post, apologies if my English wasn't clear enough.

So, what do you suggest we do when, in your opinion, the government is wrong? Drawn and quartered? Firebomb the Dail? Whinge on a Boards thread?

And, what do you say to that percentage of your countrymen who support what the Government is doing?

we have taken in more than enough of them at this stage...

I get it, sometimes it feels like government is throwing cash at people, instead of trying to actually sort out problems. At least that's how I see it here. Maybe it's simplistic view of things, but can't help myself to see it that way, the longer I live here, the more I see it that way. Don't get me wrong ladies and gentlemen, sometimes my posts can sound like I'm only criticizing Ireland or people here, but that's not the case, I can assure you of that. I'm paying taxes here as anyone else, fully employed since day one. Love Irish countryside and most of Irish people I met and keeping in touch with. Consider Ireland as my home with its ups and downs, like every other country has.

I am no human logistics expert, but bringing in people when we have nowhere to put them is a terrible idea.

And that woman should keep her gob shut.
