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

If the State attempted to return any individual to a warzone, that person could instead apply for international protection and they would most certainly win.

So instead of having temporary permission to stay here, they would then have a permanent one.

The influx is happening because weve been over generous. It's time the government put a stop to this.

Stop giving the dole. A stipend of some sort but full dole is ridiculous. I fought hard as a citizen to get it years ago and that its handed over just like that is crazy. If they wont stop it and I can see our government is prob too weak to do so then take back at source a fine big chunk for meals.

If a family or individual is asked to move on from a hotel to elsewhere there should be no such thing as no.

Better checks on entry are needed _ send back those who dont belong.

Stop hotel accomodation full stop. Tents or whatever can be used. The numbers coming are OTT as they here how generous we re being let them hear about tents.

Our country is small and we cannot afford to continue like this. Something must be done fast.

I actually am for helping Ukrainian s _ they seem like nice people_but not when we re not coping and I feel our over generous system is being abused.

Finally I too am disgusted by the comments of the Ukrainian ambassador after all weve done talk about a lack of gratitude

300 arrivals a day.

200 Ukrainians and 100 people from other countries.

Marvellous.

If what you say here is true (and I have no reason to doubt you), and we can't cap the numbers from UKR, could we do the following:

make sure our benefits/accomm are no more generous than BE/DE/FR/NL, so as to prevent excessive benefits being a "pull-factor"?

I have another, maybe stupid question. Do UKR need a passport to travel here?

I think the issue is that we have to give them access to the same things we give to the "natives".

So if we decide that 208 Euro per week is what is needed for locals for example, we can't really try to give the Ukrainians only 100 Euro. I presume we could reduce it all to 100 Euro if that was the level for everyone.

I doubt they'd need a passport. Probably need some sort of ID. I suspect Ukraine had some sort of internal national IDs

I doubt it will be tents scattered across cities.

Maybe organised facilities in army barracks that type thing?

The problem for us is that the government and some in the public went a bit berserk in their support for Ukraine in February and didn't fully see through the consequences of that support.

Some people, many on boards, even tried to portray people questioning our strategy as somehow being Pro Putin. Warped logic that seems to have eased off now that they see the sheer disaster in accommodation that is happening right now.

The government now needs to find a way to reverse on that support. The do gooders too need to climb down.

It's pretty amazing that you'd say this mockingly, when those people have ended up being completly right. If anything it's staggering that there's people out there who thought that it could go any other way.

Our open door policy will finish us if we don't rid ourselves of this plague

Wow, you equate people fleeing war with a plague.

Aren't you lovely. 😕

Just whinging and moaning about something you don't like is a waste of time.

It also has to be publicly said that if you know anything about the EU, countries regularly ignore or deviate from EU Directives if it suits their national interest.

You've nothing to add apart from insults and nonsense rubbish about Irexit which no one is talking about.

So the thread has decided that gubbermint are going to start stealing holiday homes, and now that has become a fact.

Bizarro World.
