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

Mine was an emotional rant supposedly, and then.. this ^^^ right 😅

I don’t think any degree of ‘admiration’ is being experienced but anyway… way to go with the snarky comments.

i did not mention anything about three kids… in fact I’m on record as saying that loads of seemingly single people, young and no offspring are out and about at the nearby location and facility that was housing them.

I doubt very much the government are providing childcare for their kids while they all go off and get some early evening r&r.

May I refer you to the post you wrote which I was replying to

And the Ukranian ambassador is complaining about us not having accommodation for people from her country. Clearly doesn't accept that we have our own housing crisis.

I wonder when the Ukraine has finished banning political parties it doesn't like (currently 12 of them), how many people will have had their political representation removed from them?

It would be nice if RTÉ got around to asking her about democracy in Ukraine, and refused to accept "Well we only banning them cos they like Russia"..

Ukraine is more a Tyranny then democracy and has been described as such from inside its borders and also by respected international commentators.

It received a score of 39/100 in the 2022 nations in transit report.

its regime is hostile to political activists and journalists and fails to protect from persecution and violence. More is needed in order to support to civic advocates, including LGBT+ people, human-rights defenders, citizen journalists, and religious and ethnic minorities.

Change the law. There is no room left.

No. You misunderstand. Directives are also binding on member states.

The difference between them is that a Regulation tells you how you must do something. A Directive tells you the endpoint, but does not force you to take specific steps to get there. For the Directive, you can get there how you want. But you must still get there.

For example, a hypothetical Directive might be that the State has to cut its carbon emissions by 50% by 2040. Whereas a Regulation will outline the steps that it has to implement in terms of details/logistics in order to reduce emissions.

A Regulation might say that you must take in X refugees and give them Y Euros per week. Whereas a Directive might just say that the refugees have the temporary right to live in your country and be treated equivalent to a citizen in terms of access to SW.

The Directive means that the Ukrainians can go and live in France if they want to. Unless you have reason to believe that France is preventing them from coming in and refusing entry, then they aren't doing anything in contravention

Absolutely. They'll be dictating their meal plans to you next and sleeping with your daughters.

FFS.

What a ridiculous comment made by the Ukrainian Ambassador. Her words are going to alienate more people against the Ukrainians being in Ireland. We know the Government are currently making a mess of the whole situation and again did not have a plan in place at the start as a nation we have done an awful lot for those arriving. There is also a question about a number of those who are arriving, their intentions especially those from the east of the Ukraine and who they are actually affiliated to . I would say that there are no background checks on anyone coming in, Ukrainian or otherwise and what they are bringing in as I would doubt there are any searches. The Government are stepping on the Irish people who need assistance and instead helping those coming in so they make themselves look good internationally .There needs to be a limit now on the numbers coming in as we cant cope with what we have. It may sound inconsiderate but its a reality and a reality check is what we need to do moving forward. The Government needs to stand up and be counted .

If we can't cope, then what help are we to anybody, including ourselves? Signing up to directives is all well and good, but, if the reality shows that your institutions can't cope with the real demands of the directive at hand, then when is somebody going to deal with the reality, instead of pretending all is okay? If you ran a private business in this manner it wouldn't be two seconds before the whole thing fell on top of its own arse.

It's the Billionaire class doing the outbidding. They buy them up like securities and play around with them like stonks. Don't think for half a second they aren't doing this in every market.

If you hate the idea of a Big State wait until you have to go to Amazon Basics to rent a room.

Whereas in the US every time a new federal law is passed theres a guarantee of a dozen or so state attorneys general who will sue over it.

What other EU countries offer PPSN’s on arrival, free medical cards, free accommodation, free pocket money every week etc?
