Ireland running out of accommodation for Ukrainian refugees due to surge in non-Ukrainian refugees?

Immigration officials in UK are being put under severe pressure (by politicians mostly) and are playing the Rwanda card big time to put the fear of God into illegal migrants. All this is done of course verbally, off the record etc. knowing full well that newly arrived migrants are not up to speed on the current status of the Rwanda legislation in the courts. Immigration have funds available to ''help'' those illegals who ''wish'' to move to third countries, including Ireland, to buy tickets etc. The vast majority of these migrants speak some english and no other second language, their plan from day one was to come to the UK so they learned the language, but that door is gradually being closed officially and unofficially. So Ireland is their next port of call as we speak english and provide many other financial inducements.

The UK voted to leave the EU, not take back control of their economy, commerce, or free markets but take back control of their borders, in other words to stop the continuous and ever increasing wave after wave of migrants. As they gradually tighten their grip we can expect the numbers of illegals arriving here to quadruple in the coming years. What we have seen to date is the tip of the iceberg.

Well Ireland's government strongly supports the NGO's, the NGO's bring the immigrants here. A few month's ago they brought a plane load of kids without any oversight.

If the government said to the NGO's they will cut funding if the are bringing migrants here they would stop. The government supports this.

But she's only asking for advice. She doesn't actually say she has made a decision to come to Ireland. Also, it is not official Irish government policy that the country is "full" or is no longer accepting Ukrainian refugees. We have simply asked the Ukrainian authorities to relay to potential travellers that there are very serious accommodation problems for refugees at the moment and to factor that in when making a decision.

I read online that the place in Tipperary have now defeated the Dublin property company who have pulled out of buying the 12 Holiday Cottages. The chancers thought it would be a great idea to dump 70 refugees/fake refugees and more into a small village down the country and get rewarded with huge profits from the government while sitting in Dublin and the local people would be left with all the problems. People power has won out. The people of Killarney and elsewhere know what to do...

Ireland certainly opened its heart and its doors

Puckane didn't.

Now they get to watch 12 cottages descend into further disrepair. Everyone's a winner.

I do wonder was it everyone in the village were that myopic or was it just the usual squeaky wheels.

Turning away predominately women and children fleeing war is also a burden they will have to carry as they watch the 12 empty homes continue to be unoccupied.

“It's shocking to see the amount of empty properties in towns and villages,” said Cllr Morris.

Cllr Joe Hannigan said the volume of unoccupied houses in towns and villages hit home with him while he and his team were canvassing door-to-door during the last general election. So many properties remain unoccupied, he said

Both objected to Puckane. 🤷‍♂️

We have had thousands of homeless irish people for years.

It is a shame that they have been derelict for years when they could have kept irish people off the streets.

I agree with you for once it really is a shame they have been derelict.

Well if you are going to use emotive language like "dump" you'll only perceive the negatives.

Also isn't it the large towns and cities that are acutely struggling with accommodation, schools, etc.

Again it's an emergency situation - you pick the lowest hanging fruit first, 12 homes which are in need of basic repair and could be used almost immediately will continue to be idle.

Trip advisors shows reviews and stays until this year, and they were still actively taking bookings in may.

All the one arguing, the people of puckane rightfully got their way to decide the future of their village and we will see it happen many more times across the country in coming months.
