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

It's one of the factors, it's not as big a factor as the increased cost of building properly but its still a factor

Uproar in a town near me. Local school has changed their admission policy so that having a sibling in the school has been moved from highest to lowest admission category. The highest category is now just living in the town which all the newly arrived refugees qualify for. Kids who live in the outlying areas and who have siblings in the school are put on waiting lists. Of course no one will go on record and say why the policy was changed.

It's the government's job to build enough housing and infrastructure to cope with a growing population (Ireland's population has been consistently growing year on year since the 1970s). Blaming housing or accommodation shortages on people themselves and saying "there are too many of them" seems a bit off.

The UK anti-immigration guys have been shouting "Britain is full" for years and yet we're hearing of literally millions of UK job vacancies and severe damage being done to their economy as there is nobody available to do the work.

Policy probably changed when they got a call from their local TD/TD’s … and the word funding was mentioned.

a lot of board of management members in schools, certainly the one I was in have ties to the political people and parties.

Natural population growth is relatively easy to predict. The birth and fertility rate remains fairly constant year-over-year. The Irish population has grown naturally by 25K to 40K annually throughout the last three decades. Certainly the government should be providing housing and infrastructure to support that growth.

Can you explain how the government should be building contingency to deal with an unexplained spike in hundreds of single men arriving into this country with spurious backstories and in some cases, destroyed documentation? Should the government throw up tower blocks to accommodate them? Shipping containers?

The fact that you posit that these people are the solution to labor shortages is laughable. I suggest you evaluate the videos of the individuals parachuted into East Wall. Are these truly the caliber of people who should be arriving here, with a severe recession looming?

Part of the government’s job is also to maintain the integrity of the borders of this country. It’s about time they executed on that responsibility, no?

In fairness, this is going to become policy soon anyway. Politicians, Parent Councils, Ombudsman for Children, etc, have all called for it a year ago

What is the actual benefit for allowing 100,000's of unskilled people into a country.

Is it just for people to work low paid jobs?

These people aren't idiots, not everyone of course but a huge cohort do and it's plain as day to see, they game the system, work on sites, deliveries, taxi's, beg in gangs, and all take cash into the claw while claiming their dole. They even send huge amounts of this money out of the country back to the homeland which has been shown in reports over the years.

Even working full time in a minimum wage job which everyone says the Irish won't do they have to be subsidised to the hilt, with housing, medical cards, extra family payments for low income, children's allowance for those that have kids, education. Everything and anything.

Somebody on minimum wage pays about 1500 in all taxes a year into the pot. Yes they pay vat on stuff like food and goods or whatever.

But then they they receive tens of thousands in state welfare subsidies which far outweigh what's going in.

So what is the actual gain for the country? I'm lost.

What gain do the government envisage for the future that I can't

Anyone know who "Gateway Integration Ltd" are running the ESB site? can't find any company information for them anywhere.

EDIT: It's ok found them, They only started trading 26 days ago, Some luck for that company landing a huge contract in less than 4 weeks.

I'd stick my house on it that the address connected to it is a Virtual Business Office. Just somewhere to register the name and if you went there you'd find nothing.

Busloads of single men from MENA and subsaharan Africa are now Ukrainian women and children.

Usual spectacularly ill-informed nonsense from that ‘contributor’..
