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

I would not call any of them journalists or

Not only that, those super sleuthing citizen journalists were able to find out top secret facts that the conspirators didn't want you to know.

Well "secret" as in publicly available, but never mind that.

Next we'll be hearing how a contract to provide meals was awarded to a large catering company rather than Mary sitting in her kitchen in Ballygobackward who can just about make her own dinner every day. I smell a rat.

Everything’s above board as always in Little old Ireland. Move along folks.

Do you support corporate welfare in the form of government contracts dished out to struggling commercial landlords?

So your "proof" of dubious legal basis is to show that you are well aware of the actual irrefutable concrete legal basis. Is the issue that the words are too big so that you can't understand them?

If my memory is correct, Ireland signed up to said Directive even though it initially did not

We have to deal with them once they are here.

You might be personally pushing for each and every refugee and asylum seeker to be given their own walk in-house but I am not. I'm have no problem seeing them accommodated in a commercial facility once it can provide basic comforts.

That's fine Timmy. There are plenty of others like you that also want, for example, the end of Direct Provision. Not to "get rid" of asylum seekers, but so that they have to be immediately given a free house and immediate access to full social welfare etc.

I don't agree with you. A commercial facility that provides the basics is enough in my book.

So you are yet another sneaky member of the "let them all in brigade" who wants to get replace all such Direct Provision measures with immediate personal housing in "the community" and full access to social welfare.

I know what you are at. Even though you might try to dress it up as something else. Given that we have to look after those people while they are processed, those are the two options - Direct Provision or "full social welfare + free houses". Given you don't want the former, you necessarily want the latter.

The Temporary Protection Directive is preferable to the alternative - which would be for them to come in under International Protection system

That said, Ukrainians could also avail of the latter as it is if they wanted to. However that would have long term implications for Ireland and short term disadvantages for them

It's an EU Directive. It was passed in 2001. You have no legal basis for your assertion that it is "dubious". In fact, Ireland actually had a derogation from it, along with the UK, but opted to voluntarily sign up to it later.

The reason for its creation was precisely in case such a scenario ever arose. Thankfully it hasn't until now.

The alternative is, anyway, to be swamped with refugees seeking International Protection. If the Temporary Directive was suddenly revoked tomorrow, every Ukrainian in Ireland still has the option to seek IP. Any other Ukrainian who could get to Ireland could also seek IP here. And they would be virtually guaranteed to get it. So you'd have swapped a temporary situation for a permanent one. That may indeed be your intention. But I prefer for them not to have permanent status here.

Just FYI for when you are posting about individuals and companies. You might think that unless you say something explicitly that you cannot get in trouble for it. But there two types of innuendo which can lead to actionable defamation claims. So you can actually be done for implying things without saying them directly.

None of my business what you do, just thought I'd let you know. It would be between you and boards.ie and whoever might take an action. Just some information for you that you can ignore or take on board. Up to you
