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

It seems to me they are concerned about potential abuse occurring in these places.

It's very serious.

’Twas a poor effort the first time mate, time to drop it now and move on.

You hardly need my permission to believe whatever, whomever, whenever you want?

Shock horror…. The pro population spiral / unlimited refugee cheerleaders, found out, again !

You are deliberately acting stupid now.

Looking for a rise perhaps. 🙄

What do you say when someone from the county council contacts you over planning, roads, etc, do you say they are public sector employees rather then county council employees?

He specifically stated ultimately CPO was an option. You left that bit out.

We all know how Ireland works, nod wink wink.

Where will all the jobs be in Mayo for all these people?

It has often been stated in the past that moving asylum seekers/refugees to rural villages and towns was a way of renewal for these places.

And at the moment it is housing asylum seekers and refugees that is of paramount importance, not the local Paddy or Mary.

The Government is set to distribute €8 million amongst NGOs and other organizations that qualify in order to help asylum seekers find housing, according to a new tender document that Gript got their hands on. Paying an NGO/'s to fulfill the objective of finding housing(not new builds or vacant homes) for 18,000 migrants across the 26 counties with our tax money I see as a massive misuse of funds here and a cute earner for the ngos

Nothings a problem when you can throw taxpayers money at it.

Honestly horrible carry on, and just kicking the problem down the road and making it worse long term

Here is the full text. Not one mention of Ukrainians or asylum seekers. It is you that has twisted the narrative to conclude this is a scheme to give free houses to refugees not a scheme to release properties that are out of use to the market.

I seen a few notices on doors in the area recently.

I have not read it in full but its something confirming from the county council that this property is unoccupied.

Something like that but I can't recall the exact words.

Does this sound like the new scheme?

The problem is that Ireland and the Irish government also has a responsibility towards their own Irish younger generation first and foremost. Helping Ukrainian refugees or any other refugees would be the 2nd task, not the first. When young Irish people go to university in Dublin, where do they get to stay and live? - if they are from the country? Not everyone fancies a 2 hour train ride one way to get to university.

The young generation of Ireland would seriously have to ask themselves whether they would be better of studying overseas or taking jobs overseas to make money and save money for a possible down payment upon their return to Ireland? - if they would return at all.

Helping refugees or not is one thing, but I strongly think that the younger generation of Ireland have to bear the brunt of the accommodation and rental crisis and NGOs with their "everyone is welcome attitude" have the upper hand.

Going to university is also an investment into the future, not only personally, but for the country of Ireland as well.

I know in my area these old rural cottages are getting bought up and renovated. This is still a very costly, complex task. There are few builders around with the experience and ability to complete such renovations to a good standard. It’s too late to look at these for the refugees as it would probably take at least a decade to get a large amount of these fixed up and of course who would pay for that.

We are throwing groups of men into unsuitable accommodation together.

They have no job prospects, most likely very little English and have nothing to do all day.

Who could forsee these type of incidents occurring, only far right loons.

Let's be glad no innocent Irish person was caught up in it this time.
