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

why not?

Is other parts of Dublin getting any like the richer posher areas?

I think kids and women running from the Ulkranian war far enough but all these men coming in unvetted from non war areas needs to stop

Ireland can only take so many, a cap needs to be put on and better border control

Sorry if I come across racist but we need to have a limit, we are a small Ireland country

The stories from Killarney a quite peaceful tourist town is awful, we have enough Irish scum to deal with to deal with other countries scum

Or they’re educated enough to know that the number of asylum seekers that will be entering the country this year, the majority of whom will be bogus, is putting pressure on accommodation in this country, and perhaps protesting on the streets is the only way something will be done. Because something does need to be done as it’s not sustainable nor of benefit to Ireland. Only a fool or someone with a vested interest would say otherwise.

We had 2,583 asylum applications in 2021. A mere 39% of them were accepted. A paltry sum and easily absorbed by a wealthy and underpopulated nation.

That number changed dramatically last year due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. And that has put pressure on our system.

But it's not the fault of asylum seekers. The fault lies with the Irish being seemingly unable to implement a coherent housing policy, and underfunding our services for decades.

I've said otherwise, Debs. Do you consider me a fool or do you reckon I have some weird, unexplained vested interest?

You are so utterly disingenuous. As Debs points you, you only cite numbers from 2021, a Covid-plagued year.

That's bad enough. Then you concede that the number changed in 2022 "due to the Russian invasion." Well the 13,300 asylum seekers who flooded in from places like Georgia and Somalia (the top 2 origin countries) had nothing to do with Russia. So your narrative is all wrong.

It's your prerogative to say what you want, but this kind of mendacity does little to enhance the debate.

You don't to get to swap any Irish people anywhere just because you don't like them. They are citizens of this Republic.

'But what about the poor Irish women and Children' you suddenly forget about.

Hypocrite.

You scream and shout accusations all day about others, cherrypick your facts, look at yourself.

You aren't any better than other Irish people or other posters here.

You are desperate to try and tar anybody you dont agree with with a racist label.

Sick of people like you.

He mentioned 2021 because travelling and people smuggling was severely hampered due to various covid restrictions all over the place. 🤣

This guy….

Hopefully the traitor is voted out before he can do that. Anything else I'd say would get me banned.

Best post in the last few pages and best summation of the general feeling out there. There is no plan here, nothing has been thought out, no housing, no doctors, nurses emigrating, hospitals bursting, our Green targets in serious trouble and increasing population and housing will make this worse,( this means more and more taxes and penalties on all of us to pay for increased emissions that we have no control over and haven't brought upon ourselves)..... the list goes on.

This is fed to us day after day, relentlessly, by media. Its non stop. The feeling of helplessness and lack of control among a huge cohort of people is growing and this causes anger. While the protests may be hijacked by racists like Philip Dwyer, you cannot ignore the general and growing sentiment with the vast majority of people, worries and fears about everything and this influx of men being bussed in under cover of darkness has sparked something and woken people up.

This mass and non stop migration of people from all over the world into Ireland will affect all of us. If we have children and grandchildren it increases the fear. If you don't have children you can look at the world through a different lens. We are a tiny country and we will soon be outnumbered. It certainly scares me.

Of course I don't get to swap people. Are you ok?

I'm not desperate to tar people as racists. But when a group of nationalists are screaming at vulnerable kids to **** off home, I'll say what I see. Racists.

You are correct on one point though. I do see myself as superior to this racist scum. But then they're the absolute worst people in our society.

Thanks for your contribution, eh, man in asia
