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

NGO activist, and asylum seeker, known for stoking the flames, stokes the flames. It's a wonder why a man would want to leave the great progressive rainbow nation that is South Africa. They rebelled against white rule, only to come to the West to cry about Westerners again.

Not enough people. A tiny fraction of our population gave enough of a sh*t to actually raise concerns... the rest simply shrugged their collective shoulders.

The vast majority of people who are complaining now, are only doing so because the flood waters are washing up to their door. The stench is finally reaching their nostrils and they don't like it.

You've got to be very naive not to realise that these consequences would be part and parcel of the process of dramatically enlarging the population of the island. And this is also why our politicians are not doing anything about it, THEY KNEW that all of this would happen... and they are fully committed to their plan. Disgruntled citizens and societal disharmony is all part and parcel of the process. They will hold their nose and keep going with the plan!

6 year old girl inside the place in Ballymun terrified she would be shot.

Women and children terrorised in their home.

Shameful.

Some may do but the landlords will be in for a shock if they are inspected by the council and forced to spend many thousands on upgrades. It's a huge risk to take given that you could be legally forced to do the upgrade work once you let someone move in.

Our population is not "unsustainable". 5m is actually quite small by European standards - people are speaking as if population growth in the country is some some sort of extreme and unwelcome aberration that needs to be stamped out (when any economist will tell you that population growth is normally a very healthy and encouraging sign).

I'm just wondering why the locals of east wall don't seem to care about actual murders being done to innocent people in their area when it's their own doing it. Then some men being put in an office in the area seems to spook them far more than actual women being murdered by their own. It kind of says to me that they're absolutely full of sh*t.

But we're not talking about natural organic population growth here... we're talking about an artificial (and highly aggressive) plan to enlarge our population to unsustainable levels over a relatively short period of time.

The people who thought up these hair-brained ideas, had the same outlook that you are expressing. They made some arbitrary analysis of the size of our Island and population, and looked at other nations... then came to the conclusion that our population was too small and we could easily accommodate a much larger one... and now we're in this ridiculous mess because too few people recognised the stupidity of that line of thinking!

Can I ask you, what is wrong with having a sparsely populated country? Why the need to fill up all the empty space with as many bodies as possible? To what end exactly? I'm sure there are people who enjoy the experience of living like sardines in places like Tokyo etc... but there is equally quite a lot of people who dislike it too. (not to mention all the physical and mental health problems that usually skyrocket when you squash people together in densely populated areas)

I guess I just don't get the mentality. People see a space, and feel a deep need to fill it... with very little thought for what societal implications that might bring.

Shot ? Maybe she woke up from a nightmare

The question is where to house the refugees? Do they all stay in tents? I presume they will also have issues finding a place to rent like the rest of people moving to Ireland?

They are all going to stay in holiday homes and run down houses in the west of Ireland, the hundred thousand this year will also stay in these homes, same with next year.

All will be magically fixed up for human habitation, within a short time.

In reality this time in 2024 and 2025 there will be less houses built and renovated than in 2022 and no Govt will be able to change that.

It's a jaw dropping fantasy, even before we look at infrastructure, etc etc. A radical free market experiment not seen since the 1880s in America.

I wonder are the Govt trying to leave an almighty housing crisis on the door or Sinn Féin. It's already massive but adding 300k in the next couple of years to demand with the head wind's that housing is facing, anyone ever hear of inflation or the ECB?

Within a few years we'll be looking at 200k, maybe 300k house shortfall.

When you hear people talk about solidarity etc, that is mammy and daddys pocket speaking.

Same as activists go on about violent white male incels/toxic masculinity and get very quiet when males from 'certain groups' do the violence.
