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

You are right, very few will likely vote solely on immigration. Most peoples might be concerned about immigration, but they are also concerned on health, housing, education, jobs etc

Very few in this country vote solely on one issue, except maybe housing and even then id be skeptical. A mainstream party who was honest on immigration would see an increase in vote in my opinion. Weve seen Aontus share of pollls increase by questioning the mainstream, and interesting to see if it converts to seats.

The National Party won't get votes in this country as they aren't seen as acceptable, and because they are dreadful, with zero actual policies around economics, education etc.

So according to your logic every BLM and climate protest we seen recently was not peaceful and comprised of aggressive intimidating mob.

Glad you started to see the light.

I do not think you are right. It is pressure on system which grow rapidly and something has to give up. Most of the people have nothing against immigrants who come here to work and live to improve their life even if they are economic migrants.

Problem is that a lot of things changed and to the worse as it seems. If I go by what I seen since I came here then I have to pay 3x the rent which I paid 20 years ago. 2-3x more for fuel, energy, groceries and pretty much everything while income is only marginally higher.

To pretend that nothing is happening and keep this wide open door policy is insane.

The rise of the nazis occurred in the 'real world', did they not?

'lol' indeed...

If I go by what I seen since I came here…

Irish society hasn’t actually changed all that much. I’m not sure when you actually came here, but going back as far as Ireland in the 1960’s, Ballymun for example wasn’t any different then than it is now, nor was most of Irish society. This is well worth a watch to give you some idea -

Housing Conditions Critical in Dublin 1966

Same group of people experiencing the same conditions, no different then than conditions are now. It’s just that people’s expectations rose as their standards of living increased, and naturally enough as one would expect - as standards of living increase, so too does the cost of living to match it. No shortage of people swanning about with €1,500 iPhones for example. Certainly they weren’t a common sight 20 years ago when they cost about the same.

There’s no wide open door policy, and providing for refugees is already budgeted for, so it’s not as though the funding is being taken from other services, it was never spent on those services in the first place. That’s why we are now where we are, and in 20 years time again it’ll be someone else telling me when they came here that everything was “3x less than it costs now”, and the open door policy is madness.

🤣

You clearly didnt read any of the context of my posts at all.

🤣🤣🤣

I know right. I noticed that constant rabbiting on a TV poll.

Who is arguing anyone should be happy about it? Personally I couldn’t give a flying fcuk, I suspect that’s not an uncommon attitude towards your ideas of how you think public money should be used, but when Governments are able to give €30M that they didn’t have to, to a toll road company as compensation for the loss of revenue, then that’s bound to raise a few eyebrows among the Public Accounts Committee -

Provisions for refugees? Not so much.

This is nonsense for example if 3 billion of taxpayers money is earmarked just to provide for Ukranians then thats 3 billion that could gone towards housing, education,health etc.

That's not how a budget works, education, health, etc. Is core funding.

Things like the Ukrainian crisis, Covid, Brexit, etc is non core funding.

There is funds from EU that we have drawn from for all 3, technically it's an accountancy trick with numbers being moved around.

Pat Kenny just after pulling apart Nick Henderson of the Irish refugee Council. Poor old Nick didn't know what to say at the end of it, he was all over the place. He's so used to getting a soft touch from the Irish media that he was totally unprepared (and probably not capable enough either) for any sort of questioning on who's coming into Ireland, why they really are doing so and how are we going to accommodate them.

That's the thing, their whole ideology is totally reliant on a compliant media class. Once any hard questions are asked at all, it all falls apart, because it's legitimately indefensible. The media have brought us into this mess as much as any other group, as for years and years they nodded their heads, instead of doing what they should be doing, asking questions.

Chambers started off as a fairly bright prospect and the people of Mayo and Castlebar in particular had high hopes for her.She was doing particularly well in the early days of Brexit and was destined to be a big player and fresh new voice in FF.

The Dail voting scandal wasn't the end of her but more the way she squirmed and lied about it,kept digging a hole and made an eejit out of herself.She was swiftly given a kick up the @rse from the voting public in Mayo when she wasnt voted in in the next election.MM still had high hopes for her and snuck her into the Seanad to serve her penance.

She has no idea what's happening on the ground in her home town (where she doesn't live anymore) with the rising resentment at what was done to nearby village Breaffy (population 1000) now 1750 with Ukrainians and refugees.Important to note here that locals were happy to welcome and do their bit for Ukrainian refugees and the local hotel was given over. The local school is over capacity now and you can't get in to see a doctor but these are emergency times.What the local population are up in arms about is a sports hall beside the hotel covertly being turned into a DP centre for 250 people and migrants being bussed in there under cover of darkness with zero local consultation.It took nearly a month for authorities to even admit and acknowledge that this had happened. The contempt shown magnified the anger big time.

There is serious anger on the ground about this,Lisa is going to get yet another land at the next election and that'll be her nearly a decade not being a TD and she'll only be about 40 then.Thats some fall from grace and very badly played hand by her.

This is what this sort of fulmination sounds like to the political establishment

Any suggestion as to who these new super-articulate leaders might be, when they are likely to step forward?
