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

During the last recession in leprechaun economics there was a point where it was stated clearly that there was enough money to pay social welfare for another 2 or 3 weeks. And that was with more and more joining the queue by the day. A lot of people.

Can you imagine when that comes around again? With the utter transparency of how things stand now?

A powder keg. A powder keg loaded with more gunpowder each and every passing day. Plain and simple.

When refugees arrive at a port of entry as of now where do they go? Will they just be roaming around in the cold?

Seems that 40 years of feckless immigration policy is coming to a head now.

We are in a crisis which is becoming a societal crisis and it's happening by the week.

Look at Termini in Rome and the surrounding areas for a glimpse of what Dublin will look like this summer.

I don't think so. There are always limits.

With more and more people ending up in hotels and on the streets (I saw that 50 homeless died over the last while), and that's with a supposedly great economy.

Add in zero prospects of employment with an economic correction, I just cannot realistically see no reaction.

Not that a recession is needed, it'll just add an extra punch to it all.

As for manifestation, who 10 years ago would have forseen an immigration crisis where they're passing them around between schools and hotels and practical famine villages for the sheer numbers, and with no hope of change on the horizon?

Just so, don't be quick to dismiss the logical reactions that can and will happen in the next 10 years.

Action finally meets reaction. How else was this to end? Don't bother asking any of the enablers of this fiasco, they never had a plan beyond counting their pennies today. Pennies, I may add, that'll be just as quickly taken from them when the bell tolls.

Well, there is literally no where for them to go now so you'd expect transit hubs like Connolly, Heuston etc to be the obvious zones where things may get real pretty quick.

10 years or so ago, equal questions as to an immigration crisis would have been similar.

"Who are these people? Where will they come from and how will they afford to get here, to the western point of the Atlantic ocean on a small island? Who will fund it, who would back it? Political suicide, surely. How many people do you think will fit into the country? How would the health system cope? Transportation, housing? Will they put them in school rooms temporarily, lol? Will they fill hotels across the country, lol? How would they get off planes and still be considered refugees, wouldn't it be easy for immigration to stop them and turn them around? People just wouldn't stand for it. That sounds like madness, lol"

What was crazy to imagine then is now reality. What is crazy to imagine now will be reality later.

Nobody can predict the nuts and bolts and details, but it's easy enough to see there there will be no continuation of this scam into the future. Reactions are, logically, coming.

Misogynism and far rightism does seem to go hand in hand...

Yeah, you get the impression that it's nearly over for the Far Right Observer crowd and they're reverting to long forgotten routines and muscle memory.

Bit like HAL singing "Daisy, Daisy"

I'd say the odds of all incoming generations of Irish people left without the proverbial pot to wee in regards housing, health, education and general mobility are going to be precisely the opposite of the select few of current generation that sold and squandered all those essentials.

Add in maturity to recognise reality, its going to make some heads spin.

Although you may be right, maybe voting on transrights will be paramount to those left living in hedges. You never know.

Looking at the thread title, "Ireland running out of accommodation", and directly stated political statements of the last few days, it is clear that we have run out of accommodation. It is a statement of fact now. Not a maybe.

The current shower are going to stand by and just let people swanny on in, hand them a few food vouchers and let them go wherever they please. What could you call that except an unadulterated hands in the air approach.

There needs to be a rapid response to this negligence now. There is no more room, fact of the matter.

Migration in just about every form needs to be frozen as of today. Policy of turn around on flights carrying unidentified people needs to be enacted today. Ukrainian refugees need to be diverted elsewhere. Its time to pass the buck back to airlines, airports, other countries, whoever. Our responsibility as a nation ends at the airports, borders and docks.

As our politicians have stated clearly, there is no more room.

Now they have to act upon that fact, today.
