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

It's an absolute joke when you actually think about it, if current numbers continue there'll be 600+ asylum seekers sleeping rough on the streets of Dublin within 4 weeks. In the middle of Winter.

Then we'll have many hotels reverting to tourism in March. Thousands of beds gone.

I think I read that they've got plans to build a total of 800 modular homes in 2023 but that won't even accommodate a fraction of the 70k plus that came in 2022, let alone the same number we are told that will arrive in 2023.

Newstalk was actually unbelievable earlier with Kieran Cuddihy . They roll out GAA star Philly McMahon who says he’s speaking for the majority of Ballymun people when he says the people out there are now seeing through the “far right “ people who are not from the area and the same people against refugees are the very same people that are against abortion and LGBTQ so are not worried about the women of Ireland . He also says he likes to call the men getting off the buses unaccompanied instead of single as they more than likely have families at home . Some amount of horse shite spoken . Not a mention of city west .

And unfortunately what made me laugh at how outrageously blatant the whole thing was , the next segment was on how people should show better manners and he cut to people on the street giving their opinion . Shockingly the very first person asked said “ we should be more welcoming to refugees “

Absolute embarrassment

In 2007 the likes of Fine Gael's party members such as Leo Varadkar laid out in their General Election priorities and promises the implementation of "Proper Immigration and Integration Policies". They used the very same concern to gain votes, nobody called that "the rise of the right" or disgraceful? They gained an extra 19 seats. What changed since then? Why is that priority and promise that was basically an establishment and citizen priority back then, so vilified now? That's what is sad here, genuine citizens concerns being turned into SS officer's concerns. What for?

EU subservience,money, and populist grandstanding on Twitter with the end game being to move up into the real gravy train in Brussels or the speaking circuit/lobbyist set like some others before them.

Meanwhile, back on earth, seeing as it has been directly stated several times now by politicians that we are full and have no accommodation for anyone else, they should act on that fact immediately and halt all inward migration.

Don't you agree?

Or what do you propose should happen immediately given its a crisis?

they should act on that fact immediately and halt all inward migration.

Don't you agree?

No, would probably be one of the most monumental dumb policies in the past 50 years.

For obvious reasons.

Sure it'll all be grand if only those dasterdly "far right" types would stop asking awkward questions, expressing their opinions and concerns, and pointing out that the Emperor really ISN'T wearing any clothes

Don’t be surprised when a full scale tragedy occurs.

Whereas allowing a limitless number of people to walk into the country with zero accommodation, throwing a few food vouchers at them and letting them wander off into the night is a stroke of genius?

Are you going to share your alternate plan?

Hey Boggles, what did you think of Roderic O'Gorman's departments tweet earlier on? Y'know, the one where they're telling everybody thinking of coming here to literally "stay away"

Nah, I think the "far right" types ranting and raving online will rightly ignored and ridiculed.

Has anyone here actually taken any tangible steps into "taking our country back"?

Anyone?

Haven't see it. Not on twitter. That's worse than here.
