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

I think this is finished now ...

🙄

I think the main point here is that the housing crisis and the refugee / asylum seeker issue are two completely different subjects - one hasn't caused the other.

If we had net immigration of zero and also zero refugees arriving, we would still have a huge housing crisis. The state failed to build anywhere near enough social housing in the last 20 years and private building was also miles short of where it should have been. We're probably talking a shortfall of hundreds of thousands of houses and apartments. But international agencies and other governments would still point out that this does not give Ireland any right to opt out of its international protection requirements. Making a total hames of your domestic policies would not give you some sort of a free pass on this - it should have been obvious to everyone in government 6, 7 or 8 years ago that there was a huge accommodation crisis coming down the tracks. Probably far more Irish people are being impacted by the government screwing up with housing, than anything to do with the numbers of migrants arriving.

Hilarious drivel. Lots of people that dont work for NGOs or charities are ok with current policy.

I give up, the idea that there’s a separate housing budget for social housing for Irish people while simultaneously providing unlimited accommodation for those arrivals turning up at Dublin airport is madness

People in this thread seem to be angry with the government admitting refugees but not with their disastrous handling of the housing crisis. I would have thought failing to provide enough houses for the population over the last 10-15 years is a far bigger crime than admitting refugees (Ukrainian or otherwise) into the country. We had huge accommodation problems in early 2022 before a single Ukrainian arrived here.

What is Sanna Marin famous for?

Private party videos

In August 2022, leaked videos of Marin partying and dancing in a private apartment in Helsinki became public, and went viral.

All she will be remembered for is private party photos 😂.

I think you'll find it was a snowflake Gammons who lost their absolute shít because she danced. Shock horror!

What exactly do you mean by" our political and media class " ? If it means that you are against democracy and against a free and open media then why not just say that.

Of course we didn't vote on current immigration policy, or the raising of the corporation tax, or countless other policies. We elected a government and opposition to discuss and debate these things. I have no idea what sort of society you wish to live in but it seems better suited to an authoritarian state.

What issues do you believe are not being discussed sufficiently either by government or media in this country? Bearing in mind that you are currently discussing some of them on social media at present.
