Time for a zero refugee policy? - *Read OP for mod warnings and threadbans - updated 11/5/24*

Superb post, that's it in a nutshell really.

There is one fly in the ointment so to speak - Orban, he very much shortened the timeline of the war in Ukraine during the week.

The money tap has dried up for the Ukrainians.

My prediction is it ends late next Year with a defeat for them.

And then the fun starts...

We could have a perfect storm of collapsing Corporation tax revenues due to the Pharma sector contracting - Already Pfizer's share price has done a nosedive.

New flood of Ukrainians coming here due to a defeat of the Zelensky regime.

Long time lurker on this thread. I dont comment because what i read i agree with generally. But i had to stick my head above the parapet & just say that the above post is where we are at & where we are going. Unless the National party of the Irish Freedom party gets their act together & give us a realistic option voting wise , we are goosed.

So why haven't steps been taken to speed up the process?

Takes 18 months to process a claim on average, and there has been no investment in more staff or resources to reduce this.

And mine was a genuine question. It's such an easy way to tackle or at least look like they are trying to tackle the issue.

Genuinely surprised by how useless the government are on this.

They don’t want to. That’s why. If any government made up of FF/FG want to pass a law they will.

They want people coming here.

Galway says no more.

Absolute scum burning buildings down. There will probably be some people killed in a fire soon the way things are going.

That was wrong. Very bad form and I am living in west Galway. That hotel is a lovely building. By all means, set up a blockade but burning the building is pure mindless thuggery.

The fire in the travel lodge in Dublin that was set on fire wasn't due to a unsuitable building, it was due to the fsr right. The silver lining is that at least this time they didn't try burn it down with people inside it.

Like the dozen or so other fires that have taken place?

That's a lot of electrical faults in hotels that were about to be housing asylum seekers.

Far right actors have burned numerous hotels and other buildings that were going to house refugees/asylum seekers in this country in the last 4 years.

Electrical fault 🤣🤣🤣

Where's your evidence?

Where's your proof?

That building was probably a protected structure (listed building).

As nobody was hurt or injured thank God - Our beautiful built heritage is the real victim in all of this.

I wonder will there any evidence that can stand up in court? Surely it should be standard practice to discreetly install a few CCTV camera around these venues once they have been identified.

Leaving people to sleep on the streets in the middle of winter, what could go wrong?
