Taoiseach urges people to continue ‘warmly’ welcoming refugees to Ireland

  1. Why should I listen to people who have a stake and benefit financially from it, when it makes me and all of the Irish people suffer?

    What a dumb take. Turn off the tap!

  2. > His comments come after residents in East Wall in Dublin held a protest on Saturday over housing for refugees in the area.

    As far as I am aware, they are asylum claimants rather than refugees. If the IPO figures from October are any indicator, they are primarily Georgian, Somali, Algerian, Zimbabwean and Nigerian nationals. With the exception of Somalis, the refusal rate for these nationals is historically between 80% and 90%. With the exceptions of Somalia and Zimbabwe, all feature on EU “safe country of origin” lists, Zimbabwe’s absence is probably connected to the fact that Ireland is the only EU member state with a sizeable Zimbabwean asylum seeking population.

  3. Dumping 100’s of men into small Irish rural towns is never going to work, put up some structures to deter chancers coming so legitimate ukraine people can come. Some of these people are taking up space that ukraine people could be using

  4. Is there any limit? How many is too many? I think most people really do want to assist and help genuine asylum seekers but there should be a limit for economic migrants. It ultimately doesn’t help anyone including the countries they leave.

  5. No problem with genuine refugees, but why are we being invaded by north African and middle eastern men who aren’t escaping any war? People want answers and prior consultation before these bogus asylum seekers arrive and for how long they will be staying

  6. Before people in Ireland get sensitive about calling it an invasion I recommend you look up the definition of the word as this is exactly what it is.

    2. an unwelcome intrusion into another’s domain.

    “random drug testing of employees is an unwarranted invasion of privacy”

    Yea these people are invaders,, we don’t have resources for them and thus they are unwelcome

  7. It’s hard to warmly welcome anyone when you’re couch surfing or forced back to live with the folks.
    Where was all this innovation into sourcing housing and refurbishing buildings before the war?
