>“We have accommodation right across the country, but in any capital city you have to pay a higher price, I am sure it is the same here in Madrid, accommodation is available in the regions at a lower price,” he went on to say.
[He knows well rents in Madrid are barely comparable with Dublin](https://i.imgur.com/UGuLbGd.png). Dublin isn’t in the “cities are more expensive” category, it’s in the same (or worse) category for prices as the world’s most expensive global cities like London, New York, and Paris.

Hummmmmmmmmmmm.
Spaniards wooed for 1,200 hard to fill jobs of babysitting Spanish students .
BILs boss rented an apartment, flew to Spain, and recruited staff. BIL got stuck training the new people in. Everyone bar one left for better jobs in Ireland. One left to go home. Boss went back to Spain. Same thing happened, and BIL is sick of training them for nothing extra in the pocket, just an earful from the boss that work is behind. So BIL will be giving the boss a letter of resignation in his Christmas card.
>In the smoking area of Sheila’s Hostel in Cork city a group of workers from outside Ireland who work in service jobs like those advertised by EURES shared stories of being scammed on arrival, spending all their free time searching for a room to rent, and sleeping in cars and on people’s couches on the weekends that they can’t get a bed.
>One migrant worker ended up squatting in an unoccupied property at night by climbing in through an open window, while holding a full-time job.
>Another, Pablo Alias, got scammed out of €800 on arrival, having paid a deposit on a house before he arrived, not knowing that the tenants there had already been given an eviction notice.
>“I come into work so exhausted, but I need to prove that I am good and I can do this job. Sometimes it is very hard, like over the jazz festival, when the hostel owner let me sleep in the kitchen,” he said.
>“Maybe it is expensive for Cork, but it is a normal price for Paris. I was just relieved to stop doing viewings. I went to one where the guy who was showing me around started touching me in a way that was very creepy, I got out of there fast,” Theo said.
A well known homeless charity uses Spanish recruits for staff in a hostel. Some aren’t great at English and their accommodation isn’t sorted until they get to Dublin. Heard of them even being offered to stay in spare rooms within homeless hostels while they find accommodation. Absolute grim stuff. Said charity is also brutal with how they treat staff and have call centre levels of turnover.
Fuck the government
Wonderful, we’ve 1200 jobs our own dole heads are too entitled or too lazy to do and our solution is to get a load of spanish people over where we’ve no accommodation and just hope it works out.
I feel sorry for anyone swindled into coming here, the likes of SuperMacs and that fruit picking place come to mind – hopes of somewhere better than where they came from and this is what they end up with.
I think we should start spreading the message to other country subreddits in the hope of educating someone.
I had a room available to rent recently and I had a spanish girl coming over to work in a creche repeatedly message me desperate for somewhere to live.
Another dude from Spain who’s starting a new job here whose air bnb ends today and he has nowhere to go.
There’s not a hope in hell I’d voluntarily enter the rental market here if I had a choice.

Adrian Cummings being a fucking wanker as usual:
