The protests are literally complaining about strange men raping the women and kids…. So the government wants to put the men into SCHOOLS. This is just going to cause chaos
There is a serious sense of desperation coming out of government circles
Maybe the politicians who rent out multiple houses should use them for housing?
People :
“There’s a lot of unrest and concern out here about the housing and refugee situation”
Government :
“Hold my beer”
Schools? I bet the idea of having a bunch of single unvetted foreign men literally residing where our children learn will go down well with parents. This is madness, pure and simple.
No way Gorman, ain’t happening, people are bloody well angry enough,but putting these people into schools ,are you off your ugly head.
Because as we all know…there is an abundance of schools that aren’t just fifty-seven ronka cabins and a planning permission sign.
Can they not turn away refugees at this point?
I don’t understand how this is managed so badly, we live on an island ffs.
Most schools around ireland are well above capacity with pupils. How on earth would there be space for people to LIVE in them
If these are the type of ridiculous solutions being put forward by the government for social problems that have been designed by this government then they need to be voted out.
Hopefully this idea is the fuse that’s needed to drag FFG through the streets and pull down the entire State.
The only solution. Cancel schooling for the rest of the 2023 school year and increase our shipments of refugees 150%
How about we start housing them in the dail?
Giving immigration-skeptical people a can of petrol to pour on the fire.
How do people think the optics of housing “a horde of fighting age males” in little Timmy’s school is going to look? It’s setting the entire situation up to get even worse.
Can they not just stop taking them in ?
This is comical
There’s loads of government buildings with offices and meeting rooms, most with canteens and tea rooms and catering companies that feed the staff.
Why not send a load of civil servants and minister advisors off to work remotely again and use those government offices around the place instead of discomoding a load of schools?
Surely there has to be some limit to the amount of refugees we can take in? Like, what is the number?
The state needs to learn how to say no
Or maybe consider that we don’t have the space to accommodate any more people
How about this: All those vacant properties held hostage by vulture funds and others? Seize them.
They’re desperate because they want to solve a social issue without working to solve social problems. It’s like trying to fix a flat tyre but refusing to put on a spare.
The government just doesn’t want to give indigenous working class Irish cheap social housing like previous generations got. It’s a stab in the back for our young.
Jesus Christ our politicians are the most useless corrupt shower of gimps. It doesn’t matter who you vote in it will never change if there’s no accountability for anything. Scandal after scandal and all we hear is “lessons must be learned”. This gombeenery will break the country.
We are at a point where, sadly, we can’t house anymore. Like it or not, there is a housing shortage. Using institutions to house refugees would require money to make them habitable. What about old convents?
I am from Armagh so please excuse me not being fully clued in here….
If you lads are struggling so badly with the refugee situation, then at what point does someone say *sorry lads but we are full to bursting?*
I dont know who many refugee’s you have, but from what I can gather its getting to the point where yiz are struggling to look after them and thats setting aside your own domestic housing issues.
Surely its time that someone told the EU, that for now yiz cant handle anymore refugees.
Could the government not just be honest and say that we don’t have the capacity or capability to take in any more refugees? Could they not just swallow their pride?
This mess will bring down the government. Send illegal immigrants back where they came from, accept Ukraine only.
That seems like a major child safeguarding issue to me
Teacher here. You’re telling me that stuff that students and myself (resources etc) own could be used and removed by people staying in the schools during school/summer etc? Who’s to say they won’t?. No. Child protection issues with our files, student work…? No. Not happening. No.
Some kids have issues with regulation in the mornings from home never mind thinking whats been going on overnight with people living in the schools.? What about summer provision? Just no. No. No. No. No.
Honestly, the more I’m here, the more I think I’m done with this country. Please help me with the needs of my students currently of which we have to fight for supports, rather than putting up non citizens in our schools and affecting our own country’s future by affecting kids education further!!
There’s a closed down school in limerick where they’re being housed already. They school had been closed for like 20 years and apparently there aren’t adequate showering facilities etc
The nursing home I used to work at closed down and moved all the residents in order to house refugees last year. I had left before that that happened but a lot of the staff were just let go. Oh and we never got our pandemic bonus .
