With almost every housing estate in Dublin having an underutilised green area – could we temporarily accommodate 40 people in a small corner of each estate until this temporary refugee crises comes to an end.

Nice try 🤣
Temporary? Oh yes! temporary!
Those green areas are an amenity that people will not give up(and shouldn’t).
There’s nothing temporary about the refugee crisis regardless of what a person believes about the credibility of asylum seekers with the geopolitical environment and increasing effects of climate change this is likely the new normal and we will have to find a sustainable response and not just fire up cheap pre fabs for an undetermined number of people wherever there’s physical space.
Yeah lets remove all green spaces from Dublin…absolutely genius idea that
You’d get more support if you suggested this on golf club greens.
Outside the box thinking may be required but that? That’s a little too outside the box!
The funniest part was when you included the map of middle class area’s in South Dublin as an example.
Ah yeah, sure just stick them all in the mental hospital there. Nothing could go wrong!
They are being ideally utilised, as public spaces to be enjoyed. For children to kick a ball about, throw a ball for a dog, sit on a bench and read a book or perhaps for someone to use a spot to do laps in order to improve health and well being. These are dynamic and perfectly used green areas. Even if none of the above occurred they are perfectly useful just growing trees and being nice to look at.
What’s age do you have to be to have a reddit account?
Haha no, specially not in Dundrum.
This is some of the dumbbest shit Ive read on this sub so far
Practically its likely to be hard. You would want services to those sites so water, power, sewage.
Many estates would have originally been built to run those services underground around the estate so you’ll be digging tunnels from the greens to the nearest service access. Difficult if the services run around the inside loop of the green, almost impossible if they run round the outside loop behind the houses.
You would spend a fortune for very little benefit – better to develop new green or brownfield sites.
That’ll make the people in those estates absolutely love the refugees
Build up. Leave the green space alone
Grim
What makes me laugh is you honestly think most of these people are going home after the war ends some will but most will stay here
My kids play there. The ones across the street have goals setup.
Direct provision was introduced temporarily 20 years ago.
A yes, I can picture it now in 20-30 years where many housing estates are littered with a big ugly decaying cheaply made mess of a portacabin. Covered in graffiti and with brambles growing through it.
Shite idea OP, please don’t go into politics.
