  1. Not being funny like but she moved there four years ago? That’s plenty of time to settle and find work.

    This is knife edge type of „write something against Israel and you’re automatically anti semite“ territory…

    Fuck this woman, the rest of us have to grind to try make it work too

    Just do what most people would do if they felt unwelcome somewhere, leave.

    They should have done a phased system. Accommodate them for a 24 month period but tell them the clock is running and that they need to prepare to move out of state accommodation from day 1.

    You have to try and set your own life up eventually. 4 years in a hotel is not an ideal way to live. How much longer would you expect to live for free in one, 6 years? 10 years?

    Curious how much this has cost like putting someone up in a private hotel for 4 years seems kinda nuts. And how you cant find your feet in 4 years is also worrying are we supposed to pick up the tab for the next fuck knows how many years?

    I supported Ukrainians coming but they have to actually contribute! This should have been withdrawn 3 years ago. We are not Europe’s welfare state.

  8. Don’t blame her for wanting more but to say she doesn’t feel welcome is taking the p*ss. A tiny bit of gratitude wouldn’t go amiss.

    Dubious framing by RTE online. The radio interviews earlier today suggested most are somewhat phegmatic about the changes and are knuckling down, working and either living in rentals or looking to because obviously they hate hotels.

    All young fit and able bodied Ukrainians should be encouraged to find work and integrate into the community. Those who are elderly should be looked after as these are the ones who lost everything to russian aggression. Homes/farms bombed, families ripped apart missing, killed or scattered across Europe.

    We wouldn’t leave our own elders on the street so we shouldn’t leave others who lost everything to a dictator.

    Oh sorry you feel that way, you*r* booked on a flight back to Ukraine, you leave tomorrow.

    *OH NO!, I FEEL WELCOME!, I FEEL WELCOME!*

  12. The sense of entitlement from some Ukrainians is outrageous. No other group of refugees has got the same level of supports they have and this lady has the audacity to say she doesn’t feel welcome anymore. Ridiculous attitude.

    The gravy chain has to end. If you don’t like it, off you go.

    As a Ukrainian, I can say that, well, she could have find a job and live a normal life like everyone else without receiving money for nothing after all these years.

    And unfortunately persons like her, ruining our reputation, which is kind of sad, because I’m still hoping to be able to visit few countries, Ireland included. And don’t want to be treated badly just because other people from my country doing some shit.

    She says theres no obvious solution but surely the obvious solution is to move somewhere in the EU thats cheaper?

  15. Ukrainian family staying in my neighbours granny flat go home for the summer

    It is better approaches in Europe, like Swiss help only the ones that were leaving in real conflict zone. Not near a border with Poland where a lot of places didn’t see war at all. Austria take of support if they own a car as it’s luxusory. Those that really run from war from Donetsk and other affected regions should got help, but those that are in Ireland just because it is welfare state and milking the system should return to their unaffected homes.

  17. I know a Ukrainian family that have found jobs, transfered themselves to proper working permits, saved for a deposit and purchased a house in South Dublin in the 4 years that this wagon has been living in a hotel at our expense.

  18. I’ve met a lot of Ukrainians through my work and most are extremely grateful and have jobs if they can. I have known some over several years now and they’ve learnt English since coming here too. Any country can have entitled people but it is by far the exception not the rule with the Ukrainians I’ve met.

    This is inflammatory, what emotion are you supposed to feel after reading the headline or article? What other natural response is there to this?

    they could be reporting on oh idk the government failures of the housing crisis but instead they’ve just inflammed tensions towards ukrainian refugees for cheap clicks

    its the same when you read articles like “trans woman sues court for not respecting pronouns” the only natural emotion towards an article like that is annoyance and disdain and that has very real consequences for safety from assault. Casually putting this out there when there is only one natural response is a dangerous game. They could have talked about the intricacies of the accomodation changes, various points of view, what this means for refugees overall, but instead the headline is “refugee doesnt like new rules as they stay in hotel”.

    its inflammatory, its riding the wave of anti migration for cheap clicks and of course we have problems in ireland but exploiting issues for views is disgusting.

    how cheaply they play with the public image of ukrainians when it causes very real violence, such as the citywest riots

    I have 2 feelings on this

    -It’s a bit of rug pull on the Ukrainians in these places by the government. They got offered accomodations fleeing a war , of course anyone would take it. Then when they arrive, figure out oh there’s a huge pre existing housing crisis and so kinda stuck often to government policies for stability. Then even if they find private stuff, Jesus Christ, so fucking awfully shit, stuff no Irish person would put up with. Saying that, yea there’s def some clueless older ones that don’t realise they need to reskill / learn English at this stage but not that many.

    -Also, at the same time , cost of living, enshitification, and seeing money go to non Irish citizen while the government does fuck all on fixing problems affecting people already here , does leave a bad taste in ones mouth. Yea we are reliant on migrants due demographics, but a good reason why people don’t have kids is because they have no stability

    She doesnt feel welcome anymore, I’d say shes just pissed off about the handy set up she had is changing.

    4 years here ,she knew this was temporary.

    Ahh lads, I’m Ukrainian myself. Moved to Ireland to start a new life 11y ago. Happy Irish citizen now loving my new homeland to the deepest blood cell of my heart. I escaped Ukraine as I couldn’t cope with mentality I saw around. Don’t get me wrong, there are lots of decent people. Extremely decent. Many dead now, unfortunately. But being post-soviet Ukrainian was like choosing the side of the evolution scale. Up or down. There was nothing in-between (you call it a middle class). And mayny, especially elder people, just can’t cope with the new world economically, mentally, logically. USSR was a cancer and curing it’s post-effect is probably even more difficult, as it takes generations

    This is insane. This lady and her family got to experience hospitality and respect unlike anywhere else; it’s a shame they can’t seem to appreciate it.

    Im sure the owner of the hotel will take her in. Being a great humanitarian and all.

  25. OddSignificance1093 on

    There was very little fact checking when they first arrived,I.e what areas of Ukraine were they from?risk evaluation etc.Done very haphazardly and only looked into when Joe Public began questioning the “perks” they were getting over Irish citizens.Online videos only started emerging of normal life in the majority of Ukraine,( ski resorts,cafes,bars,schools open as normal) a year or so after the gates were opened.a situation ripe for the cherry pickers amongst them.We’ll never know the percentage of genuine applicants for the refugee protection program here.

  26. Spiritual_Mall_3140 on

    We can only be so welcoming for so long. It’s sad to say that 4 years is a long time, but perhaps she should use her initiative.

  27. DenseResort8066 on

    I’d love to see what her living conditions were before the war. I know how harsh that sounds, but why hasn’t become self supporting in all that time?
