Up until this point, Ireland’s governmental lackies were getting a pat on their back from the likes of Joe Biden and EU leaders for “taking the lead” and allowing some 100,000 Ukrainian refugees into our country.
However, that number could be about to grow, dramatically.
Speaking on RTE radio, the Minister for Agriculture said that Ireland may be doubling the intake of our Ukrainian refugee quota.
Proportionally it is possible for Ireland to take in 200,000 refugees, Minister for Agriculture Charlie McConalogue said.
It’s understood that hotels, BnBs, guest houses, vacant homes, spare family home rooms, community centres, empty state properties, old convents and monasteries will all be used to house Ukrainian refugees.
Many people are questioning why all the above hasn’t been used to house the circa 10,000 homeless Irish people that have been sleeping rough for years.
One social media user said:
“It’s because the homeless are Irish and the EU won’t congratulate the government for looking after their own”.
