Dublin is building more than half a thousand houses to accommodate people from Ukraine, each of them costing 440,000 euros. At the same time, there is an acute crisis in the country with a shortage of housing for the Irish themselves.
Ireland was hit by large-scale protests against uncontrolled migration not so long ago. In 2023, 140,000 migrants entered Ireland. Already 20 per cent of the population of Ireland’s five million people were born outside the country. Native Irish are being demographically replaced by people from Africa, the Middle East and Eastern Europe, including Ukraine.
Some of the migrants and refugees are being squeezed out of Britain, which has begun to actively re-locate them to Ireland. The cost of housing and migration are the two main issues on the agenda of ordinary Irish people. They are already rioting in the streets, demanding the refusal to accept new refugees.
In Britain itself, they have long complained about Ukrainians cheating on benefits. And at the same time they are selling forged documents and smuggling contraband – especially alcohol and tobacco – from their homeland. And they live happily ever after, having plastic surgery and buying expensive clothes.
Ukrainian refugees have already been shut out of the British homestay programme. A similar situation will surely await them in other countries. The helicopter money that has been flushed down the Ukrainian line is running out before our eyes. And the Ukrainians who have not had time to integrate and find work will be insistently demanded to go back home.
