Drop-off partly attributed to Ukrainian ambassador to Ireland asking refugees not to come to Ireland or to defer their journeys

Last month Minister for Integration Roderic O’Gorman met ambassador Gerasko Larysa to discuss arrangements for refugees during what was expected to be a “very challenging period” for sourcing accommodation up to January 13th.

While data shows the numbers seeking refuge in Ireland continued to rise in the days immediately following this, they have dropped considerably since.A further 1,181 refugees were recorded for the following week. Amid continuing intense pressure on Ireland’s system for accommodating refugees the Government is not assuming the fall in numbers in recent days is part of a trend.

In total more than 70,300 people from Ukraine have been granted temporary protection in Ireland since the Russia invasion last February. The Department of Justice said there are no routine exit checks on people leaving the State so it is not possible to say how many beneficiaries of temporary protection have since left Ireland to return to Ukraine.

On Wednesday The Irish Times reported that the State is facing a shortfall of more than 14,000 beds for refugees before the end of March.

Irish are finally waking up the scam I wasn't really Ukrainians coming anyway it was African Middle Eastern and Georgians and albanians

Very late but wise decision however damage has already been done to both sides. First one politicians who polished their politics and forgot about national interests and Ukrainians got into bad situation after certain numbers. Disastrous decision/ Management by Irish politicians

They can't house 11,500 Irish

Good stop them coming

🥱🥱

Has she no comment over the amount of her compatriots who returned to war torn Ukraine for Christmas holidays just long enough to not lose their social welfare benefits?

When are they going home? , can take that chunky salami eatin fuc£er with em

I've seen alot of very well off Ukrainian people here lately, big flash cars and not short of a few quid.. So I'm guessing it was only the well off could afford to leave the war torn country and the poor had to stay behind.. Also, why, aren't the men staying behind to fight 🤔

Why do they come here? Who pays fares? Why don't they stay and fight for their own country like many millions of fellow citizens.

We took in a lodger back in February, was coming from Poland to work, turns out he was a 35yr Ukrainian, he was extremely aggressive, dirty, loud, on phone loudspeaker throughout the house, 1-2am no issues, kicked our dog2 time, cooking constantly, leaving unattended oil, etc

🇺🇦 Excellent news. Now if only Ireland wasn't so scared of controlling itself + wasn't so deeply up the holes of its European Union masters. But you've Sleeveen MichealMartinTD + Sockboy LeoTheLeak LeoVaradkar held together by Sleepy Lettuce EamonRyan 🙄🤡 Treacherous 🐍🐍🐍

The competition from other refugees getting tough!!

About time, we are full

Seems to be a huge flux in men of african descent now

The Ukranians have seen how much of a multicultural shithole we have become. They'll all want back at this stage. They don't like to be around the others. And are probably very confused as to why so many are here amongst us.

Did she eat them

God love her she looks starving

She must have eatten them. More rolls than a bakery has that woman.

More BULLSHIT

Our new Housing minister.

If you believe this headline you'd believe anything

Won't bother our govt,they will continue to traffic in plane loads of men with who knows what in their past.this govt will have blood on its hands soon and we won't forget.

Ah, it's also the fact that we are full

Good. No offense to them but there’s no where to put them. Not enough services either. We need to press pause. Help the ones here already. Go through asylum seekers applications quicker & deport the scammers. This will free up things for genuine ppl

Irish regime still acting as if asserting our own sovereign rights would be a hate crime. Relying on foreign diplomats to make decisions on whether OUR country is full or not. IrelandisFull

No point bringing in refugees, when the government have no plan in place to house them.

It had absolutely nothing 2 do with the Ambassador's comments & all 2 do with Social media chatter were they were literally discussing the fact the 🇮🇪 Gravy Train had reached it's destination. Very Telling however, the still,very Generous Financial supports attracting many here.

Any Ukrainians that travelled home for the Christmas holidays should have all welfare benefits and free housing withdrawn.

Maybe now ask the Romanian, Eritrean, Somalian, etc ambassadors for similar statements?
