      I dunno about anyone else, but a billion euro strikes me as a lot of money.

      Almost 1% of total government expenditure.

      A lot of money, going to (in some cases) cowboys.

      How much purpose built refugee accommodation could you get build for 1 billion

      Spending a fortune on accommodation for refugees to private companies and individuals, because of lack of interest in developing forward thinking housing because it hurts a voting bases property values. Ireland

      Its so weird that hotel owners are often friends or associated with elected officials. So weird!!

      Everybody needs to realise that this is an investment for our future , we’re gonna make the money back once they all start becoming doctors and engineers, and then they’re going to be paying our pensions.

      The irish people really are a soft touch . The government just keeps bending over taxpayer’s and we keep taking it . Anyone who complains is called a bigot or a racist

      It’s about 3000 bikesheds or 1000 security huts.

      These officials will not let anyone fix this problem at root, it’s just too much money for their friends.

      Let’s just not forget that that money didn’t go to the refugees but to the Irish businesses closely aligned with the government.

      So, where to from here? Genuinely? The most pro-immigrant person should be able to clearly see this is not sustainable in any metric, and has shown not to be in other countries who’ve had similar or higher rates now for longer. We need to have mature discussions about what we can and cannot provide, and our limits. Because we are at them. The European *youth* in places like Germany are now the predominant hard-right voters. The fact the government is only now touching rhetoric (still in their non-nuanced takes) is interesting, just as all our services and basic necessities such as housing are at a disastrous breaking point. We cannot save the world, but we could at least start by only dealing with the genuine asylum seekers-which by the governments own admission, are the vast minority of cases here.

      Why in God’s name isn’t the government just using those funds to build permanent housing instead of temporary?

      Oh right, it’s because it’s not popular within constituents, so we now instead need to run this clown show of putting people in the bloody Ritz or something
