Can we keep the Ukrainians and deport the racists please?

Zelensky is the de facto minister for housing in Ireland.

Maybe put a cap on it! Clowns

As expected

Time to go home

If the Irish Govt is serious about helping Ukrainians & not virtue signalling to curry favour with the UN it would cost just 1.5m to house this group of 2,500 Ukrainians in Kyiv for the month of September, giving them a more realistic base from which to rebuild their lives.

Scam to drive down wages. They really don’t give a shite about these Ukrainians. Just more gullible people to exploit. Scam continues.

Ah yes a more humane approach while our own sit in the streets and have nowhere to go, nothing but sympathy for Ukrainians but our own must come first.

Good. It's time they return to the safe areas of Ukraine. It's a disgrace that they are costing us so much money and using precious housing. IrelandIsFull
