Ciara Doherty is joined by Taoiseach Micheál Martin to discuss Ireland's housing crisis, mass emigration and rising tensions in communities surrounding asylum seekers.
Ciara asks the Taoiseach if he is ignoring the unease and rising tensions in communities surrounding asylum seekers.
He tells her: "From a moral perspective, as the bombs rain down on cities all across Ukraine, I don't think we can say no to women and children who are fleeing Ukraine."

Are the 65,000 Ukrainians going to leave, and return to their Country when the war is over? Also, why can the Irish government find them accommodation and not those homeless Irish citizens? Why can't you give the Irish homeless people the same level of assistance and support? Thank you

Well said John. The answers are no (why would they seeing as they get what irish people can't get), also, irish homeless are viewed as unimportant by people like Michael Martin and varadkar. Know why? Because they don't get a pat on the head from abroad for looking after their own. Forced immigration is a very real thing. Being born here counts for nothing. Disgusting to say, but true

@@PorkChopExpress86 Thanks for your reply, I am Northern Irish, and here we have been attacked and accused, by certain media, charity groups, politicians etc of not taking more Ukrainians, however I feel, that as a people we should be looking out for our own citizens who are homeless, struggling, poor etc. No Irish citizens should be homeless or living for years in hotels or temporary accommodation! Thank you

Great job! Our leaders hate us so why vote? Why listen? Why take part in their utter disregard for us all? People deserve their governments.
