"Women and children will be prioritised for [refugee] accommodation in Citywest " - Irish Minister for Equality (etc.), Roderic O’Gorman. Subsequently over the weekend, only men were turned away from refugee accommodation (see links in comments)

"Taoiseach [Irish Prime Minister] says Government ‘under pressure’ on refugee accommodation after 33 Ukrainians turned away from Citywest

No women or children turned away, but men asked to provide contact details for when places become available

[..]

A spokeswoman for the Department said all individuals who were turned away from the Citywest transit hub were male, and no women or children were turned away. The men who were not able to be accommodated were asked to provide contact details so they can be contacted when accommodation does become available."

To the Irish feminists who tried telling me Ireland is gender equal: I told you so

wntk · 2022-10-24T01:35:14+00:00

It is interesting to see the comments on the Irish Times and Irish Independent Facebook pages to these articles.

A lot say that these men should be in the army anyway fighting for their country.

"Ten Ukrainian refugees who arrived in Ireland yesterday have been told there is no accommodation for them, bringing the total number to 44 this week.

Yesterday it had been revealed that 33 refugees had been told there was no accommodation for them, but this afternoon the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (DCEDIY) confirmed that 'a further ten people, all single males, were informed that no accommodation was available and asked to provide contact details for when it does become available.'”

"Equality". Ok.

VerbotenVerb · 2022-10-24T03:41:36+00:00

Said the minister of equality.

Do the Irish women hand them white feathers on the way out?

hawksdiesel · 2022-10-24T14:52:28+00:00

Being turned away, as a refugee, because you are male. Good going Ireland.

Magical-Hummus · 2022-10-24T09:48:42+00:00

Basically: Men, go die in war. You are less worth.

Another example of some top 1%men in power prioritizing women and children

dungeonmonkey69 · 2022-10-24T04:51:11+00:00

Typical

The sexist pigs who provide emergecy accomodation for people on the basis of sex, not need, are just sexist pigs. No more, very likely less.

jacare_o · 2022-10-24T20:39:31+00:00

The children I understand. But why do women get a free pass?

It should be 'children and caretakers'.

Peaceandwholsomemes · 2022-10-24T06:48:16+00:00

At this point I’m not surprised there’s a hotel down the road that has majority women and kids not saying that’s bad but let everyone in ffs

HelloThereBoi66 · 2022-10-24T14:53:30+00:00

Thing I am most annoyed at (I'm Irish for context) is that in the past Ireland had some great women who fought for Irish independence (on the Intel and battle front) from women along with their brothers, and the first woman elected to parliament was Irish (tho she didnt take her seat in London due to war for independence)

And now we have these double standards

ERiC_693 · 2022-10-24T20:16:55+00:00

Ironic isn't it that from North Africa and Albania, boatloads of ILLEGAL males with no women and children and no documentation and also escaping from war-ridden France are put in 4 star hotels.

While LEGAL males from Ukraine escaping A WAR are told there's no room. Funny that.

The other thing is I think this is also to do with avoiding putting males in houses with female and children refugees. Maybe they just didn't want to say it but it is a realistic concern and I think it's probably a motive. Remember no Irish men have been put in housing at all.

IronJohnMRA · 2022-10-24T14:24:10+00:00

Women and children will be prioritised for accommodation in Citywest, and his department will work with NGOs about supporting other arrivals.

Other arrivals, like men? Funny how they don't seem to exist. And I'm not holding my breath while he, and his department, "work with NGO's" to support them.

Angryasfk · 2022-10-24T11:57:17+00:00

Hmm. I wonder if Greenislemonster will come and explain to us how utterly committed Ireland is to treating men and women equally because they’re so “progressive” and the whole”woke agenda” is due to America’s “conservativism”!

NeoNotNeo · 2022-10-24T22:24:06+00:00

Prioritizing one gender in the name of equality.

Calling George Orwell.

Mr Orwell line 1 please

Hey feminist! Where are you now?! How is this equality?!

equalRights111 · 2022-10-25T09:15:57+00:00

Now that’s the kind of equality I’m talking about. Down with the patriarchy. - Some feminist, 2k22.

MGTOW_Theory · 2022-10-24T08:00:44+00:00

This is always going to be this way. Powerful men and all woman will always try to enslave or kill rest of male population.

Besides they don't have to accept anyone. Woman and children is their choice. Men of Ukraine should fight with their own government. Men only have one home, that which they create themselves.
