    It's been confirmed, Ireland are to take in 4,000 refugees

    http://www.thejournal.ie/cabinet-meeting-refugee-migrants-2322044-Sep2015/
    IRELAND WILL WELCOME 4,000 refugees as part of the country’s response to the current crisis.
    The Minister for Justice Frances Fitzgerald announced the figure for the initial provision after a special cabinet meeting this morning.
    Ministers signed off on the Irish Refugee Protection Programme which will see reception and orientation centres set up around the country. State property - uner the care of the defence forces and the OPW - is being audited to check if there are any vacant buildings that could be used to house or welcome refugees coming to Ireland.
    Minister Fitzgerald said that a range of offers have also been received from voluntary and religious organisations.
    It is understood that some refugees will arrive within weeks – particularly those who had been accepted from Lebanon earlier this year.
    Others coming under this new plan will come before the end of the year

    OP, this isn't the place to dump links to news websites.

    We sat again for an hour and a half discussing maps and figures and always getting back to that most damnable creation of the perverted ingenuity of man - the County of Tyrone.
