Human rights watchdog challenges Government over failure to provide supports for asylum seekers

The expectation to pull a fully furnished 4 bed house in Sandyford out of our arse pocket for everyone who arrives is not realistic in a country with a housing crisis.

I think all those in government should be done for Hate Speech!

Actually I am delighted to see this. The government has been using a head in the sand approach to the impending refugee crisis for a long time. If they had a basic test..... If you arrive " Somehow" from somewhere we don't have a border with and say you have "lost" your papers then we know you are lying. Immediate deportation. Do not pass go, do not collect your free accommodation, money, medical care and legal representation.

By actually strictly enforcing the legal criteria for refugees who genuinely need our help there would be less of the chancers blocking up the whole system. Serves the government right

Our government hasn't listened to the concerns of their citizens, their, "**** you" attitude to people's concerns leads to frustration and bad things happen.

Any expectation is unrealistic. When the Poles arrived about 20 years ago, housing was expensive (for them). but there was lots of work, so they doubled up and the situation kind of sorted itself out. However we were not deailing with an immigrant crsis like we are today.

That headline by the way sounds terrible and will be easily picked up by Fox or other news agencies. "Ireland unable to provide accomodation for 259 people". Completely ignoring we have provided accomodation for about 80,000 immigrants this year alone. We get numerous immigrants every day that dont get counted because they do their own thing and so their name doesn't appear in any government or NGO surveys.
