Direct provision hotel on fire again

Those direct provision centres seem very flammable. First the Donegal one goes up in flames, now the Roscommon one has gone up in flames. Welcome to little Ireland.

... the village of Rooskey on the Roscommon/Leitrim border.

Refugees dodged a bullet with that one, better off sticking tough in Syria.

Those locals might as well torch the rest of the place while they're at it.

Many of our ancestors emigrated and were mostly welcomed with open arms.

Yet these fools are burning down accommodation meant for refugees seeking a better life.

The irony is staggering.

I'm not condoning these arseholes committing arson but the fact that some people from the same island as me went other places has absolutely no bearing on what I should and shouldn't accept on this island now. It happens that I think we should give Syrians a dig out but not because of some historic tit for tat.

There has been a long running dispute over that hotel, by the sounds of it the direct provision contract may well have been a tactic by one side in that dispute and this fire has nothing to do with anti-refugee action.

Locals were not even consulted about what was going to happen in rooskey.

And as night follows day, this argument comes up. Sadly it's dubious at best. The majority of our ancestors ended up in the New World - that was built on and needed immigration - and none of them had social safety nets. No social welfare, just charity. Many, if not most were not welcomed "with open arms". In the 19th in America, Australia and New Zealand the Irish were mistrusted at best, hated at worst and discriminated with it. In the UK, "No Dogs, Blacks or Irish" on ads for rented properties wasn't so long ago. 1970's not so long ago. So yeah, save this "argument" please.

So?
Why should locals be consulted about what a private person does with his private property?

Yes. It's called the planning process.

Was going to say no Dogs no Blacks no Irish however beaten to it.

Ireland needs a proper political system apart from the two and half party effort we have now. FF/FG and LAB. Their politics are roughly the same. The person on the street has no democratic option to express their views.

SYRIANS dodged a bullet , imagen the poor ****ers being sent there. Highest scuicide rate in Ireland.

Hopefully they will be placed in an area with more resources and brighter people

Manners. Respect for the locals born and bred there. To alert local doctors. To alert local dentists. To alert local shop keepers. Just basic manners pal.

locals should be informed about a change such as a direct provision establishment being opened in their area.
fgs a business needs to apply for permission to change from one thing to another.
these centres may be hotels but they are not being operated as an hotel when being run as a direct provision centre. two completely different things.

gctest50 · 11-01-2019 01:23AM

It's even easier now ,they can build a purpose-built refugee centre there

Note that Irish emigration in the 19th century was legal.

Most asylum-seekers are bogus, illegal immigrants.

The 4,000 refugees that we have agreed to take, great, they are welcome, no problem.

But the thousands of bogus AS are not welcome.

There have been hundreds of sham marriages due to the thousands of illegal Asian men immigrating into Ireland.

Look up Operation Vantage.

Seriously, once the planning process is legal that's all that matters.
The locals will know when it happens

The place has planning to be used as short term accommodation. That's what is being used for.

Public consultancy is often a standard from private companies in relation to a major change in a small community.

But they didn't emigrate to the same countries that the asylum seekers are coming from.
