Ireland running out of accommodation for Ukrainian refugees due to surge in non-Ukrainian refugees?

It’s amazing that a former minister was previously afraid to bring up the issue of illegal immigration. What other illegal activity would a member of cabinet be afraid to condemn?

Where is the outcry about this lack or accommodation for future refugees?

No one seems to care.

You'd really have to come and see a (rare) protest that there was any NP presence at. They stand apart from everyone with their banner looking pretty Spode-ish. They don't interact apart from handing out leaflets. And most people see them as oddities.

As East Wall 4 All have shown, you can have nothing to do with a thing and still hand out flyers.

When the NP are there it's because they want to associate themselves with the protest as a kind of advertisement. They don't add anything to a protest and the way they can undermine one is pretty obvious.

They're like AIG and Dublin. They want to associate themselves with success but no one thinks they deserve any credit for it.

There are a couple of Ballymun residents in the NP. That's why an NP member was there with a megaphone on the first night and they rallied the troops the following night when the rest of us showed up.

(You're paying them more attenton than I would but the "Ballymun Says No" poster showed up at a later protest. The first weekend all they had was their generic "House the Irish not the World" one)

Come along to the Shelbourne tomorrow (Sat) at 2. The NP may show up - who knows. But East Wall rules mean if they do they won't be let display party banners or give speeches. (We're even promised a counter protest)

If I was you I'd be much more worried about Fine Gael than the NP.

Whaaaaat, home to Algeria and Georgia??

I would be very. Very. interested to know why exactly Dolcain House in Clondalkin has been deemed unfit for further use as emergency accommodation "due to fire safety concerns".

It was presumably fire safety compliant as open plan offices. Now, divided up in cubicles, it is not. Makes sense. Evacuation times greatly reduced.

From a fire safety perspective how does Dolcain House differ from say the Gateway Two Office block being used in East Wall?

Meanwhile, 148 people seeking international protection are to be moved out of a building in Clondalkin where they are currently being housed due to fire safety concerns.

Dolcain House was offered to the Department of Integration for use as emergency accommodation for international protection applicants.

The department said that the property was deemed safe by an independent inspection.

However, it said Dublin Fire Brigade is not satisfied with the current fire certifications for the building.

"After significant engagement with Dublin Fire Brigade, that office has stated that they are not satisfied with the specific fire certification arrangements that exist currently in the building to allow a continued use for residential accommodation", the department said.

It is understood the 148 residents will be moved out in the coming days.

It'll be aircraft hangers, pallet racking and forklift trucks next

Cracks appearing in the narrative.

Aidan Mullins, Sinn Fein Councillor in Portarlington, the new home to 4 Georgian men who were involved in the stabbing incident in the Centre in Killarney.

Seven men were granted bail and the Georgian men were then transferred out of Killarney and in to Portarlington. As usual no consultation took place with the local community.

The International Protection Act 2015 is our key piece of Legislation covering our obligations regarding claims for asylum. This Act, among other things, sets out the circumstances under which an application for International Protection is inadmissible and this includes where the person arrived here from a safe country of origin for which there is a designated list.

Georgia is on that list and is deemed to be a safe country of origin and so it is clear from the 2015 Act that these applications for asylum should be declared inadmissible.

So why is our Government not implementing this legislation for applications from Georgia which is a designated safe country and it’s pretty self evident that these are economic migrants?  

My honest opinion? Put them on the next plane home.

P.S. please don’t insult me with comments about racism.

McDonald won't be happy with him breaking rank and speaking his mind.

More said from the do gooders about the protests than the dreadful conditions many of the refugees are living in.

Who cares , I think it’s Marvellous

well done to all participating and keep it up :)

Yes.

The government finally seem to be copping on.

Food & clothing vouchers then fend for yourself out there.

The word will go back - don't bother coming to Treasure Ireland, it's full.
