Time for a zero refugee policy? - *Read OP for mod warnings - updated 11/5/24*

It'll be getting harder and harder to deport anyone with so many AGS resources being spent on the bogus peaceful protestors.

Rise of the far-right you mean surely?

Which most people I think can see is a far bigger threat to Ireland than IPAs.

Having to house people who'll go on to work is a challenge...

Having to deal with the far-right tearing the EU apart would be a disaster.

Because the EU functions so well at the moment.

Not in every regard but we'd certainly be screwed without it.

No EU would pretty much be no corporation tax for us.

To have that dropped on us would make the last recession look like a joke.

Asylum seeker families have been going into apartments . Only Single males into factories etc . All the while our homeless figures reached record highs today .

I see our Olympic team shared a boat with Iraq tonight. Better watch out lads or they will stowaway to make their way over here to take our paint factories, our army camps. our tents and our jobs.

Fair enough, you know more than me about the asylum system than me. I just couldn’t understand how a woman arrived last December with 2 kids ended up being housed in one of most expensive apartments in Dublin City. Was there nowhere in Nigeria she could have found a safe place?

"Was there nowhere in Nigeria she could have found a safe place"

Or how many other safe countries between Nigeria and edge of Europe Ireland.

You're not alone in asking that question, I think most of us level headed posters are bewildered that this keeps happening

It's all a con job, plain in simple

But did that 60% get deported or leave?

Time to get the cheque book out again. Another AS suing the state over failure to provide adequate housing while his case is considered.

 Any building that was burned has insurance so that doesn’t stop McEntee...

Holy s**t!

Is that what some people really think?

There's no cost to this because the insurance companies hand out free money?

Aside from that AGS resources aren't limited to cash. They've been low on numbers for years now and the work hours going into dealing with the bogus peaceful protestors must be huge.

Time spent at the actual riots would be a fraction of time spent on investigations and logistics.

https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/courts/several-high-court-challenges-initiated-against-tented-accommodation-for-asylum-seekers/a1103421493.html?#

Several High Court challenges have been initiated alleging tented accommodation at sites such as Crooksling, in Co Dublin, does not meet the basic needs of asylum seekers.

The latest case to come before the court is brought by a Somalian national who was initially homeless upon his arrival in the State last December.

The man’s action challenges the lack of suitable “material reception conditions”, including accommodation, since he indicated his intention to apply for international protection here.

Leaving him on the streets for four months breached his right to a “dignified standard of living”, as did the later supply of tented accommodation, he alleges.

The homelessness point has been raised in previous challenges, including ones that caused the High Court to declare the State failed in its duties and breached asylum seekers’ rights.

This led to the introduction of some new measures and a rise in the weekly payment to homeless international protection applicants.

The Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission later brought a case claiming these new measures are still not enough to bring the State into line with its international obligations.

Judgment is awaited in this action, which is opposed by the State.

A new round of cases claim the supply of tented accommodation at sites such as Crooksling also do not comply with standards.

Ms Justice Niamh Hyland was told on Friday that the Somalian man’s case is among a number that raise the issue of asylum seeker homelessness and tented accommodation.

The man’s barrister Colm O’Dwyer SC told the judge the situation is “not suitable”.

David Conlan Smyth SC said the actions will be opposed by his clients: the Minister for Equality and Integration, Ireland and the Attorney General.

The judge adjourned the case to next October, when the similar actions are next due to be mentioned before the court.

In the most recent case, the man, who cannot be identified, alleges he slept in doorways and sometimes in a small tent near Mount Street in Dublin city when left on the streets during the wettest period of the year.

A €113 weekly payment was not sufficient for him to live with any meaningful level of dignity and barely covered food costs, he claims.

He was later accommodated at a site in Crooksling, near the Dublin mountains, where army tents are shared by about a dozen men, he says. Then considered to be accommodated, the €113.80 payment was reduced to €38.80, he says.

He gets three meals per day and has access to a toilet and showering facilities, but the accommodation does not meet the basic standard of living required, he says.

The State’s failure has caused him to suffer loss, damage, inconvenience and expense, his case alleges.

In a separate case before the same judge, a Palestinian man who claims he is a former political prisoner and was tortured in an Israeli jail has sued the State arising out of his homelessness after he sought international protection.

The man arrived here in April and applied for International Protection.

He claims that since then he has been left without any proper accommodation, and in recent months has spent time sleeping in a tent or in another person's home

Screw the Irish homeless, lets give these lads there houses

Nothing wrong with Tents in the likes of Crooksling

But to be brutally honest, they should be **** happy with what ever they get.

If only communities had one of those Veto thingys stopping unwanted men/AS being forced on them, the thing MLMcD said at a press conference wasn't allowed because it's undemocratic, pretty sure there'd be feck all protests, and bogus protesters as ye call them
