Why has no media outlet questioned as to why the majority of these cluster are now in direct provision? If this virus has shown anything is successive goverments have failed the poorest in our country. We’ve know for years they were an inhumane shitshow that only benefited the hotels that would have went bust after 2010. We the taxpayer are paying to keep them occupied, same system for homelessness.
Direct provision is the magdalene laundries of our generation. Whats happening in them seems to be absolutely scandalous - thats from reading between the lines.
Its not good. Its a total disgrace, there will be a social consequence to it as well sadly which will cost more than looking after those people properly in the first place for me personally.
Not having a vote - even if a lot of people don’t use theirs, is precarious. Sweep sweep jobs occur.
I was talking a guard in the Midlands before all this and he was saying they had to go out a few times for incidents, he said its horrendous what the people are living in, regardless of your opinion on asylum seekers he said its a disgrace. But again follow the money and who is benefiting from this? Ffg backers. Must cost a fortune to keep them in there
I don’t know too much about it, but I’d say that guard was spot on sadly.
Its one of those things that just isnt as important in the media as an under cover setup job on a pub for instance, like the one on RTE’s primetime recently.
When I was working on the buildings in Dublin we built a house for an ex-Guard. He had bought a few run down houses in Dublin and filled them with asylum seekers. Was getting something like €60 a night per head. Literally made a fortune from it.
In the current environment organising any political rally or event in this regard would be dangerous for anyone involved in that. For me personally I feel strongly enough about this sleepwalking into economic devastation and the anti-science that is currently prevalent that I would consider becoming politically active for the first time in my life but as I’m in probationary period with a US MNC that there is a good chance I’d lose my job over it. I think the environment needs to change before widespread dissent will happen and I think that is a couple of months away yet but we’re not there yet. Tens of thousands of more people will have to lose their jobs before that happens so I think October or November will be the timeframe.
This is our lot for a good while now, spring 2021 at least. Winter’s round the corner, immunities will be down, the oldies will be back filling the hospitals. Make sure you guys got some good snacks and good WiFi under the bed.
Feed them any slop and hire a cleaner, shocking. It would be more beneficial to set up a court to get the asylum applications through and either deport fraudulent claims and bring the genuine cases into society. I feel for the poor folk its a terrible life
