Do you have suggestions to the questions raised? Your and the woke only approach to topics that you oppose by dismissong, shutting down and takimg a faux moral high ground is actually driving reasonable people to the other side, feedimg the far right lunatics. Again we are all ears to what you think should be done to address to increase requirements to house and provide public services for the refugees and the irish public. What would you do to process asylum applications to ensure those who are fleeing conflict are taking into ireland in a quick and effective manner?

Might not have to travel that far. A quick flight to Heathrow would bring you there the way things are going

It’s an awful pity all them working class people protesting are so stupid that they’ve left the “Far Right” use them like this. Hopefully ordinary people are stopped from having any say in their local communities going forward

A chap called Malachy Steenson is so silenced he was afforded a chance to speak on Liveline and hung up.
He lost it with Joe & hung up, the cunt
Malachy is an odd one. Former Official Sinn Fein, former Workers Party, long time candidate in the Sheriff St area. Solicitor. Believe he fell out with his former comrades over abortion though with that crowd you wouldn’t know what is going on.
A quick Google shows he recently gave a long interview to Trinity College’s in house fascist rag “The Burkean”.
You listen to joe duffy? Have you rang in yet?
The phoenix had a good article on him

Who would have thought Roderic O’Gorman’s open door immigration policy would lead to this scenario…
Any asylum seeker arriving into Ireland for the next month may have to live on the streets as there is a “very real risk” government will not be able to accommodate them, Minister for Integration Roderic O’Gorman has said.
It will be a number of weeks before government will be able to procure additional accommodation for international protection applicants, Mr O’Gorman said, meaning there will likely be nowhere to house people who arrive before the middle of February.
There are currently 88 asylum seekers living in tents in Knockalisheen direct provision centre in Co Clare as temperatures have been plummeting below freezing at night this week, as government has nowhere else to house them.
This is despite a pledge from Mr O’Gorman in 2022 that a return to the use of tented accommodation would not happen.
There are currently 19,000 international protection applicants in Ireland and 54,000 UKrainians fleeing Putin’s war in their homeland.
“It’s becoming increasingly difficult to secure new accommodation and particularly, over the next few weeks into the middle of February, it’s difficult to get a line of sight over enough accommodation of what we anticipate will be the number of arrivals when we look back to what we have seen in the last number of months.
“There is a very real risk, particularly on the international protection side [asylum seekers not from Ukraine], that we won’t be able to accommodate everybody,” Mr O’Gorman said on RTÉ’s News At One.
Mr O’Gorman said “vulnerable” applicants, such as families with children, will be prioritised and for those who aren’t provided accommodation - government will look to provide “contingencies”.
“We will look to provide them with food vouchers, we will look to take their details so we can contact them again once additional accommodation can be secured,” Mr O’Gorman said.
The Citywest centre will have to close to new arrivals “within a matter of days” as it is nearly at capacity, Mr O’Gorman confirmed, and likely for a number of months, but it will still be used to process people arriving into the country.
There is also a small facility in Dublin Airport where new asylum seekers can sleep but this is “not a long-term facility,” Mr O’Gorman said.
When asked if the likelihood is asylum seekers arriving to Ireland in the coming weeks would be sleeping on the streets, Mr O’Gorman reiterated: “There is a very real risk we won’t be able to accommodate everybody, yes”.
Various locations in hotels, converted buildings and other accommodation will come available for government around the middle of February.
New modular homes for Ukrainian arrivals will first be opened around Easter at five different sites, with the first phase opening 200 units. A second phase of 200 units and a third phase of 300 units will also come on-stream later in 2023.
What do you mean?
