The approach taken by the Department and the Government has failed utterly and seems to be led by speculators making millions of euro from the process. It does not take into consideration the needs of communities on which additional pressures have been placed. Many Ministers have given false promises in this Chamber. For example, additional services were promised when Syrian refugees first arrived in Roscommon many years ago, but those services have still not been delivered in Ballaghaderreen and other communities in Roscommon where there are significant pressures on GP services and school places. The false promises have led to large levels of resentment. People want to do the right thing and support people coming to this State seeking protection, but when the State fails by putting more pressure on limited services within their communities, it causes resentment. That failure lies at the Government’s door.
