I would like to send my appreciation and gratefulness to RIA and Irish government at large for giving us, asylum seekers, direct provision accommodation as each one of our cases are being considered. I however have a rather personal case regarding the same and have been trying any channel that could have it heard/considered. I hope everyone reading my message will bear with me if I may have addresses my case in the wrong panel. Am a gay asylum seeker having fled my country after persecution. Am now waiting for decision subsidiary protection/ leave to remain in the state. Well, I do appreciate how the state has been giving me direct provision for the last two and half years and I do understand because of the large volumes of cases it might take a while before mine is determined. Being a gay living in the direct provision hasn't been very rosy for me. Sharing with straight guys and of different countries and cultures has been bittersweet for me. learning their cultures and integration etc has been good for me but on the other hand I have been living a traumatised life in the same hostels. After learning of my orientation myself and my room-mates (in all three hostels I have been) have been having a cold war. Always accusing, rebuking, condemning me of anything with my orientation and that I might turn my gayness to them. I tried applying for self-catering accommodation in vain. Luckily for me I got to get a Filipino boyfriend in Dublin (whom I dearly love) and am obliged to spend most of my time at his place contrary to my direct accommodation rules and regulations. he gives me a shoulder to lean on and I get someone to share my stress and happiness with.
Well, my wish is to get an accommodation (self-catering or same)so as I could avoid my "wars against" room-mates in the hostels, as my case is been considered. Please, I would be really grateful if someone could hear my plea.
My apologies again if I may have posted/addressed my case on the wrong channel/place.
