Accommodation for International Protection Applicants: Motion [Private Members] (21 Mar 2024)

Richard O'Donoghue: Well, they are because they keep interrupting while I am talking facts. Ireland is not saying that it does not want to protect the people of Ukraine. Yes it does but it wants to give them a quality of life, not put them in tents or in buildings with no services. These Deputies want our own Irish people to sleep on the ground.

Accommodation for International Protection Applicants: Motion [Private Members] (21 Mar 2024)

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: Yes, well it is not appropriate or in order. We will now hear some reasoned comments from Deputy Catherine Connolly.

Accommodation for International Protection Applicants: Motion [Private Members] (21 Mar 2024)

Catherine Connolly: I am sickened to my core by the divisive nature of what has just taken place here. I want to thank the Social Democrats for bringing this motion. I would like to place a little context on it. I have less than four minutes so I will do my best. Two days after we celebrated our national identity, nationally and internationally, 1,320 people were living on the streets of Dublin in tents. ...

Roderic O'Gorman: There is asbestos.

Accommodation for International Protection Applicants: Motion [Private Members] (21 Mar 2024)

People have been described as racists and...

I told the Government and the Minister's colleague, the Minister, Deputy Darragh O'Brien, in the Dáil 22 months ago that we were heading towards a totally unsustainable and chaotic social catastrophe, and here we are. I said it would bring about more human misery than we could possibly deal with...

Accommodation for International Protection Applicants: Motion [Private Members] (21 Mar 2024)

Gino Kenny: The Minister will agree that nobody should be homeless, regardless of where they are from. That could be Dublin, Cork, Belfast or Galway. Nobody should be homeless in this day and age. We can all agree that for decades the policy has been free-market ideology that has normalised homelessness. It has put people on the street and without shelter. At the moment, there are 14,000 people in...
