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

Aodhán Ó Ríordáin: -----with what the Minister has to deal with now. We did not have the same numbers. We did not have racists in the Dáil in the same number as the Minister has to deal with, or in the Seanad, but I did have a partner in government that was unsympathetic, which is what the Minister has. I also had to deal with - I have to say this - a permanent government that is institutionally racist....

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

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Is cúis náire dúinn é mar náisiún go bhfuil daoine ar shráideanna na príomhchathrach ina gcónaí i bpubaill, idir iad siúd atá gan dídean agus iad siúd atá i gcóras na dteifeach. Le blianta roimhe seo, bhímid ar fad ag féachaint thar lear agus ag tarraingt airde ar na cathracha de phubaill a bhí sna...

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

Matt Carthy: What we saw on Mount Street last week was a visualisation of the stark failures of the Government's immigration and asylum system. The Government has failed. The Minister is clearly out of his depth. Communities have been antagonised and vulnerable people left in atrocious and inhumane conditions. This should not be complicated. We need an asylum system that is fair, efficient and...

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

John Brady: I thank the Social Democrats for bringing the motion before us. It once again places the spotlight on the chaos, hypocrisy and utter failure of the Government to address the crippling housing crisis within the State. The Government's approach clearly is not working. It exposes a chaotic approach to immigration that has failed communities and those coming to these shores seeking...

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

Roderic O'Gorman: We plan ahead so we can ensure there will be beds available for families with children in the coming weeks and it would be grossly irresponsible for us not to do so. Deputy Cairns spoke about beds in the Ukrainian system, as if it is interchangeable with the international protection system. After 24 months, it is deeply frustrating for me to hear Deputies saying that the two systems are...

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

Roderic O'Gorman: The Social Democrats have 40 minutes; I have ten. I ask the Deputy to let me finish my point. We have been actively engaging with providers on the Ukrainian side seeking that they transfer to the international protection side. We have had some successes in that and will continue to do that but this notion that there are 3,000 easy beds there that we can remove-----
