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

Catherine Connolly: Deputy, please.

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

Roderic O'Gorman: We have major challenges on the accommodation front and it is not helpful when people pretend there are easy solutions to address this. There are no easy solutions; if there were, there would not be people left unaccommodated right now. I want to thank, as I always do when we discuss migration, the many Deputies in government and opposition, both party members and Independents, who work...

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

Gary Gannon: When I sat down this morning to prepare my words and think about what I was going to offer to this debate today, I thought about some of the images from last week of people in our international protection system being bussed to Crooksling and then walking back, of the testimony from their advocates and some of the conversations I had with some of those sleeping in tents over the last number...

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

Roderic O'Gorman: Ireland has long stood by the principle in international and European law that those who need to seek refuge must be afforded the right to do so humanely, fairly and according to the rules of the international system that we strive to uphold. Recent years have seen an unprecedented combination of contributory factors — some one-off, others due to fundamental shifts in migration...

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

Holly Cairns: I thank my colleague, Deputy Whitmore, for her work on the motion and this issue. The desperate situation on Mount Street has been a growing humanitarian crisis for months, with hundreds of men and boys sleeping in the cold in completely unsanitary conditions, which has led to the spread of disease in recent weeks. Local activist groups and volunteers have been working tirelessly to help...

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

Catherine Murphy: In the past week, when the IP applicants who were camped out on Mount Street - some still are - were bussed to Crooksling, the optics were that they were being hidden from international eyes for the St. Patrick’s Day festival. It is an appalling way to treat human beings. The direct provision system, which was to be phased out, is overwhelmed and cannot cope with the new intake of...

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

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

Jennifer Whitmore: I move: That Dáil Éireann: expresses concern that: — a humanitarian and public health crisis is intensifying because of the failure of the Government to provide accommodation to asylum seekers; — there are now more than 1,200 international protection applicants without accommodation in Ireland; — hundreds of international protection applicants are...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (21 Mar 2024)

Micheál Martin: I thank the Deputy. I have dealt with this issue already in the House this morning. I am very clear the Government is focused on fulfilling the programme for Government. It is an important point that Government must always be about policy and substance, not necessarily about personalities. I have already instanced the planning Bill, which the Deputy has complained about, on the delivery...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (21 Mar 2024)

Claire Kerrane: I raise again the situation of flooding at Lough Funshinagh in my constituency. Waters have now surpassed record levels and the situation is getting worse every single day. Water levels are now at 69.16 m above sea level and are rising daily. At least five additional houses are now under immediate threat and another farmyard has been destroyed. Older people in their 80s and 90s are...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (21 Mar 2024)

Micheál Martin: I accept that. I do not disagree with the point and I know the specifics of the case but there is no easy resolution of all of this. However, I will revert to the Ministers concerned to see if anything can be done in this specific case. There is reflection needed across the House on where we are. We are seeing changing weather patterns. This morning, we had questions on tillage and so on...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (21 Mar 2024)

Micheál Martin: First, I acknowledge the difficulties on the N25. I met recently with the county manager in County Hall in Cork who was very concerned about the condition of the N25 from a road safety perspective and as a key artery between Midleton, Youghal, Carrigtohill and Waterford - thank you Deputy Butler - and it has not really been upgraded for a long time. Last year the Department of Transport...

Éamon Ó Cuív: The Tánaiste knows my concern about the treatment of republican prisoners in Maghaberry Prison and it is a long-term concern. I bring to his attention the case of a Dermot Burke, who is a prison in Maghaberry at present. He was arrested in January and is being held in solitary confinement since. During that period he has been scanned 18 times by an X-ray body scanner and he has had no...
