Michael Collins: The motion seems to be rooted in a utopian vision where Ireland has an infinite capacity for accommodation and can continue to absorb the world's suffering by accepting an unlimited number of asylum seekers. It is totally nuts to think that we can keep bringing people here to Ireland. Reality paints a different picture. Ireland has reached the limit of its capacity. We no longer have...

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

Richard O'Donoghue: I am going to speak the facts. Last week, I got an email from the local authority to say that a 4,500 sq. ft. premises, Thomond House, had been sold in Galbally. Nobody in the community was contacted but the local authority sent us an email. Despite a lack of services there, they want to move 31 people into 4,500 sq. ft. I have been involved in housing women, children and vulnerable...

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

Richard O'Donoghue: Can I be allowed to speak or are the Deputies going to continue to speak across me? I have nothing to declare but I have helped women and children from Ukraine by putting a roof over their heads in areas in Limerick. I also looked to protect them and give them the space in the area to make sure they can develop and be involved in our community. By putting 200 people-----

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: Time, Deputy.

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

Richard O'Donoghue: Sorry, Chair, but they have cut across my time. I have only got 30 seconds to talk and the looney tunes have been allowed three minutes to cut across me. With all due respect-----

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: Could we have a bit of mutual respect, please?

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

Richard O'Donoghue: I would appreciate that and to be given time to speak. From the point of facts, putting 31 people into a 4,500 sq. ft. building with no services to get them in and out of there, makes no sense. They also want to put 251 people into a school with no facilities.

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: Please stop calling people names.

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.
