Information regarding new asylum seeker accommodation must be shared carefully due to threats and arson, Integration Minister Roderic O’Gorman has said.
Protesters wearing masks blocked buses attempting to carry asylum seekers into accommodation at the Airways Industrial Estate.In the Dáil, Minister O’Gorman said that over 145 emergency accommodation centres have been opened since January 2022. Some 49 have been opened this year. “The nature of this crisis means that we do not always get to do the level of engagement we would like.
Minister Harris confirmed during the statements that the International Protection Office has beefed up staff and has increased the number of decisions it has made on asylum applications. Some 93 new staff members have been hired this year. “This year, to end April, almost 2,500 first instance decisions were made by the IPO, increasing even further the rate of decisions being made year on year.”
Labour’s Duncan Smith said: “I draw the line when it comes to blockading accommodation centres. There is no long game that has to be played there.
