This one looks too fancy to get burned down. So far it’s only been decrepit buildings that have been burnt
Tourism is overrated
What is the yearly total incurred to the tax payer per international protection applicant? Listening to the PK show on Newstalk, seemingly the taxpayer doesn’t need to know how much this particular deal costs, another commercially sensitive arrangement.
> For 2 years
Lol, sure.
It really does feel like this government is just handing wins to far right candidates
Joke this government should be ashamed of themselves. No hotels anywhere should be used to house asylum seekers/refugees or economic migrants.
‘For two years’
Aye I’m sure we’ll have somewhere else for them to go by then, that definitely won’t be extended
A town of 44,000 sacrificed at the neo-liberal altar. This reminds me of Thatcher’s “managed decline” of Merseyside in the 80s. I think Leo will be regarded in the same way in the future. And all under the pretence of compassion. Quite ingenious really.
Edit 44,000
>for 2 years
My arse!
There’s a referendum & after that an election- people will get their opportunity to express themselves about this, the housing crisis & so many other things that are wrong with this country
luv me globalism
It’ll look like District 9 after 1
I work in gardiner street in one of the hostels as security and sadly all hotels/hostels are moving into this because it’s easy money
Why dosnt locals boycott the D hotel in the future.
Surely, that’s their name tarnished with the locals.
What the absolute fuck is going on
We need the fire brigade to patrol the building
Imagine the public transport we could have if we spent all the money these grifters get on busses and trains
Reddit confuses me sometimes, one day you’re roaring and calling everyone “far-right” and racist because people don’t like this, now all of a sudden the last few days everyone agrees
Good to see the government have adopted an accelerationist approach
111 bedroom hotel, housing 500 applicants?
The hotel is owned by, Fairkeep Ltd who bought it last September, I doubt they care where they get an income stream from in fact they might have bought it with this public money in mind.
Either that or it’ll house a big fire for 1 night.
Apparently the bar and functions rooms will still be open to the public.That will be interesting how that works.Can’t see locals wanting to give them a cent now.
The Royal College of Surgeons used to send its students for years to this hotel when they’re on peripheral rotations, covering the costs for it. Up until early January RCSI couldn’t keep up with their rates and couldn’t contract a good deal, then they decided to ask its students to commute from Dublin.
Now we all know why.
I am pro migration. Only if there is a structure for it. Manageable numbers so supports can be put in place. South Americans blend in easily and Chinese. Some other Nationalities not so. These international obligations are not sustainable. O’gorman has promised as Per the Catherine Day white paper on Direct provision that every asylum seeker will have their own hall door. There is 100 million refugees and most want to get to Europe. Time to opt out of these obligations. Adopt the Australian model of immigration.
I’d be shocked if there isn’t trouble at the protest tomorrow and Sunday.
Yep. Our shitty current government making it harder for the next “left wing” government. Doing the exact same shit in the UK.
This has to be a tactic? Once they are out the media is going to give unending hell to the new gov.
We are so fucked when the next big recession comes and we have this many dependents as well to support as our own
We actually looked at this hotel recently, seemed like one of the only decent hotels in Drogheda. What a shame
I would like to know what western governments are up to?
Besides being lobbied by phony “human rights” lawyers to make tonnes of money representing these poor migrants.
This policy is fucking silly.
An absolute two fingers to working people with a transfer of taxpayer funds from state coffers to private entities. People are actively purchasing hotels now to turn them straight into DP centres. Don’t tell me that isn’t off inside knowledge and a promise.
I have not seen one Integration Plan come from Roderic O’Gormans departments on getting these people integrated and becoming contributing members of our society.
The Government are making a mess of this and are on a collision course with moderate middle income tax payers. The ones who get up at 5am and pay for everything!
Small businesses are being murdered, the tourism declining and the fabric of the country is rapidly changing. We are only 5 million people. Lately, I’m actually of the mindset that Leo and Roderic don’t really like this country for whatever reason and are looking at careers away from here.
The new owners are popping the forks on champagne bottles as we speak – the money hotel owners are getting paid is obscene, government throwing money like confetti at hotel owners !
Drogheda already has a lot of problems with non locals not to mention the drug feud which took a number of lives and now this ??…. Are Fine Gael strategically hitting towns or parts of the country where they are unpopular like Drogheda , Roscrea etc ?
Imagine the amount of vested interests we now have in keeping high levels of illegal immigration the norm.
I’m not big into conspiracy theory’s but I can’t help but feel like this is coming down from global elites -> politicians .
Can someone tell me WHY the government are doing this ? It can’t just be because they are sucking up to the EU ?
I really feel like there is an agenda .
I mean the Irish government don’t benefit from this , and us taxpayers are losing .
