*”The men, who no longer had tents after the clearance operation on Wednesday, secured new tents at the Lighthouse charity on Thursday evening and, on the suggestion of volunteers – most of whom are women living in the Sandymount and Donnybrook areas – went to a church park on Thursday night. The small park is the property of St Mary’s Catholic Church on Haddington Road.”*
It’ll be interesting to see how things change if they manage to reside there on a longer-term basis. If I recall correctly there’s essentially never been any accommodation for asylum seekers in D4- it’s always been other parts of the country bearing the brunt. Will this foster a change in attitudes in the D4 class I wonder?
This is very close to Mount St. I’d imagine that’s why it was suggested. It’s safe, secure and hidden away.
So they go to a more affluent area and there’s no issues, local people even help them.
While I have been very critical of far right scumbags it does really look like if the government weren’t letting the country rot (leading to deprivation in lower income areas) maybe people from these areas wouldn’t be so easily radicalised by extreme political groups.
For the love of God won’t somebody think of the property values.
They’ve been in that park for a good few weeks now. Cut through that park when i go out for a walk on my lunch break
Theres been a tent there for a while. My only issue is the school right next to it.
Daily update on our cluster-fuck of a migration policy 😏
Vaguely related, I noticed when I went to visit the parents in Finglas the other day that there’s a decent amount of tents now at the m50 exit for Finglas. I wonder how many of these small encampments are just being moved ever so slightly out of towns
D4 instead of shifting the problem to D24…
Apologies up front for my ignorance, but are there toilet facilities? What are they using?
Should have the guards shift them around every night till they give up and go home
Are a lot of these from the UK ?
Can’t help but feel sorry for these people.
Government just consistently dropping the ball on this issue, a travelling band of goons willing to protest any attempts to help them, and stuck in a constant state of legal limbo.
