  6. I’m just gonna call a spade a spade here. The only person this sounds like good news to is O’Gorman.

    There’s practically very little support for getting rid of DP from the general public, and because of the governments complete incapability to build its own houses – every house given to an asylum seeker in the community, after being housed in their 6 new fancy hotels, is one denied to an Irish person.

    Direct Provision is shit, but it wouldn’t be so shit if it actually worked as intended and isn’t log-jammed by a bunch of fraudulent arseholes clogging it up with appeals.

  7. O’Gorman hasn’t a clue, he keeps shiting on about the white paper report like it’s some magic bullet to end Direct Provision while numbers at the minute are going through the fucking roof. The centres he keeps talking about are years away at best. The Government really need to put up or shut up on this, either you restrict people coming in and enforce deportations or you let people come in and provide them with services.

    The current model for DP is an absolute shit show that O’Gorman will walk away from and blame his failure on the very department he’s running. Numbers of people arriving during covid we’re down to single figures on a daily basis, THAT was the time to get stuck and try solve this mess.

    He conveniently omits that his department is also sourcing accommodation for all the Ukrainians coming in aswell not to mention IRPP so you effectively have 3 different sections within the same department scrambling for accommodation and competing with the homeless services and local housing authorities.
