Folks, this has gotten so much wrong press it is unbelievable. I work in the area, have done for over 30 years and work with people who have lived in the area their whole lives.
It’s incredible to read news articles all miss what’s actually happening by a country mile and all the quotes they are getting are from blowins from Fairview and further afield.
The people of East Wall have been taken for a ride and not a single notable local elected politician or councillor has come to any of their meetings.
There are no women and children of any noticeable size viable. I saw one woman with about 30 guys in the Lidl one day. All these men look very well fed and had no issue in raising the middle finger and laughing at people taking their photos as they originally disembarked the buses that brought them undercover of nighttime.
You simply cannot drop a grossly large amount of men in one fell swoop, unannounced, in the middle of settled commercial and residential area. Unpoliced this DOES lead (France, UK, Sweden..) to extreme social unrest.
It’s common knowledge that these refugee/asylum seeker groups are littered with people of I’ll intention. Putting it mildly.
There’s news from Wicklow, Killarney (and I think Wexford) of these bored individuals causing all sorts of trouble.
Everyone welcomes genuine asylum seekers. But they need to put to work because I am sure they want to aid the society in which they are being sheltered. Our streets would never be unclean and our public rubbish bins never overflowing if we put these men to work.
As for seperating the wheat from the chaff. Well, I am sure that’s why East Wall residents are up in arms because no one thinks the government is in anyway capable of accomplishing that procedure. If we had faith in the asylum process then they I am sure would be welcomed.
TL:DR- the media is reporting the whole thing wrong and there isn’t a politician or councillor insight.
“The man, who is working as a senior engineering technician, said he cannot go to work as he is “afraid to leave his wife on her own”.”
Grim stuff. Is he not allowed to rent or something? With that kind of money from a job like that you could afford no? I would be gone, sounds like hell in there
Reading that article, you get the impression the women and husbands of the married women are more scared of the other guests than the East Wall protestors. Sort of backs up residents concerns that you can’t drop 300 unvetted men into an area and not expect them to be worried about the safety of wives and daughters
At a minimum – what else have the government proved some semblance of competence at? Why would we invest much faith on the asylum matter?
Imagine being so afraid of foreigners you’d go to this length to stop them living in an area you have no connection to.
I’m surprised that the infamous photo that the right wing wheeled out during the Syrian refugee crisis hasn’t been used yet, the one with loads of men jacked up getting off a boat “It’s not fefugges, it’s an army” headlines… Sweet Jesus
I would bet the house that the people mentioned in the article (especially if they’re Algerian) have come in though the UK and most likely down from Belfast.
To claim asylum in this country it’s enough just to write “social issues” or “social problems” on your application.
Everyone with a brain knows that immigration and the IPO should be based out in the airport, not in the middle of the city centre.
When can we start building processing centres or accommodation in more upper class areas? I’m sure the progressive, right-thinking folk of Foxrock or Dalkey would be all too happy to open their arms to fleeing, fellow doctors and engineers.
Why isn’t this happening? You know why. Dump them into working class areas and then just lean on the usual tropes that they’re all knuckle dragging racist invalids when they complain. Pat yourself on the back for being so compassionate, safe in the knowledge of “they’ll never be in my fucking area”. Maybe throw in a spicy tweet or two about the national party or some shite for good measure.

they should go home then. Irish people have to lump it, you do too.
The department said that since January of this year there have been more than 12,300 international protection applicants arriving into Ireland. It said that in the 10-year period from 2010 to 2020 there were 3,500 such arrivals.
How bad will it have to get before the government admits this situation is outbof control?
“Living here is worse than being a caged animal”
It’s better than living on the streets like so many Irish are. Ireland at this moment in time is dealing with a housing crisis, A homelessness crisis, A hospital crisis and an increase in the cost of living. Ireland can’t take care of it’s own citizens nevermind taking care of refugees or asylum seekers.
had been living happily with “lots of privacy” for seven months at the Crowne Plaza Hotel
Wow. Just wow…
Get them on a boat back to wherever the fuck they camer from.
Shit, you guys too. As an Italian, welcome to hell
Can I seek asylum in another country and complain of lack housing and high rents in Ireland as the reason ?
One would think after Angela Merkel admitted this policy had failed and led to deep social divides that people would be more aware of reality, especially after police defined no-go zones across France and Sweden were developed. (Sweden, which had extremely low crime rates, now dealing with grenades on a regular basis).
Denmark has 10% more of their majority ethnicity than we do, and they have ghetto-classed zones. It is infuriating to see everyone asking for a source for this, that, etc. Look at how the rest of Europe failed to cope with this uncongenial system, and look at the present-day reality. Ireland had not suffered as badly and yet we bring it her by our own volition.
Can i just say this is a disaster of the governments making. there was no reason for use to be taking in so many Ukrainian refugees proportionally to the rest of Europe. and had they not allowed the housing crisis to get to the point that it is, we may have been better able to handle the amount of refugees coming.
But not as bad as living in a war torn country?
Its awful and i hope to god i never have to experience anything like this but we’ve definitely got a reputation as a soft touch internationally.
Can you imagine landing out in Africa or Asia or Russia in the morning and demanding a house and a job and load of money. They wouldn’t give you a sandwich or a cup of tea.
“Living here is worse than being a caged animal”
Get a better house or come back where you came from….
Its refugee accomodation, not a fucking 5 star hotel
You’re apparantly fleeing the worst conditions on earth so surely you’d be happy if you were really being truthful?
This sub/Irish twitter: The right wing are bad, we need to accept the refugees!!
Wait’ll you hear what these refugees leanings would be classed as…
And it’s great to see so many changing their mind on this kind of thing.
6 months ago every comment with concerns would have been branded racist or far right.
There’s no genocide or persecution going on in Algeria, why are these two nurses coming in through the refugee system? A refugee has a very specific definition. The two nurses mentioned in the article sound like economic migrants.

Send them back to Algeria no?
Fuel for an anti immigration party to come in.
Ungrateful cunts
