Remind me who owns it now?
The ever expanding asylum system. Any plans around the capacity of the civil infrastructure to support this burgeoning population. Are there any parameters or is this just a racist question. I have no idea where we are in this anymore.
There’s fuck all remotely decent restaurants around Citywest retail park – these fuckers better not close the Asian fusion resteraunt in the Citywest hotel.
Is government interested in nothing but asylum seekers these days?
We’ve moved from direct provision centre to a promise of “own door accommodation”, back to direct provision.
Near 19,000 applicants in Ireland in 2024 is a shocking number. In total, IPAs are near 3% of the total population.
Is there anything to be said for another direct provision centre?
Need to pull the plug on this scam
Crazy stuff. What is the long term plan here or the end goal? Will they stay living in these hotels and such for good? It’s absolutely madness.
U.K. government with a population of 68.35mil and 14.8% foreign born talking about reducing immigration to prevent becoming a country of strangers.
Meanwhile our government speed running investing billions in accomplishing it. 5.3million population with 23% foreign born. No money for housing and infrastructure but plenty to pay private owners to perpetually house an endless stream of asylum seekers.
Man, it’s hard enough getting a seat in the LUAS in the morning as is…stupid full employment….
Big business! Lot of important people making a lot of money
Hopefully it will come with an upgrade the Garda staffing levels for the area. The whole Citywest area needs it’s own station.
What is the long-term play here from the state.
We’re currently spending over a billion euro annually just to house IPA’s in temporary accommodation. For argument sake, say the vast majority of IPA’s that are given the right to reside in the state will never be in a position to adequately support their own housing need so in the most likely scenario they’ll be seeking social housing.
The state is already spending close to one billion euro annually in funding P&A, which is the financial arrangement with Approved Housing Bodies used to finance the operational and maintenance costs of social housing units, add to that the billions it has spent on acquisitions and development costs since 2020 through AHBs and the billions spend by Local Authorities through the SHCIP funding scheme.
This is the single biggest issue that the current government need to get on top of, rather than doing the typical Irish thing of ignoring the issue, Denmark’s model has resulted in significant success and I’d be very much in favour of following suit.
The pendulum has finally started to spring the other way on immigration and people are speaking up. Up until relevantly recently people were very hesitant to entertain anti-immigration talking points.
The big shift happened in the UK with Starmer getting his arse handed to him in the local elections primarily because of Labour’s immigration policies. The big danger now is that as the UK police become more anti-illegal immigrant and start deporting people en masse people there who are at risk of deportation will flee here to Northern Ireland.
This country is just a few years away from following suit turning very anti-immigrant itself like the English. Politically speaking we have typically been a couple of years behind the English.
For better or worse this has nearly always been the case.
More counties need to be declared safe, we need to spend more money on speeding up the process and actually deporting the 80% not granted refugee status.
Okay, can we get more Luas times at the Saggart Luas then, that’s a lot of extra permanent capacity. Are they also buying the gym and spa?
