I have a friend who has ms. She works full time and earns just enough not to get help paying 1800 rent and after bills she has around 600 for everything else per month. She has zero family support and is genuinely worried what on earth she is going to do if she can’t work. She spoke with the ms society and there is no additional social net for housing. I would be holding the government to account to help people in similar situations to her. As opposed to economic migrants using loop holes.

We have binding EU obligations to provide reception conditions (including accommodation) for asylum seekers and at the same time there is no enforceable right to housing for homeless Irish citizens 🙄

Being overrun by economic migrants pretending to be refugees will end up with Ireland and wider EU being pushed so far that we will end up with no asylum route for anyone, including actual genuine asylum seekers.
Such a disaster of the government’s making

Government funded NGO takes the government to court . You couldn’t make it up . Maybe we should be spending another couple of billion a year to fund mass migration

The irony of this from IHREC is that if they get the ruling they want; the fallout will blow up in their faces. It’ll create an even more hostile environment for asylum seekers

The laws were written for a time where there were no low cost flights between nation states. It’s ridiculous that an economic migrant can be given more rights to housing than a person who has paid tax all their lives and contributed towards society.

Wait till we see how bad this truly gets with
1. The UK now implementing seriously strict asylum laws
Not to be one of those people, but if they can hear an appeal over the states failure to house asylum seekers, surely theres some mechanism to appeal their failure to house “everyone else” as well?

2. EU migration pact burden sharing – we accept 30k migrants annually as part of it or pay a couple hundred million.
