#Tipperary community protesting to keep Asylum Seeking families in the town they call home now- I’m reporting from #Borrisokane Drivetime RTE RTÉ Radio 1
For 10 years, MASI - Movement of Asylum Seekers in Ireland has been one of the most important grassroots social justice organisations on the island. We need migrant advocacy and internationalist solidarity more than ever. Support their 10th Anniversary Celebration if you can. gofund.me/e41fdb90
A big thank you to all who attended yesterday's Autumn Social Circle! We screened Jamie Goldrick’s short ‘Gaza Freedom Flotilla:When Governments Fail, We Sail’,heard an important input from Comhlámh Justice for Palestine member group about the #PassTheOTB’ campaign & had MASI - Movement of Asylum Seekers in Ireland mini fundraiser
10 years ago, asylum seekers at Kinsale Road Direct Provision Centre in Cork began a protest & locked-out staff for 10 days. And then we were born. On the 19th Oct, join us at for the MASI Conference at Trinity College Dublin as we mark a decade of resistance Tickets: eventbrite.ie/e/masi-confere…
No hot water for weeks and no adequate heating. Temperatures are dropping. Lowest was a single digit last night and we’re expecting a low of 5 degrees tonight Minister Roderic O’Gorman TD. How many times have asylum seekers complained about Kilbride Army Camp?
Roderic O’Gorman TD this is cruelty. Asylum seekers deserve hot water as much as anyone else. Kilbride isn't the only camp where running water has been or is an issue. #Trudder has had issues with water on 2 different weekends.
Leo Varadkar blamed Irish people wanting free housing and Irish family breakdown for rise in homelessness. Simon Harris TD is now blaming asylum seekers. 75 social houses were built nationally in 2015. 75! Homelessness is a product of FG housing policies.
This is completely untrue & is making our work as community builders so much more difficult, piecing together the mess caused by this Government. Really highlights how much they actually care about our areas. Pitting us all against each other. Disgusting behaviour Simon Harris TD
It’s been your government’s policy to funnel former asylum seekers into homelessness accommodation or be shipped off to a different county - away from their jobs, community networks and the like. Doesn’t magically make HAP rentals available does it Simon Harris TD ?
Anyone with a conscience who watched RTÉ Investigates last week would know that now is not the time to pour more fuel on the fire, yet FFFG are doing just that for cynical electoral purposes. Simon Harris TD Darragh O'Brien you are unfit to govern.
