News broke on socials a month ago that Government had abandoned plans to accommodate so-called asylum seekers in Coolock so I don't know why it was only reported on yesterday. Maybe they needed time to figure out the spin. There does need to be some other mechanism for locals to oppose IPAS centres without buildings being set on fire several times before Government gets the message. The biggest issue is asbestos. While it's claimed the fires hadn't triggered any release, it's not worth the risk and it was completely reckless on public safety grounds not to kill any IPAS plans immediately after the first fire. The best solution is to hold a community vote for any proposed IPAS centre. Per a 2023 Red C poll, 40% of people wouldn't be concerned with a local IPAS centre so put them in their areas. If it turns out they were only bluffing to the pollsters, it's time to leave the EU and withdraw from any UN conventions imposing so-called asylum seekers on us. 👉🏻join Late Stage Ireland
