Aodhán Ó Ríordáin TD ‘does not recognise Dublin anymore’ due to racist atmosphere and far-right misinformation on migrants
The Government recently stated it would accelerate decisions on international protection applicants. The International Protection Office is being given more staff and it is envisaged decisions on applications made by people from safe countries of origin would be made within three months, rather than 17 to 24 months, as has been the case until now.
Mr Ó Ríordáin said he was aware of a leaflet being circulated, with the Rialtas na hÉireann name and logo, in parts of Dublin informing households “girls should not be out after 6 o’clock” because of the dangers posed by migrant men. He wondered where the Government’s leaflet was to counter that information, like some of the literature circulated to inform communities during the pandemic.
