Report by Irish Refugee Council says Government has ‘reneged on its obligations under Irish and European Union law’ in not providing their basic needs
Tents of homeless people and asylum seekers being removed from the banks of the Grand Canal in Dublin. Picture: Enda O'Dowd“often increase the risk of violence” for homeless asylum seekers, showing “little empathy” for them, moving them on repeatedly from campsites and failing to respond to threats of racist violence, a report published on Monday claims.
Volunteers, predominantly women residents, were surveyed online, recruited from closed WhatsApp groups. Volunteers told of fundraising and spending their own money on food, clothes, tents, ground-mats, tarpaulins, bedding, shoes and hygiene products. They carry out casework, advocacy and linking IPAs with services. Most had caring responsibilities at home, as well as work or education commitments.
Among the report’s 22 recommendations are that gardaí receive training on IPAs’ rights, the Department of Children open 24-hour drop-in centres for homeless IPAs, and homelessness for IPAs end.
