#Refugees are not the problem. They are not even a factor in what is an #accommodation crisis. This affects everyone and if you are standing outside a hotel or #DirectProvision you are there for some other reason than an accommodation crisis.

Spent a good chunk of my life in Lismore. Family friends had a place there so we would go there for summer holidays. It is in some ways an odd town. But I wouldn’t change my time there. So it is heartening to hear that the community gave the far right short shrift for all their concerns about the use of the hotel. #ireland #refugees #directprovision

"In this piece, I address the structural nature of Irish state violence and how the Green Party converted progressive support into a positionality of dealing out this violence themselves."

With direct provision centres overstretched, the govt should do more to support people who want to move out, some say. Currently, people waiting for asylum decisions lose all kinds of assistance – not just housing – if they find alternative accommodation.

What exactly is direct provision? Been hearing a lot about it online so that's why I'm asking. #directprovision #irishpolitics

Highly recommend the new film from Frank Berry #Aisha it's a pretty good window into #directprovision in Ireland, the acting is top notch, Josh O'Connor can do a pretty good Irish accent too, Letitia Wright is absolutely brilliant !!

Abolish Direct Provision are a group run by people who are or have been in direct provision who run a number of brilliant campaigns and they’re always looking for volunteers from the general public

https://www.directprovision.org/

There some great opportunities to volunteer at this time of year. They run a campaign to give and wrap presents for every child in direct provision. There’s also a winter coat drive. #RefugeesWelcome #DirectProvision #Ireland #IrishTwitter
