I've met today a woman who lived in Direct Provision. I fully understand why the topic is put that far away from the public discourse as possible.

However, I'm all in for actions against this vile system.

People Before Profit welcomes people seeking international protection to Galway.

People seeking asylum are due to move into Ballybrit in the coming weeks. Our branch is ready to work with others to give them a warm Galway welcome.

We have confidence that the people of Galway will refuse to be swayed by malicious actors who want to deflect our anger away from the government and landlord class onto other ordinary people.

This Saturday I marched with People Before Profit Galway alongside the Galway Communities Against Racism and Discrimination network in solidarity against racism and discrimination. We're stronger together.✊

Racism must be challenged in all its forms, including govt policy.

Why don't they have access to cooking facilities and fresh food instead of miserable canteens? Because the Direct Provision system is set up to create profits for those that can get government contracts to run the centres, this includes US company Aramark that also own Avoca so please boycott them, thanks! #EndDirectProvision #IrelandForAll

@sinabhfuil will the Greens retain enough seats to be useful to SF? I’d much rather see a rainbow coalition than a SF/FF coalition but it’s all about the numbers - I suspect that the Greens are going to have a tough run of it at the next GE.

And for the love of the gods, whoever gets in next needs to #EndDirectProvision tout bleedin’ suite. I can’t believe we are STILL warehousing vulnerable people in for-profit camps in 2023.

Its very difficult for the men as they have been moved from temporary accommodation to another and are likely to be moved from tents to another temporary facility Minister @rodericogorman@twitter.com. #EndDirectProvision

Never bothered with a #introduction here... computer guy who likes to snark at things, supports diversity, and (when not fundamentally broken) runs a bit. May post pictures of cats being cats. Be nice to your admins. Use content warnings (if in doubt: use one.) Support your local instance - check the server About page for tip jar etc.

I generally don't feel strongly enough about things to follow hashtags, but #EndDirectProvision #SanctuaryRunners

Forever suggesting ways to make people's lives harder than it is. Focus on building houses and not come up with more ways to exacerbate an already volatile situation. You think I'm nt frustrated being in DP for over 8yrs? I'll move 2mrw if I find a house 2day #EndDirectProvision https://twitter.com/BulelaniMfaco/status/1582104851357798400

This also applies to people of colour. The fear of people who are not wyt, has always been used to Other, deny dignity & deny human rights.

This also happens in Ireland we are not immune to racist hate and fear stoking.

On this #IDAHOBIT2022, we recall this decision by the International Protection Office in the @DeptJusticeIRL, rejecting an asylum seeker because she wasn't ashamed of being bisexual. Be extremely queer and proud af!!!
