Yesterday.
Cahersiveen, County Kerry.
irate shopper asks for assistant to be quarantined following a cluster of Covid-19 cases at a nearby hotel housing Direct Provision residents..
Around 100 people were moved from centres in Dublin to the Skellig Star Hotel in March.
Direct provision residents and locals call for centre closure (RTÉ)
Meanwhile…
Direct Provision is a two decade long for-profit human rights offence that continues because of support from our political establishment.
This letter from FFG to the @greenparty_ie does not inspire confidence that ending Direct Provision will happen anytime soon. https://t.co/4LSmwfDAoL

Maybe they can quarantine Kerry instead
isn’t that where you want to send unemployed dublin folk, rob?
The quarantine can begin once all the howyas have arrived, of course.
Surely Quarantoohil? Keep it even more local, like…
V good, Matt :)
Places is full of Dingle Ber…
What is DP to be replaced with, free gaffs? Would you ever go and ask me… Repatriate failed asylum seekers. Simple process.
I was going to point out to you why what you suggest is heartless, inhumane, and devoid of thought. But I doubt you’d take any of it onboard. So instead I’m just guna tell you a silly. I don’t think it’s a case where you don’t realise your lack of empathy, i think you wear your heartless silly badge with pride. Only conjuring up the noo noos to air your silly opinion on the internet. You wouldn’t say this to strangers in bars or whatever, because when it comes down to it I think you’ve the hallmarks of a coward. I think you’re a weak and sad person.
Dr. While I’d agree with your sentiments as regards asylum seekers that are genuine, the phrase ‘failed asylum seekers’ above puts another perspective on it. There are reasons why some asylum seekers fail in their applications. And that needs to be tackled.
Which part do you dismiss as “heartless, inhumane, and devoid of thought”.
I’m assuming not the “free gaff”.
Which leaves “Repatriate failed asylum seekers”. Hmmm… if we don’t do this then what is the point of having an asylum process? We might as well just immediately accept anyone that applies to asylum; give them the right to live here and work… and put them on the housing list.
One of the previous posts is “devoid of thought”.
Cian, having an immigration system that doesn’t have a category called ‘economic migrants’ is completely devoid of thought, when it’s been clear for decades that the principal motivation to come here is for economic reasons. instead, everyone gets shunted into a system that asks them to prove they are at risk of harm in their own country. this makes it significantly harder to accommodate genuine cases who seek asylum here.
direct provision, as a consequence of our immigration laws is indefensible. it’ll be the subject of a tribunal in the next 10 years i bet.
I’m in agreement with Scottser and Cian
@scottser.
We do have an immigration system for ‘economic migrants’. Anyone can apply for a visa to work here. See http://www.inis.gov.ie/
There are 100,000s of ‘economic migrants’ working legally in Ireland.
Repatriate knuckle dragging racist scum back under the rock they crawled out from under. Give their houses to asylum seekers.
The Director of Public Prosecutions can make her own gaffes, thank you very much.
I think if they’re going to maintain this covie charade, there needs to be consistency. A nineteen year old – from Ballymun (easy pickings) is currently in custody, without bail for wandering the streets, and I hear no outcry.
This lad?
“18-year-old Karl Byrne of Termon Court, Ballymun, is accused of laughing in a Garda’s face when he was asked the purpose of one of his journeys…..
He’s also accused of being in possession of up to €5,000 worth of drugs and of having drugs for sale or supply.”
Must be great time to be a drug dealer in fairness
All the scobies with excess free money and all the civil servants as well at home scratchin themselves
Sure, Mart. What about all the TDs who gave themselves a ‘work from home allowance’?
Ok, they’re public servants, not civil servants. Point taken
They didn’t – this claim was invented from whole-cloth by a Sinn Féin TD, and lapped up by their gullible supporters.
No Bertie, definitely not that lad. I did say he was 19. I’m not sure that it’s okay to give his name here.
Going to be hard to get any outcry if you won’t even give his name isn’t it.
why not? if it is in the media already – link to a news source.
Any relation to Jason Byrne? Scrub that, there was laughter involved…
Disgusting individual.
Ah here BS, not you too eh….
Anyone using ‘Karen’ like this is a gobpoo >_<
And no, I haven’t watched the vid.
As someone on twitter suggests, perhaps Áine instead.
We’ve all known an Áine like that.
Have u a name for a black or Asian person too? Just don’t do it, imo.
Why don’t you lay out your actual problem with the post then, instead of being offended by the use of a name.
Not offended, just think it’s hypocritical and cringey all the way up to 11 :)
Aw, you don’t have to be so PC Clampers.
Boom boom!
Can I just jump in – you’re too woke Champers, I’ve absolutely no idea what the problem is, whoosh over my head
I didn’t take you for a Karen, Clamps!

i tells ya now millie, that wan is a dearbhla. look at the big, judgemental dearbhla head on her.
bloody dearbhlas.
Siobhán.
She’s another wagon.
Reader, I married her.
never met a nice Martina
what about the Orlas?
every one of them: biiiaaaatch
Are you even allowed to play camogie or teach primary school if you’re not called Sinead?
sinead’s are usually carrying a fair bit of timber though
Skinny jeans, Converse and a hoody invariably.
Ha haaaa.
Assumpta too
Saoirse does my head it.
Well
I do find it a bit gobshithawkery that the lady
whatever her name is
actually steps closer to the customer she’s cribbing about as she goes on
And I would give that Staff member a hug
If I could
Also, I think Broadsheet were damn right to post it up here
It at least lets everyone see what Retail Staff are dealing with during the restrictions
Some way to treat an Essential Worker that’s most likely on Minimum Wage
So thanks Broadsheet
She was making a very valid point.
that she could have made either from a Distance
Or when the customer she was cribbing about was done with her buisness and left the premises
Ah would you give over midderin Mary
She wasn’t rude or obnoxious
People are very nervous and on edge these days
I didn’t see anything wrong with what she said but my new BFF here Pee Pee did!
So was Karen right now that everyone agrees the Dept of justice made a balls of this?
