These teenagers arrived in Ireland in the middle of a pandemic and have had to get used to a new county under the strangest of circumstances, I spoke to them just before they went back to school last week and they were excited to get back to the books.
Since 2011, Ireland has accepted just over 3,000 Syrian refugees, and over a third of them are children and teenagers.

Increasing talk on this UL Confessions page about students potentially pitching tents around the campus due to the shortage of accommodation and, it seems, to make a point about the lack of rooms available to them. Their semester starts on Monday.
Lads, i feel like if someone actually got tent city properly organised, like portaloos, wire fence, lockers for stuff, and you occupied part of campus you could actually get a decent crowd living there
