"Direct provision is the Magdalene laundry of modern times" we've heard this for over 20yrs, what is being done to put an end to it? I have lived in this system for close to 7yrs, I did not commit any crime, why I have to be subjected to years of incarceration remains a mystery.

A child born and raised in Ireland was deported to Nigeria last year, we will never forget.
It seems crazy to me that a New York cop who has never visited Ireland, but his Granny was born in Clare can get a passport vs a 10 year old kid born to Nigerian parents in Sligo cannot.

Someone said Ireland is being invaded by "social welfare migrants." Meanwhile, virtually all the sectors of the economy are powered by the labour of migrants while some of you go out there chanting."Get them out." You need to get in touch with your humanity. This is disgusting.
Locals say they want answers as to why “no women and children” refugees were moved into the area and that “adult unvetted males” arrived with no consultation. Protestors in East Wall have blocked the road outside building that housed refugees that arrived last night”

The naturalisation process will never cease to amaze me. You have to have 1825 days of "reckonable residence" in Ireland. The 8yrs I spent in Direct Provision doesn't count towards this. As it is, I have 413 days of reckonable residence, meaning I still have 1,094days to go🤷🏾♀️.
