Clare Direct Provision Resident Calls On Government To Develop Urgent Long Term Plan

A resident of direct provision centre in Clare is calling on the government to establish a long term plan to cater for incoming refugees. It comes on the back of a recent fine of €1.5million for the state due to a failure to accommodate 350 migrants in the country. Under the terms of Ireland's agreement with the European Union, the payment will go towards housing the migrants in other EU member states. However, Bulelani Mfaco who is a resident of Knonckalisheen Direct provision centre claims the government need to take action for the inevitable increase in humans becoming displaced by war and climate change to come.
