Ireland is already experiencing an unprecedented influx of asylum seekers, lured here by the government’s soft touch on illegal migration as well as its obscenely generous approach to accommodation and welfare allowances for International Protection applicants.
This crisis may soon dramatically worsen as the High Court heard on Wednesday that State should be doling out €318.53 per week to the 3,000 migrants it has failed to house, a number that is rising by dozens every week.
This was the argument put forward by Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission (IHREC) against the State and the IHREC is also seeking a declaration by the court that the State is failing to adequately provide asylum seekers with shelter, food and access to basic hygiene facilities on top of a weekly allowance The Journal reported.
While the State denies the allegations the IHREC is insisting that it is in breach of EU’s Charter of Fundamental Rights, the European Convention on Human Rights and the Irish Constitution.
The State’s ongoing plantation agenda, which has seen Gardai brutally suppress local protests in places such as Newtown Mount Kennedy and Ballyogan, already has anger in the country on the verge of civil unrest.
This case is expected to conclude on Friday June 7th the same day as the most contentious local and European elections in the State’s history and ruling in favour of IHREC could see the already sky high tensions rise even further.
