Ireland will take in a further 2,900 migrants over the next three years




Pictured above is Minister for Justice Charlie Flanagan personally welcoming migrants into the one-time holiday camp known as Mosney, Co. Meath.

It used to one of the most incredible holiday camps in Ireland or the UK but now Mosney is home to Syrian migrants and Nigerian migrants.

According to the journal, a new phase of the Irish Refugee Protection Programme will see 650 refugees settle in the country next year, 700 in 2021, 750 in 2022 and 800 in 2023.

At the end of December, the Minister for Justice Charlie Flanagan personally met with and welcomed 50 Syrians, roughly 11 families to Mosney in Co Meath and gave them the keys to their new accommodation.

As 10,000 of our own lie homeless in the streets, park benches and hotel rooms, Ireland has agreed to take in a further 2,900 migrants over the next three years.
