The planting of 74 migrants at the Cashel Holiday Hostel in Cashel, Co. Tipperary has been “paused” Tipperary Live has reported after significant local resistance to the establishment of a new Direct Provision Centre in their community.
74 International Protection Applicants (IPAS) were scheduled to arrive at Cashel Holiday Hostel on John’s Street in the heart of Cashel town in Tipperary but has now been halted for time being following a meeting of over 400 local citizens to express their opposition to move last Sunday.
Local activist Liam Browne organised the meeting where locals angrily expressed their opposition to the establishment of the migrant centre but local Fine Gael Councillor Declan Burgess has claimed credit for the pause in a statement reported by Tipperary Live in which he stated:
“Thankfully, from my direct engagement with the Taoiseach I have managed to get a pause on this move. I wish to confirm there will not be any refugees arriving in the Hostel tomorrow morning”.
Across Ireland local and national resistance continues to the government’s agenda to create migrant centres in rural and working-class areas to deal with the never-ending stream of refugees entering the country due to open boarders policies and overly generous social welfare and housing system.
The ongoing mass migration into Ireland has been compared is the destruction of “national homogeneity” as the late Peter Sutherland described it when calling on the EU to use mass migration to breakdown the national identities of its member states, making them more acquiescent to a supranational state as the BBC reported in 2012.
