The government has spent almost €500,000 per WEEK to house migrants in beautiful hotels in 2019




It’s hard to report on, it really is. There’s 10,000 Irish men, women and children homeless in Ireland and the government appear that they obviously couldn’t care less.

The Irish State has disgracefully paid hotels and guest houses on average more than €460,000 per WEEK until the end of September to house the endless number of migrants flooding into Ireland in emergency accommodation.

New figures provided by Charlie Flanagan, the Minister for Justice, shows that the spend on emergency accommodation from January to the end of September totals €18 MILLION, or an average of €462,046 per week.

Recently Fianna Fail’s Jim O’Callaghan said Irish people should take migrant families into their own home and paid to do so.

Meanwhile, it’s understood that a new migrant direct provision centre is set to open in Leitrim in the next couple of weeks.
