Drogheda hotel to house up to 500 asylum seekers | Newstalk

The biggest hotel in Drogheda is set to house up to 500 asylum seekers from next month.
Newstalk's Chief News Reporter Barry Whyte went to Drogheda to get some reaction to the news from the local community. Barry explains what he heard, on The Pat Kenny Show.
The Tánaiste has said he understands the concerns of those protesting against the use of the biggest hotel in Drogheda to house asylum seekers.
The 113-bed ‘D Hotel’ is due to take in up to 500 asylum seekers from next month.
Local councillors have claimed the loss of the four-star property overlooking the River Boyne will “hugely affect” tourism in the town.
On Newstalk Breakfast this morning, Tánaiste Micheál Martin said he understands people’s concerns - but warned that the high numbers of asylum seekers arriving in Ireland has put the Government under “huge pressure”.
He said the Government must draw up clear guidelines regarding where new asylum seeker centres are located.
“I do understand their concerns because of the nature of this particular hotel in the heart of the commercial centre in Drogheda, yes, I do understand their concern,” he said.
“The Department of Children is under huge pressure because of the numbers now seeking asylum in Ireland.
“We have increased resources to try and fast-track and to try and process applications as quickly as we possibly can, but in January alone of this year over 2000 people came into the country seeking asylum alone.
“Now that's nearly double the average of what was happening last year, so we have a real issue and a real pressure point here, but I do understand the concerns.”
Consultation
He said the contract for the Drogheda hotel has already been signed - but said Government must take on board the opinions of local communities in the future.
“I think Government has to review and endeavour to develop guidelines in respect of how we intervene and where we locate [accommodation],” he said.
“My understanding is the contract has been signed, but I do think more broadly, we have to take on board what people are saying to us as well.”
Minister Martin also discussed calls to expel the Israeli Ambassador from Ireland and RTÉ’s appearance at yesterday’s Oireachtas committee.

    I knew the refugee group personally, helped with everything I could, even though we are not the wealthiest. Half a year ago, when I met a couple of people from the group, they proudly told me how it was going: they receive a payment, they can additionally work up to 19 hours a week while maintaining social benefits, and those who have already found a house for rent, their rent is covered by the state. The refugee woman has already SAVED 30k euros. SAVED!!! Meanwhile, we pay everything ourselves - rent, bills and I've never had a medical card... A smart refugee has already opened her own business, that is, they have money and a lot of free time, and so she opened a travel agency, for Ukrainians ONLY, because other countries also give some credits to those who's travelin from UA around the world.

Our land has been inhabited by indigenous Irish for at least 12,500 years that has been researched, however we have been dispossessed of our history that goes back further because historians apparently reckon tools found that were over 30,000 years old were dropped here by an ice sheet, which of course is a nonsense way of taking our history and ownership of this land away from us.

The original 500 will move on elsewhere and be replaced by the next 500 but how often on average is this happening? Even if was on average twice per year, in 5 years you have 5,000. What is the target? What is the limit? Does it ever stop? 20 years could be 20,000 or more in Drogheda alone.

Micheal Martin stated yesterday that a contract was signed. Leaving the bar and restaurant open was just a sop to the locals but they wouldn't go in there anyway. Leitrim CC have stopped a similar crime in Dromahair. It's before the HC now. I think the executive branch of our deviant government could find themselves out of step with the judiciary whose job is to protect the citizens of the Republic according to the constitution. The CC need a strong barrister to be in the HC in a few days. Get an interim injunction for non compliance with the planning and that will bring it to a head. Is it a hotel or a hostel? The impact on services, schools, dentists, tourism, taxis, everything will be detrimental to the town. Social unrest and serious crime is inevitable. The judge will have to take the hit publicly, if he tries to pervert the law with double speak. Put him in the hot seat and if he refuses, then hit the Supreme court with it. If that fails its time to take cover.

    Never in the history of Ireland's existence have we needed an election and a change of government so badly. After the Celtic Tiger era, take a minute to remember that Fine Gael romped home in the elections on the back of promises to undo the damage Fianna Fáil did in bankrupting the country. Christ Almighty look at us now. Our criminal justice system is a shambles. The HSE is a mess. Hospitals are overrun. Irish nurses leaving the country in their droves. The cost of housing and living has exploded. Tourism is suffering due to lack of accommodation. And clearly our immigration policies are being abused wide scale. Every single thing Fine Gael has touched in government is now in disarray. To constantly berate Fianna Fáil after the collapse and later go into government with them says a lot about the Fine Gael mentality. Untrustworthy and misleading.

I'm from Northern England and quite honestly working in Dublin back then saved me from the drudge of low paid dead end jobs in the north of England and set me up eventually to returning with a trade and some money in my bank. I have a lot to be thankful for and Ireland was a godsend. Loved the culture and people, and did my utmost to partake in stuff like GAA and feis. Went for a holiday in the north last year, after not going over for a few years, and was surprised just how much has changed for the worst.

    The hotel's contract is for two years. Now let's say each room's occupants/family are housed among the general community in four months. There would be six sets of occupants/families over the 24-month contract period to be housed. So, 500 x 6 = 3000 people would pass through this hotel over the 2 years, equivalent to maybe 113 x 6 = 678 housing units. Since, in time, they'll be bringing in other members of their extended family, those homes would have to be extra large (and have high-speed broadband like they'll be used to!). The HSE and schools will be further stretched as was pointed out. Things are moving at an astonishing pace and this country will already look different from today by the time of the next election.
