Open Letter Stop the Eviction of residents in Emergency Direct Provision Accommodation

To IPAS, The Department of Integration, Department of Housing and City and County Councils, CATU and MASI demands the withdrawal of eviction notices by IPAS and the provision of suitable accommodation and wrap-around support for people being threatened in direct provision and emergency accommodation. Hundreds of people are being threatened with eviction this month. They have been told to leave current direct provision accommodation, uproot themselves from their communities and move across the country, or potentially end up on the streets. CATU Ireland, will defend our members from evictions, discrimination and mistreatment by the state and private landlords. We demand that IPAS: 1) Withdraw the eviction notices immediately. We also demand that the Department of Integration, Department of Housing and City and County Councils engage with CATU as a union and do the following: 2) Organise suitable alternative accommodation which is agreed by residents. 3) Provide wrap around mental health and community support services for every resident.

Ironically it's the same bureaucracy they used to isolate and other those in #DirectProvision and also the same reason the Nazis isolated the Jewish people. Isolation, othering and bureaucracy means you can do what you want to people and nobody will care. The book I'm reading by Bauman on the holocaust is both depressing and enlightening about how systems like the civil service can easily be utilised to harm portions of the population.

Spent a good chunk of my life in Lismore. Family friends had a place there so we would go there for summer holidays. It is in some ways an odd town. But I wouldn’t change my time there. So it is heartening to hear that the community gave the far right short shrift for all their concerns about the use of the hotel. #ireland #refugees #directprovision

"In this piece, I address the structural nature of Irish state violence and how the Green Party converted progressive support into a positionality of dealing out this violence themselves."

With direct provision centres overstretched, the govt should do more to support people who want to move out, some say. Currently, people waiting for asylum decisions lose all kinds of assistance – not just housing – if they find alternative accommodation.

With Direct Provision Centres Overstretched, the Government Should Do More to Support Those Who Want to Move Out, Some Say

At the moment, people waiting for decisions on their asylum applications lose all kinds of assistance – not just housing – if they find an alternative place to live.
