In a troubling development, over 3,000 international protection applicants in Ireland lack accommodation for the first time, as temporary placements are terminated. Since halting accommodations for male asylum seekers a year ago, the situation has prompted criticism from the Irish Refugee Council, which highlights the state’s failure to meet legal obligations for basic needs. The upcoming weather forecast raises concerns about the safety of those forced back onto the streets. Calls for immediate government action to rectify this humanitarian crisis are intensifying.
