Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth Roderic O’Gorman has announced details of the Governments comprehensive accommodation strategy for International Protection applicants.
The strategy document reveals that by 2028 Government aims to have up to 35 thousand beds within the IPAS system-broken down as follows:
| Accommodation offering breakdown by 2028 Accommodation Type | Bed Capacity | Ownership |
| Reception and Integration Centres and Accommodation Centres, at national standards | Up to 13,000 | State Owned |
| In-Community Accommodation for vulnerable persons, at national standards | Up to 1,000 | State Owned, operated in partnership with NGOs. |
| Contingency Accommodation, at national standards | Up to 11,000 | Commercial Providers |
| Emergency Accommodation | Up to 10,000 | Commercial Providers |
According to Minister O’Gorman new reforms will see a move away from reliance on private providers, with 14,000 beds becoming State-owned beds by 2028.
This will quadruple the previous commitment under the White Paper on Ending Direct Provision.
The Minister says this will be supplemented, as required, by high standard commercial providers. It is the intention of this new strategy to end the use of unsuitable accommodation options currently relied upon, such as the sole hotel remaining in a given town.
Accommodation in the new strategy will be delivered through the following multi-strand approach:
- Use of State land for prefabricated and
- modular units
- Conversation of commercial buildings
- Targeted purchase of medium and larger turnkey properties
- Design and build of new Reception and Integration Centres
- Upgrading of IPAS centres.

An awful shame they won’t be around then to complete it. Shame none of them put the same effort into housing the Irish homeless.
My thoughts exactly James . Why couldn’t our own homeless in the depths of poverty be provided for and in particular our own vulnerable children. It’s amazing what the government can do when they want to . Therefore they could have helped our own homeless for all these years but simply just didn’t want to & still don’t want to !
Jaysus Laura, they are awful pieces of shit in fairness. 💩💩💩
But manure fertiluses the soil. Please do not insult it
Will they quickly fill the beds and then issue a full house notice and put any new applicants on a waiting list like the do for the Irish who have been waiting for years for social housing? Not this crowd of politicians.
Judging by the gript article last week, they will use any excuse to kick the Irish out of council houses for illegals. Just saw that pos Barry Andrews say there are no open borders. Another bag of shit to kick out. SF and ff arguing on virgin Media even though they support open borders. They still think we are stupid.
We have the most open borders in the western world. Anyone can pop in, totally paperless and remain for life. If we opt into this new migrant pact we are swamped. Please lobby all politicians to opt out.
Treasure Ireland
big profit business for rich but they forgot to ask the people who elected them there permission, if they want mass refugee influx😠
They did not “forget”. Check out Sutherland and Enda
So instead of doing what needs be done by immediately closing or borders or at least bringing in a system where only a limited amount of asylum seekers are let into this country every year, their going to spend even more countless millions building accommodation centres up and down the country so even more asylum seekers can come here. It really is enough to make you want to cry at this stage.
It really boggles the mind. Why the hell are they choosing this direction?
Totally agree Charlie, can’t for the life of me figure out or understand why this is being allowed to happen, it makes no sense no matter what way you look at it. One thing is guaranteed, If it keeps going the way it’s going with more asylum seekers coming into this country than there are irish people being born, the day will come when we will be a minority in our own country.
Read Buddha’s and eah’s posts. The situation is bad. This is part of a permanent plan that’s agreed and deeply entrenched. Done by stealth. They only told us at the last minute. They will be brought into these buildings, all structured and permanent. For a start we must lobby hard against the new migration pact, TDs all politicians. Most Irish people don’t know what’s happening. They are harmless and no good. People like me who do realise what’s happening have no support. We are on our own. We should be on a mass protest banging for Irish rights but most people just look at ya harmlessly when you mention the pact. The Irish are pure idiots, that’s why the government is riding them high.

The verb you used was very appropriate
I agree with Mr. McGuiness. It’s a disgraceful fact that we’ve spent close to half a billion in 2023 on refugee and migrants services, and that none of this effort has even been expended on our own homeless and afflicted. These politicians are no longer governing in the interests of or with the consent of the Irish people.
This is the ‘asylum’ / international protection scam moving from ’emergency’ status to being made permanent, for all time in Ireland.
A permanent settlement on an industrial scale from the developing world and into this country.
Roderic is here announcing the fixed infrastructure they’ve come up with to facilitate the EU’s Migrant Sharing Pact.
This is a voluntary agreement – Ireland DOES NOT have to sign up to it, clauses in treaties and existing agreements were made to this effect.
Get on to RTE, Virgin Amateur Media, your local radio stations…etc, and ask why they aren’t highlighting this. (Tell RTE this is why they aren’t getting the licence fee)
Get on to your local reps – TDs, Councillors and MEPs – and candidates for these roles.
Tell them that the votes they want are dependent on their speaking out loudly on this issue – and DEMAND that Ireland avails of its OPT-OUT, and that your household will play their part in seeing that they are wiped out electorily if they are half-assed about it or stay silent.
This is the most urgent thing that is happening in this country – if this is allowed to pass, the mass-migration into the country of the past two years becomes increased, regularised, fixed, perennial and permanent.
If you think what has happened to your town now is bad, imagine it ×10.

Please I suggest you refrain from voting for Profit before Puberty or Sinn Feign And in particular anti social undemocratics
Unbelievable.
I mean, I realized the situation was bad years ago — still I did not realize back then that it was just the start, that soon you would have politicians all over Europe for whom actually caring about their own people seems secondary — instead they spend a lot of time and energy trying to make sure there is enough ‘bed capacity’ to accommodate infinity foreigners, seemingly never thinking about obvious questions like ‘Is this ever going to end?’, ‘How much longer can this go on before my country is unrecognizable?’, and maybe even ‘Since we’re a democracy, perhaps we ought to ask the citizenry if they want this?’

Don’t worry about the larger countries. We will go down faster because we are the tiniest country. We are going already. The other countries have right wing parties and are gaining ground that way. We are in a dictatorship, with no large party opposition and no right wing party, which means nobody at all to fight for us. They feel more insecure than they let on, very insecure, look at how Varadkar capsized. They were planning and scheming these buildings without telling us until the last minute. We have to fight back. For a start we must commandeer some of the asylum buildings for our own homeless. At least two moderately sized blocks. First we must get this mindless migrant pact stopped. Action is necessary. Not fooling around complaining.
I do not know whether signing petitions achieves anything. However there are online petitions for a number of current issues. Some worry it might be a form of data gathering. Decide for yourselves
Fuck no.
A solid growth industry for suppliers and politicians
If the claimants whose applications were rejected, were deported hastily – the beds for newbies would even out.
They aren’t deported when their claims are found wanting – they’re getting moved into all those flats and lego housing getting built everywhere.
It’s a conveyor-belt system that only runs in one direction.
Easiest way to deport is cut benefits
Yes, cut benefits.
The greens got 3 or 4% of the vote in the last general election & they are dictating anti Irish , anti democratic dystopian policies . It’s massively reduced IP applicants we want . These people are not refugees , they are illegal invaders . If the government signs off on this then they are effectively admitting openly that we are not a democracy as they know the people don’t want this .
Green tail wagging the dog
And still most people can’t see the “21stcent. Plantation of Ireland”, even as the evil treacherous state spells it out for them in black n white.
They can see
I just met a mate of mine who is homeless. He’s was with his partner going to the soup run. Both Irish.
I’m genuinely going to start looking into leaving this hellhole. It is being destroyed.
Terrible about your homeless friends. I feel so sorry for the young Irish starting out. But do stay another while, keep on speaking out, we need your voice. Most Irish are apologists, they will not speak out. People from other countries do not understand why the Irish are so shy. What we need to do for the Irish homeless, is to act like the Land League of old. We need to commandeer accomodation laid out for their refugees and say, no, that’s for the Irish. I hope we get enough anti immigration candidates, elected to have the power to do this.
What about all the other facilities that will be required, like hospitals, schools etc. Read the horror story today about Limerick university hospital and that will give you an idea of the nightmare that will be a reality in every town. And all you liberal clowns won’t escape this either.

Should O’Gorman not go back to those dictating and suggest other countries take their fair share first?
No.
Because the whole thing is bollocks –
This – the Migrant Sharing Pact – is to create a guarantee that Ireland takes a percentage of immigrants arriving in Europe via the mediterranean and the Balkans. Which we are – at present – under no obligation to do.
The EU are telling Italy and Greece they can’t send them back or deny them entry, with threats because this is actually untrue (see Hungary).
So they promise those countries that they’ll create a legally binding framework that will force other States to take them.
Ireland at present is not bound by any agreement to take these migrants (but has been doing so since 2021, after the lockdown – and most are being ushered in, not arriving independently).
It has a legally agreed right of Opt-Out for the scheme
Roderic’s announcements here aren’t about managing the current situation.
It is about making it permanent.
I.e. – every year, tens of thousands of migrants arriving, calling it ‘asylum’, getting processed and allowed to permanently remain. If it speeds up the process, all that means is that they will be moved into permanent housing quicker and more moved in to their vacated places in the govt. asylum centres that O’Gorman is announcing.
Fuck-all will be sent home.
And the rate of migration will increase exponentially because the system has been regularised – it is basically a beacon call to the developing world to migrate to Europe.
If we Opt-Out, we don’t take them.
If the government opt us in, we take an E.U.-determined percentage, annually, forever.

As long as radicles rule the country we are screwed. Its as if they get together for drinks on Friday and decide how they can piss off the ordinary people of Ireland for a laugh. If they are voted in again Ireland is ruined ( more ruined than it is already)
