Number of male asylum seekers awaiting offer of accommodation has risen weekly for a number of weeks now, up to 2,454 this week from 1,700 last week
The number of homeless asylum seekers in the State has increased to 2,454, an increase of more than 700 on last week.
“Despite intensive efforts to source emergency accommodation the department is currently not in a position to provide accommodation to all international protection applicants due to the severe shortage. A system of triage of adult males has been implemented to ensure that those who are most vulnerable are prioritised for the provision of accommodation,” the Department of Integration said in a statement.
Activists supporting the estimated 170 men camping out on Mount Street said resources were running out, and the measures being taken by Government to deal with this issue were “reactive, temporary and ad hoc”. The situation outside the IPO was “now completely unsustainable”, volunteers and activists said in a letter to Minister for Integration Roderic O’Gorman last Wednesday.
