Dublin Protest

Описание: In February 2022, a major international refugee crisis occurred following the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, with millions of Ukrainians displaced. Alongside almost all other European countries, Ireland accepted Ukrainian refugees fleeing the war; by mid-November 2022 over 58,000 Ukrainians had come to Ireland. November 2022 was also the beginning of the protests against the development of sites as temporary refugee shelters by the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (DCEDIY). Since the mid-2010s, Ireland has been experiencing a housing and accommodation crisis; the simultaneous overlap of both crises exacerbated each one: The failure to provide housing meant that refugees could not expect to find much accommodation in Ireland, and the arrival of thousands of refugees in Ireland meant further strains on housing and accommodation demands that were already peaking.

Protests at several locations in Ireland started in early November 2022 after the development of sites in various parts of the country as temporary refugee shelters by the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (DCEDIY), as it attempts to accommodate the influx of 65,000 refugees during 2022.

The protests raised similar concerns over refugee selection discrimination and the lack of provision of prior information to the original residents of the areas. Some protestors have questioned the lack of women and children among the first asylum seekers to arrive in each area.

The presence of anti-immigrant protestors, members of the far-right and criminals at these protests been highlighted online and in the media. It has received much discussion by politicians, including Leo Varadkar, the Taoiseach as of 17 December 2022, who said vetoing integration is "not right". There has also been debates in Seanad Éireann and a joint committee with Dáil Éireann.
