Irish Refugee Council Marks Two Years of Homelessness for International Protection Applicants - 08/12/2025

Recently the Irish Refugee Council Marks Two Years of Homelessness for International Protection ApplicantsNick Henderson, CEO of the Irish Refugee Council, said:“Today is a grim milestone: two uninterrupted years of the policy of non-accommodation of people seeking protection. Since 4 December 2023, people are forced to sleep rough, at real risk to their health and safety, to demonstrate their need for accommodation. This is a policy that Minister O'Callaghan has the power to end today.Over 10,000 people have been refused accommodation since January 2023. Around 3,100 people have been refused accommodation so far in 2025.Nick Henderson joined us on The Agenda this morning to talk to us some more about this. Hosted on Acast.
