Department of Integration wants to loosen rules about which types of property can be used for this purpose
The Irish Department of Integration is seeking to expand temporary legislation allowing disused properties like banks, pubs, and equestrian centers to be used for asylum seeker accommodation, aiming to extend the exemption until 2032 due to rising asylum applications. The government hopes to stabilize asylum seeker numbers by 2028 and is prioritizing clear public communication regarding accommodation centers amid misinformation concerns.
