It may be that the decision to stop locating accommodation centres in parts of the country takes the heat out of anti-migrant protests. But given the victory they have just been handed, I wouldn’t bet on it
The Irish government, responding to "local and political feedback" after arson, violence, and threats by the far right against asylum centers and personnel, has decided to stop opening asylum centers in certain areas. This decision is viewed as a tactical victory for anti-immigrant groups, demonstrating that violence and intimidation achieve political aims, despite the government's potential hope that this will diminish the far-right's political influence.
