I believe in the rights of refugees, immigrants and the Irish but I do believe the government should have prioritised the housing crisis many years before we faced this crisis of mass immigration. I believe the lists should be checked and the children of this country should be prioritised, of any race or background children are always the future and they deserve a home. I think if our own housing crisis was looked at years ago and dealt with we would have a much stronger Ireland today. Which would have eased a lot of the tensions we have today. A stronger Ireland, stronger people and stronger community would have been more capable to help immigrants and refugees in need adjust to our culture peacefully. I believe the fascism and racism Ireland has seen towards this issue is at fault of the government, for the lack of support, education and facilities for children growing up in disadvantaged areas or homeless. More is also needed to help immigrants, refugees or asylum seekers to help them integrate into the Irish community and understand our culture and rights. Overall I do believe that they should be housed, but our government should be prioritising its own housing crisis before they take on another. Doing this would provide a more stable environment to help those in need from abroad.
