Temporary housing refers to short-term accommodations provided for those without permanent residence, in this case to support immigrants and refugees as they settle in a new country. Proponents argue that increasing temporary housing offers humane and stable support for newcomers, easing their transition and helping communities manage arrivals. Opponents argue that expanding temporary housing may strain public resources, affect local housing markets, and that other solutions may be more sustainable.

If Immigrants and refugees are 2% of the country population, then they should get 2% of the housing ect.
@B2989JB3wks3W
I believe that the government should start taking care of it's own residents first as there is still an issue with homelesness and a major housing crisis in Ireland and taking in refugees is only raising taxes and causing more problems
@9ZXTP4W2mos2MO
They should create legislation against vulture funds to end the empty home problem and use those instead.
@9ZWQMMC2mos2MO
The government should increase temporary housing to accommodate their own people first such as the homeless or low income families
@9ZWFMTL 2mos2MO
We need to find a way to balance the housing of immigrants and refugees with our own housing crisis. One shouldn’t be put over the other. Both Irish citizens and immigrants should have the right to affordable and suitable living conditions.
@9ZWBBFX2mos2MO
Yes as long as there is enough affordable housing for those who are already living in the country first
@9ZW57PD2mos2MO
Shelter should be provided but people who have been living in Ireland for a long period of time or Irish citizens should have priority.
@9ZW4CM62mos2MO
I think Ireland is a ready providing a lot of housing however I do believe Ireland d should make the system more efficient and provide refugees with sufficient notice if they decide they don’t want to house them in that area anymore and provide them with other options
