Ballinamore residents protest over plan to house asylum seekers (21Oct19)
The small Leitrim town of Ballinamore is now on a collision course with the Department of Justice, after residents began what they say will be a continuous and peaceful demonstration outside an apartment complex in the town where it is planned to accommodate 130 asylum seekers. The organisers said the protest would continue until the Government listened to the people on the issues surrounding such centres. An initial protest was held outside the complex last night when people walked from what was described as a private community meeting on the issue.
Spokesman Gordon Hughes said that there were more than 350 people at the meeting and a mandate was given to a number of local people to speak on behalf of the community. In a statement, the newly formed Ballinamore Community Group stressed that their town had been known for many years as the friendly town, which had always welcomed visitors and new residents to the area with open arms. However, the group expresses grave concerns and complete opposition to, the proposed re-housing of 130 asylum seekers in an apartment compound in the town.
While the group said it was fully aware and supportive of the Government's commitment as part of the EU to accommodate those who would seek refuge from war, famine or persecution, they feel that the proposed resettlement of such large numbers of people in such a small community is completely disproportionate to the needs of both the asylum seekers and the community at large.
With a population of 914 people, the group says that the numbers of people being considered for Ballinamore exceeds 15% of the population, when proportional norms around resettlement is recognised as being between 1% and 2% of the local population.
Mr Hughes said that there has been no public consultation on the matter.
We call on the Department of Justice to halt these proceedings immediately, to listen to the people of Ireland and to re-evaluate its policies on provision centres across the country.
