People leaving Direct Provision / IPAS are told to find private rental accommodation through HAP. However, with almost no rentals available, they are then assessed as homeless and placed into the 2nd highest priority bracket on @corkcitycouncil housing list — ahead of long-term applicants who still have some type of roof over their heads. This is how the system actually works - correct me if I am wrong. (Not blaming individual IPAs by the way)

✍️ Jack Horgan-Jones
Homeless services, including the Dublin Region Homelessness Executive (DRHE), have said large numbers of people who previously lived in direct provision have presented as homeless – including 1,758 people having left international protection accommodation in the last five years.

👇👇THIS #Aramark are also one of the main suppliers of foods to #DirectProvision who have contracts worth millions with @HSELive...hmmm #NoCleanHands
Confirmed today by the CHI CEO that it was Aramark who gifted CHI the €30,000, admitting it was wrong to originally accept it.
Aramark, the same company that is fleecing parents of sick children in the hospital shops.

A nice fluffy propaganda piece but if this family were several years in #DirectProvision as the article suggests it's probably because they had their application for asylum refused & they appealed. So the basis for them being here was based on a lie. irishexaminer.com/news/munst…

If she was three years in #DirectProvision then her application for #Asylum as refused and she appealed. Incidentally she could have left DP at any time, no one is forcing her to have free meals, free medical, a free bed and free education redfm.ie/cork/woman-says-she…

Today, we stood with our members in Ocean View in Tramore, as they and their families were threatened with eviction!
Tonight, they continue to be able to stay in Ocean View, instead of being out on the street 💪

Hmmm.., so minister says Ireland isn't a “soft target”, but what about Roderic O’Gorman's 2021 promised own-door or own-room housing within 4 months for asylum seekers? That pledge was never officially retracted, so it still shapes real-world expectations

Creating Safe Learning Spaces
This panel explored the impact of trauma on students’ behaviour and learning, focusing on interventions that create inclusive and safe #learningenvironments.
Ann Swift and Aoife Connaughton discussed the evaluation of the Nurture Programme in @EducateTogether schools. Innovative Nurture Rooms were created for students:
"This is the only place I want to talk and you’re the only one I want to talk to."
Dr. Annie Cummins and Dr. Judith Butler @MTU_ie presented the #ShamrockModel of Trauma Informed Practice, which helps children co-regulate with adult support, equipping them with tools for self-regulation over time. Dr. Cummins emphasised the historical trauma in schools and highlighted that:
"We have state-imposed poverty for people living in #DirectProvision."
Eithne Nic Domhnaill and Anne Hayden shared their inspiring work in #Darndale, where Trauma-Informed Practice extended from the school into the community through collaborations between the local boxing gym and community centre.

I am curious to know that of all the groups running, many running for charities like cancer and children's illness, you choose to mention #asylumseekers, when the vast, vast majority have been found to be abusing the #DirectProvision system with false applications ?

ALT Our member Jane is being evicted during a housing crisis. Show the strength of our union and member solidarity by partaking in our phone & email picket today!
ALT WHAT’S HAPPENING? Our member Jane is being evicted after residing in Birchwood House Direct Provision Centre for almost 2 years. She has just 7 months left in her Applied Healthcare studies at SETU, but IPAS is trying to evict her and send her to homeless accommodation in Donegal. She will be forced to leave her studies, her job, and her community. IPAS is trying to use ‘divide and conquer’ tactics to individually evict thousands of members around the country.
ALT OUR DEMANDS At CATU Waterford, we have just 1 demand for Birchwood House and IPAS. Allow Jane to stay in Birchwood House for 7 months, to give her time to find new accommodation and to finish her studies.
ALT PHONE & EMAIL PICKET Please help Jane and all of us at CATU by contacting Birchwood House and IPAS over Email and Phone from 9am tomorrow, Thursday 17th October. Please also come to Birchwood House in Waterford City (X91 PY0Y) at 3:30pm tomorrow to help show community support and resist the eviction of our member Jane.
