The Government intends to put up refugees on sleeping bags and mattresses on the floors of large buildings, as available accommodation for new arrivals seeking asylum here has run out.
According to the Irish Times, Ministers have been asked to find “sports centres… conference facilities, arts centres, student leisure centres [and] any other large buildings that are deemed safe” in order to house refugees.
“What is needed are large halls where camp beds, mattresses, sleeping bags could be set out for people,” Minister for Integration Roderic O’Gorman wrote to all Ministers last night in a desperate plea for assistance.
