В опубликованном сегодня письме на имя премьер-министра, министра по делам детей, равноправия, инвалидности, интеграции и молодежи и министра жилищного строительства, местного самоуправления и наследия Ирландии Комиссар Совета Европы по правам человека Дуня Миятович выражает озабоченность по поводу проблем, с которыми сталкиваются соискатели международной защиты в отношении надлежащего приема и размещения в Ирландии.

Due to a severe lack of available accommodation, over 900 international protection applicants have been left in a situation of street homelessness over recent months, while families with children are often housed for extended periods in inadequate and overcrowded transit conditions. The situation, which occurs against the background of a broader housing crisis in Ireland, may contribute to a nascent anti-refugee sentiment across the country which has led to several worrying incidents.
In this context, the Commissioner calls on the authorities to comprehensively review and address the structural shortcomings of the international protection system and to develop a sustainable approach towards the accommodation of refugees and asylum seekers within the broader housing policy. “The scale and complexity of the prevailing reception crisis calls for a whole-of-government approach”, she writes.
