Apt quote at the end.
It's a good quote

Best I can tell is the dole thing is a signal to voters that we are no longer come-one-come-all.
It's optics more than it is policy.

People (voters) are pissed off with the tents, partly because it feels like no one's in control and there is no policy.

If we let fewer headers in from safe countries we'd maybe be able to do better for the actually deserving people under this system and the city wouldn't be flooded with tents. Or would have fewer tents at least.

We should be able to help the Iranian lad there and the Somali lady.
We have managed neither the system nor the people we let into the system. And we're failing everyone, and damaging our deomcracy in the process.

We've never done right by these people.
We all know what direct provision has been like.
We can barely do right by ourselves.

I have it from a very reliable source that the govt policy rn is to make Ireland no more nor less attractive than other EU countries to asylum seekers. ATM they feel like we're more attractive, so they're adjusting. Two examples of people ending up here at the end of a chaotic random journey doesn't mean that asylum seekers have no agency - if I was a refugee you can be damn sure I'd be seeking out the best place to go to seek asylum
