The recent comments made by Minister for Justice Jim O'Callaghan highlight a broader issue in government policy: the need for more joined-up planning across departments. It seems decisions on housing, migration and service delivery are disconnected from one another.
🧵1/6
If the Minister’s concern is social cohesion then supporting effective migrant & refugee integration into communities & the workforce must be at the centre of his policies, instead of measures that violate Ireland’s international human rights obligations & divide communities. 5/6

Stellar article by Keire Murphy @EsriIreland:
"Migration is social, because humans are social. We tend to migrate to where we know people. We know this from our history: Irish people tend to go where Irish people have gone before."

We need humane & sustainable policies, not stop-gap measures that punish vulnerable people.
