Irish Government faces backlash for considering requiring asylum seekers to contribute to accommodation costs.

The Irish Government faces backlash for considering requiring asylum seekers to contribute to accommodation costs. Advocacy group Doras argues that if this proposal moves forward, asylum seekers must have access to essential services, which they currently lack, such as child benefits and education grants. CEO John Lannon highlights that many asylum seekers live in poor conditions, including converted warehouses and tents, as noted in a recent inspection report.
