Asylum Applications
Dail Éireann — 2022-07-05
============================================================

Aindrias Moynihan (FF), Cork North-West

I will focus on the non-Ukrainian people coming from many other areas.
There is a system for dealing with Ukrainian people seeking assistance but there are people coming from so many other different areas. Has the Minister identified why there is there is such an increase? Is the UK's decision on Rwanda having an influence on this and has she found the root cause because that would be significant in dealing with and handling the issue?
Accommodation was already a significant challenge for people. What measures are going to be in place to ensure there is satisfactory accommodation for people coming in so that they will be accommodated in a dignified and humane manner while their applications are being processed?
