Thread: Delighted to hear that the men living in the Central Hotel Miltown Malbay are getting the transfers they needed and the place is being closed. All credit to the men themselves, and the Welcome Group who stood in solidarity
To @masi_asylum for helping the men there to unite and speak out, to @DorasIRL for backing them up, to journalist @lornasiggins who's been writing about this since March and to @ShamimMalekmian for her story today announcing the news.
We can do better than abandoning vulnerable people in out of the way places and forgetting about them. My great respect to the women in the welcome group who put the men's wellbeing first before their own standing in their community.
Thanks to all TDs and Senators who raised it too. Now for direct provision itself.
