Hunger Strike just ended and Nadim received assurances from his legal team after discussions with the Justice Department that he will not be Deported. Thank you everyone!!!
Hunger Strike Day 6. Doctors visited him today and told us he have 24 hours before his kidneys will be damaged. No word from Minister Heather Humphreys (FINE GAEL) who have the authority to grant Nadim leave to remain in Ireland on humanitarian grounds. He needs help urgently!
Hunger Strike Update
Nadim is still in Hospital undergoing more test after 9 days hunger strike in Cork. Today he had his first lunch and will overnight in the hospital. He is very grateful to all TDs that made representation for him and Protesters yesterday.
Video from asylum seekers of the dinner being served in plastic bags every day by the chef in Salt Hill DP centre in GALWAY. They complained to the management and was threaten that it will affect their case. The owners of this centre operate a hotel in Dublin too. Shameful!!

Nadim is in the Hospital and loss so much blood. More information coming soon. We have appointed a legal team to begin engagement with Minister of Justice and Nadim to call off the Hunger Strike to avoid further damage to his body. Sad situation!
Lunch for a family of 4 at Mayo New Direct Provision Centre. If it is not cruel enough they are sleeping in a Sports Hall. How is this value for €135/Refugee/Day. This contractor & the Department staff should be jailed for corruption. Not a fruit or vegetable for kids

This is the food that they served asylum seekers in Ashbourne DP Centre in Cork. If we talk the manager make us feel like ungrateful and told us to back to our country if don't like this food. We are depressed in this place.
The 13th Victim of Direct Provision in less than a year. Rest in Peace Hassan. He fled from Somalia for safety but was damaged by this brutal system of Direct Provision.
Lunch at Balseskin Direct Provision Centre in Dublin. The Contractor received close to 11 million euros last year for this food to asylum seekers. When is Minister Roderic O'Gorman (Green Party) going to close these camps for profits?
New border set up in county Clare to check passports of refugees entering the village. Just like how the Minister Roderic actions were deemed illegal by the high Court. The Gardai should jailed all these people blocking traffic on the roads. Check points by civilians are illegal
Same soup served 7 days in a row at the Address Hotel Direct Provision Centre in Dublin. That is €700 euros per refugee per week to have soup. Note: No food for kids.
The crowd is building. Over 700 refugees incarcerated in the Address Hotel in Dublin. The contractor receiving €700,000 a day and can't provide fruits for kids in their care. Also charging mother's €10 to do their laundry.

@rodericogorman
your department needs to protect refugees.
Today is another sad day in Direct Provision. A woman spend 8 years in Mosney Direct Provision Centre in Co. Meath and was found dead today. This is the 4th death in less than 8 months. R.I.P. Comrade ELAIKI.

I am in Ireland 3 months now.I was sleeping on the floor at City West, then moved to tents in Kerry and now in this building in Dublin. My mental health is damaged by this system. Is this how Ireland WELCOME refugees from Palestine? Pls help us
"We want them out now" this is the chants of this racist mob at the East Wall in Dublin. We spoke to a refugee in the building & he is in total distress & fear after fleeing Palestine. We need a strong counter protest with welcome signs soon.
"You don't get to be Racist & Irish"
We are deeply sadden by the news of the death of our comrade Jeffrey in Atlas House DP Centre in Kerry. This is the 3rd asylum seeker to died by suicide in 3 months. These camps were not created for humans
@DeptJusticeIRL
Why is the Management refusing to give his body to family?
Yesterday a woman died in the system of Direct Provision leaving 3 kids without a mother. We are lost for words how a person can flee their country and come to Ireland to be incarcerated to death in Direct Provision. If Ireland stand for Human Rights then Abolish Direct Provision
Sad news another asylum seeker from Tracey's Hotel Direct Provision Centre in County Monaghan died by suicide. He requested many times to be transferred but no answer from IPAS. How many more
@HMcEntee
? Close the camps for profits.

Dinner in Athlone new Direct Provision Centre. No spoon provided. Value €100 a day per refugee. If they ask for utensils or salad there are threats of deportation to Rwanda!
80% of Direct Provision Centres in Ireland don't have cooking facilities for parents in some of these centres between 5 to 10 years unable to cook for their children. This system is inhumane and brutal!

All Asylum Seekers moved from Red Cow Hotel (FLOOR) in Dublin to suitable accommodations. Thanks everyone for sharing and fighting for equality!
There is a woman in Direct Provision for over 14 years of 21 years of this brutal system. She is mentally drained from the pain and trauma inflicted by this system. The State has paid to contractors 30,000 x 14 years for her stay in Ireland to offshore accounts. DP is a failure!!
We are in City West Hotel. The conditions are improving since people start sharing on social media. We are still days in a room with strangers and children sleeping next to adults they don't know. While over the wall there are special rooms for people from Ukraine. Pls Help us
Dinner for a family of 3. How can a baby eat this food? The Government paying a hotel in Mayo €135 a day per refugee for this dog food. If they complain the Manager usually shout you will be deported to Rwanda soon.

Elaiki came to Ireland 8 years ago to seek refugee but was place in a brutal direct provision camp in MEATH and now dead.

The blockade against black and brown Refugees coming to Clare has ended. Thanks for everyone for calling out this racism. Ireland is better than these people hate.
Aramark are to receive a new 5-10 year €20m per year Catering Contract at Croke Park Stadium, issued by the GAA. Money trumps everything, not morals. Disgraceful.
