Killarney asylum meeting

Summary

Danny Healy-Rae said a requested meeting for a Killarney delegation about asylum accommodation had not taken place and asked that it be arranged. The Taoiseach said he would make the relevant Ministers aware.

Following a request by the people of Killarney, especially the Muckross Road, about the placing of 77 asylum seekers in 22 rooms in Harmony Inn, I requested that the Minister, Deputy O'Gorman, meet with a delegation of the people of Killarney. He responded to me with an email stating he would. However, this meeting has not taken place. Will the Taoiseach ensure the Minister, Deputy O'Gorman, meets the delegation because its members are concerned and want to raise their concerns with him. They are also concerned that another premises is being prepared for more people. Engagement is needed and I ask the Taoiseach to ensure the Minister, Deputy O'Gorman, meets the delegation from the Muckross Road and that area of Killarney.

I will certainly make the Minister, Deputy O'Gorman, and Minister of State, Deputy O'Brien, aware of that request.
