David Stanton, Minister Secretly Inserting “Refugees” into Small Rural Irish Villages, Ignores Alternative Solutions He Requested
Over five months ago, David Stanton, TD, Minister of State in the Department of Justice and Equality, responsible for Equality, Immigration and Integration, requested alternatives for accommodating refugees and migrants in an interview on Clare FM. This was during the outcry when the charming Irish village of Lisdoonvarna was faced with having 100 "refugees", equal to a third of their population, forcibly inserted into their midsts, despite having consistently said no to this proposal and voting unanimous vote for no. Genocidal David Stanton even admitted on TV that residents do not have a say. We sent the Minister a letter outlining alternatives, and despite having acknowledged receipt on 21st March, at both his official email addresses, we have still heard nothing. Indeed they continue to accept refugees in record numbers, without any transparency, whilst not deporting failed or false claimants further clogging up the system and exacerbating the problem.
