Lisdoonvarna division over an asylum seeker direct provision centre. Families of people with disabilities are rebelling over a new system which demands that one of them is in the home at all times while HSE carers are there. State backed sub prime morgage scheme, why the department of finance have objected.
The number of people arriving in Ireland seeking asylum is on the rise, existing accommodation centres are almost full. What happens when the town selected for a new centre says no? In Lisdoonvarna in Clare, a vote was taken and some residents opposed to new accommodation centre.
A new rule introduced by the HSE, Loco Parentis which is causing huge stress for many carers. Put simply this new rule means that when a carer has a nurse or substitute professional in their home, they have to stay in the home too. How are they meant to have a well rested break?
The first time buyers scheme has been opposed by the department of Finance and Public Expenditure. Fine Gael TD, Noel Rock and Sinn Féin TD, Eoin Ó Broin have a chat.
