Asylum-seekers from the #directprovision centres in Emo in #Laois Monasterevin & Newbridge in #Kildare are working in meat plants in east Leinster, some legally (others illegally?)
The sector is reliant on migrant labour + low wages. #Covid19Ireland clusters are the result.

2/ Binak Cokaj was an Albanian asylum-seeker living in the Hazel Hotel #directprovision centre, a detail the media strangely omitted. The outcome of the HSA investigation into his tragic death is not yet known.

3/ While #Dublin Airport remains open, asylum-seekers/migrants continue arriving. No checks for #Covid19 No way to trace. But Ireland's #pubs stay closed, no foreign holidays, threats of more #lockdown. One rule for non-nationals, another rule for the Irish.

4/ Irish #pubs are irreplaceable part of our heritage. @DonnellyStephen closure order is unjust & anti-democratic while immigration shambles goes on.
