I'm doing a research project on second-generation identity and would love to chat with you.

Please share with anyone who might be interested - it would mean a lot 🙏

Reducing immigration unlikely to help housing crisis The bedrock of any Government's planning is demographics and the number of people living in a country and a reliable forecast for population growth are vital.

Nearly 1 in 5 construction workers in Ireland are migrants, about 20% of the workforce (RTE news).

Reducing immigration won’t solve the housing crisis.

We need to build more homes, not blame those building them. #HousingForAll #RefugeesWelcome

If our sector ceased to exist, we'd soon know about it. Our members shouldn't have to constantly make the case that they are worth funding. Our #Budget2026 submission calls for the work of members like @dorasirl.bsky.social  to be seen, valued, & properly funded. https://f.mtr.cool/jcfbtlcugk

A few weeks ago we welcomed Ella & Siona from Scoil Ide to learn about Doras for a school project. They spoke about classmates from different cultures, how despite differences, they all enjoy the same music, food & fun. Just kids being kids, united by what they share. A powerful reminder for us all.

'There's nothing like breaking bread to bring people together, be it pita, chapati, paska, or soda bread.'

Ministers accused of giving ‘half the picture’ on refugees as more than 40% get positive decisions Jim O’Callaghan cited 80 per cent refusal rate on ‘first instance’ decisions

According to data from the Department of Justice, more than 40% of people applying for international protection in Ireland get a positive decision.

Refugees who ‘enriched’ west Wicklow community with volunteering are to be relocated Up to 50 international protection applicants are due to be relocated from their accommodation at Tynte House in west Wicklow, much to the disappointment of Dunlavin Tidy Towns.

Relocations can be deeply disruptive for migrant families and the communities that have welcomed them. 💔

In Wicklow, locals share their heartbreak as the DOJ plans to relocate their neighbours, especially children who’ve settled into school and community life.

Congratulations on the new position! All the best 🎉

Ireland dropped 5 points on the Migrant Integration Policy Index #MIPEX Once considered one of the top countries for migrant integration Ireland is now considered a country with slightly unfavourable environment for integration.

Meet Bernadette, our incredible Volunteer Coordinator! For 4 years, she’s been at the heart of our volunteer efforts, going above and beyond in every way.

This #NationalVolunteeringWeek we celebrate and thank Bernadette and all our phenomenal volunteers who give their time, energy and commitment.💛

‘Disruptive, stressful and difficult’ – Closure of Ukrainian accommodation centres to impact 2,400 people The Department of Justice has announced the closure of over 30 Ukrainian accommodation centres across the country, in part due to what they term as a “reduced need” for such facilities.

Relocations are disruptive, stressful and difficult for children and families who’ve started to make a life for themselves within a community. They might have been in Limerick for the last two years and will be uprooted and moved to another part of the country. www.independent.ie/regionals/li...

Keir Starmer is wrong: You don’t beat the far right by becoming them If the British prime minister's speech on immigration was a response to the rising threat of Reform, it is a strategy that will not work electorally and could actually boost the success of the far rig...

Lessons for Ireland: "If people’s personal priorities are really the cost of living, housing and education, why is the government not focusing more of its energy on these things rather than scapegoating migrants?" www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/comm...

John Lannon heralds the call to be a ‘decent human being’ “ABOVE all be a decent human being.” This sound and simple slogan for each of us in our daily lives is an important one.

Standing up against what feels wrong or goes against your values, speaking out in the face of injustice - that's the principle Doras CEO John Lannon lives by, and the one by which he leads the organisation. www.limerickpost.ie/2025/04/24/j...
