Asylum seekers must move to new centre
The Reception and Integration Agency informed the residents they are to be moved en masse to Carrick-on-Suir, Co Tipperary.
A number of them have resided in Poc Fada for over a year. They have formed relationships with people in the wider Cork area. Some act as volunteer workers in the many charity shops in the city. Others have assisted me to open a dialogue with young people on the topic of immigration and its impact on the lives of the host country.
