Nasc strongly condemns suspected arson attack at proposed direct provision centre in Rooskey

Nasc strongly condemns suspected arson attack at proposed direct provision centre in Rooskey

Nasc strongly condemns suspected arson attack at proposed direct provision centre in Rooskey

“This should be treated as a hate crime,” says Nasc CEO Fiona Finn

A fire which broke out last night in Rooskey at a hotel earmarked for a reception centre for asylum seekers is reportedly being investigated as a suspected arson attack.

This is the second fire to occur at a hotel which has entered into a contract with the Department of Justice to house asylum seekers while their protection application is being assessed; the first was in Moville, Co. Donegal at the end of November 2018.

“If it is found that the fire in Rooskey was caused by arsonists, it should be investigated and prosecuted as a hate crime,” states Nasc CEO Fiona Finn.  “Whoever did this does not speak for Irish people; they are fostering hate and intolerance.”

“We know that the vast majority of Irish people are aware of what’s happening globally and at Europe’s borders, and that Irish people are by and large sympathetic to the plight of people forcibly displaced and seeking protection in Ireland,” continues Ms. Finn.

“The only way to combat this kind of intolerance is to treat it with the severity it deserves.”

Government must find alternatives

“It is clear from these attacks in Moville and Rooskey, and from some of the community responses in Wicklow Town and in Lisdoonvarna last year, that the Government’s procurement methods for identifying and establishing new asylum centres are not working,” continues Ms. Finn.

“It is well past time that the Department of Justice seriously considered alternatives to the privatised ‘direct provision’ model for the reception of asylum seekers. Direct provision is not fit for purpose.  A privatised model does not protect and promote the human rights of residents, but more importantly in this context, it means no one takes any responsibility for engaging with communities and ensuring resource needs are met and integration is fostered.”

“Communities do not feel like they are being consulted, there are concerns about the distribution of resources and locating large capacity centres in small villages in remote areas.  On top of that, a few individuals are fostering hate and intolerance and inflicting hate crimes on these small communities – this damages everyone.”

“We feel for the communities where this is happening, where they feel legitimate concerns are not being listened to and illegitimate concerns are allowed to fester and intensify.  But even more so, we feel for every asylum seeker around the country today, who has woken up to the news this morning feeling scared and isolated,” finishes Ms. Finn.

“This is not the welcome we are known for.”

Corraglass, Co. Fermanagh - _, Contae Fhear Manach

Mullaghdun, Co. Fermanagh - _, Contae Fhear Manach

Drumcolgny, Co. Fermanagh -_, Contae Fhear Manach

Ballyshannon, Co. Donegal – Béal Átha Seanaidh, Contae Dhún na nGall

Finner, Co. Donegal – Fionnabhair, Contae Dhún na nGall

Ballymore, Co. Leitrim – An Baile Mór, Contae Liatroma

Rooskey, Co. Leitrim - _, Contae Liatroma

Drungan, Co. Leitrim - _, Contae Liatoma

Aghavogill, Co. Leitrim - _, Contae Liatoma

I think the names of some of these places may be one of the best things about the project, and I for sure want to include them in my book, because there is nothing quite more Irish than incomprehensible place names. 

And then the Gaelic is always interesting, to me at least, because the place names always have a literal meaning in Irish. Such as Cliffoney, which in Gaelic is Cliafuine, which means “hurdled thicket”. And Derrygonnelly, which in Gaelic is Doire Ó gConaíle, which means “O'Connelly's oak grove”, whoever O’Connelly is. Then there’s Belleek, which in Gaelic is Béal Leice, which translates to “mouth of the flagstones”. And Ballymore, which in Gaelic is An Baile Mór, which means “the large town” - ironically, Ballymore is not a large town at all... maybe by Leitrim standards. And Belcoo, in Gaelic, Béal Cú, which translates to “mouth of narrow water” or “mouth of narrow stretch/body of water”. Even the counties’ names have meanings; such as Fermanagh, which in Gaelic, Fhear Manach, means “men of Manach”, “manach” being old Irish for “monk”. And Sligo, or Shligigh in Gaelic, means “bounding in shells”; it’s a costal county. And Donegal, in Gaelic, Dhún na nGall, which means "fort of the foreigners".

Welcome to our Adventure

Speaking from experience, there are 2 reasons why you might be spending your precious time reading my *new blog;

1.You’ve been checking us out and were curious of who we are before you decide to book a stay. (Very smart by the way) Or...2. You’ve already stayed at Heron's Lodge and you had such a fantastic time you simply feel the need to stay close to us, even though your stay ended ages ago.  Don’t worry, we never forget a face and yes, we miss you already!  

Whatever the reason, I’m over the moon. As it allows us to take an extra step and really show you why Heron's Lodge one of the best places to stay in Ireland. And by us I mean Jody & John. But, before all that, let explain how Heron's Lodge came to be self catering holiday home. Some 20 years ago, my Dad, John has a crazy mid-life crisis and decided to buy a plot of land in the middle of the rural Shannon countryside (we all thought he was going mad).  He had an idea that we would live mortgage free and enjoy the beautiful country, friendly locals and amazing golf and fishing that the area had to offer.  With only a caravan in the middle of a field, his adventure began. Over time this 4 acre patch of grass was developed in to a beautiful 7 bedroom house, an additional 2 bedroom cottage, a double garage with living quarters and finally a huge, man-made lake stocked with beautiful Carp. Our family home was complete! Now, too big for Dad on his own.  He prefers the cosy quarters and we get to share the beauty of Heron's Lodge to other families to enjoy, as we once did and still do when we all get the chance to come together for a big old family knees up! We love a Sunday night pint at Weir Lodge listing to the live music with a fish & chip tea after, taking the kids to enjoy Loch Key Forest Park zip wire and tree top walk or the short drive to Sligo to enjoy the spectacular Glencar waterfall or just messing around on the beach.     We hope you can join us and enjoy some of these sites and more, and make memories that will last a lifetime.

You can check out more information on our website or sign up to our VIP List to get our very own guide of the Top 10 Things To Do In County Roscommon. Lots of love Jody & John Rous
