woody2 Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 2 minutes ago, Declan said: This place? Quote In researching this article, I spent three days at Mosney. I had to advise security when I entered and when I left the camp. The three days revealed that some women were engaged in prostitution while others were involved in crime including drug dealing.Most of the people I met in Mosney claim they paid human traffickers large sums of money to assist them in fleeing their own country in the hope of finding a better and sometimes safer lifeelsewhere. As each asylum-seeker and refugee arrives, they are advised to apply for a medical card, to which they are entitled. They also receive clothing allowances and other payments which are funded by the local health board. Of the 11 families I interviewed at the camp, all had a baby under 12 months of age and most made it clear that their youngest child was an Irish citizen. The day the mothers leave the hospital, they collect top-of-the-range buggies, child seats and other equipment needed for a new born baby. Ten of the families were headed by single parents who had fled their own country. Many hope that theirhusbands will join them here soon. It is obvious that they are frustrated and annoyed. "The sooner I get out of this prison and am given my own house the better," said one woman who has two children and has spent 11 months in Mosney. Her application for refugee status has yet to be considered. A lot of the residents refer to Mosney as a prison. One young woman from the Ukraine had to flee her country because she married a Nigerian man. Her father wanted her dead because she married a black man who had different religious beliefs and he arranged for locals to carry out her murder. She is a graduate and taught literature before she had to flee her country. She wants to teach in Ireland, but after a year her asylum application has not been dealt with yet. She has a nine-month-old baby, and speaks to her husband every three months. Like most of the residents, she has a mobile phone and he can contact her on that. Another woman I met from Moldova is here with her husband. He is working in the building trade in Galway. She admitted he has no permit and added: "That is why he works for a small wage." She went on to explain that many men and women work in various jobs without permits and the people who get them the work know they do not have work permits. Another woman seeking asylum is a young widow who left Kenya after her husband was killed in a car crash. When he died, her in-laws blamed her for his death and vowed to kill her and take her children. She had no protection as she was from a different tribe. She has been here for a year and she has a six-month-old child. As I walked along the rows of chalets, a man called me and asked if I was writing a story on Mosney. He wanted to talk. He told me he was Nigerian and became irate, like a man waiting for a fix: "You write this in your fu***ng paper, we are only treated like s**t because we are black." He refused to give me his name and then added: "They feed us s**t, I won't eat it, my children eat it, but I won't. The fu**ing place is like a prison and they give us f**k-all money." Looking around his large chalet, I noticed that he had added many modern comforts to his temporary home. While he was shouting about his life and how difficult it was, to my amazement he took what looked like €1,000 from a drawer, placed it in his pocket and left, calling back: "Print what I said in your fu**ing paper." As I left his chalet, one woman from the Congo told me: "Don't mind him - he sells drugs on the site and also in the town, he is a trouble-maker, be careful of him." In one of the newer chalets I met two ladies who seemed to share the accommodation. As one smoked a joint, she explained to me that she had been refused her application for refugee status but was now going to appeal. This process could take another 12 months. They complained that they were not given enough financial assistance, yet when I asked how they could afford the wine (four bottles on a shelf beside the sink) and the joints, they said some of the girls worked some nights in town to earn extra money. I asked if they had permits and they laughed, saying they did not need permits for the kind of work they did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
