Direct Provision residents moved to Dublin following positive Covid-19 tests
May 20, 2021
RESIDENTS of a Clare Direct Provision centre have been moved to Dublin following the detection of cases of Covid-19.
All 36 residents have left Clare Lodge in Ennis after some of them tested positive. They have been brought to the capital where they will be accommodated in individual rooms to prevent the spread of Covid-19. According to a source, some staff members have also contracted the virus.
Co-ordinator of the Clare Immigrant Support Centre Orla Ní Éilí told The Champion she is aware of the movement of the residents from the centre run by Bridgestock Care Ltd and believes this was the “correct practice” to ensure people’s safety.

Limerick s Live 95
Search By Live95 News Team Credit - Google Maps Limerick and Clare ETB s Local Creative Youth Partnership has launched its first Strategic Plan - one of only three national pilot programmes.
The plan identifies specific groups of young people to be prioritised in the establishment of creative programmes across Limerick and Clare.
This includes young people living in communities of socio-economic disadvantage, those living with a disability, migrant young people and those living in remote, rural communities, with immediate focus on communities in the Loop Head Peninsula, West Limerick and Direct Provision centres.
Limerick Youth Service, Clare Youth Service, Foróige, scouting groups and community and family resource centres are key collaborators to the project, as are Arts and cultural bodies across both counties.
This is despite repeated statements from the HSE that the scheme is not being discontinued.
RTÉ News has seen documents sent by HSE Community Healthcare West to 14 healthcare workers availing of the scheme in Galway.
RTÉ News understands that at least ten are asylum seekers, and most work in nursing homes.
In one letter they were told that as the accommodation scheme can cease at any stage they should now be making arrangements for alternative accommodation.
A follow-up email gave the healthcare workers until the end of last month to provide it with a date for when they would be exiting the scheme.
