More information required. A tiny village that doesn’t have enough facilities for the locals such a permanent Doctor. Would worry me if this went ahead for the future of the village.

Not suitable for imposing undocumented prowlers in our community.

I spoke to a lady last night and she informed me that her child living in this community all her life was refused a place on the school bus to Glenamaddy community school because the bus is filled this lady has to drive her child to Glenamaddy each morning and collect her each evening and she lives approximately 8 miles from Glenamaddy we don't have resources for any more

Why would the government allow a contract for either cohorts seeking help to a designated deis and clar community under privileged area with no GP, public transport , lack of employment and industry. If so, they should be revoked

Transparency required as to use of building and impact to local community. Safety of local community and its own people / families is of paramount importance and this needs to be maintained/prioritised. Resources are limited and availability of key resources such as doctors etc stretched. Local community and its people need to be put first and properly consulted with. Drain on already stretched or limited resources should not be tolerated. #protectWilliamstown’sLocalCommunityAndHeritage. #GovernmentFailureToProtectAndSupportOwnPeopleFirst.

I am concerned about safety, ar night in particular, as this is literally next door to my house. Any concerns I have will come across as racist or, at the very least, uncaring to people who have lost everything. However, this village and that building are not an appropriate place to accommodate refugees/asylum seekers. To be honest, I'm furious with our government for allowing this to further erode rural Ireland and those that seek to profit off the backs of the unfortunate people that are being housed in towns and villages that haven't the infrastructure to cope. It's a no win situation.

As is happening all over the country disused buildings are being taken over and prepared to take either Ukrainian refugees or IPAS asylum seekers . There has been no consultation with locals and no indication of who this accommodation is for. There are few if any amenities in Williamstown. If its IPAS that are coming what are these undocumented males going to do to pass the time. putting up tri colour & Galway flags is telling us nothing.

More info required on the purpose of this building. Full consideration needs be priority for the community. How would it be to any benefit to the community in a small village where jobs, doctors and resources are already stretched?
