Then I went to meet @wjhayes who is the Minister of Tullamore Presbyterian Church in Co Offaly. Through their ‘Welcome Centre’ they are doing an important work in welcoming international migrants to the town. Working across such a broad geographic area is a challenge.

▫️ State has power to charge protection applicants since 2018.

▫️ Our understanding: it was deemed too complex to integrate different gov dept systems and ultimately an ineffective tool.
