Our once peaceful town of Miltown Malbay in County Clare is now in turmoil. My primary concern is the safety of our children, who are exposed to the growing chaos occurring right on our doorstep. With recent incidents highlighting the tensions between some refugees housed at the Central Hotel, it has become evident that immediate action is necessary to protect the tranquility of our community.

We opened our hearts and town to these individuals in the hope of providing sanctuary and fostering cultural integration. However, recent events have shown that a particular group is involved in disruptive feuds, posing a risk to the security and peace that our children and residents rightly deserve.

The past weeks have seen disturbances that have unsettled locals and brought unwarranted tension to our tight-knit community. Reports of feuding amongst some refugees have become increasingly frequent, further exacerbated by a lack of effective response from the authorities in addressing the root causes.

It’s crucial that we address this issue head-on. We call upon local government and relevant authorities to thoroughly investigate these disturbances and make the difficult decisions necessary to remove those involved in such menacing behaviors from the Central Hotel. Rehoming or deportation for those unwilling or unable to integrate peacefully should be considered as feasible solutions, ensuring that our community remains a welcoming environment for those who genuinely wish to contribute positively.

The safety of our children and the preservation of peace in Miltown Malbay are paramount. Join us in urging the local authorities to act swiftly and decisively. Let us stand together to ensure safety, security, and harmony in our cherished town. Please sign this petition and lend your voice for the protection of our community's future.
