Dublin South West Sinn F\u00e9in TD, Se\u00e1n Crowe, officially opened Novas\u2019 Bellevue Children\u2019s Home and Haarlem Court Apartment Complex.<\/p>\n
Deputy Crowe said:<\/p>\n
\u201cI was delighted to be asked to open Novas\u2019 new children\u2019s home and apartment complex.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Haarlem Court apartment complex comprises of eight two-bed apartments, which are special needs social housing units with all tenants coming from the South Dublin County Council lists. Some of the residents were formerly homeless, others have children with special needs or have physical disabilities themselves.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Bellevue Children\u2019s Home is a six-bed service for unaccompanied asylum-seeking children entering the state. It is the only service of its kind in the State.<\/p>\n
\u201cEach year 70 to 80 unaccompanied minors enter the state seeking asylum and we are all aware of the horrific situation in the Mediterranean, where hundreds of children have died trying to reach acquire refuge in the EU. Ireland needs to play its part in providing refuge to children fleeing war, famine, and oppression, and these services show positive leadership from civil society.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis service is a beacon of light for vulnerable people, it is a good news story\u00a0that all the local\u00a0and national politicians are extremely\u00a0proud of.<\/p>\n
\u201cWell done to everyone associated with this fantastic\u00a0and much needed development.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
