There's a call on the Taoiseach Leo Varadkar to ensure a strong NPHET-style approach to accommodating refugees.
Labour Leader Ivana Bacik's made the call, saying Government needs to do a lot more proactively to counter the disinformation and myths that are spreading.
It comes after a large anti-immigration protest was held outside Finglas Garda Station in Dublin on Wednesday night.
Deputy Bacik says the Integration Minister Roderic O'Gorman shouldn't be the only one managing the housing of refugees:
'We in Labour want to support Government efforts as much as we can.
We're very keen that there is a welcome shown in local communities.
We do think the minister for Integration should not be solely having to deal with this and we do think there should be a very clear support from other departments, especially the department of housing which is not apparent at the moment.'
