Tipperary council is hiring Integration Team to help refugees, asylum seekers and migrants

Tipperary County Council is hiring a team that will assist refugees, asylum seekers and migrants to integrate into communities across the county.

Details about the formation of the new Local Authority Integration Team were outlined by the Council’s Director of Community Services Brian Beck at the December meeting of the council’s members in Nenagh.

He said the team comprising a coordinator and support workers will be established in the new year and will be based in Clonmel and Nenagh.

The team’s staff will help to link people to services and facilities in towns around the county. But they won’t have any role in relation to providing accommodation.
