Our guest today is Paul Fallon, the Integration Support Coordinator in the Integration Support Service team at Galway City Council.
The Integration Support Service is a new service in Irish local authorities, with the Galway City team coming into place in March 2024.
The integration team provide support to asylum seekers and refugees as they integrate into their local area, including setting up on-site clinics at direct provision centres.
Paul coordinates the work of a team of four, who have a variety of backgrounds including social care and community development.
Paul has over 20 years’ experience working with asylum-seekers and refugees and a background in international human rights. He has worked in South Africa and Palestine, among other countries, and is now bringing this extensive knowledge to Galway City Council’s new team.
In this episode, Paul discusses the work of his team - which was primarily delivered through charities and NGOs previously – and the importance of the role of the local authority in supporting new communities in Ireland.
The ‘Galway City - Your Council’ podcast introduces some of the people delivering these services, and the valuable work they do every day in our city.

Cuireann an mheitheal imeasctha cúnamh taca ar fáil do dhaoine atá ag lorg tearmainn agus do dhídeanaithe de réir mar atá imeascadh á dhéanamh acu sa cheantar áitiúil, clinicí ar an láthair a chur ar bun in ionaid soláthair dhírigh san áireamh.
Déanann Paul comhordú ar obair cheathrair a bhfuil réimsí éagsúla taithí acu, cúram sóisialta agus forbairt pobail san áireamh.
Tá cleachtadh níos mó ná 20 bliain ag Paul ar bheith ag obair le daoine atá ag lorg tearmainn agus le dídeanaithe agus taithí aige ar chearta daonna go hidirnáisiúnta. D’oibrigh sé san Afraic Theas agus sa Phalaistín, chomh maith le tíortha eile, agus tá an taithí leitheadach sin á tabhairt anois aige chuig meitheal nua Chomhairle Cathrach na Gaillimhe.
San eagrán seo, pléann Paul obair na meithle - obair a bhíodh á déanamh den chuid is mó ag carthanais agus ag eagraíochtaí neamhrialtais go dtí seo - agus an tábhacht atá le ról an údaráis áitiúil maidir le bonn a chur faoi dhreamanna nua in Éirinn.
