Seems there is some political issues slowing down some of the movement here, I mean on top of other things you have the basic fact that to come to Ireland there is a lot more transport required for these people, not only is it moving from one country to the other but Ireland is an Island away from the main land Europe, based on http://www.irishtimes.com/news/politics/ireland-asked-to-take-only-20-asylum-seekers-under-eu-plan-1.2501402 story also a lot fo the refugees are being told by their smugglers not to apply for relocation into deeper EU as they could get turned back home, not sure what smugglers have to gain, but would think it's a basic idea that if they stay close to the border there is a chance that the same smugglers would get another oppertunity to take money from them to cross the border again if they could get it.
As for what Zero said though here in Ireland we have a thing called a National Housing list which prioritizes families and families with children above those who are single or just couples, what is offered for those is a thing called rent allowence whereby the government pays a portion of your rent while they actively look for accomodation for those in need of it, I'm guessing that if Zero is on a list waiting for a house he would be in reciept of this which would pay a large portion of rent (over 60% normally).
I've never personally had to use that portion of the Department of Social protection here in Ireland but from my understand and information from friends of mine who have, they said that while it's somewhat slow to have your application sorted (often in the 2 month region) they do back pay anything which you would have been entitled to back to the day you applied, so if you are eligible you will get your cash back from it. The DSP here is fairly good at looking after citizens tbh, both Irish ones and those from other EU member states at the very least.
