Asylum seekers claim they are being treated differently to Ukrainian arrivals

Asylum seekers in a Dublin hotel claim they are struggling with their living conditions and are being treated differently to arrivals from Ukraine.

An asylum seeker from North Africa told the Irish Mirror they have to sleep on the floor and chairs in the Citywest Hotel and that they are forced to wake at 7am. The resident claimed arrivals from Ukraine are being treated in a different manner to those seeking asylum from other countries.

''There are special dining rooms for Ukrainian refugees," Adel said. "[Ukrainians] are normally transferred within a couple of days, while we get transferred in around six weeks."
