East Wall office block refugees 'cried for four days' when they arrived

Refugees living in a former ESB office block have told Dublin Live of the "nightmare" their lives have become since they moved in.

The single woman and mother could not stop crying for four days straight when they were first moved in as they couldn't accept the horror they were landed in. The East Wall refugee centre has been the focus of a controversial protest which has resulted in the Port Tunnel and other major arteries in the city centre being blocked off.

The East Wall Committee are calling for the centre to be shut down because it is "intolerable" and "inappropriate". However, local residents previously told Dublin Live they were "embarrassed" by the protest which many claim has been infiltrated by far right elements.
