Housing Minister Darragh O’Brien has said that he is “disturbed” by protests that took place outside a Ballymun hotel accommodating refugees.
Roderic O’Gorman’s Department of Integration also condemned “any attempts to promote division and hostility”, as the Lord Mayor of Dublin expressed concerns that the “far right” were turning up at the demonstrations.
It comes just weeks after Minister O’Gorman admitted to the Irish Mirror that he has concerns about a “small hardcore [group] of far-right activists in this country”.
