Second protest takes place in East Wall after 'male-only' asylum seekers housed in old ESB building

A second protest took place in Dublin this evening after male asylum-seekers were housed in an old ESB building in East Wall.

Hundreds of residents, who took to the streets, said they were not consulted about the decision and revealed they only found out what was happening through social media on Friday evening.

Demonstrators temporarily blocked traffic on the East Wall Road during the protest which began at 5pm outside the old ESB building where up to 380 people can be accommodated.
