Asylum seekers living in a hotel in Co Clare insist they feel safe and happy there - despite the blockade outside their door.
Protesters continued to block the road to the Magowa Hotel in Inch on Wednesday after Minister for Integration Roderic O’Gorman said he won’t close the accommodation - despite the protests.
Meanwhile, speaking to this paper from the blockade, local Fine Gael Councillor Mary Howard insisted that the protest is “not racist” and claimed it was motivated out of concern for the fact that there are no amenities in the area for the 29 remaining asylum seekers.
