Asylum Seekers Sleeping In Tents In Icy Clare

Irish Refugee Council Shocked

The Irish Refugee Council says it's shocked that dozens of asylum seekers have spent a third night sleeping in icy conditions in tents in County Clare.

As the country continues to freeze - there are calls for urgent action to remove the remaining applicants to more appropriate accommodation.

The Refugee Council's CEO, Nick Henderson, says the tented accommodation was erected as a short-term measure last September - and it's appalling to leave people in these conditions now.
