How Ireland’s asylum and refugee accommodation system has reached breaking point

Sorcha Pollak speaks to Irish Times crime correspondent Conor Gallagher about a recent incident in Dublin, which saw international protection applicants forced to leave their temporary accommodation centre, after a local campaign of intimidation and criminal damage. We also hear from Fiona Hurley of NASC Ireland, the Migrant and Refugee Rights Centre who talks about the two-tier immigration system which is emerging and how certain accommodation providers are refusing to house non-Ukrainian asylum seekers.
