Asylum centre food firm rejects criticism

A LEADING catering company last night denied claims it was providing poor quality and monotonous food to asylum seekers.

Some asylum seekers at a centre in Tralee, Co Kerry, have refused meals since last Saturday because they are not happy with the food being served.

Up to 24 adults and 40 children are staying in the Johnston Marina Hotel, Tralee, and one family of four said they were returning to Czechoslovakia because of the food.
