FG call for asylum overhaul

ASYLUM seekers endure squalid living conditions despite taxpayers spending €83 million a year on accommodation for them, Fine Gael have warned.

The party’s integration spokesperson Denis Naughten last night called for a system overhaul to speed-up applications and improve housing in order to avoid future “social problems”.

“The unacceptable conditions in which some applicants are being housed are only storing up social problems for the future.”
