Council to allay fears over ‘wet house’

The building, Clyde House in Alphonsus Street, has been used to house asylum seekers in Limerick for a number of years. It will now be run as a “wet house”, giving refuge to people with drink taken.

The Department of the Environment has allocated €12.6 million for the purchase and refurbishment of Clyde House. Asylum seekers, currently staying there, will be given alternative accommodation.
