Mixed views on resettlement of Syrians in Roscommon town

The resettlement of families fleeing war in Syria has stirred up disagreement in Ballaghaderreen, Co Roscommon.

County councillors held a meeting yesterday about the decision to house potentially up to 200 Syrians in a hotel in Ballaghaderreen.

Fine Gael senator Maura Hopkins, a Ballaghaderreen native, wants a number of questions answered about the resettlement plans.
