‘Stuck in direct provision limbo, but grateful and happy’

Children living in a direct provision centre performed a special dance as a way of saying thanks to local people in Macroom, Co Cork, who hosted a board games afternoon for them last weekend.

Members of the newly formed Macroom Action Group arranged for 39 adults and children to be taken by bus from Drishane Castle direct provision centre in Millstreet, Co Cork, to Fin’s Garden Centre in Macroom on Saturday where the event was held.

Chair of the group, Dr Angela Flynn, said a number of Irish families attended the integration event that was also supported by a number of local businesses.
