Support for project welcoming refugee family soars after anti-immigrant activists hijack Waterford meeting
The group leading a project to bring a refugee family to live in their community says there has been a groundswell of support from the locality despite the hijacking of their information meeting by anti-immigrant activists earlier this week.
Lismore Welcome Project is the second group to form under the new Community Sponsorship Ireland (CSI) initiative which aims to help refugee families avoid long spells in direct provision.
