TD admits Galway direct provision meeting had 'some very troubling comments'

Independent TD Catherine Connolly has told of her concern at the inaccurate figures being presented as facts at a public meeting in Oughterard on Wednesday night.

Ms Connolly said she had attended the meeting on the understanding that it was about an unauthorised development. But it was a meeting to protest the rumoured plan to turn a former hotel into a direct provision centre for asylum seekers.
