Families in Direct Provision are to be moved out of the Skellig Star hotel in Cahersiveen from this week.

The Minister for Justice, Helen McEntee, re-confirmed the commitment made last Thursday in the Dáil when she said that all residents will be relocated from the Kerry hotel "no later than the end of the year".
