The chief executive of the Irish Refugee Council, Nick Henderson, has called for the immediate transfer of 68 children from the City West refugee processing centre.

Mr Henderson told RTÉ radio’s Morning Ireland that the Council has “very serious concerns” about the children who are in a “shared environment” with 700 adults with very limited play facilities, washing and toilet access.
