Protests against refugees in Killarney and Rosslare

Protesters against further asylum seekers being housed in Killarney today.

Hundreds of people marched in Killarney, Co Kerry, this afternoon in a silent protest led by residents of the Muckross Road area where a hotel is set to host 70 male international protection applicants.

A single banner ‘Killarney Has Its Fair Share’ was carried by children at the head of the march which at one point swelled to between 400 and 500.
