Gardai have a “new starting line” in dealing with anti-migrant protests after there were clashes awaiting asylum-seekers arriving in Roscrea.

There was one arrest as asylum seekers were being transported to Racket Hall Hotel, yesterday, where both gardaí and protestors were shoved and knocked to the ground in ugly scuffles.
