Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has said the Government wants the D Hotel in Drogheda, Co Louth, to have “dual use” to accommodate both asylum seekers and tourists.

There has been considerable disquiet in Drogheda at the impending loss of one of the town's main tourism accommodation providers, and concern about the economic impact on the locality.
