“Dual use” of the D Hotel in Drogheda is being examined but no promises can be made at this point, Integration Minister Roderic O’Gorman told councillors on Thursday evening.

The hotel, located in the centre of the Louth town, is set to begin accommodating international protection applicants in the coming weeks, with concerns having been flagged by local representatives in recent days.
