The temporary closure of the Islamic Cultural Centre of Ireland (ICCI) is a result of “decades of failed leadership” and “mismanagement”, the Irish Muslim Peace and Integration Council has claimed.

The centre in Clonskeagh in south Dublin will remain closed until further notice and an investigation and security review takes place following an incident last weekend.
