A mother who was rescued along with her children from a fire at an asylum-seeker centre in Drogheda says she is terrified about further acts of violence and may have to leave the town. 

The property on George's Street in Drogheda, which houses up to 28 people seeking international protection, had to be evacuated after a fire broke out on Halloween night.
