Two men remain in custody in Killarney, Co Kerry, and investigations are ongoing into a violent incident at Hotel Killarney, a large hotel turned direct provision centre, in which a number of people received knife injuries on Sunday evening.
Local representatives, as well as the town's long-established asylum seeker and refugee initiative, say the town cannot cope with the numbers of asylum seekers and refugees it is being asked to accommodate.
