Clare protesters vow to continue barricades at Inch hotel 

The protest started when tractors and cars moved into place just after 6.40pm on Monday evening when a coach, carrying around 34 male asylum seekers, arrived at the gates of the hotel, which is about 5km from Ennis.

Protesters who have mounted barricades across the entrance of a remote hotel in Co Clare being used to house refugees have vowed to carry on their blockade.

Speaking on behalf of the protestors, Agnes O’Malley said that Integration Minister Roderic O’Gorman’s refusal to meet the protestors in person was “disappointing”.
