asylum dispute
Ballinrobe hotel 'initially ear-marked for adult males' will house 'families and children', Dept says
The Department of Integration confirmed that the hotel would be used to provide temporary shelter to International Protection applicants.
The disused hotel has been the site of an ongoing protest since Friday night after councillors were informed last Thursday about plans for the site.
Local councillors have said there were concerns about a lack of consulation and the "denomination" of those planned to be housed there.
