Racket Hall protests to continue in Roscrea today

Protests over the housing of refugee families at Racket Hall will continue in Roscrea today.

The department of Integration is planning to use the well-known local hotel to accomodate up to 160 men, women and children who’ve come to Ireland seeking International Protection.

The Roscrea Stands Up group is holding a demonstration in the town this afternoon and have asked the local TDs to come and speak.

Organiser Derek Russell says he wants them to bring more than platitudes.
