PODCAST: Leitrim refugee family forced to move to centre 75 miles away

A Nigerian family, including two young children, were forced to leave a refugee centre in Co Leitrim today - and move to a different centre 75 miles away.

They'd been in the Dromahair international protection accommodation centre for over a year, but now they've been moved to a similar centre in Athlone. Labour senator Nessa Cosgrove spoke to Eoghan Murphy about the case on Let's Talk today.
