LISTEN: Castlerea protesters voice opposition to refugee accommodation

Protesters claim there aren't enough resources in Castlerea for over 50 refugees to be accommodated in apartments in the town.

They have also expressed fears for people's safety, when speaking at a protest in the west Roscommon town yesterday.

A total of 52 international protection applicants are due to be housed in the Riverwalk apartments from June 7th.
