Knockalisheen Tent Residents Told To Sleep In Doors "If They Wish" During Cold Snap

Clare FM

Residents living in tents at Knockalisheen Direct Provision Centre in South-East Clare have been told they can sleep in doors "if they wish" amid the current cold spell. As part of its cold weather response plan for Asylum Seekers at Knockalisheen, the Department of Integration says its repairing a heater in one of the tents, as well as making extra bedding and blankets available. Doras CEO John Lannon says its completely unacceptable for the state to have people sleeping there in the freezing cold.
