ASYLUM SEEKERS MOVED..BUT 'IT'S NOT ANY BETTER'

ASYLUM seekers who were sleeping on makeshift beds on the floor of a Dublin hotel say they have been moved to another facility where "conditions are no better".

Last week, shocking images of dozens of beds lined up on the floor of the Red Cow Moran Hotel in Clondalkin were posted on social media.

The Irish Mirror has since learned that many of the families were later moved to a hotel in Dublin city centre, where they claim pregnant mothers are sharing beds with their children in crammed conditions.

On Tuesday up to 50 families who arrived in the country around six weeks ago voiced their concerns, saying they have no access to fresh water, proper food and medical facilities.

One of their major worries is a lack of PPS numbers, as well as having no support when it comes to filling out application forms, which they claim are repeatedly returned to them.

They also claim there is only one social worker dealing with around 100 people, while the language barrier is "a nightmare".

The group held banners up outside Connolly Station calling on the Minister for Integration Roderic O'Gorman to "urgently intervene".
