An asylum seeker at a Direct Provision centre in rural Ireland, where four people have tested positive for Covid-19, has spoken of his safety concerns.
He explained that he and his family were among residents who were recently moved there from Dublin to protect them from the virus.
It has been reported that four people who were staying at the former hotel have been confirmed to have the virus and have transferred to another location.
The resident, who spoke to RTÉ News, is a member of the Movement of Asylum Seekers in Ireland (MASI). He said one person developed symptoms and was given space to self-isolate after MASI contacted the Department.
