“Let me stress that Killarney understands it needs to play its part in relation to those people that are fleeing war; however, it has to be a balanced response.'
Killarney is at “breaking point” because of the large number of refugees and asylum seekers it has taken in, the town mayor has claimed.since their nation was invaded and the Government has taken to renting out hotel rooms for them.
“Let me stress that Killarney, like any other part of the country, understands it needs to play its part in relation to those people that are fleeing war; h"We find that because Killarney had the beds, that Killarney was seen as an area that could take larger numbers.” Mr Kelleher said local officials have also received complaints of anti-social behaviour - such as wolf whistling - in recent weeks.
“I’m calling on the State to resource the asylum seeker process and ensure that the applicants that are seeking asylum to the country are dealt with in a speedy fashion and either given protection or dealt with through the system and deported back to their home countries.”Not everyone in Killarney is concerned by the presence of so many refugees and asylum seekers.
