Speaking on RTÉ radio’s Morning Ireland, Cllr Lee said local gardaí had been interacting with protesters at Racket Hall Hotel in Roscrea, Co Tipperary since last Thursday. Cllr Lee urged Minister for Integration Roderic O'Gorman to visit Roscrea to see the situation for himself. “There absolutely has been no loyalty here to the people of Roscrea by the business owners of the Racket Hall Hotel. He added there also needs to be better communication of the facts about the rights of international protection applicants. The people who arrived at Rackett Hall on Monday were families and female international protection applicants, the Minister said.
