Clare Independent TD Welcomes Dept Plans To House Open Emergency Accommodation At East Clare Hotel

A Clare Independent is welcoming the Department Of Integrations plans to house 77 refugees at a Scariff Hotel. The Lakelands Hotel is the site being planned to house families, couples and single females” with the facility set to be opened in June. Clare is currently hosting the sixth highest total of Ukrainian Refugees nationwide with over 4,400 such Asylum Seekers in the county at the end of last month. Scariff based Deputy Michael McNamara has been telling me while the development is positive for the community in East Clare he feels the county has faced unfair criticism in recent days.
