“Medical assistance was called immediately and medical help was present on site overnight. The HSE’s Public Health Unit has been mobilised and the centre currently has restricted access while the matter is being addressed,” she said. The numbers are said to be putting pressure on existing accommodation provision with some 90-95% of new arrivals expected to be placed in dormitory style accommodation in community halls and sports halls.
Sick of the rain already.
