Ruairi Kelly, who lived on the barge while working in Shetland in 2013 and 2014, said the vessel could 'negatively exacerbate' the physical and mental health issues of those on board.

the government is"endangering" migrants and treating them like"less than animals".

He worked three weeks on, one week off, and said the vessel"was fine" for those who were on shift for 12-14 hours a day."If you wanted to go out, like for the weekend or to watch the football or whatever, you could go into the town. Mr Kelly said some of the workers found the situation"difficult in general", adding:"And we were getting paid to be there and you knew you were going home to your friends and family at the end of your three-week rotation."
