Kerry Minister Norma Foley says she’ll bring Killarney people's concerns about asylum seekers to the Minister for Integration.
His department is proposing to locate 70 male international protection applicants at the Harmony Inn on the Muckross Road in the town.
There’s been criticism of this for several reasons, including existing pressure on services, and a public meeting was held last evening in Killarney about this.
