Description
Anti-immigration protestors in Dublin guard the entrance to the building site of a proposed accommodation facility for asylum-seekers.
Earlier this month, violence erupted at the site, a former factory in Coolock, a deprived outer district of the capital, which was due to host around 500 asylum-seekers when complete. Construction machinery was burned, police cars attacked and protestors beaten during clashes that lasted for hours. Over 20 were charged with public order offences.
The violence came as the Irish government grapples with a surge in asylum-seeker arrivals into Ireland amid a long-running housing shortage. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
