Local residents open Thornton Hall to asylum seekers; Harris and Trump chase vital lead on final day – The Irish Times

Local residents open Thornton Hall for 1,000 asylum seekers

Plans to open Thornton Hall, a public compound in north Dublin, to house up to 1,000 men asylum seekers are facing further delays after some local residents went to court to stop the project.

The setback comes as the latest figures show that almost 2,900 asylum seekers are homeless, with the plunging temperatures and dark nights raising concerns for their welfare.
