A north Leitrim Councillor is calling on Community Engagement teams that are tasked with providing information to communities where asylum seekers are to be accommodated, to 'up their game'.
Independent Councillor Felim Gurn says a recent meeting where such a group were alleged to have 'dedicated' their wishes to local community representatives in Dromahair was counter-productive.
The Manorhamilton based Councillor says lessons are not being learned from other areas in the Country where a lack of communication and consultation has led to criminal damage being carried out at locations earmarked for housing those seeking international protection.
Cllr Gurn says that placing more people in areas that has not the required infrastructure to support them is adding to the frustration.
