It's anticipated an exit strategy for Asylum Seekers living in the Ennistymon electoral area will commence in the coming months. In a statement to Clare FM, Green Deputy Leader Roisín Garvey has assured that following discussions with party leader and Integration Minister Roderic O'Gorman, "there will be no increase from now on in the number of International Protection Applicants or Ukrainian Refugees coming to North Clare".
