A group of Ballaghaderreen refugees have written to the Justice Minister threatening to take legal action over alleged problems in the Abbeyfield Hotel emergency reception and orientation centre.
They also complain about the ‘inefficiency of chefs’, claiming food is sometimes not cooked well, and the ‘poor cleanliness’ of the kitchen, tools and staff.
They take issue with Syrians who appear to be working in the kitchen and call on the Minister to send a delegation to investigate the matter.
Otherwise, they say they’ll hire a lawyer and file a collective lawsuit against the company responsible for food at the centre’.
The refugees claim that when department representatives arrive at the centre, they will discover the majority of people have the same problem.
They also claim there was an alleged assault of a staff member in the facility recently because of the food.
Ms Mullen, the manager of the centre, claims the complaint was entirely false and written by a group of refugees hoping it’d convince the Minister to move them to permanent accommodation after being in the Ballaghaderreen for eight months.
