Activist group, Dublin Communities Against Racism (DCAR) said private operators of IPAS centres receive millions in public funding while offering substandard living conditions.

DCAR said recent comments from Taoiseach Simon Harris and former Taoiseach Leo Varadkar are little different from those made by the "openly fascist National Party".

Dublin Communities Against Racism said the attacks happened at a derelict property on Ormond Quay twice in 24 hours
