Irish police support conversion of Thornton Hall into accommodation for international protection applicants.

Gardaí in Ireland are supporting the transformation of Thornton Hall in Dublin into accommodation for international protection applicants. The Irish police force has deployed significant resources to ensure the work can be completed without disruption, following previous incidents of violence. Initially, applicants will be housed in tents at the site, with long-term accommodation options explored. The site has faced protests but has maintained a peaceful atmosphere. Thornton Hall is part of the Irish government's Comprehensive Accommodation Strategy, aiming to establish state-owned sites for those seeking international protection.
