High Court in Dublin halts refugee center development in Coolock due to safety concerns.

The High Court in Dublin has ruled that the development of a refugee center at a former paint factory in Coolock cannot proceed until local police are assured it won't lead to significant disturbances. The site has previously experienced violence and unrest related to its planned use for Ukrainian refugees and other international protection applicants. Three individuals are legally challenging the development, seeking to halt its use until a broader case is resolved.
