Tullow first.
That’s the message from Cllr. William Paton who is highlighting a number of concerns.
It follows confirmation that a fourth building in the town is to be used to house those seeking International Protection.
The local councillor says he is completely opposed to the move to re-purpose a former business premises in the town and will seek to highlight the issue at next week’s council meeting.
Meanwhile, a spokesperson for the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth has told KCLR News; “The Department can only confirm use of a premises once a contract has been signed, and will, in the first instance, inform local public representatives and statutory agencies through its Community Engagement Team”.
