The government needs to do a lot more to find suitable accommodation across every area in the city for refugees.

That's according to Social Democrats TD Gary Gannon, who says a disproportionate burden's being placed on working class areas.

Deputy Gannon says postcodes shouldn't determine where refugees are accommodated:

"I think it is unfair to the people who are in an old abandoned ESB building down on the East Wall Road. They been told that they have to stay an accommodation that I don't believe is suitable for habitation, while just across the Liffey there are empty hotels lying idle in Dublin 4. So for me, the government are telling us that it's a societal shoulder to the wheel - that needs to be demonstrated".
