Listen to this episode
The Department of Justice and Equality has postponed plans to house 13 women in a hotel in Achill, Co Mayo due to ongoing protests at the site.
The Achill Head Hotel in Keel had been selected as a location to provide emergency temporary accommodation for asylum seekers.
It comes after similar protests in Oughterard in Galway and Ballinamore in Leitrim.
Minister of State for Equality, Immigration and Integration David Stanton told Ivan why this decision was made.
