A European Election Candidate says anti-immigration feeling is being driven by overcapacity.
The State is being urged to implement a taskforce aimed at supporting towns which have become overcrowded after taking in asylum seekers.
European Election Candidate in Midlands North West, Niall Blaney, says the anti-immigration sentiment is being driven by towns and villages being overcapacity.
Locals in Stradbally and Coole previously raised concerns with the impact taking in refugees would have on their services.
However, the Fianna Fáil Senator says implementing migrant checkpoints at the border is not the answer:
