Lack Of Accommodation For Fleadh Volunteers Raised With Taoiseach

The Dáil has heard Order of Malta volunteers will be forced to sleep on floors.

A lack of accommodation for Order of Malta volunteers at the Fleadh Cheoil in Mullingar has been raised with the Taoiseach.

Longford-Westmeath TD Sorca Clarke says the charity's 80 volunteers will be left sleeping on floors with no access to showers or bathrooms.

The issue was put to Micheál Martin in the Dáil, who said he'd "follow up" on the matter.

The Sinn Féin deputy says the Mullingar branch of the Order of Malta has been stoned-walled for some time.
