Offaly Councillor Aoife Masterson says people have concerns about the planned development for Inchmore House in Clara.
A Midlands community is 'outraged' due to the lack of planning on a new asylum seeker centre.

She says people in Clara already lack access to basic services such as GP, dental, and mental health supports as it is:
