In this episode, Niall speaks with Cllr. Paul Hogan about the heated controversy surrounding the new temporary accommodation center at Lissywollen, Athlone. The government plans to house up to 1,000 single adult males in tents and modular units on an 11-acre site, but the decision has drawn significant criticism from local residents and elected officials, who feel blindsided by the lack of consultation and concerned about the strain on already stretched resources.
