Direct Provision Tensions: "The Lack of Consultation Isn't Working"

Sinn Féin TD Martin Kenny's car was torched a few days after he spoke out against rising anti-immigrant sentiment in the Dáil. Kenny, who has supported the provision of accommodation for asylum seekers in the town of Ballinamore in his constituency, talks to Fiach Kelly and Harry McGee about his fears that real issues are being twisted to win support for extreme views.

How can the government better engage with communities?But first, London editor Denis Staunton on the forthcoming UK general election.
