It has been confirmed that the old Listowel Presentation Convent hasn't been offered for the accommodation of asylum seekers.
In response to written question, Minister Roderic O’Gorman has established that the old Listowel Presentation Convent is not intended to be used as a direct provision centre.
This follows rumours that a centre would open in the town to accommodate asylum seekers.
