The Justice Minister has promised to look into a video raising concerns about conditions at a direct provision centre.
The footage from a site in Portarlington, Co. Laois shows 10 beds in one room - where it's claimed 11 asylum seekers sleep.
Minister Charlie Flanagan says he's asked officials to prepare a report on the matter.
The video was shared with reporter Barry Whyte, who says the system is coming under huge pressure:
Eleven asylum seekers are being crammed into 10 beds in one room inside the East End Hotel in Portarlington, which is being used as emergency accommodation by the Dep of Justice
