Inside Citywest Hotel: 'We are used to protests but it got really frightening when young men started throwing fireworks at gardai'

Residents living in the refugee and asylum centre describe what the past week has been like behind a garda cordon. Protests outside the Citywest Hotel are not unusual. For more than a month before last week's unrest, local residents had demonstrated two or three times a week against the State's purchase of the hotel. "But they just walked around near the entrance with a loudspeaker and placards, shouting slogans. We had got used to that," said Ukrainian resident Svitlana (not her real name; she and the other residents quoted asked for anonymity).
